Google Enters the Wireless World – New York Times: “SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5 — Google took its long-awaited plunge into the wireless world today, announcing that it is leading a broad industry alliance to transform mobile phones into powerful mobile computers that could accelerate the convergence of computing and communications.”

Oh yes, boys and girls. Now we’re starting to get somewhere. The time has come to take the mobile phone from mere communication, thence to curiosity and toy, to a truly useful tool for grownups. And if there’s a company to lead that development, it’s Google.

In my humble opinion, Google has long since left Yahoo by the roadside, when it comes to developing useful platforms and clients, rather than just buying them and throwing up a coat of company paint.
