Google Unveils Mobile Vision; An Open Platform Named Android
by Mark Walsh, Tuesday, Nov 6, 2007 6:00 AM
HOPING TO SPUR THE GROWTH of the mobile industry as it did the Internet, Google on Monday announced the launch of a new mobile software platform aimed at opening up and simplifying the creation of applications and services for the cell phone. As part of the initiative, Google has forged a broad alliance with more than 30 mobile operators and handset manufacturers including Sprint, T-Mobile and Motorola to build new devices and technologies that run on Google's Android mobile platform. Noticeably absent from the newly formed Open Handset Alliance were major wireless players including Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Apple……….
“While the full implications of the deal are not yet clear, it will make Google a powerful player in the mobile realm as well as in the PC-based Internet world, they say.”
The Paradigm Shift
• Traditional marketing is a monologue• Mistake in trying to use online tools the same
way• Internet media enables 2 way communication• The main concept isn’t awareness it should be
engagement– Engagement means getting the prospect involved with your company– Create a memorable relationship– Engage your customers they might have applications you never thought
of – encourage their input.
