D3 - Devise Design Develop

There’s been much speculation on whether or not there’s going to be a Google browser coming. More important still is the talk of what this would do to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox and other popular browsers in use today. The only clear-cut indication we’ve seen so far is that the domain gbrowser.com was registered in ‘04 by Google Inc. So could this be yet another attack waged by Google to maintain their grip on our day to day internet use? We all remember the gMail phenomenon, select few people were extended invitations to open accounts and they, in turn, were allowed to invite 6 people themselves to the new service. The exclusivity of this new mail system along with the massive storage space made gMail a permanent fixture in the free email world. With the same naming structure, it’s our belief that Googles rumored gBrowser would be yet another offensive on their competitors and a step closer for them to becoming another powerhouse. All this competition, however, has provided nothing but good results for us the consumers. The competition has forced other rival companies, namely Yahoo! and MSN to step up their efforts and provide comparable services. With all their successes in the past I don’t doubt Google could pull this off, they’d have stiff competition especially with Firefox’s rising popularity but only time will tell what the outcome of such a release would be.
