We need the gPhone. Go, Andy, go!
Tom Krazit of CNET wrote an article about the Google Phone recently. He said, quote,
“…assuming Google really is planning on releasing a completely Google-branded phone at retail, such a plan could derail the momentum enjoyed by Google and its Android partners this year.”
Momentum? Do we really want another Windows, this time with Chrome but on mobile devices?
Empower Andy Rubin (the brainchild behind Google’s mobile efforts) to go nuts. He should be given complete, autonomous reign over the gPhone. Pick a set of technologies that compete with the iPhone. Tune ChromeOS to squeeze every bit of joy out of the hardware, blowing away his earlier success with the Sidekick. Then we’ll have some real competition, a chance for Chrome OS to shine. Please make me eat crow for my post on Chrome. I’d like to see a healthy market competition without a green screen of death.
Competition often produces better goods and services, at lower prices. We all win. Go, Andy, Go. Make the gPhone. You have my vote.
