atomic object and google
Google is quite simply running circles around the iPhone with Android's open marketplace, that is not encumbered by rules and regulations that seem to be punitive to developers, even if it still commands the majority of the smart phone market. Android is on the way to replacing iPhone for popularity, as the HTC phones have shown. Chrome OS will hit Windows squarely, as it will be a free alternative, which will drive down hardware costs, and still offer the web features that make Google the most valued property on the Internet, where all of AO's emphasis should be, with the Google division. There might be some business down the road for embedded work in televisions, and the like, but first got to get up-to-speed on Chrome OS, as well as Android. Wave and Buzz are nice things to look in to, as well, as businesses need lower cost solutions, that only Google is delivering, at the moment.
Coming off the successes with the iPhone app for Priority Health and the Blue Medora initative, Atomic Object (AO) needs to double-down and be the first vendor in the area preparing for Google Fiber, by investing in a division constituting Google developers. This would include developing for Wave, Buzz, and Android, as well as tying in the Apps API to build an application for the Apps Marketplace, that allows businesses to download specific functionality. I don't know what that functionality should be, that would have to be taken in to consideration based upon market factors, that only AO is seeing in their accounts, and build from there. Make it an add-on feature to future deals, and offer to help clients get on Google Apps, and build the expertise in-house to be able to expand when Google Fiber comes to Grand Rapids. Its a calculated risk.

Build in expertise, next, with Guice and WebToolKit, and even Go or AJAX, to be in the cloud for Google development, this could be an out-branch of the Blue Medora division, or company, whatever it turns out to be, but build for the Google Cloud, through App Engine, and allow easy to use tools for customers to move to the cloud, and watch as they hire AO to do cloud management, at a monthly rate, so there is subscription, steady revenue. The Google division would pay for itself.
