Analyst: Google Phone Won’t Ding Apple’s IPhone
BroadPoint AmTech analyst Mark McKechnie said a Google smartphone made by one vendor would be preferable to devices that pair hardware from Motorola, HTC and others with software and services from Google. The analyst said a Google phone would be a fine growth opportunity for the search engine as it seeks to extend its tendrils on the mobile Internet. Apple, by virtue of its singular choke point for hardware, applications and services, is best positioned to weather any Google phone attack. Mckechnie expects 37.3 million iPhones will be sold worldwide in 2010, and said Apple could double its market share within a few years.
