Android battles Yahoo! at AT&T

by JG Mason on Apr 3, 2008 at 03:38 PM

Google’s Android mobile phone OS is being talked about a lot this week.  Yesterday, AT&T wireless Chief, Ralph de la Vega, says that after careful review, Android is “something we are going to want in our portfolio”.  Hot diggity.

Joining the ranks of T-Mobile and Sprint, AT&T would be the biggest player so far to make a commitment to the open OS.  Perhaps an in house battle is waging for AT&T, pitting Yahoo!, the companies official partner for mobile web search vs Google.  Certainly this feud will grow as the mobile advertising space continues its unfettered growth.

The Android operating system for mobile phones is designed to be a simple platform that can serve ads and be easily tweaked by carriers to their liking.  Its open source base has tech consumers excited.

Web browsing advances is said to be one of Andriods biggest leap forward.  Indeed, web browsing is one of the major well-executed functions of the iPhone and a function even Microsoft has spent some time on with their Windows Mobile 6.1 tweak announced earlier this week.
