No, it is not a space invasion. At least, not the science fiction kind. It is Google's newest strategy to invade our phones with new OS and search capabilities. The up side for you and me is that we get better phone hardware. The up side for Google is that they make more money!

And what does Google get out of all that?  More mobile searches, which could be one of its <A href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/13/mobile-ad-revenues-to-top-4-billion-in-2015-mostly-from-search-report/">biggest sources of growth</A> in the coming years.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/15/schmidt-android-adoption-is-about-to-explode/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.techcrunch.com/img/40BC4A16-D62E-4975-8093-BF1C7F4A320E" alt="androidimage" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/15/schmidt-android-adoption-is-about-to-explode/"><P>The way he put it, by making Android open source, Google is hoping to accelerate the adoption of Web-capable smartphones and get everyone searching on them. Given that most analysts expect <A href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/06/mobile-advertising-is-shaping-up-to-be-all-search/">more than 70 percent</A> of mobile advertising to be search, you can see why Google’s CFO can’t wait to get as many search-friendly Android phones into consumers hands as possible.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/15/schmidt-android-adoption-is-about-to-explode/"><P>Android is a software platform for mobile devices based on the Linux operating system and developed by <A title="Google" href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/google">Google</A> and the Open Handset Alliance.
