Google is going to let no one be a major player in mobile, except themselves. They are going to use the same plan they have always used--free, easy and effective.
If you're too lazy to look at it, it's an attempt to give many phones iPhone-like functionality. I do not understand Zumobi's business model. The technology is pretty cool, but why would marketers waste their resources building a channel they would have to lease?
Sounds good to me. I never liked being tied to a specific phone model for a specific carrier. I've been meaning to upgrade my new phone, but I think I'll wait until an "open" Google phone appears on the market.
