Google to unveil mobile strategy

google.jpgGoogle will unveil its mobile strategy on Monday, including a phone operating system and a broad alliance with multiple wireless service providers and handset vendors, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Sources said the Google mobile operating system would be based on open-source Linux code, which will support applications from different software developers in addition to Google’s own services, which include email and mapping.

Its partners include Sprint Nextel, Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile USA, Motorola and Samsung Electronics, sources said.

The phones are expected to come on the market around the middle of 2008, said one person who was briefed on the plans.

“What Google is trying to do is win the war for a much larger audience, that being the mobile device,” said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
