[The Chosun Ilbo, November 6 2007] Google Phone Has Mobile Calling Industry Worried

Internet giant Google is now gearing up to conquer the global mobile calling market. On Tuesday, Google announced a plan to release an operating system for mobile phones in partnership with handset makers and wireless providers around the world. The Google Phone could become the next iPhone, sweeping the mobile communications industry.

The biggest advantage of the Google Phone is likely to be its extensive Internet services. It will have almost all the features of the Internet -- search, location-based services, instant messaging, media player, and entertainment. This indicates that handsets are now becoming mini PCs.
