Why working for google would suck
I’m sure working for Google has its perks, but one thing I can think of that would sway my choice of employment would be the G phone. Their new open source OS running on some other phone. Can you imagine the pressure? What kind of pressure would those employees be under to not use an iPhone if that’s what they liked? That would be like the whole iPod on the Microsoft campus fiasco. Amnesty bins and all.
I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t be able to switch to the G phone after experiencing the fluidity (touchscreen is not multi-touch) of the UI and tight synchronization of all my software and data that I have become accustomed to with my iPhone. That would be taking a giant leap backwards in technology and convenience just to have the “company” phone. I wouldn’t do it. I’d quit first. I feel sorry for anyone who would be in that predicament.
