How the Smartphone Could Disrupt Business

How the Smartphone Could Disrupt Business Om Malik: We make computing very personal with this device like whether it's this or any one of the other smartphones. How do you think that disrupts the market at large, in a sense how does it disrupt industries at large whether it's you know we've seen the music industry get disrupted but what are the other industries, like you know freight services, airlines, do you think all these get completely disrupted and do you think that creates out there any new opportunities? Andy Rubin: Look you know in thinking about smartphones and the origin of smartphones and where this leads us to these devices that we're carrying around today that are effectively as powerful as our desktop PC was 5 years ago right? So this is Moore's law being applied to something that's very personal that you carry around with you 8,10,12 hours a day right? So in what industries does that matter? When it becomes personal, that leaves it up to the consumer to take it into the industry that he's in, so whether it's the enterprise, whether it's you know his school for some of the social aspects or for some of the youth applications. It's exactly what happened on the internet right? The internet is the destination. These devices are just another form of connectivity to the internet; it's a window into the world and let me tell you something I mean the internet cloud computing right there are things working on your behalf in the cloud while the device is in your pocket screen off. So that's the power of a network connected device, an operating system that reaches beyond the phone and into the cloud and gets you personally individually participating in the internet ecosystem. Om Malik: So what is Google's interest about in these devices? Is it just advertising related? You know a revenue stream or are you looking at something beyond that? Andy Rubin: The simple message for Google is what's good for the internet is good for Google so as long as, as long as the web moves forward and we have more people accessing the web and the services available to a broader base globally that's going to be good for Google's core business which of course is advertising.
