Google Goes for Wireless mobile
The company’s initial forays into mobile were beset with all the problems you would
expect.The freedoms Internet users enjoyed were not shared by mobile phone sub-
scribers. Internet users can choose from the wide variety of computer brands, operating
systems, Internet service providers, and Web browser applications.
Nearly all Google services are free and ad driven.Many applications in the Google
Labs suite would directly compete with the applications available on mobile phones.The
applications range from simple calendars and calculators to navigation with Google Maps
and the latest tailored news from News Alerts—not to mention corporate acquisitions
like Blogger and YouTube.
When this approach didn’t yield the intended results, Google decided to a different
approach—to revamp the entire system upon which wireless application development
was based, hoping to provide a more open environment for users and developers: the
Internet model.The Internet model allowes users to choose between freeware, shareware,
and paid software.This enables free market competition among services.
