Search, cell phones, RSS feeds, code, documents, blogs, Gmail, picture editing, 3d drawing, plus 100′s of applications for everything you can think of. Do you think that Google is taking over the world? As one that is very good at getting around the web, checking out the newest apps and gadgets, I think that Google has a very tight hold…..oh whatever they want.
Today I read that Google is checking into creating their own cell phone. Can you believe this? A couple years ago I was excited to hear that Google might hook us up with free wireless internet (called TiSP) and now they have come so far in other places. Right now the free in home wireless internet is in BETA and you can see 8 signs it’s coming right here.
So, the main news this morning was about the Google Phone. The phone, called the “Nexus One” has many questions around it, but the main one is who is going to buy it and can Google top other models selling on the web like hot cakes?
Apparently, there will be an option for an unlocked phone, as well as, a phone that is hooked with T-Mobile and their network. At least you have the option right away, unlike some phones that have come out recently. Of course, Google can pay for this type of thing through advertising. Google has mastered the technique of getting ads to people in the smallest spaces on the web. If they can do this with the phone, Google will stand to make millions more serving ads to it’s phone users.
Critics say the system could fail like the “free PC’s” system that was unvailed a couple years ago. Users got a free PC with ads displaying and that kept the cost to the manufacturer to a minimum. The PC’s failed because the speeds were slow and users complained the ads being served took up valuable PC resources. Can this happen to Google too?
In my opinion Google will not let this happen and has the knowledge, technology and money to make sure of that. That doesn’t mean Google will not fail at it, but they have a very low % of failure based on the resources available.
