Google Kicks Off Phone War With Apple: related news

Google Android: The dude? Or big dud?

Today's the day Android strutted its stuff to the world. Is Android the game-changer for the SmartPhone industry, a real contender to the iPhone or just another cell phone OS? It's definitely not just another cell phone OS, as evidenced by all the attention around today's launch. Google has technology that other phones use but Google Android will exploit. Google search, of course is the 800-pound gorilla in search. Add Google maps (including a compass feature Google demonstrated in the T-Mobile [HTC] G1 phone), Google Webkit and the Chrome Web browser (a Chrome Lite comes on Android), Google Talk, YouTube, Google Apps, and so forth. This has allowed Google to layer in a single sign-on for all Google apps, and Android syncs data with your Google account for contacts, calendar, chat and likely other applications in the future.

Apple Building Search Engine To Clobber Google, TechCrunch Hears

stevejobs.jpg* Apple building search engine, TechCrunch hears. "We’ve received multiple (if thin) reports that Apple is working on a search engine of some sort. At first glance, the rumors make sense. Apple’s Safari browser has 6-7% market share, and currently uses Google as the search engine for both the standard and iPhone/iPod versions (unlike other browsers, you don’t have a choice)... Also, Apple can’t be super pleased with Google’s competition to the iPhone with Android... But one important fact that isn’t checking out - if Apple were building a search engine, they’d be hiring search experts and engineers. We’ve talked to a ton of them at all the big companies, and while some of them heard the same rumors, none have lost search employees to Apple, or heard of any specific hirings.

Google Now Allows Sites to Serve Content to Them While Showing a Registration Box to Non-Google Users

There once was a time when Google search tried to be a neutral bystander, watching the web without getting too actively involved. There once was a time when Google instructed webmasters to serve their Googlebot the same thing served to a site’s human users. Now, Google is officially telling webmasters they can serve one thing to people coming from Google web search, and another thing to people coming from elsewhere. Think of it as Google now offering publishers to hand Google a special key to the publisher’s content. Google calls this “first click free� and they say they do this in order “to help users find and access content that may require registration or a subscription�, to “include highly relevant content in Google’s search index� and to “to provide a promotion and discovery opportunity for publishers with restric

The iPhone vs. Google Phone: No Contest

Recently, I stopped by a local T-Mobile store, the home of the new G1 phone. This is the so-called Google phone, the mobile device with Google's Android operating system. Many in the press have anointed the Google phone as a potential "iPhone killer." That is, a device capable of knocking the iPhone off its pedestal as the most desirable and most well-reviewed smartphone on the market. While the iPhone is not yet the overall leader in sales, it's moving along here as well; latest reports show that the iPhone has surpassed RIM's Blackberry to reach second place in smartphone rankings (and an even more recent report has the iPhone as the #1 U.S. consumer phone, besting even Motorola's RAZR).

Borders.com Goes Live with Google Preview

Borders has enabled Google Preview on their site. Google Preview, unveiled in September, is a widget-like tool that allows retailers or anyone handy with Web site code to embed a preview of 20% of any book in Google’s database onto their site. Borders joins Books-A-Million and the U.K. retailer Blackwell Bookshop in using the service. The deal between Google and its retail partners stipulates that retailers will enable Google Preview for any book being sold that is also available in Google’s database, in exchange for an enhanced version of the Preview software. The big advantage for retailers of Google Preview is that it allows consumers to brows books scanned by Google without leaving the retailer’s Web site.

Google and T-Mobile Launch the Android Phone G1

Google and T-Mobile show off the new Google Android smartphone, the G1, at a massive New York press conference.

T-Mobile and Google executives, including Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, also discuss the G1's features and applications.

Could You Google Bomb Google Flu?

Google got a lot of attention recently for the launch of Google Flu Trends, which looks at aggregate data on searches related to the flu, to see if it can act as something of an early warning system for where there are flu problems. It's an interesting use of the data, and it will be worth watching what else can be done with this sort of data over time. However, Ed Felten raises an interesting question: can Google Flu Trends be manipulated? The idea is that, right now, it may be accurate, but the very fact that people know Google is tracking this information, could create incentives to game that info -- in the same way people have tried gaming Google in other ways for years, using tricks such as Google bombing. While you might not think there would be that many reasons to manipulate Google Flu Trends, there could be reasons to do so.

Google phone takes a bite from Apple

ere it is, after all the hype: the Google phone. Well, as close as we'll get, anyway. The first phone in the world to be running Google's Android software, packaged up in a chassis made by HTC (High Tech Computer), and lovingly brought to market by T-Mobile. The 3.5-inch touchscreen is more responsive than many, allowing you to enjoy the nifty interface, with its movable icons, easy-to-access menus and slick messaging applications. Competition for iPhone? Well, yes - with a great web browser, 3G and the potential for great applications from Android Marketplace, it bodes well. Those looking for a hardware keyboard Apple alternative should be queuing up to road test it.

Google releases Google Earth for Apple iPhone and iPod touch (with video tour)

"Even before we introduced Google Earth back in 2005, the team had long dreamed of being able to carry the Earth around in your pocket. Well, today that dream becomes a reality as we introduce Google Earth for iPhone and iPod touch. With just a swipe of your finger you can fly from Peoria to Paris to Papua New Guinea, or anywhere in between. It may be small, but it brings all the power of Google Earth to the palm of your hand, including all of the same global imagery and 3D terrain. You can even browse any of our 8 million Panoramio photos or read Wikipedia articles," Peter Birch, Google Earth Product Manager, reports for The Official Google Blog.

Apple Not Accepting Opera Mini on iPhone.

IconAn interesting NYT Bits blog entry covers Opera's mobile browser. Buried in the middle of the article is this quote: "Opera's engineers have developed a version of Opera Mini that can run on an Apple iPhone, but Apple won't let the company release it because it competes with Apple's own Safari browser." It also talks about Opera on the Wii and browsers in cars. A good read. My Take: But back to the iPhone. As tempted as I am to just shrug it off, since Apple is free to run its App Store any way it pleases, as an enthusiastic iPhone user, I think Apple is shooting itself in the foot here, as it is with all the "competitive" apps being rejected. Apple does stand to lose some Google revenue by letting people use other browsers, but they have much more to gain by unleashing the creativity of the developer community and giving them the fre

Google voice search coming t...

According to the New Your Times, Google and Apple are about to release a new application to provide voice searching on the iPhone. Google researchers have added sophisticated voice recognition technology to the company’s search software for the Apple iPhone. Users of the free application, which Apple is expected to make available as soon as Friday through its iTunes store, can place the phone to their ear and ask virtually any question, like “Where’s the nearest Starbucks?” or “How tall is Mount Everest?” The sound is converted to a digital file and sent to Google’s servers, which try to determine the words spoken and pass them along to the Google search engine. The search results, which may be displayed in just seconds on a fast wireless network, will at times include local information, taking advantage of iPhone features that let it det

Yahoo- Google inc. : A threat to Microsoft?

Yahoo, a major prize for Goliaths such as Google and Microsoft that wants to build a web empire with a major audience, sizable revenues, and good brand. By making a deal to Yahoo, Google gets a vastly bigger audience to go with its formidable resources. Google won’t be able to bid for Yahoo because of antitrust concerns. Yahoo has already surrendered some of its advertising space to search leader Google. The deal will allows running Google ads on yahoo search result pages. Google ad partnership with Yahoo could boost revenue and extend its online reach, making it the sole master of online advertising. Does Google deserve Yahoo? Google ad partnership with Yahoo would keep Yahoo out of Microsoft sight. Yahoo so desperate to stay away from Microsoft.
