lockmat Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2...ng_cell_ph.htmlGoogle (GOOG) today plans to announce the formation of an "open phone" coalition, with the goal of developing an operating system for the so-called Google Phone. The new operating system, geared specifically for cellphones, will be used to showcase and promote Google's ever-growing panoply of services, much like Microsoft has done for decades with its Windows operating system. Google's coalition partners, as of Sunday, included Sprint (S), Motorola (MOT), Samsung and Japanese wireless giant NTT DoCoMo, according to people familiar with Google's plans. They declined to be identified because they weren't authorized by Google to speak publicly. Google did not respond to e-mails seeking comment. The new G-system will be based on Linux, a 15-year-old computer operating system that is available free over the Internet. Google's version will be overlaid with Java, a popular computer language.
