Review: I agree with Freaky. Especially in Japan, operators are gods who basically control the market. It seems like Google's strategy in Japan is to work closely with operators, so they have a chance for success. Wise strategic move from Google.

Review: Google will struggle with a model that recognizes the walled garden of the mobile operator. The mobile operators will have their own search engine on the top of the deck and it will have integration with other operator platforms such as LBS. Google needs to move fast to partner with these operators before the game is over
