Google pumps big money into GPhone

see here:

http://www.itpro.co.uk/news/121619/google-pumps-big-money-into-gphone.html

but ... why to recreate again, and again the same thing ... why to not
use all openmoko infrastructure!?. See here a real alternative:

http://www.openmoko.com

maybe is time for google to think ever more big and save some money
from his big pocket to do something else with it ...

for me this forced ads is so stupid ... is not working !!! and
thinking that google learn his lesson whit that little and so
nonintrusive google search ads .. and why to be soo expensive when you
can use already almost finished openmoko platform!? Why is this need
to reinvent the well !? Use it !! This is the only way to beat apple
iphone, his only weakness is the closed proprietary hardware,
overpriced to all of us. And google want to make even a more expensive
phone and to lover the cost with ads!! What a stupid ass ideea. Nobody
will buy it!

for me what i'm like to google, is his more smart ads than
competition. this is what make me to use it from a long time ago ...
his effort to deliver the so called "personalized ads". look at google
search page! based on what you search you see some ads ... in a
somewhat dull form, little text to you right ... i highly appreciate
this ... compare it with animated gif's and annoying lash from
competition ... a smart decision ... google ads look like a tinny
suggestion, not screams to buy ... and this is right because my main
activity is to search something using google search page not to buy
this and that.

but i have no idea how google can reproduce this behavior to a very
tinny screen! this is the problem. a gphone must be tinny! and in this
tinny space you struggle to use your phone apps, maybe some little
games. how to jump here ads without taking space from my apps? because
when i use the phone i do something with it .. i search in agenda, i
play a game ... etc. no right place left to put a tinny, smart and non
intrusive ads.

in a gphone is no space left for ads. screen is to tinny, and must be
tinny! i don't want to carry a half sized laptop in my pocket
everyday, all the time!

so ... from where will jump to me this ads in a gphone? my fear is
that is only one strategy left for ads to appear ... to take all
screens when i don't want to do that .. and this will angry me, very
much ... and i will throw gphone to bin scraps ...

you have some new info here?
