At least from my perspective, this news at Phone Scoop indicates that Google is *very* serious in the mobile communications market. Having their own platform spec that fully supports their web properties is a key feature that Microsoft, Palm, Backberry and Apple have not really perfected.
While I hadn’t thought much about it early on, as a longtime professional and progressive “smartphone” user, I’ve recently been thinking more on web services. Obviously the mobile wireless platform is perfect device for web services. Always connected, always on, and able to perform computations. Mature web services like most of those that Google has can be used while on the move and if Google was able to establish their vision and offer it up to the market with little cost, it’ll have a winner. I like it.
