Google’s own branded Nexus One is quietly creeping into more carrier partnerships, filling out the long tail by targeting those more obscure North American spectrum frequencies.
Web giant Google has been busy adding more ‘hero’ executives to its ranks as it prepares to really stake a claim in the mobile space.
All’s fair in love and war, and Motorola may owe its recent upswing to the Google-backed Android platform, but this week the resurgent handset vendor hopped into bed with Microsoft, to deploy Bing on Android devices.
It’s not been a good week for Google. The firm has attracted the attentions of European antitrust authorities, while executives in Italy have been indicted for breaching local privacy laws.
It’s unlikely that any senior Google executive will take very seriously Vodafone and Telefonica’s recent statements that they are thinking of charging search engines to use their networks.
No surprises here, but on Tuesday evening Google launched its own social network, capitalising on its existing Gmail user base and expanding mobile presence.
The much discussed ‘Google phone’ became a commercial reality at the beginning of the year, when the web giant unveiled the first of its own-brand devices – the Nexus One. The announcement raised a number of eyebrows and even more questions.
The Nexus One is Google’s first own brand Android device. It also serves as a showcase of what can be done by tightly integrating Google services with the hardware, giving us a glimpse of what the Android platform might be capable of in the future.
US companies Apple and Google have edged closer toward a head-to-head clash in the mobile industry with their respective announcements of mobile-ad-network purchases and Google’s handset launch this week. Mobile advertising has been put firmly back on the agenda, and the stage has been set for a fierce battle between the two California-based giants for dominance in the smartphone and mobile Web markets.
Never mind whether androids conjure electric sheep as they sleep, the Google-backed mobile phone platform has inspired some very big dreams indeed. Tech event CES always ensures the year starts off with a bang, drawing a big crowd. But the Informer finds Las Vegas no easier to stomach than its culinary equivalent (a big bowl of refined sugar with half a bottle of gin poured over it), which is the reason he’s holed up in snowy London watching the flurry of product announcements as they settle inches deep on the highways of the internet. That and the absence of a travel budget.
