burning the bacon with barrett: Google ignites world browser (and OS) war II

    Google's gameplan will be incomplete without a mobile equivalent, they'll probably time it with a major release of Android

    That makes sense... and I wonder if they'll go the route of Yahoo and make it widget centric (which i like better) or browser centric... or a hybrid?

    So far it seems to be an Opera knock off....

    Nice review Phil, it will be interesting to see how this new war plays out, hopefully it will lead to more innovation from the browser makers

    Phil,

    In the long run, it'll not be about widgets but applications (yes, there's a difference). Yahoo widget strategy is for now and will be a side show in this long term game of desktop, mobile, web confluence.

    For sure they will have a mobile version of Chrome. And if they are smart they will make it similar to Opera (mobile/mini) or Picsel browser.

    Totally agree - in fact i just found this article on the android version on mobile crunch:
