Google invents software for mobile phones
This is a great news for mobile users in the world. All largest mobile manufacturing company already makes agreement with Google for this software.
Google took its long-awaited plunge into the wireless world Monday, announcing that it was leading a broad industry alliance to transform mobile phones into powerful mobile computers that could accelerate the convergence of computing and communications.
The technology is expected to provide cellphone manufacturers and wireless operators with capabilities that match and potentially surpass those using smartphone software made by Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, Palm, Research In Motion and others. In contrast with that of its competitors, Google’s software will be offered freely under “open source” licensing terms, meaning that cellphone manufacturers will be able to use it at no cost and be free to add new features to differentiate their products.
As speculation about Google’s efforts trickled out over the past several months, expectations that it would build what has been called a Google Phone or GPhone have mounted.
But there will be no branded Google Phone. The software running on the phones will not even display the Google logo. Instead, Google is giving the software away to others who will build the phones. The company invested heavily in the project to ensure that all of its services were available on mobile phones. Its ultimate goal is to cash in on the effort by selling advertisements that appear before mobile phone users, just as it does on the Internet.
“We are not building a GPhone; we are enabling 1,000 people to build a GPhone,” said Andy Rubin, Google’s director of mobile platforms, who led the effort to develop the software
So we are waiting for its benefit to the customers in coming year.
