The Life of Matt Campos

Well its official, google is going to move into the move into the cell phone world with an open source OS. Right now it looks like they are basically developing a platform to deliver their services and ADs with out the restrictions placed on normal mobile phones. This could be exciting if the platform catches on, being open source will allow any programmer the ability to see the OS and make their own apps, that should be exciting.

One of the first phones to have the new OS and is rumored to be Google’s “Dream” phone, is manufactured by HTC and called the Omni. This looks to be a well rounded and sleek looking phone with aa nice feature set.
