It seems that Google’s mobile initiatives are ramping up quite nicely. According to this article on Telecoms.com, they have begun shipping their software on a new LG device called the KS10. The KS10 is LG’s first handset to run on the S60 platform from Nokia and will feature fully integrated Google Apps preinstalled on the device which is now available in Italy. This is part of the initiative announced in March by Google and LG “to pre-install Google’s services on millions of LG mobile phones”.

This latest announcement corners nicely with the efforts of US MNVO Helio to integrate a GPS-enabled Google Maps into all of their handsets. Additionally, there is still a rumor floating around the blogosphere that Google may introduce a phone of its own in the future, although this has been disputed by many members of Google staff.
