Android 2.2Google wants to market Android OS on low-priced phones of Huawei and LG in countries like India & China, where Nokia is leading the mobile market. Its is also exploring ways for developers to make more money from applications, stepping up competition with Apple and Nokia.

Google has realized that the Asian market is huge and it can make huge money from here. Android OS is currently popular in the US & European countries. In Asia, mostly Nokia’s Symbian is in the light.

Andy Rubin, Vice President for Engineering at Google, said that: “The down-market opportunity is about to happen. It’s actually quite a revolution.”

Rubin explained that Google is making it easier for app developers to accept payments from within apps and also to sell subscriptions, in order to make more money from Android.

So, as the Android develops, Nokia will feel the most pressure.

About 2 weeks ago, at Google I/O, Android 2.2, Froyo was introduced by Gundotra. But, that was not all. Gundotra also announced a new section in the Android Market — Music. Much details about this new project were not disclosed at that time.

Googel Music

The name of the new service may have been found through a new logo that was hosted at Google’s server.

The logo was hosted here. But, it has been taken down by Google and now you’ll find there a 404 Error page.

Google Music will be an over the air service for Android devices — hear a song, purchase it, download it automatically to your Android device.

The service will make use of Google’s recently-acquired Simplify Media’s technology, offering a desktop app that will give you access to all DRM-free media on Android devices remotely, service similar to that of iTunes.

Google WaveGoogle Wave has completed 1 year in the industry. Last week, Google Wave opened registrations for all. In the start, there was major shortage of invites. Everyone wanted to try Wave. But, as people started getting invites, they realized that Wave doesn’t have much potential, as like Twitter has.

Google Wave however is still doing pretty well amongst the techies and folks who know how to make the most of it.

Google launches new Search Interface

by Admin on May 7, 2010

Google Buzz

Google released the next edition of Google Search to the public. There’s a navigation bar on the left hand side.

While we are constantly rolling out small changes and updates, today’s changes showcase the latest evolutions in our search technology, making it easier than ever to find exactly what you’re looking for.

-Official Google Blog

New Google Search

Also the homepage has new Google logo and change in fonts:

New Google Homepage

Search for a product, like “Levi’s jeans,” and the left side of the page will offer links to maps and Google’s comparison shopping engine.

For some searches, Google will also show a link to its “Wonder Wheel,” which users previously had to click a few times to find. That feature, which the company introduced last spring at its Searchology conference, offers a visual representation of related searches.

-The New York Times

The new interface has been launched globally in 37 languages. Google is also launching the mobile version concurrently for English interfaces in the United States.

Happy Searching.

-Mahesh.

Google launches Nexus One

by Admin on January 7, 2010

Google Buzz

Google launched Nexus One on January 5. Google will initially ship Nexus to US, UK, Singapore and Hong Kong. However, it’s expected that Google will ship the phone to other countries later this year.

nexus one

People in these 4 countries can have the phone ordered by courier with around $30 shipping charges. Note that Nexus One is a GSM phone, and so, obviously in the US, it won’t support Verizon Wireless’ CDMA service nor AT & T’s 3G network; however HTC is expected to release Verizon compatible version later this year.

Currently, an unlocked Nexus One is available for nearly $530 with added cost of a country-specific AC adapter and shipping charges. The subsidized version of the phone is available only in US under a 2-year T-Mobile contract, priced at $180 (plus some additional). Outside US, customers still have to go for a full $530 unlocked Nexus One. The wait for European customers however, ends in spring, when the subsidized Nexus One would hit Vodafone Europe.

The Nexus One uses Android open source mobile operating system.

You can check the technical specs of the phone here.

Google will now crawl pages via RSS Feeds

by Admin on October 31, 2009

Google Buzz

Google currently uses various sources to find new content on the web, from links to submitted URLs. This traditional method may not include new content as soon as it goes live. Google is now discovering web sites by automatically scanning RSS and Atom feeds. This new process will help Google more quickly identify web pages and will allow users to find new content in search results as soon as it goes live.

RSS/Atom feeds have been very popular in recent years as a mechanism for content publication. They allow readers to check for new content from publishers. Using feeds for discovery allows Google to index pages more quickly than traditional crawling methods.

In order for Google to use your RSS/Atom feeds for discovery, it’s important that crawling these files is not disallowed by your robots.txt. To find out if Googlebot can crawl your feeds, test your feed URLs with the robots.txt tester in Google Webmaster Tools.
