Google Android

Symbian, Apple, Macrotard along companies currently providing Linux based mobile OS’s may scoff at Google’s Android offering publicly, but privately the back porch brick drop must have surely started. Google lost credibility with me after their TLA & Izea P3 member targeting. That should have been beneath them. You expect that from some companies that lack public trust.

Around May of 2005 Google bought the mobile phone targeted social site DodgeBall. Come June/September’ish they acquired Android and with it Rubin who was previously at Danger (think sidekick). Today we see Google previewing the Android platform (Linux kernel) while Microsoft springs forward with that arrogant numbnut Ballmer with a press release of their purchase of Danger, Inc. (so much for their kickass sidekick - sorry kids). With a ADHDGraspingAtAllStraws company like Microsoft in charge I suspect a publicly renamed DropKick to appear in the coming year.

Danger, Inc. the company is loosing money. There were thoughts of IPO gleaming in their eyes. I see Microsoft as one of those 3 year olds with the grabs. OOOu, I want that! Gets their hand slapped by Yahoo! *go away
