Almost every major announcement in Barcelona is set to be based around Google’s Android platform. Only Nokia and Microsoft are set to make major mobile products that are not Android and their market share remains miniature. Many analysts are starting to sense tensions between operators and the company that makes the software. With Google’s takeover of Motorola now passed by regulators around the world, it seems likely that there will be increasing talk that Google will take the Apple route and start making the hardware and the software. Executive chairman Eric Scmidt is set to give a much-anticipated keynote – Ben Wood, of CCS Insight, says simply: “Any mention of this will be conspicuously absent from the presentation by Schmidt”. Ironically, Apple will not be worried if Google starts to make its own devices.
