Their Google Android platform is maturing and growing up, it’s starting to go from crawling to walking, and the more mature phone platforms, such as Apple’s, are starting to shiver. Because of its stability now third party developers are starting to take interest and join, like Sybase. With their database skills and their infrastructure, should this go beyond verbal, they could provide the means for massive content distribution and other features for data storage that other mobile phone’s have yet to strike into. Their entire operation can provide efficient means for mobile phone based payments and also development of new applications, they can provide for the business model and the personal user model. The Google Android platform from the OHA could become the next playground for Sybase – and that’s a good thing.

Rather than AT&T joining the OHA, they’d rather sit on the fence with a giant pair of binoculars and try to see what it could mean for them – and their bottom line. Verizon? Well, pretty much the same thing – except they can’t afford the same binoculars. They’re using their hands pretending they’re a pair. Meanwhile the T-Mobile and sinking-fast Sprint have jumped on the OHA bandwagon in an attempt to save themselves – and they very well might do so. Seeing how mobile phones will change with this new platform, and the expanded features it will offer, the iPhone’s dominance may succumb to the Dream Phone. In the meantime AT&T will sit on its deal with Apple, and pray to the phone gods that they don’t get blasted to the wayside.
