October 10, 2007My Bold Prediction for 2008
- Google will release the gphone
- It will be cheaper than the iPhone (by a little)
- It will NOT work on the regular carriers Verizon, At&T, etc.
- Google will have their own service that will be faster and cheaper than the current cellphone service providers using their newly leased spectrum and their own hardware
- The gPhone will be easily hackable
- Google will release an API for creating applications
- I will write at least one application for the gPhone
- I will buy one as will everyone else
- The default search engine wil be yahoo! (ok not really)
In short, with the release of this phone, google will ‘close the loop’. They will own every part of this technology and monetize it. It will be faster and cheaper so they will win and so will we (depending on how you look at it).
ALL OF YOUR BASE BELONGS TO GOOGLE.
