Google Android phone will be in New York next week

Next week, we will have new mobile phone that already equipped with Android technology from Google. Do you still remember those ten months ago, Google has been explained that they would launch the open source platform Android? Now we can have it in only in few days. According to New York Times information, next September 23, this new mobile phone will be launched to the market.

As New York Times said that next week this new mobile phone will be introduced in New York, T-Mobile is the first company that can use this mobile phone. HTC Dream is the name of this new mobile phone.

May be not many of you understand and know about this new mobile phone. What is Android? This is common question that will ask. Android is an open source platform that based from Linux. In this platform, there will be operation system, middleware and some more key application for mobile phone. The reason to produce this new platform is that to make the mobile phone users feel the same experience with the computer users when they are accessing Internet. This is very good reason, because for so long we already blocked with the capability of our mobile phone when we accessing Internet. Sometimes the page is too large and we cannot open the website. May be with this new mobile phone technology, we won’t get that terrible experience.

This is an open source platform, so the users can be easily access many things from Internet and also installing and download any application from many networks. This is very new in our world, so there will be few applications that already available now. But, don’t worry with that. Before this mobile phone launched, you can find the application first, because Google has been awarded the best software development company that can provide useful software fro this platform. Based on the rumors, this new mobile phone will be priced $199. With this price, that similar to iPhone, I think it can be the hardest rival.

Google Chrome, Web Browser from Google

Apparently, the internet service rivalry between Microsoft and Google is not over yet. After Microsoft released the Internet Explorer 8 version 2, Google revealed that they have developed a web browser that will be able to be downloaded for free in the internet. After trying to dominate the document processing application market with the Google Docs that accessible online, Google is also limiting the domination of Internet Explorer by supporting Firefox web browser from Mozilla. Mozilla also set the Google search engine on the official page and Google will share the output from advertisement.

Google use a unique way to introduce this web browser to the internet community with comic to explain anything about the browser in a simple and clear explanation. This web browser was available to be downloaded for computers with Windows as the operation system since September 2nd and Google said that they still working on the other version that will be available for Macintosh operation system from Apple and Linux.According to the official blog written by Google’s dignitary, Chrome is claimed to be a better web browser that offer better access to various kind of multimedia materials. It will be faster and more comfortable with the advantage of multi process service from JavaScript. It also has web-based feature to open the application without toolbar and address bar that will prevent phising and web data stealing.

Even though the other service from Google such as Gtalk and Gmail is not really success, this web browser will be better than the rivals. It has more choices and innovations that make it possible to build the application easier with the open source platform that will be flexible to be developed on the community. Those advantages even might bring Chrome out as a new rival for Firefox whereas they still have a cooperation contract until 2011.

GoogleApparently, people enjoy stalking themselves and each other using the power of Google. A recent study concludes that 47% of internet users have “Googled” themselves at one point in time to research themselves. A larger percentage of people have used Google to find information about other people. The group that did the study, called “The Pew Internet and American Life Project”, was surprised that this number was not higher. After all, who hasn’t felt the urge to put their name into Google to see what comes up?

The study also concluded that some 60% of people are not worried about the personal information that can be found about them online. Most of the people who were found to Google themselves more often were less than 50 years old, or had careers that required a powerful online persona.

Google Releases iPhone Web App

iphoneGoogle on Wednesday announced the release of a new interface to enable iPhone users to navigate Google’s various services through a unified interface.

When iPhone users visit the Google site using the Safari browser on their iPhone, they’ll find a navigation bar that lets them switch between Google Search, Gmail, Calendar, Reader and other services.

Google says they’re using browser technologies like Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX) to accomplish the feat. iPhone users are redirected to a different URL — http://www.google.com/m — when they first visit the site. Users can opt for the new interface or for the “classic” view using a hyperlink on the home page.

Google Gmail Integrates AOL’s AIM

Google has integrated AOL’s popular AIM instant-messaging service into its Gmail Web-based e-mail client, the company announced on Tuesday.

Gmail has had its own chat service since February 2006, but now Gmail users will be able to connect to AIM through a drop-down menu on the Gmail Web page, Google said. Gmail users can sign into AIM through the “set status here” menu, Google said. AIM contacts and Gmail chat will appear on the same menu.

Google said it was rolling out the new feature on the English version of Gmail on Tuesday. AIM access will be available on other language versions of Gmail soon, the company said.

“We’re always looking for new and useful ways to help our users connect with friends, family, and coworkers,” Google said in a statement.

The ability to connect to AIM through Gmail is a “very big deal,” said Michael Osterman, founder of messaging analysis firm Osterman Research. About 75 percent of people who use IM in business settings use AIM or the AIM enterprise product, he said.

Now, when people are using Gmail, they can see if the people they’re sending e-mail to are available for live chat on AIM instead, he said. “You’ve been given another option for communicating with people,” he said. “It’s one more way to talk to them.”

Gmail users can keep a history of chats and e-mails together in so-called conversation threads.
