Google is stepping into the mobile business after achieving the status of most popular search engine and developing other free and useful services such as Google maps, Gmail, and YouTube. Although these applications are available individually for today’s mobile phones, the new generation of phones from major cell phone manufacturers like LG or HTC will already come integrated with Google search and applications. Google might even surprise us with their own innovative hardware with all the essential Google applications built into the headset system.
I expect something even better than Apple’s iPhone.
