Google's Visionary Phone Plan

For months, cellphone aficionados -- that is, a whole lot of this
country -- have waited for news of the "Google phone": the "G-phone."
When it came, what Google rolled out was not, in fact, a gadget at
all.

It was a vision of cellphones as the new PC; of the web rich and deep
and always present in everyone's hand; of freestyle armies of
creative geeks firing up a new cellphone software platform called
"Android."

Your next phone may be free, with Google ads and the whole world in your hand.

This hour, On Point: Google, on the loose -- and talk of revolution
on your cellphone.

Guests

* Kevin Delaney, reporter for the Wall Street Journal. He covers
Google for the newspaper.

* Rob Pegoraro, Consumer Technology Columnist for the Washington Post

* R. Ravi, associate dean of Intellectual Strategy at Carnegie
Mellon's Tepper School of Business and professor of computer science

How "rich and deep" a Web experience can be delivered by a device small
enough to be a personal accessory and held in one hand?

Man-o-man I sure do smell marketeer snake oil here!

Will Google wind up buying Sprint? I can't see how they could make an
ad-supported phone service work unless they own the phone company.
