Google's Visionary Phone Plan
Google's Visionary Phone Plan Aired: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 11-12PM ET
For months, cellphone aficionados -- that is, a whole lot of this country -- have waited for news of the "Google phone": the "G-phone." When it came, what Google rolled out was not, in fact, a gadget at all.
It was a vision of cellphones as the new PC; of the web rich and deep and always present in everyone's hand; of freestyle armies of creative geeks firing up a new cellphone software platform called "Android."
Your next phone may be free, with Google ads and the whole world in your hand.
This hour, On Point: Google, on the loose -- and talk of revolution on your cellphone.
Guests
- Kevin Delaney, reporter for the Wall Street Journal. He covers Google for the newspaper.
- Rob Pegoraro, Consumer Technology Columnist for the Washington Post
- R. Ravi, associate dean of Intellectual Strategy at Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business and professor of computer science
