Google the search engine company announces vapourware and that means FIC's time is come and gone? That doesn't make much sense. Did you see what the "partners" are saying? They say "we are happy to be a part of this".
This is the equivant of for example HP saying "we are announcing that we will be working closely with XYZ". Nothing has been agreed on, except we will be working on it. Ever seen how "consortiums" operate and how long it takes companies to agree on things. There is also two levels of agreement here. First the participants is this "open platform" (btw let's see what that really means) need to agree. Then they need agreement of the wireless providers, who most likely will not be as peppy on saying "we're happy to be part of this". Such knee jerk reaction from one announcement, makes no sense in "technology announcements". Tech companies often announce things before they even have a conceptual idea of what it will be. It's the "spaghetti on the wall" methodology. Throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks. And google, per said company's roots, will surely have an agenda beyond an "open platform". Adware based on voice recognition? I will never buy a google anything, thanks. -- Doug _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
