What planet is this guy from? Blackberry software doesn't work with Palm, Palm software doesn't work with HP Smartphones, Even versions of Nokia software only works on certain models!
In the world of SmartPhones, you have to buy software for an individual handset's OS and always have done. Google's announcement which now sees Nokia, Ericsson, HTC and Motorola all developing on the same Linux-based platform is the first attempt to unify across an Open Source environment. It's not a diversification.
As for iPhone, business apps have started to appear, so he's wrong on that score too!
Who would pay for strategy advice from Gartner based on poorly informed comment like this?

For real?
Really, this article takes a far leap into the future. Google has only announced their intentions, not released anything. We have no clue of their intentions and what is to come from the product they produce. Let's just cool off, sit back and wait for the next wonderful thing Google has ready for the world, instead of running crazy speculating on what doesn't even exist yet.
will the googlyphone work for people with hearing or vision loss
We are very curious if the handset manufacturers for this new googlyphone-- that is the Open Handset Alliance -- Motorola, HTC and Samsung, will make handsets that are HEARING AID COMPATIBLE for America's growing population of persons with hearing disabilities. We'd also like to know if the likely US providers, T-Mobile, Sprint Nextel, and Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo, are urging these handset manufacturers to make handsets that are both HEARING AID COMPATIBLE and USABLE and ACCESSIBLE to persons with vision disabilities. We'd also like to know if GOOGLE is doing its part on the software end to make sure there is INTEROPERABILITY for any devices that persons with disabilities might use with any such googlyphone. They appear to be at the Design, Development and Fabrication stages of this product/service. Plenty of time to get it right! If anyone has any insight on this, please email me at
