Nov 05, 2007 -- Google announces new wireless platform, but no Gphone

If you were expecting Google to announce the rumored Gphone today, you might have been disappointed. But Google did announce a new platform called Android that promises to shake up the traditional cell phone monopolies. Soon you'll be able to take any wireless device you want and access phone calling, e-mailing, web surfing, music and TV on your digital device. This is not a Star Wars thing that's 10 years away; this should start happening late next year! Google found support for Android among a lot of big-money players. They all see the financial advantages of busting up monopoly cell phone companies who want to control everything on their platform. What the future holds from here on out is almost limitless. But free cell phone calling will probably be one benefit!

What others are saying

  • J's temper
    Be nice J, and take to heart his intentions.
  • Ray's spelling
    Ray - you'll never be VP of anything if you continue to spell the word 'hear' - here. And sentences like "this is how people get slam on their bills". Grammar like that - well... it's just plain bad. I hope you are originally from a foreign country - then maybe we can give you a pass on this. Otherwise, go back and get your GED, at least.
  • AT&T Cell phones
    FYI. I work for the cell phone company for 12 years. Currently AT&T wants their sellers to sell $22 in features on every line and $55 in accessories to every customer. This is how people get slam on their bills. If sellers don't do it, they might get written up. Our VP says we are in business to make money and by making your monthly bill as high as possible is the way we do it. I can tell you a lot more if you would like to here it. Take a look at our profits, the are just like the oil companies.

This week's poll
Do you like the idea of auto insurers switching to a pay-as-you-drive model -- where how, when and where you drive may be monitored?
Yes, I'm all for any approach that can save me money.
No, it's too much like having Big Brother in the back seat.
I'm not sure. I'd like the savings, but I don't know if I'd feel comfortable being monitored.
