This post is in keeping with recent knowledge of Apple's exodus into the 'search engine' market. Though I hate to admit, post that initial whirlwind of ideas, my thoughts tend to flow along a related tangent.
For investors, speculators, traders, scalpers and all and sundry, Google is a 'no-brainers' pick. Revolutionary as it might be, Apple's move is quite outlandish, even by its own standards. In the browser market, the Big E of Microsoft has been around for eons and happens to service around 65% of the market. Other players like Mozilla's Firefox, Apple's Safari, Opera and a few others have slowly and steadily being clawing out a place for themselves into this until recently monopolistic market. The litigation inducing tactics followed by Microsoft, caused AOL's Netscape to fade away into oblivion. Google in keeping with its ever expanding tool kit.... and desire to be a media moghul (yeah... that's what they are.. but more on that later) has come out with its very own browser, Chrome. Google has been a soothsayer for Cloud Computing. In the words of Motley Fool, what Google intends on doing is making the average user, OS agnostic. With the enormous clout that it commands in the online space, Google is fast turning, itself into a unreachable target for the rest.
The Mountain View giant with Android is looking to find its bearings in the telecommunication market as well. The HTC Dream will be the first to run Google's mobile OS, Android. If initial responses are anything to go by, the Android dream, is here to stay and blossom. In keeping with the Open Source architecture, Google rivals Apple's App Store with its own version called Android Market. Unlike Apple's offerings, Android apps will be available for free. With BreadCrumbz, a navigation tool and TuneWiki, a state of the art music player, Andriod sure packs in a punch. Coupled with its ability to run multiple programs, Google's offering scores a notch above its well established rival, Apple.
Google is enveloping the world with its methodology of cloud computing. It defies the premise that architecture and data services tend to be based on. It relies on Cloud computing, which conservatively put, is an artificial string, that allows oneself to latch on to any overhead cloud.
Consider this for example, we find ourselves in a world, where all the required power, services, data, support, is available in clouds. I mean it, ACTUAL clouds, the kinds that dot our skies. In such times what we do is spin our translucent yarns and fling them towards the clouds, thus forming a connect. In this manner we can avail of the requisite offerings of the cloud. However, we never need to be tied down to one particular cloud. We never need to be grounded or shadow ONE CLOUD. We can snip the string and saunter away to another cloud with similar offerings, or have many strings attached to different clouds. Mobility, convenience, variety and an overlying equanimity. Welcome to the world of Cloud Computing! What it primarily means is empowering users through choice.
Google Docs, Android are positive steps towards making the average user OS agnostic. A trend is visibly in the making and it is a trend that is here to stay and bloom.
