Google wants to become the new Microsoft's mobile

Google is moving their pieces in a very interesting direction. The Mountain View is driving the standardization of Android 3.0, and says that even negotiating with ARM to implement a standardized operating system ahead of the processor architecture. Standardization means several things. For one thing, it means removing the current obstacles to upgrade from one version to another on ARM platforms, solving one of the big buts Android fragmentation.

The process will also allow developers to work with more security and stability on Android and reduce time to time to take new applications. The standardization of the Android 3.0 platform from Google responds to several reasons. The first is as simple as improving the user interface to the hardware side.

The second is to end the problem of applications. Although more than 250,000 applications available on Android Market, few are optimized to run on Android 3.0 and devices, tablets with screens much larger than a mobile. Another 'advantage' of standardization is to enable Android to eliminate the possibility that other manufacturers and sell Android devices installed at their own risk.

Google is particularly interested in preventing end Honeycomb installed on mobile phones. Of course, the fact that part of the code is open is a problem that Google will be resolved in this way to the creation of an operating system like Windows 7 may be. It is too early to assess the actual impact of the negotiation between Google and ARM, but it's clear that Mountain View has long since changed its course motto "Do not be evil '(do not be evil) and' Do what you have do '.
