HTC Desire Takes On Nexus One
Yet another Android phone from HTC, the Desire, with its 3.7 inch OLED display, is closest to the Nexus One in terms of its technical prowess and features. The Desire uses the same Qualcomm 1-GHz Snapdragon processor that we have seen in the Nexus One phone. It has a 3.7-inch display and weighs about 4.7 ounces. It also runs Android 2.1, the latest version of the Android operating system, first seen on the Nexus One. The Desire, formerly known as HTC Bravo, supports Adobe Flash 10.1. It has a 5-megapixel camera with flash and geotagging capability, digital compass, FM radio, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. The phone has an optical joystick surrounded by a narrow button instead of a trackball in an attempt to ostensibly improve usability. |

internet video compression experts On2 have been snapped up by Google, expanding it's online empire even further.
On2 Technologies, a leading video
The future of Internet video has been a big talking point recently, triggered mainly by the launch of Apple's iPad last month, which does not support Adobe's Flash
A good example of the move away from Flash video is You Tube, another Google company, which has been rolling out an HTML5 version of the site without flash. Combining this with Google's Chrome OS, which will be heavily reliant on HTML 5, it will be interesting to see how Google will approach On2's technology in Adobe's Flash player in the future. |

 Google and Apple had been the closest of partners, until recently!. The alliance made sense, though: both companies believed they had a common enemy in Microsoft, both organisations were/are technology’s star players who brought a coolness to their work not seen since Sony’s Walkman days, and both had markets big enough that they could conquer without getting in each other’s way. CROSSING THE LINE All was well until Google announced Android, the smartphone operating system designed to compete with Apple’s iPhone. This did not sit well with Steve Jobs and co. Then, as Android grew in stature, the search giant pulled the curtains back on Google Chrome, a web browser that would compete directly with Apple’s Safari. In the wake of the web browser, Google unveiled Chrome OS, an operating system designed to compete with Microsoft, but which hasemerged as the software that powers tablets set to compete with the iPad.
RETALIATING Apple, unsurprisingly unhappy with Google’s offensive, set to defend themselves as well as launch a counterattack. Apple motioned to reject Google Voice, an application they statedduplicated the core iPhone functionality. What was actually the case was that Apple feared Google had too big a presence on its phone platform. This led to an FCC investigation regarding anti-competitive practices and Eric Schmidt, Google’s CEO, stepped down from Apple’s board because the two companies were competing too closely in the mobile space. Apple then purchased Quattro, a mobile advertising business, in a direct offensive in a space Google all but dominates. And so the standoff began.
HERE WE STANDIt looks as if things won’t subside, either. At a town hall-style company meeting, Steve Jobs said a few choice words about Google, essentially claiming the search company had come into their space, and not the other way around. Between Google Chrome, Google Chrome OS, Android, iPhone and Quattro, Apple and Google’s relationship has reached, if not already passed, breaking point. |
