Special Google-enabled phones on the way
Motorola plans to enable users of its mobile phones to access Google's internet search engine at the touch of a single handset button, Writes BBC News.
Mobile operators have struggled to boost revenue from services which allow phone users to surf the web. But Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said he believed most people would in the future access the internet using their mobile phones. "People are going to spend all their time on it eventually," he said.
Motorola said it planned to launch special Google-enabled phones later this year.
Eventually the company plans to embed Google technology in all of its future phones. "We're convinced that having a great experience on the handsets not only helps us sell more handsets but also enables us to command a higher average selling price," said Motorola's corporate vice-president Scott Durchslag.
