*A while ago, the Internet world talked about apotential GooglePhone, especially created to fight with the AppleiPhone. At that time, the Mountain View company avoided commenting onthe speculation; the only thing mentioned was that Google will remain asoftware firm and not a hardware one. So no GooglePhone; but in the meantime, the search giant releasedseveral new mobile flavors of its products. Take the example of Gmail, Google Search, YouTube, Google Calendar. Now, what do you understandfrom this: Google remains a software company, but it develops mobileversions of its products? That's right, Google wants to conquer themobile software industry but how else can you do it if not through amobile operating system?
Themost recent rumors sustain that the Mountain View company prepares amobile operating system that is scheduled to be released very soon, maybe sometimes next week. The folks from Engadget claim that it mightbe entirely based on a Linux platform, because several Googlers arequite experienced in this domain. "At Google, Andy's team has developeda Linux-based mobile device OS(no surprise) which they're currentlyshopping around to handset makers and carriers on the premise ofproviding a flexible, customizable system - with really great Googleintegration, of course, " Ryan Block from Engadget wrote.
Obviously, the entire operating system would be bundled with Google's technologiessuch as search, YouTube or Gmail. Actually, I think it would probablycontain all sorts of shortcuts to allow the handheld owner to accessthe Google services in a matter of seconds if an Internet connection isavailable.
But the main question is: which mobile companies willimplement the operating system into their devices? As you might know, Google signed deals with some famous phone producers such as Samsung, but there is no evidence that the Mountain View company might bring theOS on their devices. In fact, the entire operating system might be onlypure speculation, so. *
