Tyler's Tech Tossup

The gPhone
So Google is in talks to now move into the world of cell phones. "iPhone killer" you say. No, not quite. If you haven't heard (then you've missed a lot about the giant that is Google) Google is set to release there own operating system that would go head-to-head with Microsoft Windows. Google hopes to have a mobile operating system as well that would include mobile applications like a search, map software and web browser . Just like the rest of there products, all of this will be free. Google themselves have been designing phones to test out there OS, but plan to have a phone retailer such as Samsung or Motorola actually design the phones and just include the Google products.

"In short, Google is not creating a gadget to rival the iPhone, but rather creating software that will be an alternative to Windows Mobile from Microsoft and other operating systems, which are built into phones sold by many manufacturers."

With the movement of cell phones moving towards all-in-one devices, like the iPhone, I think this is a great move by Google. I am impressed with all of there products so far and this would be a huge step for both them and the consumer. Hopefully this could help with phone costs as well. This is set to be seen as soon as sometime next year.
