I think the best thing that Google can do is to work with memory manufacturers to put/embed their OS, drivers database, and even applications on memory modules with the size of 128GB or oven 256 and in the future 512GB memory. I don't understand why we still need hard disks or hard drives on computers when we can have memory ships with 256 GB or larger.

I am not an IT guy but from I have been reading for the last 20 years and from what I can see happening in the industry for the last few years and the advent of the iPhone, iPad and Nokia N900 and other tablet PC's I believe the concept I am talking about is very feasible and technologically attainable with very little investment in R&D.

This could be done in two stages, first one is to have the OS, drivers, and basic applications embedded on the memory chip while keeping a hard disk for much bigger applications like Microsoft office, Adobe creative applications, games and every other application which are widely used by a lot of computer users around the world and the advantage with this option would be instant startup, longer battery life and reduced risk of losing information caused by hard drive failures as the operating system is stored on memory chip which less sensitive and vulnerable to chocks.

Stage two will be removing the hard disk altogether and using memory chips for storage of OS, drivers, applications and games. I will leave it for the experts to list all the benefits of this kind of configurations including cost benefits in my opinion.

Google will also have to design very cool applications, desktop, laptop computers and tablets......

I think Google will have a great opportunity to take over both Apple and Microsoft within few years if they can build their own branded desktop and laptop computers with their OS, drivers, applications embedded on large size memory chips and replace the hard disk technology for ever.

I think eventually the Android will take over the market. It's got a huge dent in the market share and is available on multiple phones (My favorites: Droid X, Droid, Droid.Incredible).

I've never been an iPhone fan, so I welcome our Android overlords.

Ive had an iphone 3g for just over a year now. I love it and it has been good to me over this time but im sick of paying over the odds with apple! For the price, android handsets generally have superior hardware and I would rather get more 'bang for my buck' than the prestige of owning an iphone. An HTC android phone it is for me next!!

Android is amazing!! and keeps getting more and more amazing!! the only bad thing about it, is that there are so many new and better phones with Android that come out right after another phone! i.e. the Nexus One has come out, but now there's the Bravo, the Scorpion (rumored, but i believe it) that its tough to buy one because u know that in a few weeks, there will be rumors of another faster phone with the newest update! lol!! but still, Android is awesome and is taking over!! i have a Mytouch and i like it, but of course, i want a Nexus One!

Many of the Android devices use a rollerball. HTC does this especially, with the T-Mobile G1 and the Nexus One. That way, I can use the phone without having to take off my gloves on a wintery day.

Multitasking is a double-edged sword. The iPhone can't multitask, but every app runs with the full support of the CPU and memory because of it. Android phones can slow down as more and more always-running apps are installed.

The G1 falls to this a lot (my phone). It takes some adjustment of usage patterns to conquer it, like exiting apps by returning to the home screen every time you're done with something.

I think what people want most from a mobile operating system is; ease of use and a low purchase price. Providing an operating system for free will lower the total manufacturing and purchase price.

I'm not sold on google o/s for computers but I can see a real use for this mobile o/s. So long as it's not a turd like windows mobile.
