Samsung Galaxy Nexus Review: This Is Android - Technology - Information Technology

Here's the thing about the Galaxy Nexus: It is the best Android phone available now by such a huge margin that I am prepared to say that shoppers should either buy it or steer clear of Android entirely. And that has not anything to do by its hardware.

I am putting forth a call to weapons. Let us not care so much about hardware, Android friends. Let us not pay mind to mobile processor clock speed, to millimeters of body thickness, to HDMI out ports and docking stations and removable batteries. The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone because its software was designed for humans. More than any other 'Droid previous, using the Galaxy Nexus just makes sense. And for that we can thank its stock install of amazing called Ice Cream Sandwich.WHAT'S NEW

The Nexus line is Google's orientation line of Android phones each one this is the third is the first phone to carry the new version of Android, completely unencumbered by the custom interfaces tacked on by most other manufacturers. They're intended to be the purest account of Android of their age group. The Galaxy Nexus is the primary with Android 4.0, called Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS Android code names use alphabetical dessert names Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, etc . additional phones with ICS will come, and almost immediately and they determination have skins, like HTC's Sense UI. But this is the phone Google wants us to think of when we think of ICS.

Ice Cream Sandwich is easily the biggest update to the smartphone version of Android since the original Droid's Android 2.0 A lot has changed too much to cover everything in detail. But sticking to the highlights:

The look of Android is quite different from before: it's now cool and blue, with spare lines and black backgrounds. There's a new, custom made font. There are friendly animations. The buttons are completely different instead of the traditional four Android buttons Home, Menu, Search, and Back , there are. well, technically, there are none. The buttons have been moved to the screen itself, and shrunk to three: Home, Back, and Recent Apps. The camera app has been overhauled. All of the first party apps, like Gmail and Maps, are new. Icons and folders are more three dimensional. The keyboard is new. Google Plus is heavily integrated. The list could go on, but it won't, because it's long enough already.

WHAT'S GOOD

Just about everything listed in the section above is a good change. But more importantly, Ice Cream Sandwich comes very close, dangerously close, to the ethereal goal of just working. It is fast and responsive as all hell. That is impressive technologically, but for humans, it's more important as an element of a phone that feels like it's working with you, not against you. There's no lag: when you swipe, it moves. This is not as easy as it sounds; I've always felt Android had a distinct lag between your finger and what was happening on screen, and throughout most of the Galaxy Nexus, that's now gone.

The new buttons are great; they save space, but they're also very functional, rotating when you want to rotate the screen, adding a menu button when you're using an app that needs one, disappearing when you're playing a game or watching a video.

Apple stole Android's swipe down notifications shade in iOS5, and while Apple's is prettier, Ice Cream Sandwich seems to say oh yeah? Enjoy the first generation. Here's what we've done with years of practice. There's an embedded settings button in the shade, so you can jump in there and turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on and off, or change your brightness, or whatever, in one tap. You can swipe notifications away one by one just tap and toss them off the phone.

This animation comes from Matias Duarte, the user interface genius behind the beloved and now-extinct Palm Pre, who is now a design bigwig at Google. It is the perfect way to deal with things you don't want: it's like grabbing an unwanted piece of junk mail and pushing it off your desk. Now your desk is clean! That same UI trick pops up in a few other places, and it never fails to make your phone feel simultaneously intuitive and transparent, which is not an easy trick.

All the new apps are great; Android's biggest strength, I always thought, was its Google apps. Maps on Android is in a different league than anywhere else, as is Gmail. The browser has been redesigned, smartly. Tabs can be swiped to close, just like notifications or open apps. Pages are rendered very nicely though I found the tap to zoom in on text, as well as pinch to zoom, to be less reliable and natural than on the iPhone 4S. There's a mode to request the desktop, rather than mobile, version of a site ideal for the sites that, frustratingly, don't provide such links for you. There's a save for offline reading mode so you can read longer stories later, even when you've got no wireless signal. Mobile Flash, recently shuttered by Adobe, is not currently available on ICS it may come later, but I didn't miss it, even though it was occasionally nice to have the option.

The keyboard is great. I've used Android for a long time, with many different devices, and this is the first time I did not immediately download a better keyboard app from the Market. It's the right amount of sensitive, autocorrect is unobtrusive and helpful, and it gets what you're trying to say. Job well done, Android keyboard developers.

There are lots of nice little features, which you'll discover as you go, ranging from NFC to a new unlock mode that recognizes your face to a new People app that collects info from all your friends. There are tons of goodies in here which you'll discover as you use it.THE HARDWARE

Is mediocre. Please, guys, no more cheap feeling, lightweight plastic phones. The Galaxy Nexus is made by Samsung, and feels like the Galaxy S, or the Focus, or any other modern Samsung phone. It's wildly thin maybe a hair thinner than the iPhone 4S at its thinnest point, but it's still light and plastic-y. It is not impossible to make great looking and great feeling phones that aren't the iPhone just ask Nokia but the Galaxy Nexus is just, you know, fine. When I reviewed the Nokia Lumia 800, I kept trying to get other people to hold it. Feel how great it feels to feel! I'd sputter. No such illiterate enthusiasm here. It's not bad either, just nothing special.The screen warrants some talk. It's sized at 4.65 inches, which is just insanity. 4.3 inches has become the accepted size of a big phone, so I was positive a 4.65 incher would be unusable, but in fact the Galaxy Nexus as a whole is just slightly larger than a 4.3 inch phone like the Droid Bionic pictured . Partly that 's because a portion of the screen is devoted to the new buttons, and partly it's because the phone has a pretty small bezel. It's still a little too big, I think I'd have preferred a Nexus with a 4.3 inch screen that physically is much smaller but aside from a couple stretches to tap something in the upper-left corner of the screen, I can proclaim the Galaxy Nexus usable for people with average to large hands. The extra space is nice for watching videos or reading Kindle books suddenly a pleasant experience on a phone , and the screen itself is great: ICS mandates a true 720p resolution, and the Super AMOLED display is very clear, with some of the deepest blacks I've seen.

The camera's speed is unparalleled it's very fast to shoot and then ready itself for the next shot, even faster than the iPhone 4S. But the sensor in the Galaxy Nexus itself is surprisingly bad. It's a 5MP shooter, and compared to photos from the iPhone 4S or even other Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S II, I found the Nexus's shots washed out, fuzzy, and without detail. That's a hardware issue, I suppose. Bummer, though. Future Ice Cream Sandwich phones will hopefully use better sensors.

The Galaxy Nexus will be released on Verizon's network here in the States, and it'll boast 4G LTE, which is pretty killer. My review unit is on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, so I can't make any judgment about the Nexus's 4G speeds or battery life a constant concern with 4G phones. It won't have a slot for expandable memory most Android phones do and rumors indicate it'll probably have 32GB of internal storage on Verizon. Call quality on today's phones usually has more to do with the network than the phone itself, but the Galaxy Nexus I tested delivered stellar sounding calls on T Mobile.WHAT'S BAD

Android is still not as streamlined as iOS or Windows Phone. Perhaps Android phone fans don't want it to be. Ice Cream Sandwich is a big step forward, but there are still elements that feel redundant or messy. Having three ways to do something doesn't make it easier to use; it makes it harder to learn the rules of the operating system, harder to understand why certain things work certain ways and thus harder to perform new actions for the first time, since you're not sure how it'll respond. Some apps require a menu button, which will pop up next to the Recent Apps button at the bottom right of the screen. Some don't need one. Some do, but you'll find it in the upper right corner instead. Ugh.

Sometimes you scroll through things vertically starting at the bottom like in the Recent Apps list or browser tabs. Sometimes you scroll through things vertically starting at the top like every other app ever, including contacts and music. But then the app drawer scrolls horizontally. Every single time I opened the app drawer, I tried to swipe it up, the way non Samsung Android phones have always worked. Why, Google? Why change that?The home screen is my least favorite part of the entire OS. it not only permits messiness, it encourages it. There are still five home screens, and you can't change that number. I never saw the need for more than one or two; the complete list of apps is one tap away, so why do you need to litter five homescreens with widgets and multiple redundant shortcuts?

Android is powerful and flexible, yes. You can do all kinds of crazy things! But that's like saying a huge buffet is always better than a carefully composed dish from a chef. I don't want to make Android something it's not, and there are definitely times when it's thrilling to be able to make my phone look just the way I want it to, but some consistency and limits might help here.

And once you get away from the warm blue glow of Google's first party apps, performance takes a hit. Scrolling is noticeably jerkier and less natural in non Google apps. The app selection is still not very cohesive; it sounds like an unfair claim, but the majority of Android apps are not as pretty or as fun to use as those on Windows Phone or iOS. Functional, sure, and there are an awful lot of apps in the Market. But mostly they are not as good. Examples: Rdio, Twitter, IMDb, Hulu Plus. The Music app is still disappointing; I'm not sure what the problem is there, but Android's default music player has always been curiously ugly and un fun to use to me. There are lots of replacements in the Market, luckily I recommend Winamp, although the official Music app is the only one that integrates with Google Music's cloud-streaming storage feature .THE PRICE

None of the principal folks involved with the Galaxy Nexus that'd be Google, Samsung, and Verizon have announced price or availability in the States. Good bet would be soon, though.THE VERDICT

The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone I've ever used, heads and tails above anything else on the market. The speed, the new sleek blue-and-grayscale look, the new Google apps, the new and easier ways to manage what's happening on your phone there's no contest. With Verizon's 4G, presuming the 4G doesn't reduce the Nexus's battery life to zero in a few hours, it'll be a damn fine phone, and not just for dedicated Androiders.

I love the direction Ice Cream Sandwich is going: toward a more consistent, simpler, more fun experience, while retaining that tinkerer's ability to do anything. Finding that balance is as hard as balancing an egg on its end; it may turn out to be impossible to please everyone. But I have no hesitation in recommending the Nexus if you're leaning toward or curious about Android. It makes other Android phones feel much older than their age, and I mean that in the best way.

The Samsung Galaxy Series: A World Class Innovation - Technology - Communication

The Samsung Galaxy Series is a family of handsets or mobile devices powered by Google's popular Android operating system. The birth of Android phones marked the beginning of the ongoing handset competition among the big mobile companies while going up against Apple's iPhone series at the same time.

Samsung released the first android phones, and it is known as the Galaxy Si9000 in March 2010. It did not take long for this smartphone to gain a great reputation in the American and European markets. Although the Galaxy S was a huge success, it still failed to hold other big markets outside Europe and the United States due to its high-price command. In response to this, the Korean giant soon developed other innovations that now comprised the celebrated Samsung Galaxy Series.

Now it is time to meet the most prominent members of the Galaxy family.

1. Galaxy S i9000 - the progenitor of all the Samsung Galaxy devices out in the market today. Aside from having the Android 2.2 OS, it also has a super AMOLED capacitive touch screen.2. Galaxy 3and Galaxy Ace - they are more or less like the Galaxy S when it comes to features, but they are designed to be more economical than their predecessor.3. Samsung Nexus S - the first handset implementation of the Android 2.3 gingerbread OS.4. Galaxy S II - as the successor of Galaxy S, it has the Android 2.3 gingerbread OS like the Nexus and is proudly one of the slimmest smartphones out in the market.

As one of the leading brands in mobile technology, Samsung did not limit the Galaxy Series to Android phones only. They soon launched a set of Galaxy tablets to with the leading Apple iPad. A Galaxy tablet is a replica of a personal computer in the form of a slab. It offers the functions of a laptop but with greater portability. It is like a notebook, mobile broadband and smartphone in one convenient package. This device allows a user to have a better experience for work, play and communication. The Galaxy tablets, named according to their screen size, are as follows:

1. Galaxy Tab 7 inches2. Galaxy Tab 8.9 inches3. Galaxy Tab 10.1 inchesSamsung continues to provide great solutions to the modern needs of consumers worldwide. The Samsung Galaxy Series is proof of their dedication in creating innovations, and they are not showing any signs of stopping yet.

Protect Your own Google android Telephone Against Infections - Computers

The actual remarkable growth of Android os features in part, been recently as a result of wide open dynamics in the Google android Apps Marketplace. Yahoo and google provides tiny vetting regarding third party developers, looking to market then sell app's, this means the quantity of programs accessible is continuing to grow in a short time. This has in addition managed to get at risk of hackers driving malware as well as infections. We look a number of acknowledged spyware and adware types, presently aimed towards Google android devices.

SW.SecurePhone (malware) gathers data and details and then directs the idea to some remote control machine regarding 'harvesting' through hackers. Most of these trojans only result in irritating ad ware along with unrequested unsolicited mail messages instead of cleared out there accounts. Even so, inside the wrong arms it can be regrettable and high threat for a individual 'wealth as well as safety'. Like the majority of infections, the idea runs without anyone's knowledge without the star staying shown, which makes it very difficult to remove. Windows people will be more compared to knowledgeable about this specific bothersome difficulty, as the operating system is very at risk of episodes.

Most adware and spyware operates soon after customers unwittingly put in, the idea right after getting outside software program. The actual sources weren't reported, nevertheless the Android os Industry might have been sacrificed. Bear in mind, only acquire programs via dependable options and make certain to be able to evaluate the actual designer information just before getting. Frequently feedback as well as comments are phony, so your individual research first.

Soundminer is the one other adware and spyware in which asks agreement gain access to your handset's mic, under the guise associated with several not guilty support. It then data cell phone calls and also applies the structure evaluation coder able to 'predicting' the actual likely content of your speech phone.

It is simply a case of collating adequate info along with putting that collectively inside right framework. The open dynamics regarding theAndroidphone Market place along with the allowing associated with access to 3rd party operators, has become criticised for not staying protected ample. Conclusion Google appear to have a fairly peaceful approach to vetting designers as well as their goods.

Only offering a new legal disclaimer with regards to Vacation software is not going to endear these phones buyers going through serious malware troubles. They need to assume responsibility along with just work at generating important models like Googlemail risk-free, because typically wherever malware as well as spyware and adware reach. The apple company has no recognized infections as well as the malware is incredibly tame in comparison to the Google android or the dreadful Computer nephew. Attempt to make use of sophisticated accounts, that use numbers and letters, in which achievable whilst an eye out pertaining to malware announcements, it is ultimatley upto you to remain risk-free on-line.

Will Google Gunning for the Right Patents vs. Apple, Microsoft? - Computers - Computer Forensics

Google has acquired some patents from IBM that don't seem to protect the search engine from Android lawsuits. That is, until you dig more deeply, according to IP experts.

With the number of lawsuits versus Google's Android operating system approaching the number of cards in a deck of playing cards, it's no wonder the search engine is trying to acquire patents related to mobile phone and wireless network software.

A good question to ask is: Is Google doing enough? Microsoft, Apple and others in the so-called Rockstar Bidco consortium outgunned Google for Nortel Networks' 6,000-plus wireless LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and various other patents in June. The companies spent $4.5 billion total in that not-so-playful game of keepaway from Google.

The search engine responded by reportedly bidding on the patents of InterDigital, another major wireless patent holder. InterDigital possesses roughly 8,800 patents relating to transmitting wireless data and other mobile phone and network technologies.

Unfortunately for Google, Apple appears to be targeting those technologies, too. However, Bloomberg said Samsung is also in the running for InterDigital's work. Samsung is the top Android phone maker and a powerful Google ally; if Samsung were to procure InterDigital's technology, it could offer protection for Google.

Still, while Google remains in limbo over the InterDigital technology treasure trove, the company did last month score 1,000 patents from IBM related to relational databases, object-oriented programming and business processes. The patents -- 1,029 of them to be exact -- also include specifications for the fabrication and architecture of memory and microprocessing chips, as well as for servers and routers.

That deal begged the question of whether Google, whose Android platform is seriously threatened by a lawsuit from Oracle and several by Apple against Android OEMs, was targeting the right patents. How would patents on database technology help Google fend off attacks versus Android? These same attacks forced Google to cry collusion on the part of Apple, Microsoft, Oracle last week.

Bill Slawski, search engine optimization expert and author of the popular SEO by the Sea blog, said some of the patents Google acquired from IBM include wireless sensors for Google's driverless cars. That's not exactly the type of protection media and pundits envisioned when looking for defense versus Android attackers.

Still, Slawski said Google did acquire some mobile phone patent protection last year, when it assumed control over patents from Myriad Group in Europe.

This technology includes predictive model that guesses what the next keystroke might be by a phone user, scrolling for zoom displays, linking and bookmarking and application launching through a mobile browser, as well as a number of approaches to optimizing browsing on a smartphone.

So it's not as if Google is totally bereft of mobile patent protection. Moreover, Slawski said the IBM patents could protect Google from litigation in other areas by opportunistic companies. Google, for example, acquired several patents from its Widevine acquisition that will protect YouTube.

Intellectual property expert Florian Mueller, who as part of his tireless coverage of Android lawsuits has counted no less than 46 lawsuits targeting Android, also offered some suggestions as to why Google is showing a broad patent appetite.

"In order to enter into cross-license agreements that can help to protect Android, Google would need patents that are relevant to such companies as Apple, Microsoft and Oracle," Mueller told eWEEK. "The types of patents Google bought from IBM looked to me like possible ammunition for a countersuit against -- or licensing negotiation with -- Oracle."

For example, Oracle is the leading database software maker and now Google has key relational database software patents. Mueller said Google could propose to Oracle a cross-license that would resolve the Android IP dispute on more favorable terms than Google could negotiate without such leverage. Of course, it's not been proven whether Oracle infringes on Google's newly-acquired IP.

Still, this is the kind of leverage Google could be aiming for by acquiring patents that aren't necessarily relevant to protect Android from litigants. At the least, it will deter some companies from suing Google directly, even if it won't protect Android OEM makers.

"Apple, Microsoft and Oracle are highly diversified tech companies, so I think Google can also benefit from patents that aren't strictly mobile communications-related," Mueller added.

Mueller also agreed that InterDigital is valuable for just about any company in the high-tech sector because it includes not only a a sizable patent portfolio but a research and development group that produces many hundreds of new patent applications every year. With these patent researchers, Apple, Google or Microsoft could accelerate the pace at which they obtain new patents.

Unfortunately for Google, Mueller doesn't think the search engine could outbid Apple for InterDigital. Apple has more than $70 billion in the bank compared to just under $40 billion for Google.

The war between Google and oracle Android - Business

Beijing time September 8, Google news and oracle in Android patent war provides a file, which shows that Google hope and Sun microsystem common development, and plans for Android provide mobile business income from the stock returns, the purpose is to let keep Android open source. And the plan from Google the latest files.

The document also shows, Google Android smart phone market in prominence on, because worried about Microsoft, Google mobile software monopoly market to charge mobile phone users consider service charges.

Documents related to Google and development plan for Android from Google, founder larry page and sergey sergei, Andy rubin, Google mobile top, 2006 have been at the email way, he has to convince Sun microsystem open basic Java source code.

"We have now agreed jointly to open Java, in addition they hope to expand relations, as Google Android users of the system," rubin wrote, "to drop out of the hundreds of millions of dollars a year from the business, will existing J2ME commercial pattern to the open source, with us. This is made with Android, Google common from taking the huge step."

Rubin this email from that, from authorized Java patent into open source. Oracle and get the Java from acquisitions, accused Google began after the patent and copyright infringement, to develop the Java code of Android.

Rubin says, the President of the Sun microsystem and chief executive Jonathan Schwartz, of the open Java source code is very excited, he hopes to "immediate call" cloth Lin.

An introduction Rubin and Android team proved to stretch out the olive branch, introduced from mentioned in Sun microsystem become open Android phone alliance partners, and Google will participate in thirds "joint development." Android

The proposal includes a three-year agreement, the company in "the sun is part of the open source to Android platform", and Google hand in hand to cooperate, promote Android online.

The plan includes $25 million to the cost of us $50 million, it will probably be paid to Sun microsystem. In addition, if Google services from Android to earn extra income, will share with Sun microsystem.

A slide list reasons processing, which the point is Google's open-source mobile strategy, will greatly speed up the progress, formed industrial union stop Microsoft monopoly.

The document does not show why advice failed to bear fruit. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment of the file.

Oracle and Google trial will end in October 31 in session. Oracle accused Google violates Java copyright and patent model, Google in Android is adopted in Java programs. But Google denies any wrongdoing.

Android defeat Symbian to be the leader of smart phone market - Business - Small Business

The first quarter of this year, the installation of smart phones Android platform shipments in the first quarter, more than 30 million, for the first time more than Symbian, Symbian platform for smart phones over the same period to 25.6 million units shipped. Canalys in the recently published report, the fourth quarter of 2010, global shipments of smart phones Android over Symbian platform for Nokia, this is the first time in history. From the July 2009 date, Android market, the number of applications and games for download showing almost uniform linear upward trend, Android exactly what kind of magic, a legendary achievements of the industry?

Open-source

Has become the Android killer

Market research firm ABI Research recently released report shows that the first quarter of 2011, shipments of mobile phones Android 3,000 million units, surpassing the 25.6 million Symbian platform, became the world's largest smart phone system. Androlib website the latest data. As at 15:38 on April 25, the cumulative users to download up to 4,207,070,858 from the Android Market. Although Nokia transition to the Windows Phone 7, a positive view of the industry, but ABI Research believe that Nokia's share of the year 2011 will continue to be lost.

The original meaning of the term refers to Android "Robot" is also a Google on November 5, 2007 announced the open source Linux-based mobile operating system the name of the platform by the operating system, middleware, user interface and application software components , known as a mobile terminal is the first truly open and build a complete mobile software that allows any mobile terminal manufacturers to join the Android alliance. Unchanged as long as the Linux kernel, the other may change, which means that the software developed by the developer to achieve more functionality and features, rich application software to attract a large number of consumers, the accumulation of Android's popularity. Popular here, including manufacturers, but also consumers. For consumers concerned, the greatest benefit is providing a wealth of software resources. Since the opening of Android, many vendors will be introduced and varied, each with a variety of functional characteristics of pro ducts. Functional differences and features, but does not affect the data synchronization software even compatible. Open platform will bring greater competition, this way, consumers will be able to buy at lower price favorite phone. Thanks to the openness of Android system, making Android system in the rapid growth over the past two years, helped a lot of old and new forces are emerging mobile phone or rehabilitation, such as the HTC Android phone on with the good performance into the global top ten, Motorola is by the power of Android, the mobile phone business to profitability.

Google Applications

Assist the rapid development of Android

Android smart phone operating system the rapid rise of Google behind the tree can not do without the shadow of a towering tree care. Some experts said that both the mainstream telecom operators or device manufacturers, in addition to value open-source Android platform, customization features, more stress is placed on the Google Android extensive background data and application resources. "Even if the advantages of free open-source, Android platform itself does not have such a strong attraction, the real attraction is the background of the Google Android resources. For example, Google users worldwide to use the database with information on behavior; out of the application of its open and content are also a good reference value of. "Some experts said.

As the world leader in the Internet enterprises, Google from the search engines to full Internet services such as maps, mail, input methods, after 13 years of development, connected users and the Internet has become an important link. A good brand and reputation, making its products consumer Android Google also quite trust.

On the other hand, to meet users smart phone operating system requirements, Nokia's Symbian system gradually lost in the competition. And Google take advantage of this strategic blunder Nokia. Google did not follow the usual practice of Nokia, Apple and Microsoft, but the model will be eclectic, as the handset manufacturers to provide a new platform for next-generation smart phones. From now on view, Google is no doubt that this decision is correct.

Android platform

Competitive risks still exist

Android thunder of the current strength to none, to date, the major smart phone operating system camps on behalf of almost all models Android system has been compromised, but Android "robot" how can we stop the pace continues to break ground breaking in the field won after a mobile phone operating system, Android again spread its tentacles into the Tablet PC, smart TVs and cars, four attack, the full flowering of the potential monopolized much Android, Android Empire had a dim sense of a surface.

However, the Android open source is a double-edged sword. Canalys analyst Chris Jones said, smart mobile phone operators can not be complacent, because 2011 will be a highly competitive year. Sony Ericsson said the Android smart phone is extremely competitive, the company's CEO, said Bert Nordberg, from product to product launch to cut them down due to aging, which the company overestimated the length of time. In general prices in the months before 9-11, but now must be reduced to 6-7 months.Nokia also have added new competition. Nokia Yaai Roper said the company needs to quickly raise the status of smart phones. Interpretation of this analyst, said Nokia may be hinted at in the U.S. market launch of Microsoft's new Android smart phone or phone system.

Behind the competition, Android's hidden gradually emerged. Android Open lead version, customized too many things to make Google products for the entire planning difficult to master, but also brought untold suffering to the user; security issues to be reported. Android contains some malicious software, the software has been exposed, or deductions, or collect user information, although the existence of malicious software is found, Google was forced to clean up from the Android Market, several applications, but worse than those application downloads 25 million times.

Is Android Google's Bid in Monopolizing the Mobile Market - Technology - Cell Phones

Google appears to dominate every market in which they step foot. For this reason, many believe that Android is the company's first step towards monopolizing the mobile market. And it might be. To really understand the importance of Android to Google, however, you need to determine what mobile market they wish to monopolize. Also, a quick look at the history of Google's moves into various open source projects will shed some light on whether Android is truly its first step towards monopolizing the mobile market.

Traditionally, Google has been a strong supporter of open standards and open source software. The company has used open source code as the base for a number of projects such as the Chrome browser. These projects are important to Google because their open nature ensures that users will be able to access the search giant's content and applications. Google's revenue is largely based on the ads in its various applications. Google depends on people using the search and Google applications to earn money. Android is a clever way for the company to ensure that users continue to use Google products as computing moves to mobile devices. Is this a first step to monopolizing the mobile market? It could be interpreted that way but it seems that Android is definitely Google's first step towards ensuring that it continues to be relevant and earn revenue as computing becomes mobile.

Google has a number of applications that are ad supported such as Gmail. Android is a good way for Google to ensure that their applications will work or be integrated into mobile devices. It would be natural for Google to be concerned that competing applications like Apple's MobileMe would be bundled into the mobile platforms from those companies. Android allows Google to bundle its applications with a mobile device which ensures greater uptake by end users. In this respect, it certainly appears as though Android is the first step to Google's monopolizing the mobile market. By providing an open platform that any hardware manufacturer or carrier can use, the company makes certain that theirs will be numerous devices with Google applications already built in.

Is Android a bid in monopolizing the mobile market for wireless service or is it really a ploy to enter the hardware market? It seems unlikely that Google has much interest in owning market share for wireless services or hardware. In the past, Google participated in wireless spectrum auctions. They got rules adopted that required openness if the bids reached a certain level. Google then bid them to that level and then stopped. That seems to indicate that Google had no real interest in becoming a wireless carrier themselves. In the hardware arena, Google recently introduced the Nexus One phone which is based on Android. However, most indicators are that Google's entry into the hardware arena was intended more to demonstrate to other hardware makers what was possible with Android. Again, the Nexus One is an open system which will allow users to select their carrier of choice. These moves suggest that Android is not Google's first step to monopolizing the mobile market for ha rdware or wireless.

Google has enjoyed a strong market share of content advertising and search marketing for a long time. However, changes in computing have threatened Google's supremacy. Android is Google's first step to maintaining their market share in the mobile market. Google's recent moves in hardware and in bidding for wireless spectrum strongly suggest that Android is not their first step into monopolizing the mobile market in hardware or wireless. However, Google's business model does require that they continue to gain strong adoption of their search engine and applications. In this regard, Android is definitely a first step of Google's monopolization of the mobile market for advertising and content.
