IDG News Service reports that Google will make a special announcement also tomorrow:

Although Google has declined to comment for months on its rumored move into the mobile space, sources said the company will make an announcement Monday at 11 a.m. ET, and that details of the plan are being finalized this weekend.

Google will announce an open source development platform for mobile applications that will contain a full set of components, including an operating system, a set of common APIs, a middleware layer, a customizable user interface and even a mobile browser, sources said. Instant messaging standard protocols will also be supported.

Google’s entry to the mobile applications world is a good boost to consumers. It will spur competition and hopefully make available more models that are also more affordable, easier to use and more useful. Maiiwan na yata talaga ang Palm sa kangkungan! Nakakainis!
