From a business perspective, making a Porsche-caliber android phone doesn't make too much sense for Google. As far as I know, their business objectives include 1) getting as many possible people online with their cellphones searching the web & clicking ads, 2) stealing Windows Mobile market share, 3) and selling android apps to as many people as possible. And I believe, in that order. Besides, I like being able to replace batteries, sim cards, and sd cards on my g1. edit:formatting/typo |

With Microsoft signing a deal with Nokia to include Office into Nokia phones, and Nokia's announcement to ditch Symbian in favor of Maemo there's no room for somewhat outdated Windows Mobile.
Android, Apple, Maemo... there's already too many smart phone platforms to develop for. Since MS dropped the ball with their Mobile OS, They might try to adapt their strategy by partnering with Nokia and getting exclusive rights for some software groups (pre-installs) or some other deals. Most likely exclusive search engine deal.
