There has been a lot of talk lately about Google buying Android. There are those who say Want an iPhone? Maybe Not. While others are saying gPhone User Interface – iPhone Killer.
I honestly have to laugh. I have watched the video provided on the first link above. And calling the non-existent gPhone an iPhone killer is, well just plain dumb. All of the wonderful applications they talked about on the “gPhone” I can do on my iPhone. iPhone killer, I don’t think so. iPhone wan-a-be, yes.
So now that Google is wanting to screw around with pagerank, they are wanting to get into the iPhone copying business. Get real Google.
It seems to me that Android should be described more as an attempt at a Symbian killer than an iPhone killer. A free, functional OS for mobile phones seems more directed at Symbian than Apple. Now, if someone combined it with some killer hardware and put some great (free?) apps on it – then we might have an iPhone killer.
