This isn’t about VoIP, per se, but I continue to be fascinated by the ongoing battle between Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to be the set of tools through which you work with the Internet. One of the latest salvos to catch my eye was the announcement that Google’s software will be pre-installed on some Samsung handset models. So now you’ll get essentially Google’s Desktop product on your mobile phone. I wouldn’t be surprised to see similar announcements from Yahoo and Microsoft. As a consumer and user of those various services, it’s rather interesting to watch the ongoing skirmishes… kind of like watching giant kids in a playground… all circling each other and fighting, while we sit on the side and observe.
We certainly do live in interesting times.
