Google Android is not a Gphone. It’s the Operating System

Google Android is not a Gphone. If you read me on other blogs then I guess you already know I always said there won’t be any G phone cell by Google and I’ve stated my reasons. I was right. Google didn’t have the time to create a device and to be honest I never though this kind of investment would be appropriate because creating the platform for the future that would include all their applications would bring much more money.

Google Android, which is not the Google phone, is the first platform they expect to be truly open and comprehensive, that was developed working with the Open Headset Alliance that include more than 30 mobile manufacturers. So far Motorola and Samsung that were already buying Windows Mobile from Microsoft, LG and HTC agreed to use Google’s Android. But of course it’s not all about producers so I guess you should know that Sprint, T-Mobile, China Mobile or Telefonica already agreed to provide services.

Here are some features:

Linux-based software
no difference between core applications and third party applications because all have the same access level
you can actually make your custom phone to suit your interests with new and innovative applications
will be synchronized with the Internet. For example calendar and contacts could be downloaded from the web
developers have some nice toys: location of the device, connecting it to other devices.

I’m sure we’ll have a lot of buzz the next few weeks or maybe months about the new Google Android OS, which will be a success just like many of Google’s applications.
