What Does android means to google

In android, google on November 28, 2007 at 10:57 am

 

The best answer that i think would be that google is upto some thing that solves problems for developer and manufacturer Google has never been into manufacturing hardware. They are an ad revenue based company, and they have been looking for ways to bring their advertising model to the mobile phone industry. What better way to do this than to break from the pack and develop your own mobile platform. Also  As of this writing Google has stated it has no intentions of releasing hardware of any kind to compete against the Iphone. Instead it is focusing it’s efforts on Android, a new open source platform for mobile phones

All applications are created equal
Android does not differentiate between the phone’s core applications and third-party applications. They can all be built to have equal access to a phone’s capabilities providing users with a broad spectrum of applications and services. With devices built on the Android Platform, users will be able to fully tailor the phone to their interests. They can swap out the phone’s homescreen, the style of the dialer, or any of the applications. They can even instruct their phones to use their favorite photo viewing application to handle the viewing of all photos.

Breaking down application boundaries
Android breaks down the barriers to building new and innovative applications. For example, a developer can combine information from the web with data on an individual’s mobile phone — such as the user’s contacts, calendar, or geographic location — to provide a more relevant user experience. With Android, a developer could build an application that enables users to view the location of their friends and be alerted when they are in the vicinity giving them a chance to connect.

Eurostat said that last year 18 percent of households had mobile phone access only as subscriptions for wireless handsets soared to 95 per 100 habitants in 2005 from eight in 1996.

The data embraced all 27 EU countries except Bulgaria and Romania, which joined the bloc this year

TAG Heuer release its own mobile phone

In Entertainment on November 27, 2007 at 10:54 am

If Prada, Armani, Levi’s and Diesel can do it – why wouldn’t TAG Heuer release its own mobile phone as well. Yap, they’re going to…
According to Reuters the famous Swiss watchmaker, part of French luxury goods group LVMH, is working alongside Modelabs (the folks behind Levi’s phone design) to release “a series of luxury mobile phones.” Heard that — not one device but a “series.”
Apparently, TAG fans will have to wait for the second half of next year, when we may see such TAG celebrities as Kimi Raikkonen, Brad Pitt and Tiger Woods suddenly start using new cellphones. Hopefully, we’ll actually see at least a single powerful phone (i.e. smartphone) in the whole series. In the meantime, we can still hope it’s the Rolex that will combine both the beauty AND the features

Two Companies Interested In Singapore’s Mobile TV Licenses

In News on November 27, 2007 at 10:44 am

Two companies have already expressed an interest in the mobile TV licenses Singapore’s Media Development Authority yesterday announced it would handout for the second half of 2008: “PGK Media says it wants to launch a ‘TV2Go’ service as soon as it receives a licence, supplying 10-15 channels. Innoxious Technologies says it will supply eight channels, targeting 15-35 year-olds” reports Rapid TVNews. The MDA plans to adopt a technology neutral position and is “proposing to give operators the flexibility to deploy a standard that best suits their business case” (release). Singapore has a population of 4.5 million, but more than 100 percent mobile penetration—and there’s not much area to cover either.

IS Google Android a threat to Microsoft

In Google phone, android on November 27, 2007 at 9:26 am

According to Greg Sterling, principal analyst at Sterling Market Intelligence, a consulting  and research firm, the new mobile OS is based on Linux and contains a Web browser, video player, instant-messaging  application, and several other features.

Google’s Android OS is the outgrowth of a mobile software project started three years ago by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Andy Rubin. His company, Android, was acquired by Google in August 2005 for an undisclosed amount in a move that was widely seen as the opening play of Google’s wireless  plans

What makes the OHA so impressive,” Sterling said, “is that Google has convinced so many companies that it is in their interest to participate, despite their fears of Google’s size and resources. They’ve made the case that if the mobile industry is accelerated as a whole, a lot of different companies are in a position to benefit, and not just Google, where as Microsoft has particular reason to be concerned about the release of Android, Sterling pointed out, because it is a direct competitor to the company’s Windows Mobile. Sterling said that he expects that companies such as Nokia and even Microsoft ultimately will join the alliance, particularly if consumers react favorably to Android.

Why Google bought Jaiku

In google, jaiku on November 26, 2007 at 10:45 am

According to venturebeat Speaking of cool Finnish companies getting sucked by Silicon Valley, you’ll recall the Jaiku was recently bought by Google. Jaiku is like Twitter, in that it lets people post short messages about what they are doing. So why did Google chose Jaiku, instead of the homegrown San Francisco company, Twitter. Jonathan Mulholland says its because Jaiku offers location awareness, and that this fits in with its designs for its Android platform:

…when posting status updates Jaiku has the ability to capture and share the location information (neighbourhood, city, country) of the poster in real time. So in addition to a message post Jaiku can provide real time location awareness of users… And how does Jaiku do this? An integral part of the service is a client application for Symbian S60 platform mobile phones. The client uses location APIs within S60 devices to triangulate the handset (and the users) location based on nearby cellular network towers. The Jaiku client was in fact originally conceived as a ’status aware address book’, and as such integrates into compatible S60 phones to the extent that it also shares the phones (and again the users) status availability (General, In Meeting, Outdoor etc). So in addition to a message post AND location awareness you also have deep mobile integration sufficient to identify the status of a user as well…Jaiku potentially gives Google the Holy Grail – time relevant, location based targeting of information, personalised to a very high degree. Google + Jaiku is not a million miles away from being able to push appropriate advertising to individuals based on their profile, their location and their availability.

call any long distance landline or mobile phone by just dialing a local number,

In internet on November 22, 2007 at 7:34 am

internet phone calls Internet phone calls (VoIP), that you make from the computer to other landline or mobile phone numbers using software like Skype, are generally cheaper but then they require a computer and an Internet connection.

Jajah earlier made some good start and allowed users to make long distance phone calls over the Internet using regular phone lines – a computer was required only for arranging the call – the actual voice conversation would happen over traditional phone lines.

Now they have gone a step further with Jajah Direct that completely eliminates the need for a computer to make internet phone calls.

With Jajah Direct, you can call any long distance landline or mobile phone by just dialing a local number, then enter the number you want to call and Jajah connects you. And since it’s a VoIP call, the calling rates remain low.

And unlike the Skype phones, you require no special hardware to use Jajah Direct – it works with every phone that has a dialpad.

Jajah Direct is currently available only in US, UK and Israel but Shaherose (of Jajah) did confirm that they will offer this service in India soon.

BSNL’s Big $750 MM WiMAX Network Plan

In News on November 22, 2007 at 5:51 am

Wireless technologies seem to work well in India vs. wired broadband, which is popular in other fast-growing telecom markets such as China. Maybe it is easier and faster to roll out wireless infrastructure and start making money.

Indian incumbent BSNL plans to spend about $750 million on a nationwide WiMAX network that will primarily target rural areas and small towns and cover a sixth of the country’s ever-growing population. This has to be one of the largest WiMAX rollouts anywhere on the planet.The funds for the first phase of deployment are coming from a universal service fund set up for broadband access. BSNL will roll out the WiMAX network in large cities later as a separate buildout. The initial network will connect schools and telephony kiosks in villages.

The state-owned incumbent that is often the target of choice four-letter words because of dropped calls to my parents in Delhi has been dabbling with WiMAX for a while now. The announcement comes close on the heels of the Indian government clarifying its 3G policies.

Japanese phones offer earthquake warnings and automatic translation.

In Best mobiles, best mobile applications on November 19, 2007 at 10:21 am

902i_series.jpg The latest Japanese phones from NTT DoCoMo (905i/705i) offer earthquake warnings and automatic translation.

– A novel feature that could be life-saving, Area Mail, provides quick emergency reports delivered to mobile phones in a specific area, with dedicated ringtones and messages used to alert the user to an impending emergency.

Shabette Hon-yaku, is a Japanese-English (and vice versa) voice translation service. Simply speak into the phone in Japanese, and the phone will speak back in English – or vice versa, if preferred.

The interesting thing about this service is that the translation occurs on the server, not the mobile phone, meaning that the service is free to improve in time without the need to upgrade the handsets.

Nebulus to help save lives

In internet on November 19, 2007 at 9:57 am

The Nebulus Emergency Flotation Device is a self-inflating shell which deploys quickly, enabling a water or ice rescue to be performed by just a single person without waiting having to wait for back up. In such emergencies, timing is everything and every single second of waiting could mean the clock ticking even closer to death’s door. The Nebulus looks pretty much like an ordinary life rae, and can be manually inflated by an emergency first responder or the rider when the recreation vehicle breaks through ice. It utilizes a couple of pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) bottles to inflate an enclosed lift bag. Whenever the rip-cord is pulled, the Nebulus’ inflated lift bag can carry up to 1,000-pounds of the submerged vehicle and riders.

Iphone to be sale in China interesting statistics

In apple, iphone on November 19, 2007 at 7:06 am

China Mobile’s pending negotiation with Apple on iPhone sales, China Unicom China’s second largest mobile operator showed its interest in introducing iPhone into China, reports Xinhua news agency

Localmobilesearch has  an interesting analysis of the financial implications for Apple from Silicon Alley Insider:

We estimate that a 2% share of China’s 600 million mobile subscribers (projected 2008) with a $300 unit price tag and no revenue share would yield $1.8 billion in incremental annual revenue. (For comparison, after only three months of iPhone sales, Apple already has a 1/2% share of the U.S. market). A 5% share at the same price would produce $4.5 billion in annual revenue.

China Mobile is reportedly in talks to sell the iPhone in that market. China is the world’s single largest mobile handset market, with some 500+ million mobile users.

How to crash a Windows mobile using MMS

In Entertainment on November 17, 2007 at 6:52 am

Security researchers have released proof-of-concept code that exploits vulnerabilities in MMS implementations in mobile phones running mobile versions of Windows.

The vulnerability was discovered six months ago by security researcher Collin Mulliner, who published the exploit at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin last week in a bid to force manufacturers to deal with the issue. document.write(‘\x3Cscript src=”http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/adj/reg.security.4159/antivirus;’+RegExCats+GetVCs()+’pid=’+RegId+’;'+RegKW+’maid=’+maid+’;test=’+test+’;pf=’+RegPF+’;dcove=d;sz=336×280;tile=3;ord=’ + rand + ‘?” type=”text/javascript”>\x3C\/script>’); dcmaxversion = 9 dcminversion = 6 Do On Error Resume Next plugin = (IsObject(CreateObject(“ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.” & dcmaxversion & “”))) If plugin = true Then Exit Do dcmaxversion = dcmaxversion – 1 Loop While dcmaxversion >= dcminversion

The flaw involves buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) protocol in MMS messages. As a result long MMS messages appended with malware may crash phones in such a way as to deposit hostile code in the memory of targeted devices. The IPAQ 6315 and i-mate PDA2k are confirmed as vulnerable but other devices running Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Smartphone 2003 are also likely to be at risk of attack using the technique.

Even in devices confirmed as vulnerable the attacker needs to know the correct memory slot where the MMS processing code is executing, so exploitation is far from easy. Malicious MMS message will most likely only crash a device rather than infecting it, reports anti-virus firm F-Secure.

“While [this] is very significant, it does not pose an immediate danger to any large group of users. Although it is possible to create an MMS worm or other malware that uses the vulnerability, this particular exploit cannot be directly used in creating malware,” Jarno Niemela, a researcher at F-Secure’s Labs, writes

How to run 2 Skype accounts on the same computer

In Skype on November 16, 2007 at 7:50 am

I was trying to use skype with tw credential a t the same time and i found this great way to do it.

First, Create a new Windows user by going to the Control Panel and Clicking on “User Accounts”. Choose “Create a new account” and follow the steps to set permissions. 


Skype  also suggest setting a password for the new user by clicking on the newly created User and choosing the Set Password option.
The new user will also require admin rights on your PC.

Next, create a shortcut to Skype or make a copy of the Shortcut that is already in the start menu. Right click this new shortcut and choose properties. On the bottom of the first page will be a button labeled “Advanced…”. Click this button and select “Run with different credentials”. Select OK, and then select OK again to close the Properties dialog.

You’re all set. Whenever you use this new shortcut it will ask for a Windows username and password. Enter the username and password of the user you created earlier by choosing “The following user:” option. Click OK and you’ll have a second instance of Skype. It will require that you log in with your Skype username and password the first time.

To help automate the ‘run as’ trick you can create a second desktop icon for Skype and modify its properties. Click the advanced button and check the box ‘run with different credentials’. After clicking on the modified icon it will ask you to sign in as another user. Changing the icon graphic also helps ensures you click on the correct icon.

If you have multiple USB headsets or USB Phones you should be able to setup both instances of Skype to use a different sound device

One of the bigger issues was the connection speed, which Apple has tackled by getting agreements with hotspot providers in the UK and Germany so people can use the iPhone in the hotspots free of charge. The WSJ also mentions T-Mobile’s unlimited data plan, which has received criticism for being shaped down to a lower speed when people use too much data.

Steve Ballmer at the Microsoft VC Summit 2006

In Money on November 8, 2007 at 9:01 am

 Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer says that Google wasn’t ahead of Microsoft in any way online except with search. Is that true.Here are a few more tidbits he covered:

  • VC investment levels up – including in early stage since 2005, with resource shortages in certain places (especially where Google has a development center)
  • Consolidation in the industry is happening, with M&A being the primary exit option
  • Consumer markets are driving enterprise expectations, as applications and services available in the cloud to consumers lead to enterprise demands
  • Open source is leading in the enterprise through pragmatism: it is about value delivered, reliability and cost savings. There is still an issue of IP protection, and what will happen when a company selling open source software is sued for a patent infringement.
  • Service oriented software is very difficult to balance between extensibility/customization that you get inside the firewall, and the cost savings that you get through a standard platform in the cloud.
  • 200605111634_00248Venture investment correlates to Microsoft’s business (per the blurry picture on the right that shows that mapping)
  • Phones are going from dumb to smart
  • Web 2.0  = Intelligence in all devices, and communication between all devices.
  • Still a lot of issues with open source companies, or companies relying on open source stacks that they modify without paying a lot of attention to contribution obligations related to the license.
  • Innovation investments targeted by Microsoft:
    • Windows: The Live Software Ecosystem
    • Software Development: Up a Semantic Level  – as opposed to using low level declarative programming
    • Delegating IT
    • In Control: Professionally and Personally
    • Rewiring the Economy: moving away from paperwork through enterprise and extrarprise workflows
    • Redefining Personal Entertainment & Creativity

Following the presentation, a brief Q&A took place with the audience:

  • On the issue of speed of execution and delivery vs. Google (“unnamed company down the road”), Ballmer states that companies can’t deliver fundamental innovation in 6 months chunks and with loose coordination. At the same time, he jokes about Microsoft’s tendencies of having super long sales cycles on products and services.
  • On the Microsoft stock: “I would not sell now baby” :-) .
  • How does Microsoft set the price on technology acquisitions, since they seem to value business less than technology ?
    That valuation is often based on what it is worth Microsoft to have, as opposed to pure financial metrics, etc.
  • What can VCs invest in if Google or Microsoft end up building all major pieces of Internet services by themselves ?
    Microsoft will be happy to work with VCs to indicate what is strategic, especially as Microsoft builds a competitive monetization platform to AdSense, and they will go at it with “whatever it takes, for however long it takes”.
  • Which deal/acquisition do you wish you had done ?
    Steve wishes he had gone ahead with the SAP acquisition/merger – but does not go through the reasons why.
  • Can you comment on the spin-out of Wallop from Microsoft, and SNs in general.
    Social Networks are interesting, and important, but it is not clear which ones will survive in the long run ? Microsoft will deliver SN functionality in their products for the enterprise, but Ballmer does not seem that excited about owning one of these sites.
  • What is the solution to avoid the proliferation of malware ?
    Windows Vista, which has anti-virus/malware protection at its core. Less than 50% of PCs have a form of anti-malware enabled.

Google has announced a number of changes to its key Adwords

In internet on November 8, 2007 at 8:42 am

Google has announced a number of changes to its key Adwords product that will provide a more rounded product offering to Adwords’ advertisers.

Google has tweaked its site targeting feature to give advertisers the ability to run their campaigns not only on the front page of sites, but also on specific pages on each site. The feature now has a new (and appropriate) name: placement targeting.

Advertisers can also now choose the bidding option “that best matches their needs.” Users can now pick between CPM or CPC advertising with placement targeting dependent on the overall goals of each campaign.

Neither change is revolutionary, but it is another step in the evolution of Adwords from its strict CPC one size fits all package to a service that provides a full gauntlet of options to advertisers. Not that Google really has to do much to attract new advertisers, given their dominance of online advertising, but it’s nice to know they are still evolving and listening to customer requests.

China produces one half of the world’s mobile phones

In MobilePhone on November 2, 2007 at 11:02 am

Mobilemonday reports that China’s mobile phone output reach 500 million to 600 million sets this year. This is about one half of the global handset market.The production estimate comes from Xu Qin, an official with the National Development and Reform Commission, quoted by a Xinhua news.

China’s parts suppliers, however, are growing quickly as they sell to China’s electronics market which is experiencing stellar growth. According to Peter Kong, president of Arrow Asia Pac, a unit of Arrow Electronics Inc. in Melville, N.Y., China’s gross domestic product (GDP) is growing at 10 percent per year. “If you take the GDP growth of the first half of 2006, it has already far overtaken that of North America, Europe and Japan,” says Kong. Chinese component manufacturers come in many flavors. Some are indigenous suppliers that sell their products locally and export some to Europe and North America. Others are multinational manufacturers with facilities in China. They also export and sell locally. Still others are multinational manufacturers that have set up plants in China specifically to satisfy their customers in China.

iPhone contains hazardous chemicals

In apple, iphone on November 1, 2007 at 1:04 pm

According to alleyinsider International — Scientific tests, arranged by Greenpeace, reveal that Apple’s iPhone contains hazardous chemicals. The tests uncovered two types of hazardous substances, some of which have already been eliminated by other mobile phone makers…

In May, due to our successful Green my Apple campaign Steve Jobs, the boss of Apple, claimed: “Apple is ahead of, or will soon be ahead of, most of its competitors” on environmental issues.

We watched closely when the iPhone was launched in June for any mention of the green features of the phone from Apple. There was none.

So we bought a new iPhone in June and sent it our Research Laboratories in the UK. Analysis revealed that the iPhone contains toxic brominated compounds (indicating the prescence of brominated flame retardants (BFRs)) and hazardous PVC. The findings are detailed in the report, “Missed call: the iPhone’s hazardous chemicals

There have been thousands of media articles about the iPhone. Few of them have discussed the phone’s environmental credentials. Check out our video of the disassembly of the iPhone and what the tests revealed:

leaked Google phone Photo

In internet on November 1, 2007 at 11:09 am

We’ve seen a lot of Google Phone concepts in our day, but it’s really hard to determine which — if any — are for real. Here is the latest leaked photo of what may be the first official Google gPhone, but without any sort of confirmation from the search engine giant, we can’t say just how official this product shot really is.

A while back, we heard that HTC would be the firm that would actually manufacture the Google Phone, but what we see here is actually a handset from e28, a Chinese third-tier manufacturer. That’s strike one. Strike two comes from the fact that this phone isn’t terribly attractive or daunting in its design, and we’d imagine that Google would want something pretty for their freshman dance.

And then, we’ve got to wonder if this is the hardware heading to either Sprint-Nextel or Verizon, as reported by the Wall Street Journal earlier today.
