The report said that the handset will still be sold through Vodafone in Europe and some Asian carriers, and developers will still be able to get their hands on one, but it looks like the Droid phones on Verizon will carry the mantle for Google's Android mobile operating system.

Google had announced this on its blog on Friday, but there was so little interest in the story that it slipped through the cracks, the report said.
