The news has been rife for a very long time. Google is supposed to be working on a mobile project and it was considered to be a worrying factor for the already launched Apple iPhone. The iPhone has been creating great waves in the mobile market the world over, can Google GPhone be any better? What all does this phone incorporate? What new does it have to offer?
Gphone From Google & Iphone From Apple
Surprise! Unlike the iPhone, the GPhone by Google is not a phone! It is actually a software for mobile carriers and mobile advertisers. It is estimated that this gadget is actually an attempt by Google to tap the mobile advertising market, which might be small at this point in time but is expected to grow drastically. The details of the phone are not fully out yet, hence the confusion about its functionality remains. More reports about the same is expected to be divulged by the company later this year and by 2008 handsets fitted with this software might start making rounds of the world market.
Google's GPhone is an open source phone operating system. In the recent times, there has been a growing interest and advancement in Linux-based software and development tools for mobile devices. Rumours are also gathering to the effect that with this software Google is planning to develop a cheaper alternative to Windows mobile operating system by Microsoft.
The GPhone project has ignited a great deal of inquisitiveness and intense speculation on the World Wide Web. A search on Google turns up over 2.7 million references to "GPhone." Google has tied all its hopes on the growing popularity of Linux based mobile operating systems. Big names engaged in mobile manufacturing viz. Motorola too are optimistic of the success of Linux in the near future.
The market for Linux has not been formed. This will give Google the leverage it needs to launch its high profile GPhone to be a success in the worldwide market.
