Google Is Calling The Future Of Mobile

09.21.08 | Comment?

Google has a short bit on it’s blog, priming the pump for some Android PR, maybe, but a nice summary of the next couple of years trajectory in mobile. Here’s a snip:

The phone that you have in your pocket, pack, or handbag is probably ten times more powerful than the PC you had on your desk only 8 or 9 years ago (assuming you even had a PC; most mobile users never have). It has a range of sensors that would do a martian lander proud: a clock, power sensor (how low is that battery?), thermometer (because batteries charge poorly at low temperatures), and light meter (to determine screen backlighting) on the more basic phones; a location sensor, accelerometer (detects vector and velocity of motion), and maybe even a compass on more advanced ones. And most importantly, it is by its very nature always connected.

Read the rest on the Google blog here. I posted on some of this not too long ago here.
