Loading ...Where is Google going with its mobile efforts? It’s an intriguing question and although we wish we had the answer, we can only speculate. WebProNews did however, catch up with Michael Martin, our Android news expert, who shared his insights into the topic.
Google has made significant progress with Android phones especially with the Droid and most recently with the Nexus One. Martin is most excited about the Sony Xperia X10, which is also expected be released early this year. He said it is the first phone that “really will out speed the iPhone 3GS.”
In spite of this success, there have been rumors that Google may have something else up its sleeve. Speculation believes the “something” just may be a true Google phone that would be free from any mobile carrier.
Incidentally, Google’s recent actions reveal that there actually could be some truth to the rumors. The search giant recently acquired VoIP service Gizmo5 and last week shared a proposal for White Spaces databases. These actions could be early indicators of a true Google phone.
What do you think Google plans to do in the mobile market?
Google will buy xG Technology and combine xMax and Gizmo5 with Google Voice.
This is what we will be using for communication and data transfer going forward.
Google will personalize mobile searches to direct users towards end purchases of which Google will make a small commission. It´s a great plan, and I for one welcome our new cyberspace overlords.
Shut up Marc
Google usually buys technologies that actually work. XG Technology is just a big stock market scam.

This interview at SES Chicago was done well before discernible leaks came out on the Nexus One as I had seen the HTC Passion before it evolved into the “GooglePhone”.
I still feel the Sony XPERIA X10 will be a better all around phone which was SUPPOSED to be the first publicly available Snapdragon processor Android phone but it has had chronic delays pushing it out toward Spring 2010.
The key with the X10 (& most Sony products) is its price point as with all its features the reported cost is pushing toward $1000.

I am sure this is off topic, but what platform are you running your blog on? I only ask because I want to set up a website as well and I really like your setup. Back to the topic at hand, I think your blog post is one of my all time favorites – I definitely have to do a trackback once i get my blog set up so I can spread the word.
I can’t think of anything erroneous to say about your post. Great work!
