Google getting along with China Mobile
-
-
Something is about to happen between Google and China Mobile. The former one is the biggest search engine since the birth of humankind and the second is just considered to be the China largest cellphone carrier by subscribers, according to AP.
No one has a clue about what kind of service Google and China Mobile are preparing. China Mobile chairman and CEO Wang Jianzhou hinted to have met Google CEO Eric Schmidt just twice.
But here our take: China Mobile has launched Redberry, the local big rival of the RIM Blackberry. As Google could be launched on the Blackberry handheld, there might be quite nothing to do to make Google land on the Redberry.
If this happens, will China Mobile also integrate the Google Talk? As the government has banned VoIP until 2008. Anyway, they could start with Google Search and Google Maps, two services that might boost the Chinese demand for more wireless services.
UPDATE: One of the first Google products that might end in a China Mobile phone will the Google Reader for mobile, freshly available as announced on the Google official blog.
