T-Mobile confirmed its Android phone is still on track, too. Google denied a report Monday that phones using its Android software have been delayed to 2009. The Street reported the delay, citing an unnamed source. But Google denied the report.

“We’re still on track to announce Android-powered phones this year. Some of our partners are publicly stating that they plan to ship Android phones in the fourth quarter,” Google said in a statement.

That’s little surprise, given that Android leader Andy Rubin last week said phones using the soon-to-be mostly-open-source software will be “available in the second half of this year” just last week at the Google I/O conference. T-Mobile plans to ship an Android phone later in 2008, Chief Executive Hamid Akhavan said in February. T-Mobile confirmed on Monday that its Android-based phone is still on track to arrive in the fourth quarter. “
