Google takes on Iphone

Digg it !!!

Google is planing to release their mobile operating system with the help of Tmobile next month.That means google is ready to take on the Apple Iphone. Android is the mobile operating system developed by Google. Google is trying to rule the mobile world also with the release of Android.I think it is more user friendly than Symbian operating system.But now mainly the fight will be between Google and Apple.


If Google plays its cards right, its unveiling of the first Android-powered phone on next month will prove to be more than a distraction from iPhone-mania – it will be the moment the search giant capitalizes on Apple’s control issues.

First, the lowdown on Google’s Android mobile operating system. Think of it as an attempt to do for phones what Windows does for the PC, or OS X does for the Mac. But unlike Microsoft and Apple , Google isn’t looking to make money off of phone software or hardware; instead, it’s giving Android away for free to any phonemaker and wireless carrier who will bake it into a handset.

That clears up why Google needs Android. After all, there’s no shortage of smartphones out here already; if you don’t want RIM’s BlackBerry, you can get Apple’s iPhone, Nokia’s N95; or a Windows Mobile phone from Palm , Motorola or Samsung.With the release of google android on nokia and samsung phones the symbian will be out.
The mobile, “G-phone,” will run on Android, Google’s new software for mobile phones. It will be launched in New York , and will be available in the US by next month. It is anticipated that the phone will be available in British stores by November.
The G1 is expected to cost about $199 (£108), which would be around the same cost as basic 8GB version of the iPhone.The phone is expected to have as built-in GPS (global positioning system), a tilt sensor for gaming, and a camera. Iit will be able to run Google’s range of web applications, including Gmail, Google Docs and Google Maps, and will likely also feature Google’s new web browser, Chrome in the phone very easily and fastly.
