Google Says Desktop Pc’s will be Irrelevant in the Future


Speaking at the Digital Landscapes conference at UCD, European director of Google’s online sales John Herlihy said that Google is mostly oriented towards mobile devices, claiming they’ll become more important than desktop PCs.

“In three years time, desktops will be irrelevant. In Japan, most research is done today on smart phones, not PCs,” he said.

True, with Android and Nexus One Google has shown a commitment to extend its dominance from the online world to the mobile world. But will desktop PCs really become irrelevant? Depends on how you look at it. Google isn’t really interested in how we edit our photos; it’s interested in where we store them, and increasingly, we do that at a place is a part of their domain – the cloud.

And if your data moves to the cloud, and most of your daily online activities are done on devices such as the Nexus One and the iPad, where simple, widget-style applications cater to your precise needs, then yes, desktop PCs as we know them now will become a lot less important.

    Hi,
    I’ve been doing a lot of research online lately regarding online promotion and Search Engine Optimization since I just started an Thai online shop with a couple of buddies.
    The information offered on your site would be of great value to GetSiam visitors, and I believe, your visitors would find great value in our site. Because our two websites are complementary rather than competitive, I see synergy here as an opportunity for our mutual benefit and I’d really like to exchange links with your website. Have a look at our site if you want, we put a lot of work and effort into it and are dedicated to improve it constantly.
    We receive a lot of hits already (contact me for visitor stats) and I think both our sites can benefit from one another.
    Anyway, just thought I’d share my thoughts with you – keep up the good work and get back to me if interested!

  • Your submit is quite great, most from the time when I check out information sites they are complete crap plus the posts are written purely for look for engine site visitors. But inside your situation that is incredibly excellent, straightforward and straightforward.

  • Great posting, Thanks for very useful information

  • Lalsaltenda says:

    I risk to seem the layman, but nevertheless I will ask, whence it and who in general has written?

  • Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  • What a wonderful article. I intend to make your blog part of my daily reading.

  • Nice finding here… wasnt’ aware of that a blog on this topic existed, thanks admin.

  • Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
