Google Doesn’t Need To Win
There’s a thought provoking post at O’Reilly Radar ‘Google Doesn’t Need To Win’. The part I find most interesting is the theory that Google just needs to keep multiple smartphones (platforms) in the market…
"As long as there are multiple smartphones in the market, content developers will be driven towards open standards like HTML5"
While I don’t think this is Google’s primary goal, it might become a side-effect. As I wait for my UK iPad to arrive later this week and read about all the Android tablets about to launch, I also wonder if tablets might also cause a move towards HTML5 to balance the current app frenzy.
