NYT's report covers no new ground, and IMO is a thinly veiled hit piece against Google, where the underlying message is "Why go gPhone when you go to Google.com from a phone already?" The guy just doesn't seem to get it.

Agreed ... The bigger deal IMO is that Google is taking it's ad-based model to mobile, offering its software for free versus the licensing models currently in place by other mobile OS providers.
I know a historical minded technologist is somewhat ironic, but Google's ad diversification is both necessary and detrimental in the same breath. Dominating the search based advertising sector requires an interest in mobile platforms, but the infrastructure required will hinder Google when the market saturates.

Yea, although the mobile Web in the US is already slow enough ... waiting for a bunch of ads to load as well will make it even worse! Though, it's good to make the investment now I suppose so when our networks get better (sometime in our lifetime hopefully) Google is a big player.
