G-Phone


The implications of the Google phone
Someone asked what I thought about the "Google phone." Right now I don't have enough information. When there is a shipping product somewhere, then I will take a closer look. Until then all I can really say is that competition is good for the customer.

There are two links that I think you might want to think on, courtesy of Daring Fireball.

It's not a phone, it's an alliance. from the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs (the fake Steve).

And I really liked this quote.

A 34-company committee couldn't create a successful ham sandwich, much less a mobile application suite. It's going to be some half-baked turd undoubtedly based on GPE since that's, you know, better than starting from scratch, right? (Wrong.)

For heaven's sake: Find someone, ONE person, with a unique vision. Lock them in a room with some programmers and a graphic designer. Twenty people, tops. Change the world. Quit re-hashing the same old bullshit and telling me it's new, exciting, or in any way innovative. Be ready to fail, many times, but for love of all that is holy take a stand on something.

I think cell phones and especially smart phones are poised to really explode into something that the customers will really want.
