Google Inc. is most famous for running the world's largest search engine: google.com. However, the company also offers email, productivity applications, a social network, video sharing, web analytics, and more. Google's stated goal "is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." (From Google's website)
As of August 2009, Google's sites reach over 80% of Internet users in the United States (Do You Yahoo? Probably). Most of the company's revenue comes through its AdWords service, which allows businesses to advertise in Google's search results, on certain Google websites, and on websites using Google's AdSense service.
Google is well known in the Internet advertising industry for having some of the highest margins. Its ability to show the right ad to the right person and maximize revenue per visitor far exceeds that of competitors such as Yahoo and Microsoft.

I recently start to use Google Chrome and Gmail and impressed by its user-friendly functionalities. My default web-browser became Chrome and I open the IE (Internet Explorer) 7 less often.
However, I assume that Google will have tough time to attract the Corporate client since there must be enornomous switchin cost if the corporate chooses Google's Chrome operating systems instead of Windows.

Google is a dominant player in the Internet. The Internet search engine (Google), email service (Gmail), Mobile operating software (Android) and Web-brower (Chrome) and now PC operating system (http://www.cebuya.com/topic/articles/2438)? What will be the Google's next strategic move? Google is heavily investing to find the alternative/renewable energies while the market speculates Google will eventually foray the hardware markets including smartphone and e-reader. So Google-phone within few years? Give me a break!

Will we have a Google-phone within a few years? Give me a break!
