As we now know that Nokia, the leader in phone market who is facing tough times in holding its market place, join hands with Microsoft's Windows 7 Mobile, expects to increase hold on phone market.
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google said, Google tried hard to win Nokia over to its Android mobile platform before Nokia decided to throw its lot in with Microsoft.
"We would have loved if they had chosen Android. They chose the other guys," Schmidt said during a keynote speech at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
He later told journalists: "We had confidential negotiations with Nokia that were very extensive."
Google is wooing the mobile industry in part because it needs operators to invest in fast and powerful networks to enable Google services such as maps, voice-activated search or the sharing of video on YouTube.
Schmidt said 35 hours of video were now being uploaded to YouTube every minute, with more than 2 billion views per day -- increasingly from mobile devices.
