Aujourd'hui c'est chez Google que l'on apprend que l'on apprend la mise ne place d'une plateforme ouverte entre les divers intervenants du mobile et du wi-fi. Voici d'ailleur quelques citations du communiqué de presse de Google :
Thirty-four companies have formed the Open Handset Alliance, which aims to develop technologies that will significantly lower the cost of developing and distributing mobile devices and services. The Android platform is the first step in this direction -- a fully integrated mobile "software stack" that consists of an operating system, middleware, user-friendly interface and applications. Consumers should expect the first phones based on Android to be available in the second half of 2008.
The Android platform will be made available under one of the most progressive, developer-friendly open-source licenses, which gives mobile operators and device manufacturers significant freedom and flexibility to design products. Next week the Alliance will release an early access software development kit to provide developers with the tools necessary to create innovative and compelling applications for the platform.
J'ai hâte de voir les réactions boursières sur les grands manufacturiers ! Pour un excellent dossier sur les tendances sur l'utilisation des mobiles voir cet article de TrendWatching qui date déjà de plus d'un an ! Voir aussi Where's my Gphone du blog officiel de Google ?
