On Android Eve, Co-Founder Andy Rubin Predicts The Future Of Mobile - 0 views

  • The objective of Android -- as with Google's participation in the US government spectrum auction earlier this year -- is to move the entire mobile industry forward by opening it up. If Google succeeds, on the shoulders of the iPhone's early success, it will benefit consumers and, ultimately, Google.
  • More than any other single event the launch of the iPhone last year catalyzed the mobile market, which had been in state of sleepy evolution for years. But the Apple device kicked everyone in the rear and kicked the market into high gear. We can effectively date the mobile internet like this: "BI" and "AI" (before iPhone, after iPhone).

Liveblogging Eric Schmidt/Google Interview at Brainstorm - 0 views

  • We get into constant problems with some prosecutor who subpoenas information we don’t want to give them, and we resist it. Which is why we don’t fully operate in China. Our argument is that information is not available in your domain. So countries are now trying to rewrite their laws to say this information cannot be available anywhere on the Internet.
  • Q: What about mobile? Schmidt: Our wireless initiative was a perfect outcome. It was the cost of an outcome. I am on the board of Apple. Last night I was in Palo Alto and there was a line outside. It shows the device is a step forward. IPhone’s competitors all have dec A phone is GPS, a camera, a computer, and a browser. The Phone is tehfirst one with a really functional browser. We show full ads, so that is a huge for revenues/ The new category of apps that have not come out yet really is a breakthrough. One winner of the Android apps, it looks around, names the buildings it sees and tells you what is happening inside of them. That is a really interesting product. In mobile there are a lot od product that have that WOW factor, because of the use of GPS. I think all the most interesting next-generation social apps will be mobile.
  • Q: [Sam Whitmore asks if Google does any work for the government related to the Patriot Act] Schmidt: Regarding the Patriot Act or any of the three-letter organizations, absolutely not. We do provide the federal government with some search and other services through our [government] sales group.

  • 進化の方向性として、「ブロードバンド化」と「リアルとサイバーの融合」、「グローバル化」の3つの軸を示す。
  • 2010年度にLTEを入れたいと考えている。そのとき、手のひらサイズのコンピュータが、FTTHと同じくらいの速度になる
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • W-CDMAを使っている欧州はすべてLTEになるだろう。アメリカはW-CDMAを使っているAT&Tだけでなく、CDMA2000を使っているベライゾンもLTEに移ると言っている。日本では、W-CDMAを使っているドコモとソフトバンクはLTEに移る。KDDIはCDMA2000だが、新聞報道ベースではLTEに移るという計画があると聞いている
  • 多数の人が参加するというのがインターネットのパワー。パソコンになかったリアルタイム性をもたらすというのも、HSPAの重要な要素
  • ソフトウェアのプラットフォームについては、SymbianやLiMo、Androidの3つを挙げ、「パソコンのWindowsのようなオープンなOSがケータイにも普及する。これら3つにWindows Mobileも入れて4つあるとも言える。どれが主流になるかわからないが、どれが発展してくれてもかまわないので、それぞれの端末を投入したい」との方針を語った。

GACL | Linux Journal - 0 views

  • Until Chrome came along, Google's Master Mobile Plan didn't quite add up. Now it does. Chrome -- Google's new superbrowser -- is cream on the top of a new mobile software stack. Let's call it GACL, for Gears, Android and Chrome on Linux.

Google: 10 years from now | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • In fact the ultraportables are important to this story. They are the real incarnation of what Bill Gates thought the Tablet would be. His 2001 forecast that in five years the Tablet would be the dominant model on sale was wrong. But I'll pick up his wonky prediction cap. I think that it will be true of the ultraportable in five years or so; in 10 years, surely.
  • And I think that ultraportable, like the Android phones, will be running Linux, because there's a lot of effort gone into developing low-power versions of it already.
