Mountain View (CA) - Google has rolled out the red carpet and lifted up the curtain, finally making an official announcement about its plans to foray into mobile territory.
The search giant announced today that it is working on a software package for cell phone manufacturers that allows users to have more seamless access to various software, including Google programs.
Google calls it the mobile "software stack", and it will have immediate availability to mobile versions of Google search, Google Maps, and Google Products. Additionally, the operating system software will be free, a big change from the current oligopoly of mobile OS makers that charge handset manufacturers various licensing fees.

Google's platform will also be built on an open-source basis, allowing independent developers to create their own array of applications and games at a much less restrictive cost.

the only thing cooler than wonder gadgets are wonder gadgets that you can tinker with at home.
Could Google pull an upset and kick Apple's iPhone to the curb? They almost assuredly won't do something as fancy (as it needs to be accessible to the lowest common demominator), but with unlimited custom apps.. who knows
