Android And The Google Phone
Google recently acquired Jaiku, a Finnish business, who reserved a number of Short Message Service Patents (SMS), that is the technology that enables the exchanging of brief messages between cell phones.
Google currently holds a 29 percent portion of the US market above 16% to Yahoo according to internet marketing research business eMarketer, and would want nothing more than to master the mobile device market such as mobile phones, Blackberries and more, including their own GPhone. After this news Google’s stock rose to a huge $600 per share recently, reflecting that Google’s net profit may climb to as steep as fifty percent over last year’s numbers.
In the beginning of November that expectation was shot down as Google, along with an alliance of mobile phone-related reverse cell phone directory businesses, expressed its cellular phone design was not for one handset. Instead, the business is planning to produce a platform, or operating system, that will grant wider functionality to all mobile telephones. The establishment of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), that includes such industry behemoths such as Motorola, T-Mobile, Samsung and O2’s parent Telephonica, is gathering to support Google’s venture, called Android.
Android is determined to be the next multi-platform mobile software system that is able to run on several different handsets. It desires to bring not merely an operating system but also middleware and key applications. Legions of Google’s most popular applications like GMail and Google Maps already have mobile versions phone owners can run through Java. Android intends to create applications like this more operational on cell phones but also to provide a fuller internet experience on the go.
For those unfortunate people who are simply incapable of writing something in Java (the Android programming language), one of the substantial number of other handsets that are on hand will suffice, since there will nonetheless be a wide assortment of features to keep one running.
