Innovative hope for Google super-phone
A fresh brandish of controversy has erupted in Silicon Valley above whether or not Google is lastly generating it’s extremely possess Google-branded phone to rival Apple’s iPhone.
According to the TechCrunch blog, Google is tinkering away on a “super” Android device that assures to be thinner than all existing iPhone and Android devices.
The blog asserts that the Android-powered phones released by the similar to HTC and Samsung have just been a limbering up to the Google Phone as the internet huge seek to dominate the mobile globe.
“Google is building their own branded phone that they’ll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone … available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010,” the blog believed.
It also forecasts the phone will be formed by a major phone producer and have Google branding.
Though, frequent other diligence watchers reacted to the statement with scepticism, saying Google would gain tiny by derailing existing affairs with handset creators.
When Google first released its Android operating scheme final year, it set to rest numerous of the rumours regarding it taking a wager in the hardware space. Google itself has been quoted as saying it favorite to sit on the software side of the smartphone equation.

“There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable.

I have heard that Nokia is going to stop producing Symbian OS cellphones. I would quickly relate this decision to the great popularity of new phones running Android or Mindows Mobile.
And more competition are coming, Samsung has just announced that they are developing their own OS (Bada), brobably will be using on their own cellphones, we will be hearing more about this OS. Emblaze is working with Access (Linux) on developing an OS called Else Intuition, which they will also develp their own devices Else, with an elgant appearance and open the platform for other developers which i personally have high expectation on.
I think it’s indeed a wise move for Nokia, cellphone market has changed a lot and they have to renovate themselves.
