Welcome back!
Google 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.
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 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
Also the homepage has new Google logo and change in fonts:
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.

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.
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.
