We are excited to announce that Dave Burke from Google is going to be exclusively speaking at FOM about Google’s involvement with the Open Handset Alliance and the new mobile platform, Android. In a change to the scheduled talk on Gmail for mobile, this will be the first time Google has spoken publicly in Europe on the OHA and Android since its announcement on November 5th.
The Open Handset Alliance is a group of over 30 technology and mobile companies who have come together to build the first open platform for mobile, Android. You can find more information at the Open Handset Alliance site, where an early version of a Software Development Kit (SDK) will be available on November 12th.
You can read more on reactions to Google’s announcement at all the Guardian, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch and the BBC.
