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.

CompanionLink Software the First to Introduce Two-Way Synchronization With Google Android Phones

CompanionLink Software, a company specialised in mobile synchronization solutions, introduces two-way data synchronization with the T-Mobile G1 — the first Google Android phone. CompanionLink’s products support synchronization of contacts, calendar, and tasks between popular desktop contact management software and Google Android phones. CompanionLink for Google Android works seamlessly with Google’s web-based services and the Google Android platform.

Motorola To Hire 300 Android Developers

ruphus13 writes "Google's Android is starting to see more industry support. Motorola recently announced plans, despite hardships within the company, to hire 300 Android developers. Quoting: 'A quick search of Motorola's job openings suggests that, indeed, Android is set to become a permanent fixture at Motorola, which has long built Linux-based phones but hitherto used MontaVista's Mobilinux. The goal? Move from an internal development pool of 50 Android-savvy developers to 350. Motorola, recognizing that most developers won't have deep experience with Google Android, is looking for a somewhat general skillset ... Java and Google Android programming experience is listed as "highly desirable," but not required.'" T-Mobile has already made plans to use Android as well.

Google's Android Opens Up; What's Next?

The Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Android platform is officially free and available by making it available to the open-source community. Google pledged to open it up once the first phone was off the ground, and it has held to its promise, as T-Mobile USA gears up to launch the G1 in stores tomorrow. The Open Handset Alliance, which oversees the Google Android operating system, made the announcement today. But the big question now, is what’s next? In a blog post, Android wrote: “You’ll be hearing a lot about Android devices....But one device is just the beginning...This is an exciting time for Android, and we’re just getting started. It takes a lot of work to keep up with the changes in the mobile industry. But we want to do more than just keep up; we want to lead the way, to try things out, to add the new features that everyone else is scra

Google Opens Up Android Codebase

rsk writes "It's official: Google has Open Sourced Android. The source code can be downloaded from Android's Git repository. Bugs are handled at the Google Code Android project page with documentation being handled by a collection of Google Site pages. One of the more interesting aspects of Android seems to be the seemingly Eclipse Foundation-like organization of the project, welcoming both Individual and Commercial developers into the Android development pot. One of the benefits of this arrangement is securing the existence of the project by involving commercial interests and their money in the process ... this is also one of the downsides; having commercial entities charter and lead features of a platform that their own commercial offerings provide 'enhanced' versions of, sometimes leaving the free offering always lacking in one obvious

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

Google in Attack.

The web is crazy! A new war has just starts. A browser war, a clash of the titans, Google and Microsoft, the battle of the browsers. Finally, Google has unveiled their very own web browser they called it Chrome. It designed to take on Industry leading Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and also one time Google web allies Mozilla ( Goodbye Mozilla.). With chrome Google has just declared war not just on Microsoft but also to the Mozilla folks. Google is known to support open source community and Mozilla is one of those but the games has changed Google got no choice but to drop Mozilla.The competition has just started to get hotter. What exactly Google wants here? World domination? Google got greedy here. First they got Google Apps to take on Microsoft Office then they unveiled Chrome to take on Microsoft internet Explorer.

Google Android and Chrome: Pay No Attention to the Robot Behind the Curtain

Google has recently announced major initiatives that take them beyond their historical base in Web search and ad delivery. Google's Android mobile operating system and application development platform have generated significant media coverage and industry buzz. Google Chrome, their new Web browser, recently entered a very public beta test phase, and Google's App Engine and Google Gears have created much interest among Web developers. Are these projects that consume huge development resources part of a misguided effort to dethrone Microsoft's desktop hegemony? Is Google losing their focus on search and ad delivery as a result? Or is there more here than meets the eye?

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. G1 features include on-device sensors, an application store, called Android Market, similar to the App Store on the Apple iPhone and embedded Google applications.

Running Google Android On IPhone Clones

wooby writes "With the release of Android's source code, we may see iPhone and Nokia clone phones of Chinese origin capable of running Google Android. These phones, often available for less than $200 without a contract, are available on DealExtreme and elsewhere. But the software running on them is universally awful. Is the clone phone market a vast, nascent install-base for Android, and part of Google's end game? According to Google's Dave Bort [YouTube link], 'One of our goals would be, just to get Android all over the place.'"

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.

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.
