Google is in the same place as Apple was a few years ago - one mainstay product that keeps the lights on.
I don't think they have any other choice, they must get into something like the handset business, or something else where they can leverage their brand.
Who on *earth* with the slighest amount of disposable income is going to put up with listening to audio ads everytime they want to make a call, though?
I'm not so sure. We all put up with ad's on TV and Radio so why not. Most websites are funded solely by ad's. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a big market for people willing to put up with ad's for free calls. There are an awful lot of poor people around the world.
Why? Who cares. The iPhone is made by Apple, it works best on an Apple, why run it on an Apple through Windows? Makes no sense. I would understand running a black berry via Parallels, but the iPhone?

Thank you for not reading this thread. It's not as if that sort of question is never covered or already answered.

It doesn't fit with their company's goals.
You'd better let them know before it's too late!
Stop being so greedy!!

Exactly! Google's end game is to bypass the whole cellular industry.
Google will provide the nationwide(eventually global) wireless network and software backend.
Apple will provide the mobile wireless devices, retail distribution and customer support.
at&t, the clock is ticking.
Do I understand your prediction correctly that, after Apple/AT&T exclusivity
agreement expires, Google will have an acceptable nationwide (US) wireless
network that iPhones will access? I could go for that.
Come to think of it, Google's insistence that the new wireless spectrum being
auctioned should be required to be accessable by ALL devices fits with this
prediction.
Think of it as pre-derailing a thread. We know it happens eventually, so they might as well get it over with.
I agree though. It's unfortunate. It would be nice to have more, but concise threads rather than fewer, sprawling threads.
