Google in talks with wireless providers

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?

Spreading the blogging word

After sharing that I had a blog and showed it around to my family and friends, some of them wanted one to even my own Granny. Since WordPress is what I use to blog with I recommended they used a WordPress blogging platform to start with, for ease of use and for me being able to train them to use it. After a couple of days of buying the domains and choosing a server to host them on we finally got them up and running and these gals should be posting some of the great things that women write, when it comes to what they know. If you enjoy reading my blog, well I am sure you will be amazed at what these womens bloggers have to say that I am going to show you in coming posts.

Friend passed

Have not had a lot of time to blog the last month or two because a dear friend of mine was in a car wreck and was critical condition for several weeks before passing away at the Hospital. She was hit by a drunk driver going the wrong way, and from what I hear he only had a scratch on him after the wreck. She will be missed by many, she leaves behind two daughters and a husband. Please if you drink and are reading this remember do NOT drive when drinking.

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:

1. Mobile Safari is now poised to explode in terms of market share, possibly driving a lot of innovation in the handheld browser market, and
2. 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?

Mobile snaps reveal invisible art

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.
