The not-google phone
In addition to yesterday's review, Meet Android - a translation of today's editorial from the New York Times, very clearly dotting iGoogle.
The two technology hits of 2007 are related to phones - Apple’s iPhone, released this summer, and the news on Monday that Google is organizing the development and financing of a new open standard software for mobile phones. Some people were disappointed with what they heard because they could not hold a new high-tech toy in their hands. But in fact, we can be on the threshold of the same breakthrough as in the case of the iPhone, although it will be a breakthrough of a different kind.
Google said that a new software development platform called Android will be available for developers next week, and that Google will collaborate in this work with leading players in the high-tech market that formed the Open Handset Alliance. Google aims to (not to mention the enormous expansion of the online advertising market) the creation of software for mobile devices, which will be more flexible and innovative compared to what we see today on our mobile phones.
The impact on the mobile phone market can be enormous. Currently, the mobile world is mainly determined by operators - networks that provide the connection between subscribers. Google intends to turn over all this design and put software at the forefront, opening the development of programs and phones for third-party developers. The end result of this process can be a richer and more integrated world of mobile devices — smartphones, increasingly resembling handheld computers, and a greater choice for consumers.

The new model offers huge benefits to Google, because it will promote the use of the Internet on mobile phones, and the Internet is the place where Google makes money. Google is openly challenging Microsoft, Apple, Nokia and other companies with significant stakes in the current state of the mobile device market.
Another winner will be innovation. The new model of Google is betting that the more minds will be involved in working on mobile devices and software, the better, and that the future of a mobile phone is not in the phone itself, but in its role as a tiny computer that can connect any way possible. in ways with the world, both real and virtual, around it.
