Another Google Chess Move
August 12, 2009
ZDNet ran a story that struck me as quite important to the telco companies and their ecosystems. I recall giving paid briefings to some telco outfits in 2007 and 2008. None of these companies figured Google to have much of a chance in a man’s game like telecommunications. “Embedded Android Code Goes Open Source” seems to suggest that the Google has pushed a knight or a bishop forward to a striking position in the telco sector. For me the most interesting segment in the story was:
Mips Technologies released the source code on Monday, two months after it first said it had ported Android to the 32-bit version of the Mips architecture. This architecture is used in set-top boxes, digital TV sets, home media players, internet telephony systems and mobile internet devices (MIDs), and is a rival to the Arm technology on which Android already runs.
Implications for Android embedded in a range of gizmos? You bet.
