| We live in a time when everything in our lives has to do double duty. Cars serve not only as cars but also as traveling offices, and dinner dates become business meetings or event-planning sessions. So it’s no surprise that our devices must also do more than just be a phone, an MP3 player, or a GPS unit. If a device can be all of those, so much the better.
Then there’s the Web. We use the Web for everything these days. We don’t look up phone numbers anymore; we Google them. We don’t look up movies; we Google them. And we don’t use a dictionary, thesaurus, map, or cookbook anymore; we Google all the information we need.
In fact, Google is the most used search engine today. And upon activating a web-enabled device, one of the first things people do is open a web browser and navigate to Google.
Google isn’t blind to this fact. In fact, the company monitors the number of mobile devices that access the Google search engine and other Google applications. Combine that information with the data that’s available about the number of web-enabled mobile devices sold each year—about a billion—and then mix in user behavior. Clearly, we need a web-based operating system that is designed to work well on a mobile platform, enabled with all manner of applications to meet user demands. |
