Google is taking on Apple in the race to information supremacy. Google is set to release its own mobile phone on October 22 2009. The new G1 phone is going to cost $179 that’s twenty dollars less expensive than apple’s cheapest iPhone. However, the G1 is going to incorporate certain features that no other internet phone can match. Google has to decided to unrestricted the operating system known as Android that the phone is based on. This will allow 3rd party tech. Groups to develop programs for the phone that can be downloaded through the company’s website. Blackberry and Apple have not opened up their technology in quite the same way Google will. The new G1 will also have enhance abilities to connect to corporate email servers, and like the iPhone will be able to operate off of WiFi. Google feels that by not limiting what programs are available for the phone it will greatly benefit the consumer while setting them apart from internet phone producers.
I think that it is great that Google has decided to create a product that will compete with iPhone as well as others. When a company as massive as Google can produce technology innovations such as the G1 it helps out the public tremendously, not only by forcing other companies to drop prices to compete with google, but it will also allow for the public to have more access to information along with allowing the 3rd party developers to create programs that will keep us connected more than ever.
