Comments on: Google GPhone To Be First JavaFX Phone? http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2007/09/04/google-gphone-to-be-first-javafx-phone/ Simon Brocklehurst's Technology Blog Sun, 07 Sep 2008 21:09:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Asam Bashir http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2007/09/04/google-gphone-to-be-first-javafx-phone/#comment-116990 Asam Bashir Thu, 06 Sep 2007 03:18:35 +0000 http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2007/09/04/google-gphone-to-be-first-javafx-phone/#comment-116990 Maybe they didn't mention it but until the iPod Touch launches it's pure speculation as to if it has Google Maps or not. I don't see any conflict between Apple and Google, the mobile phone market is obviously huge so there is enough room for both of them, and more as Microsoft Mobile whatever decreases market share. Interesting news regarding the iPhone prices today, drops of $200. Haven't fully digested all the news from Apple today, but maybe the drop is related to a different marketing strategy and price plan for the European iPhone, which should be out next month. At the same time we should the introduction of the iPhone Nano, candy bar form factor, so maybe it will look very similar to the short and fat iPod Nanos released today. The huge range and diversity of the iPod range today is just amazing and truely reflects just how large the market has become. The Apple phone market will follow in the same manner. Microsoft and Nokia and others in the industry should be very worried today, I think we just saw the death of the Zune Squirt and Nokia Internet Pad. Now if Apple opens up the iPhone/iPod Touch OS X officially (all ready open in the underground) and GPS enabled iPhone/iPod accessories start shipping, it will kill the GPS navigation market and the likes of TomTom and Navman, which is what Nokia has been going after. Also it seems Apple is working on car interfaces now with Mercedes and BMW due for 2008/200 models. With VW it's building an iCar :) The whole damn thing, the dials in the dashboard, the GUI of the speedo, built in navigation and iPod. Bring it on Apple ;) Maybe they didn’t mention it but until the iPod Touch launches it’s pure speculation as to if it has Google Maps or not.

Just that another compiler backend wouldn't be out of the question. Notice how the new iPod has Wifi, safari, but no Google Maps? Google's Eric Schmidt is on Apple's board.

I haven't seen that anywhere. Not sure it puts the relationship between Google and Apple into too much question. Surely, Google wants its services to be accessible from everywhere, including all mobile phones... including iPhone. Apple did all the work to create the iPhone Google apps; Google just let Apple hook into their web services. So it's not like Google has any major resources dedicated to iPhone.

Compiles to Javascript _and_ JavaFX Mobile's APIs? Still, this puts in question the relationship between Apple & Google... That’d explain the sudden focus on Google Web Toolkit.

The image here shows an FIC Neo1973 that should be running OpenMoko, which is worthy of an article itself. Rumor has it that Google is developing on a series of HTC phones. This is going to be very interesting. There are some nice concept images of the Google Phone on the web.
