Why did Google enter the mobile phone business again?

Here’s why. Google is now offering their Adsense clients advertising on the iPhone and G1 phones. Here’s the short version of what happened in the last two years:
- Google noticed a trend: more people were starting to access the internet from their mobile phones
- But there were no mobile phones that could display their ads
- So they helped to develop such a phone
- And now they offer ads targeted at these phones
I’m sure these ads will be priced a bit higher than average as well: if you can afford to browse the internet on your smartphone, you are an interesting demographic for advertisers.
