Google to Reveal Android Open Source Platform for Mobiles

In the end every myth or rumor gets an answer. The mystery gets revealed and everything that has charmed us loses its power. Knowledge represents the most powerful tool of our century, although for some of us spreading the rumors, which seem to have become the contemporary incarnation of myths, brings even more satisfaction.

Anyway, it seems that another big myth will eventually get its answer in just few days. It has all started in summer, when everybody has begun to rumor about a so called gPhone or Google Phone, which was allegedly meant to destroy Apple Inc.’s iPhone and all the similar brand new smart mobile phones. Practically no one has had a clue about Google’s plans, but these rumors about the gPhone have been somehow intuitive. In any story there is something true, isn’t it?, and it is the same with the gPhone rumors.

Google would be too silly to launch a mobile phone and also a new operating system for mobile phones, as others have started to say. But this doesn’t mean that Google isn’t highly interested in the recently highly developing area of the mobile telephony. In fact this the most certain true idea from which all the gPhone rumors have started: Google has eyed a new opportunity within this increasingly popular area. The mobile telephony sector seems to represent the next big thing for Google and other companies. But Google is advantaged because Google is more likely to repeat its success story from the PCs’ world also in the smart mobile phones’ rising environment.

So, after all these months of expectations and suppositions in few days it will all be known. Although Google has always declined to comment on its much rumored move into the mobile space, close sources have revealed that the so called gPhone myth will be represented in fact by an open source mobile platform. And this idea sounds quite Google-brilliant, isn’t it?

Furthermore, the huge Internet company has been announced by the same close sources to eventually make the announcement on Monday. They have even revealed that hour at which the press conference will take place. It’ll be 11 a.m. Eastern Time. So, in less than 24 hours Google is expected to make the big announcement and to reveal to the whole world the open source development platform for mobile applications. Code-named Android, the platform will contain a full set of components such as a operating system (but not only that), a set of common APIs, a customizable user interface, a middleware layer, a mobile Internet browser and others. Not need to worry, instant messaging standard protocols have been also mentioned by the sources.

So, stay tuned for the Monday announcement!
