Google has released two major projects for its users in 2008 - Chrome and Android. Chrome has already been released few weeks ago and the first mobile telephone (Gphone) using Google’s Android software is due to be unveiled on 23 September.

Today is a G-day for T-Mobile as it will be the first carrier to offer a mobile phone powered by Google’s Android software. The new Gphone will be on sale in October.

The idea behind Android is to do for phone software what the open source Linux software has done for PCs.

Android SDK is now available enabling developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer.

Google has now entered into mobile phone market where it will have to face the well established phone software players like Nokia with its Symbian operating system and Microsoft with its mobile software.

Interesting to know that Microsoft has delayed Windows Mobile 7 release until the second half of 2009. I think Microsoft had a bad experience of releasing IE 8 with Google’s Chrome which forced it to change its strategy for Mobile7 release.

Let’s future decide who will win the market of mobile phone software as there had already been major releases by Apple and Bleckberry in second half of 2008.
