According to Excite News, Google is entering the cell phone market with an open source software program to be called Android.
Android is designed to unify the developers of mobile applications around a common platform that makes it easier and more enticing to surf the Web on cell phones. Google is hoping Android opens another lucrative channel for peddling ads and services to people when they are away from their personal computers.
This might be a disappointment to many Googleholics who were hoping that Google would be introducing the hardware necessary to take on the iPhone. But, I would not worry. A cell phone is just a combination of light metals and plastic. Apple molds these tangibles and tries to find the find the cool factor, but the heart of any cell phone is the software. Let others encapsulate the heart of the system within its cool body. The software will win out.
