Google Inc. said its engineers are developing software for hand-held devices, and the company has no plans to build mobile phones.

"We're not doing a mobile phone," Alan Eustace, senior vice president of engineering and research, said in an interview Thursday at Google's office in Atlanta. During an event earlier in the day, Eustace said, "I'd like to find something that is broader, rather than do yet another mobile device."

The remarks contradict reports on Web logs and online news sites this month that Mountain View, Calif.-based Google, the most-used Internet search engine, is working with a handset manufacturer to develop a phone.
