Google phone in India?

Google plans to release its much hyped Google phone next year, but ever since the news broke out, speculations have been running wild in the market. As we all know, Google has approached all the major carriers in the US and Europe to partner in its Google phone venture and now it has taken one step further and gone out to India, which is considered the most lucrative cell phone market in the world.

According to sources, Google has been negotiating with Airtel and Vodafone Essar, India’s first and third largest carriers. Indian cell phone market is still unexplored to a large extent and add it to the fact that India right now has the largest teenage population in the world, you get the perfect recipe for a potential customer base. Actually, this news is significantly important due to a reason. Apple IPhone has not entered the fastest growing cell phone market in the world, (that is India, for those of you who don’t know) and this could be a tremendous advantage for Google. If it can release its phone simultaneously in the US, Europe, and Asia, then it can very well compete with the IPhone in India. Apple IPhone is expected to hit the Indian market next year and if Google can release its phone just about the same time, we can sure as hell expect both of them to lock horns. Also, unlike in the US or Europe, Apple is not that big a brand in India and Google can easily grab a huge market share if it can come up with a good marketing strategy.

If you have not got an IPhone yet, would you wait for the Google phone to hit the market? Would you prefer Google phone with lots of ads as opposed to Apple IPhone?
