Google: Walking the iPhone Knife Edge
March 19, 2009
iPhone accounts for a large chunk of mobile search. You can tap some stats here, but like most of these Web traffic estimates, grab a salt shaker. Season to taste. Google provides Mac power plugs in its meeting rooms. Message: Windows users not wanted. Google offers nifty features for the iPhone. Googlers love to drop into Unix whilst iTunes hums in the background. With so much Apple goodness, imagine my surprise when I heard from two different sources today that the GOOG may be readying a low cost or no cost Gphone plan. Is this true? Tough to tell but my sources are not given to flights of fancy. A subsidized phone makes sense. AT&T offers a deal to iPhone customers. For details, click here for “AT&T Bringin’ Sexy Back, Offering iPhone 3G at No-Commitment Price, No Activation.” My hunch is that the GOOG wants to get a larger share of the mobile Web traffic without an intermediary like Apple. More info on this interesting rumor as I can locate it.

RaiulBaztepo and PiterKokoniz,
Don’t worry about your English. When I lived in Brazil as a child, my Portuguese was worse than your English. Post away. I will figure out your messages.
