Jkabaseball scooped this story up before I could (kudos to him) and it is here on SEO Chat. Android is another piece of software -- a platform really -- that Google is hoping will catch on in terms of mobile web browsing. For now, the telecoms are leery, but Google is a little like the bull in the china shop - you ignore them at your own peril. A lot of what I will say in this article has already been hashed by jkabaseball, so you should check out his article (if you have not already).
Android will close down a problem, a big problem that the Apple iPhone did not solve, which is opening software to third party applications. Right now, the iPhone is a black box and is closed to third party applications. Android is based on Linux and will be open source. Companies that may jump on Android's back include Research in Motion. Android should increase the ease of use and the versatility of mobile web search.
Although mobile devices and the networks that support them are improving, it seems like the mobile Web is almost a secret these days because sites can be hard to locate and have little content when you find them. the .mobi team
.mobi
This platform deserves its own article. It should still be researched, but this works to ensure that existing websites can make themselves viewable by current technology on phones. The company, whose website can be found at mtld.mobi, gives domain name registration to the .mobi domain and enables you to build websites that can easily be viewed from any mobile device. This still gives website owners the problem of creating two sites instead of one, but at least website owners have a choice. Most websites that are heaven on an iPhone are miserable on (dare I say it) the Vonage Voyager (or any other "smart phone").
The company (nicknamed dotmobi) gives tools that allow firms to build mobile accessible websites. Quite a number of major companies have obtained top level dotmobi domain names. SEO has become more important than ever with all the devices that will be used to search for things online and all the search revenue to be had. More than ever, old approaches have to be tested to check their compatibility with new technology.
