Google announced Monday, that it is releasing free developer tools for its new operating system code named Android and also announced $10 million in prizes for programmers who create winning applications. After a quick download you can begin writing applications for Android using the open source Linux platform. And although the release of Android on mobile devices is not expected until late 2008 it is sure going to get a lot of attention from now, until then, with the amount of prize money being offered to developers for creating great applications. I am going to give it a try and see just what I can create for my own mobile, I am thinking something that brings together all my friends, from different social networks into one, on my mobile but was wondering what other people wanted on there mobile device, so let me know what application your looking for on your mobile device, and why?

Seems via Reuters UK, Google is talking with Sprint, Verizon Wireless and other mobile phone carriers about putting its Google applications on there cellphones. While Google has yet to comment on the matter in makes total sense for them to team up with the Worlds leading mobile providers in order to give there customers access to quality applications. I imagine Google stock will soar yet again when deals are announced publicly and to be honest I can not wait to get Google”s applications on my cellphone my favorite of course is Google”s Reader which allows me to keep up with many different feeds from various friends and news sources. but was wondering what you would want on your mobile from Google if you could get it, and why?

Over the next couple of months I wanted to start to examine all the new mobile devices on the market and some that will never make it to market and others that will be out on the market in the future. I figured the best way to do this is by manufacturers of the devices and look forward to any input from my readers about any of the devices I am going to feature on my blog. I used to have Cingular as my service provider but now it is ATT and I talk with a Motorola Razer so that is the mobile device I am going to start with on my next post.

Mobile Safari without the IPhone
Apple has brought Mobile Safari to the Ipod
Last week, Apple announced the new iPod Touch (essentially, an iPhone without the phone bits). What is particularly interesting about the iPod Touch is that it includes WiFi connectivity and Mobile Safari.
There are two aspects to this release that make it particularly interesting:
- Mobile Safari is now poised to explode in terms of market share, possibly driving a lot of innovation in the handheld browser market, and
- developers now have a far less expensive means of obtaining and testing on the new browser.
What do you think of this announcement? What repercussions do you think we will see?

My friend Kim wrote some random thoughts in her blog about a new technology on our mobiles that allows users to snap a picture with thier mobile camera to reveal invisible art or share there location.
“Scottish researchers are turning camera phones to help bridge the virtual world and the real world. Using image-matching algorithms the researchers have found a way to adorn the real world with digital content.
The technology has already been used to create a guide of Edinburgh that allows people to find virtual artworks placed around the city using their mobile.
Another related project uses the technology to automatically update a person’s blog with their location.
