Google’s Monopoly On Mind Power
Reaction to John Markoff’s article “I Robot The Man Behind The Google Phone”
Google’s greatest investment in the Web 2.0 era would have to be in its people. The billions invested by Google to obtain the most qualified lawyers, and progressive, innovative thinkers are ensuring their success in years to come. This information age especially the new Web 2.o era is driven by the invention of individuals. Individuals like Andy Rubin who is currently responsible for overseeing the development of the Google phone software. If successful Rubin can revolutionize mobile communication and computing and propel Google into the fore front of OS software market the way the PC launched Microsoft and their windows software. Their goal would to be to become the standard OS in Smart Phones giving Google customers (Advertisers) accesses to the majority o f people who own Smart Phones. Eventually as Smart Phones begin to encroach on the PC and Laptop market Google could be controlling the way the majority of people accesses the web. I foresee the Laptop and Smart phone synthesizing into a new market that replaces both. Call it whatever you want but expect whatever it is to have Internet browsing and telecommunication only as features.

A good discussion of the material. Google is taking a big step here and it is not assured of success. There are a lot of other powerful players in the phone business. The struggle for market share will be really competitive.
