Google and ARM (not sure wtf ARM stands for) will officially be introducing Android later this week in Europe. I’m expecting Google’s stock price to jump back to 550 shortly after the demonstration. Apple should be seriously worried about this software development. Google is basically creating an iPhone for any phone. Additionally, Google is empowering developers, or outsourcing their own R&D, in order to speed development and innovation. This is certainly one of the fastest ways to enhance and launch a product - let other people do it for you. The video above is a little weird, it seems almost like Brin is living in the future and in a space station. Right now Google has two main sources of revenue: Adwords & AdSense. These two powerful advertising and marketing systems combined with a powerful phone will create an entirely new distribution mechanism for the company. Good luck competing with that Microsoft & Yahoo; good luck indeed.
