Could the Linux powered Googlephone be an iPhone killer come 2008?
I am led to believe that T-Mobile is the most likely candidate to ship the first Googlephone in the US, with Orange taking the European market. The Googlephone itself is likely to run an as yet unnamed Linux OS on a Texas Instruments Edge chipset. The one thing that really isn’t open to speculation is that Google will use mobile advertising to fund this foray into the cellphone marketplace. After all, it already achieves revenues in excess of $40 million every day from its web based advertising, and the cellphone market is an as yet untapped resource for the Google marketing folk.
By combining Google applications and services with the advertising revenue on a Google specific handset, there is even the rather intriguing prospect of not having to pay a few hundred bucks for the hardware and a monthly fee to use it.
