A mobile operating system

With the launch of Android OS, Google took on Apple’s iPhone

Free, open sourced and involves a huge investment

Mobile advertising expected to become significant in the future

Google is trying to get ahead of the curve with these initiatives

The general perception among Android users is that they get higher value at a cheaper cost

Apple’s slogan “If it’s not an iPhone, it is not an iPhone” in its advertising campaign indirectly targets Android stating that Android can’t give as much value and pride as owning an iPhone can

The rivalry among the respective users is also prominent!

The slogan of Google changed from “Don’t be evil” to “Do the right thing”!

It has started competing in new sectors and is taking on the leaders in those respective sectors

Targets Microsoft customers with Cloud Computing and Apple’s customers with Android OS

Google is dominant when it comes to search engines with an 89 percent market share globally.

Has a strong R&D team to explore new avenues and come up with ideas for whatever needs the people face

The brand has been established globally and the brand equity is so high that a lot of people are ready to try whatever new products they come up with

So Google is doing the right thing by exploring new avenues and taking on the leaders in those sectors since it has the team to back it up

YES ABSOLUTELY!

Google has been ever expanding and has come up with a huge number of products most of which have been successful.

It is right in exploring new sectors and taking on the leaders in those respective sectors since it has an established fortress and the brand equity to do so.

Google’s cloud computing is the next big thing Google has come up with!
