In all this time what has google created?.....Adwords. That's it, 98% of their income comes from that. They've never created anything else other than beta this and beta that. And in reality, they didn't even invent PPC, they just made it better.

I don't understand why people are so confident in Google, they have a very limited track record. Apple has been around forever, Microsoft has been around forever. Yet people seem to think Google will topple them both.
Everyone keeps referring to this like it's Google and only Google. Here's the list of just some of companies involved in this project:

Google
China Mobile
Sprint Nextel
T-Mobile
NTT DoCoMo
Qualcomm
Broadcomm
Texas Instruments
Synaptics
Nvidia
HTC
LG
Samsung
Motorola
eBay - Skype

...and a bunch more. This is much bigger than iPhone. Give it some time. You'll see.
