Andy, if you rely heavily on Gdocs, mail, reader, notepad for most of your work life, what do you do about security?

I think Google should back an open platform such as OpenMoko. Hopefully they will at least make their phone very open, as opposed to some of their more closed if still altruistic (in some sense) products.

With ipods and ipohone, Apple succeeded because they are able to blend technology,easy interface and style/fashion so nicely. All thes three aspects are equally important for an expensive consumer gadget.If technology is good, interface is good but the fashion aspect sucks, then it would fail.

No matter how good the software features, if looks are not “wow”, I simply wont buy it.

“Having a standardized OS for cell phones… to build real cross platform apps.”

This will be googles biggest power play. Having a standardized OS for cell phones will give developers the ability to build real cross platform apps.

I dont even think that this is going to be a full OS, I think this will just be an application suite .. like the Google Pack .. but for mobile phones .. probably, it will run on existing OSs .. and thats why they are talking to the carriers and not manufacturers ..

“I suppose a phone with a few hundred mhz should be able to support the webapp lifestyle.”
The iPhone does it today. It just doesn’t have the miniports or docking cradle.
Apple doesn’t freely license their mobile OS, and neither does MS, plus WinCE just sucks monkey butt.
That’s why this is going to be pretty darn big.

@22, That someday is sooner than you think. This is the revolution that will finally wipe out most of the things that tether us to our Desks. This is the next BIG computing revolution of the 21rst century.

@17: Especially since I have left all of my desktop applications behind and rely heavily on Gdocs, mail, reader, notepad for most of my work life. I suppose a phone with a few hundred mhz should be able to support the webapp lifestyle. I could dig that, someday…

Goog’s strategy in IM, Mobile, Social Networking and
desktop markets (where
it lags the leaders) is — commoditize them via open-source sw/apis.

In response, Microsoft (and others) would have to
commoditize ad-serving — in particular ad-sense — ie
create an open-source and transparent ad-serving network
(contextual/behavioral/banner).

More speculation about gOS for mobile web 3.0…

I originally posted this on TC, but I think it’s a good, so I’m reposting here.
I bet you anything gOS phones/mobile devices will have ethernet, vga and other mini-ports on the bottom, and will dock in a cradle such as this

@19: I think a lot of people are misinformed or are confused about this matter. Some people think its an OS war, which would be against Windows Mobile and then others think it’s a hardware war against the iPhone.

Someone needs to create a very CLEAR article that shows the truth. Or maybe the problem is that there is so much speculation that the truth is still unknown. This comment might be directed to the admins of TechCrunch.

@15: I agree.

If the Google offering is an OS, it should work on any smart phone or PDA-style mobile phone, regardless of carrier, right? Just like a Windows Mobile phone isn’t on only one service provider’s phones.

OTOH

If the “GPhone” involves specific hardware, it’s a whole other story, I’d suppose, and I can see the need for lobbying for a carrier.

Is Google creating a phone for the masses? That is what any big player should be doing right now.

http://www.slashgear.com/hard-.....228087.php
But with firewire, USB and other KVM style ports, where the miniports on the phone expand to full size ports on the dock to plug in standard peripherals.

Then the gOS phone/mobile devices will completely power your LCD monitor, keyboard, and your mouse. Making the same phone you use on the go, your home computer. And making workstations fully personalized. This is how Google will annihilate Microsoft for good.

Don’t worry Europeans, T-Mobile service sucks in the US, too.
