Yesterday a press conference was held on Google's new venture, the Android. Granted this is far from the first Linux based phone; though it could be the one to brake so thoroughly into the general public.
I think it's a smart move. If Google wants nothing else it wants the biggest piece of the phone pie. So that's why we have seen a few different models online. I have seen phones like the IPhone and The Blackberry to more end user general public phones designs. I think this is a incrediblyGoogles part. I never understood why if you can why just release a premium version of your product. Chances are more people will buy the sturdy work horse of the expensive fancy version.
To say they would like to go after Apple IPhone I think is pretty obvious, but I think is wrong. If you look at the numbers the IPhone overall has not been this huge success. I have heard from many people about how they all have jail broken phones, and when you look at the numbers AT&T doesn't make a ton of money when you go online.
Sorry about that I'll get back to the news at hand. One of the great things that Google had done was release the code to the general public a while back. I liked the fact that they could begin real world testing on it so soon. I just hope with all this real world testing that they have been doing, Android will be able to integrate with the average end user like myself.
