Google Will Defeat the Apple iPhone with Android


Google has declared war on the iPhone and I have little doubt they will win the battle. Is there anything Google can't do? ( Ok, Ok).

People have been saying Google would become a major player with the gPhone. Now with the Android platform Google is confident it can do many things the iPhone can't.

There have always been a lot of holes in the iPhone business. Apple chose to go with Cingular ( AT&T) as the service provider and limit options for a lot of people. All the other major carriers have come out with their own smartphones. One guy even says his Verizon Voyager is better than the iPhone.

Google approach, on the other hand, depends on third party applications and an "open software" system. I still don't know a lot about Android, but I find the possibility of a Google wireless phone a lot more exciting than the Cingular iPhone. And for some reason I expect a smoother roll-out.
