Google Android with HTC compared to iPhone 3G
Google is entering mobile phone market, but why they follow iPhone 3G and planned to launch their Google Android next September?. According to the Google plan, this search engine leader entering mobile phone market to expand their advertising business to mobile phone. That’s why Google not manufactured their own Google Android.
High Tech Computer (HTC) a cell phone manufacturer from Taiwan will be the Google Android manufacturer for Google. HTC itself recently launch HTC touch screen cell phone for Asia market. HTC touch itself is considered to be a good touch screen phone with easy interface for its user.
This Google Android is planned to launch in September 2008, although the rumor is already raise in February 2008. Google will collaborate with T-Mobile as a service provider. Its early competitor iPhone 3G already launch last month, referring the iTunes downtime incident during the launch, Google should pay more attention on Android software.
Talking about software specification in this Google Android, Google is developing new open source software to fill in the Android. This open source software will embed with Google advertising online. By entering the mobile advertising market, Google will be mastering the advertising media, both online and mobile.
Android will be have large touch screen display, QWERTY sliding keyboard, 3G capabilities and 3 mega pixel camera. This feature is not much differs from iPhone 3G or its manufacturer HTC touches. Referring to 3G problem in iPhone 3G, lets hope that this problem won’t appears in this Android also.
Google Android price US$ 150 is more affordable than the US$ 199 iPhone 3G, with this proce Google hopefully could start competing with the iPhone 3G as second market player in smart phone after BlackBerry from RIM.
As for distribution goes, Android is currently still limited to US market only. HTC has distributed it worldwide, while iPhone 3G is not available in most Asian countries. The best thing us, Asian folks, can do is get an unlocked iPhone.
Great post, I’m a fan of almost everything Google, they seem to have the right idea, take a little piece, while helping everyone else get what they want.
I know many people think the co. is a corporate evil, but they’ve helped my business a LOT.
I’ve been using the new Chrome browser by Google and it loads like lightening, very stable.
Keep us updated! I would love a Google phone.
