>>i think so it just work on iphone ...

That, and Androids.

There's a lot of point in Google spending time and money supporting products in the order:

(1) the truly portable solution (e.g., Android)
(2) the proprietary systems that might matter (Apple) and don't compete with Google

I could see Blackberry happening in the future, depending on how open their development environment was, and how important the platform seemed. Google product development has taken the sensible attitude towards Microsoft: if you're trying to push the envelope of technology, Microsoft platforms simply don't matter. (Microsoft platforms are designed to lock developers into a black hole of endless rewrites to accommodate random changes in the environment, in another in a long list of schemes to suppress competition--in this case, by making portability impossible. Google--a well-known free software user--has not fallen, and probably won't ever fall, into that trap.
