The Googe Phone And Android

Google recently bought Finnish business Jaiku who owned a number of Short Message Service Patents (SMS), that is the technology that enables the exchanging of brief messages between mobile phones.

Google presently holds a 29% share of the US market above 16 percent to Yahoo according to internet marketing research firm eMarketer, and would like nothing more than to master the mobile device market such as cellular phones, Blackberry's and more, including their own GPhone. On this news Google's stock matured to a gargantuan $600 per share recently, speculating that Google's net profits might climb to as steep as 50 percent above the previous year's numbers.

In early November this expectation was smashed as Google, along with an alliance of cellular telephone-related reverse cell phone directory companies, proclaimed its cell phone undertaking was not for a single handset. Rather, the business is planning to develop a platform, or operating system, that will allow for bigger functionality to all cell telephones. The establishment of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), that has some industry giants as Motorola, T-Mobile, Samsung and O2's parent Telephonica, is assembling to endorse Google's venture, called Android.

Android is prepared to be the future multi-platform mobile software that is capable of working on several different handsets. It hopes to impart not simply an operating system but also key applications and middleware. Legions of Google's most common applications like GMail and Google Maps already have mobile variations phone users can run through Java. Android intends to create applications like this more usable on cellular telephones but also to allow a richer internet experience on the go.

For those poor people who are just incapable of coding anything in Java (the Android programming language), one of the plethora of other handsets that are on hand will have to do, since there will nevertheless be a huge variety of features to keep one functioning.
