iPhone, Droid–get ready for Google domination…Showdown to begin in 2010
What do we know? It’s an HTC phone – probably the Passion, a distant cousin to the beautiful HD2 – with large touchscreen. It’s GSM unlocked and everyone at Google has one so whatever the super secret specs are, they won’t stay super secret for long.
But what if Google starts to sell this thing? This is “a big deal” on the level of Neo learning Kung Fu in The Matrix. This means Google is making hardware.

Those of you with the latest iPhones that can record video should check this article form TechCrunch out
OWLE Hacks The iPhone to Make A Serious, Zooming Video Camera.
The OWLE team is back at it again, and they never fail to impress. Just a week ago, they announced the availability of the OWLE Bubo, their first product, which turns the iPhone into formidable video camera. Now, Harold Smith and Graham Mcbain have gone a step further. They’ve figured out how to access the 30 pin connector, the connector on the bottom of your iPhone that you use to charge it with, for more then just charging. What Harold and Graham have come up with today, could make video on the iPhone near broadcast-quality.
Tech blog GigaOm has received a Motorola Droid for testing, Android This Week: Droid Lands on Verizon; Google Adds Navigation. The GPS navigation being introduced with Android 2.0 platform sounds very impressive and like a potential business threat to persoanl GPS navigation companies like Tom Tom and Garmin.
Verizon, is not putting all it’s eggs in one basket with the Droid and there is rumor of the second phone, Droid Eris, they are going to launch with Android platform–this one is supposed to have a lower price tag for the cost conscience consumer (which is every body these days, right?)
Also this week, a few details about another Android phone emerged. The Droid Eris by HTC is expected to be Verizon’s second phone with the OS. The Eris lacks a keyboard and appears to be a more budget-friendly phone. If rumors prove accurate, the Eris will be released shortly after the Droid, so there won’t be long to wait.

Just read on Mashable that Google is in production on their own Droid phone that is anticipated to be open and low-cost (I think the low-cost part is up to interpretation, $50 bucks would be cool–just in case they’re listening).
“If talk of the Google phone plan is true, the entrance of a unlocked, low-cost, Web-friendly touchscreen device will probably undercut other Android (
) phone efforts by players like Motorola, Samsung and Dell.”

Read Write Start has an article about a new Give Work iPhone App which allows for tasks to be given to workers in refugee camps via cell signals. Tasks are small such as searching for copyrights on images but the potential is huge. The two groups that teamed up are Samasource and CrowdFlower.
Could microwork based on digital tasks become a new and viable economic model, and provide a needed boost to Developing countries? Software as a Service (SaaS) has certainly taken root and is common in business practices–your life in the Cloud.
I remember reading about the explosion of cell phones throughout the African continent and how the economic models were beginning to change–cell minutes being traded as currency–in the time frame since the initial boon, connectivity may be better today making the LaaS market ripe for potential. While reading the original post my mind was instantly drawn to the notion of using microtasks for QA testing of new websites and applications-could Labor as a Service become a new way to deliver better tested products in shorter time (all while helping to increase the welfare of others)?
I’d be interested in hearing what you think about this topic, leave a comment…
