Android And The Google Phone

Google recently acquired Jaiku, a Finnish business, that reserved various Short Message Service (SMS) Patents, which is the technology that allows for the exchanging of brief messages between cellular telephones.

Google currently has a 29% share of the US market above 16% to Yahoo according to internet marketing research firm eMarketer, and would wish nothing more than to control the mobile device market such as mobile telephones, Blackberries and more, including their own GPhone. After this news Google's stock rose to a humongous $600 per share recently, reflecting that Google's earnings may rise to as steep as 50 percent over last year's numbers.

In late November this anticipation was broken as Google, along with a coalition of cellular phone-related reverse cell phone directory business organizations, announced its cell telephone project was not for one handset. Instead, the business is planning to produce a platform, or operating system, that will allow bigger functionality to all mobile phones. The formation of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), which has such industry heavyweights such as Samsung, Motorola, T-Mobile and O2's parent Telephonica, is getting together to endorse Google's venture, named Android.

Android is positioned to be the future multi-platform cell phone software system that is capable of functioning on numerous different handsets. It promises to bestow not only an operating system but also middleware and key applications. Several of Google's most common applications like GMail and Google Maps already have mobile translations telephone owners can extend through Java. Android intends to produce applications like this more useful on cell telephones but also to supply a richer internet experience as well.

For those poor few who are just incapable of coding anything in Java (the Android programming language), one of the plethora of other handsets that are in stock will suffice, as there would nonetheless be a big mixture of features to keep one going.
