It appears that Google’s mobile strategy is starting to pay off. In a third quarter conference call, Eric Schmidt, CEO stated that “Android adoption is about to explode.”
There are now 12 Android phones across 32 carriers in 26 countries.
According to an a recent article on TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld the whole Android strategy is to offer an low-cost, fully-featured, open-source OS and hand that to the cell phone manufacturers so that they can concentrate more on designing desirable hardware. This strategy will allow Google to get an increasing amount of it’s revenue from mobile searches. This trend is anticipated to be one of Google’s biggest sources of growth in the coming years.
