According to Bloomberg News, Google and AT&T have had a chat or two about AT&T joining Google’s Android mobile software movement. This is good news for all AT&T users if it goes through, since when Google announced that they were going to open their doors for different carries to use their open source software, AT&T and Verizon were the only two not invited to the party. Maybe they just didn’t invite themselves, I’m not sure which statement is more accurate.
Ralph de la Vega, AT&T’s CEO, said that AT&T is “analyzing the situation” and could end up using Google’s open source software for their phones during an interview on Friday. Details? Oh you wanted details? Sorry, no details. Ralph excused the lack of details by saying he hasn’t personally met with Google… yet!
Google made the big announcement that it would work with other companies to fully develop their open source software for mobile phones on November 5th. Amongst the 33 companies that made up this alliance, the big ones are T-Mobile, Nextel and Sprint.
I can’t even imagine how far they will take this, but I’m sure everyone will be happy with the kick ass phones we’ll see as a byproduct of this. The users will be happy with all of their new phones and features, the advertisers will be happy serving ads through new means, the wireless carriers will be happy by selling more phones, and did I forget anybody? Oh yes, Google will be very happy and maybe set out to buy the moon next. (I bet they already have the money to do so)
