Today, it was announced the final movement in Google about mobile phones. After several months of rumours, the New York Times published this interview and Google has announced today an open platform for mobile devices developers called Android, together with the Open Handset Alliance which gathers 34 companies, mobile telcos, suppliers, software and Internet companies, semiconductors and commercial companies.
Among those companies we can find KDDI, NTT DoCoMo, China Mobile, HTC, Telefónica, T-Mobile, Intel, Samsung, Motorla, LG… No news from Nokia, Palm, Vodafone y Apple.
So there will be no Google Phone. And this might be bad news for propietary OS such as Symbian, RIM, Windows Mobile or the recent alliance of Motorola and Sony Ericsson with the UIQ plataform. Not to forget the new OS X of the iPhone. Y sin olvidar la versión de Mac Os x que controla el iPhone.
I did not have the time to research much on my own about the platform, so thanks to the great summary in Caspa TV where this summary has been extracted.
