Google enters mobile phone market
SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Google Inc (NasdaqGS:GOOG - News) said on Monday it would offer a software system to make the Internet work as smoothly on mobile phones as it does on computers, seeking to spur change in a tightly controlled industry.
ADVERTISEMENT In its long-rumored entry into the mobile phone market, the world's leading Internet company said it would start next week by allowing independent designers to tinker with its software, known as "Android." Google-based phones are due to appear in the latter half of next year. |

Re: Google enters mobile phone market
Since you are all techno fags - thought I'd ask...
What good is the software being better when you are still hampered by the shit access speeds of shit systems like AT&T's edge and Verizon's whatever the fuck it is they have that's like edge but called something different... Corner?

Because granny and those who post on blackplanet.com still have dialup. But yeah... our "FAST" cable modems are pathetic compared to some countries.

I know that our pre-teens could be much more productive while walking around the mall if they had faster interwebs.

Re: Google enters mobile phone market
I get HSDPA in Nashville, Lexington and Knoxville on my 8525. It averaged about 615kb/sec downstream which ain't bad for a phone. Or I can pillage someone's unsecured wi-fi with it if the need arises.
