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?

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.

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:
- 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?
