Google June 3 purchased startup Invite Media, sparking concerns from ad experts, who believe Google is gobbling up too much of the online display ad supply chain.

Why seed the Android 2.1-based Apple iPhone challenger to Google employees, with some of them leaking photos and giving gadget geeks opportunities to play with the phone, and then only selectively offer it? It’s certainly not wise at a time when customers continue to weigh Android devices such as the Motorola Droid versus the iPhone. The market has not yet matured to the point where most consumers are strictly looking for the next Android or iPhone without mulling a device from the other company.

EWEEK has already explored the idea
