Google Takes on Iphone
January 3rd, 2010GOOGLE, the
internet search engine giant, will this week go into battle
against Apple, the technology group, when it launches a
smart-phone to much fanfare.
 |
It is expected to unveil the
Google-branded device, Nexus One, on Tuesday at a briefing
at its headquarters in Mountain View, California.
The phone will be a direct competitor to
Apple’s iPhone, offering net browsing and video games.
The launch promises to result in an
explosive marketing battle between the two groups.
Nexus One will create huge
excitement in the consumer technology world, coming out
hours before the start of the Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas, where companies compete to show off their
latest state-of-the-art gadgets. |
Google is desperate to make sure that it
has an influence over the development of the fast-growing
market for mobile-phone web access.
In October, Eric Schmidt, Google’s chief executive, told
analysts that the number of mobile internet searches grew by
30% in the third quarter over the previous three months.
As well as competition for the iPhone, the Google phone will
pose a challenge to a new wave of devices built on Microsoft’s
Windows Mobile 7.
Like the iPhone, the Google device will have a touch screen
and users will be able to search the web by using voice
commands.
Such is the interest in the device that internet blogs are
awash with leaked details of the pricing of the Nexus One and
photos have begun to circulate on the net.
In a SEO prospective, the latest Google
Algorythm that includes the loading speed of a website could
have something to do with Google and their plans to push and
support their mobile phone Nexus One. |
