Google's Android Phones





Google's entrance in the mobile computing industry can do wonders to it. The beginning has been with a mobile phone OS platform Android.


Google has launched an open operating system for mobile phones, called Android. It has also formed an Open Handset Alliance with 33 partners, promising "better, cheaper" mobile phones.

The 33 firms include mobile LG, HTC, Motorola and samsung, chip manufacturing firms like Qualcomm and mobile networks like T-Mobile and China Mobile.

This will be a path breaking move by the Search Giant and also in the mobile application industry because the tools are linux based and will allow developers to create application which are more useful and pretty much task specific or we can say need specific.

I believe Google's move is very good for mobile business as this will gear up other rival platform system like Symbian, Palm, Windows and BlackBerry will try and provide much user friendly applications.

Though Google has not revealed what kind of application the mobiles are going to get and how they are going to be better than the existing ones but still considering the promises it makes the future is sure to go on the brighter side.
