    Ok, to clarify, Nokia is not a player in the smartphone market in the US.

    The Apple iPhone is not a suitable device for use in a real workplace. You can't receive e-mail in real-time. Their push e-mail is a joke compared to a BB enterprise server. The iPhone may dominate regular users and casual business users, but true business users will stick with the BB and Palm.     Reply

    I don't think the Dream will be an underdog for long. HTC currently makes the most powerful Pocket PC's worldwide, and many people have been waiting for an "Android" phone. Too bad this is on T-mobile and not A&T. Reply

    Ok, there is an Android phone. Other than the association with Google, what is supposed to make it special?

    In Q1 2008, according to Gartner, Nokia sold 14.6m smartphones and clearly holds the number 1 spot. The next closest was RIMM with 4.3m units. - Source: Gartner via Washington Post

    To leave Nokia and the Symbian platform out of your report clearly negates any credibility here.     Reply

    Nokia and palm are out of the running. I don't give Google or RIM a lot of chance to keep pace with iPhone, either. The devices are more different than they are similar. I do expect Android to be more like iPhone than a simple email/calendar device like RIM or Palm.

    You will be able to browse well on the gphone, but I don't expect it will fit your pocket very well, and I can't imagine having ads on the thing, other than the normal ones when browsing. Maybe that is enough, since that is where Google makes it's only money anyhow.     Reply

    Google is great at making a splash within the search realm. Google is NOT at all great at anything else. Let's see what happens in 3 years. Reply

    It seems in its efforts to remain a "premium" brand, Apple has mostly stayed away from getting in the ad business. Sure, they list "top picks" on iTunes, but that's not quite the same thing as displaying another NetFlix ad. Apple knows that ads cheapen products.

    And, just as important, ad revenues are unpredictable. They don't want their stock value tied to the marketing decisions of other companies.     Reply

    At what point do we stop calling these devices smart phones and start calling them hand held devices that make and receive calls? I'm not really sure I would be interested in a device that displays advertising, or am I reading the logistics of the software wrong? Reply

    Nokia is not a major player in the PDA/iPhone market. The phones they did create for this market mostly flopped. Reply

    What about Nokia? They don't exist? Didn't they just take their operating system business private (what are the stats on that)? I know this story is about Google, and metioning the word Apple will get you more page views, but lets not lose site of Nokia! Reply
