Gates Feels No Threat From Google Phone Software



Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, has rubbished aside reports Google’s forthcoming mobile phone software could be a threat or rival Microsoft mobile software.

Google, the world’s top Internet search engine, is planning to enter the mobile phone market with its own software and services as the Federal Communications Commission prepares to set the rules governing the auction of USD 15 billion dollars of public airwaves.

In a interview to a leading influential American newspaper, Gates said it was unlikely that Google would be able to make inroads into Microsoft's 10 per cent market share for mobile phone software.

"How many products, of all the Google products that have been introduced, how many of them are profit-making products?" he asked.

"They've introduced about 30 different products; they have one profit-making product. So, you're now making a prediction without ever seeing the software that they're going to have the world's best phone and it's going to be free?"

He also said, "The phone is becoming way more software intensive. And to be able to say that there's some challenge for us in the phone market when its becoming software intensive, I don't see that."
