Google celebrates commercial success of the Android operating system

Some 200,000 smart phones that use Google's Android operating system are sold every day, said Chief Executive of the Internet company, Eric Schmidt, emphasizing the strong challenge to rivals such as Apple's iPhone.

Smartphones and found to be a failure

Schmidt told reporters during a technology industry conference in Lake Tahoe that Android "mobile software for launching a little over a year, was gaining momentum in a fiercely competitive scenario.
Smart phones that operate with the software were the best sellers in the second quarter among U.S. consumers, said on Wednesday tracking firm NPD.
One third of all units sold between April and June had the operating system, while the BlackBerry from Research in Motion fell to second place for the first time since 2007.
BlackBerry lost nine percentage points of market share and fell to 28 percent. The iPhone came in third with 22 percent.
Android is now on smartphones manufactured by several companies, including Motorola Droid-the best-selling Android device in the second quarter among U.S. consumers, and the apparatus of the Taiwanese HTC.

Google said recently that 160,000 Android phones have been activated daily during the second quarter, up from 65,000 a day for the first quarter.
"It seems that Android is not only phenomenal, but also has a phenomenal success in its rate of growth," Schmidt told reporters at the conference Techonomy, where he participated in a panel discussion.
Schmidt said Google is now focused on integrating social networking features into their products online.

But the executive did not comment on reports that it is creating a new service to compete with Facebook, the largest social networking site in the world and suggest that firms would be associated with social and Zynga games.
Analysts have said the games could be the ticket for Google to enter the social networking scene, at a time when the Internet giant seeks to leave behind a disappointing series of initiatives that have made the background in a market boom.

"There have been many leaks, some of which have been corrected, some that have not been. In general it is better not to talk about unannounced products," said Schmidt.
"Overall, we always believe that our products would be better with more social cues," he added.
Schmidt's comments came the same day the company Google deactivated Wave, a product of high-profile social networks presented the past year.
Wave Schmidt said no "got enough momentum, but the company applied some of its functions to upcoming products.

Dell plans to release a smartphone in the U.S.

Dell plans to launch a smart phone with Android software from Google via AT & T operator, according to a source, which would be the first PC maker's foray into the arena of mobile telephony in the U.S..

Dell spokesman Andrew Bowins declined to comment on a deal with AT & T but said: "We are deeply committed to our operator partners around the world to offer computing devices that work with mobile broadband.
He added: "We have not announced anything about Android although we continue to explore opportunities in these areas with operators around the world."

The Flash comes to smartphones, but not the iPhone

One of the technologies used to watch videos on computers will be available very soon for most so-called smartphones and smart phones.Flash software is used in the playback of about 75% of the videos projected on the Internet and has become the key to the operation of websites such as YouTube and Google Video.
Until now, many smartphones and notebook computers use a version of "light" from the program due to limited processing power of these devices.
It is envisaged that the new program work for both smart phones to personal computers.
Adobe, the creator of Flash, said that in 2010, the software should be available in most phones, though the Apple iPhone continue to bypassing it."The range of applications for personal processors we've seen, we will now phones," ,Ben Wood, director of mobile research company CCS Insight.
"We will be able to access very interesting material that has been designed and developed by Web designers.
According to Adobe, Flash is one of the programs that are typically installed on computers. Is around 98% of personal processors and almost 75% of Internet videos played through Flash.

This program is behind the BBC iPlayer and some 70% of Internet gaming.
However, until now, the full version of program has not been available on smartphones.
Flash 10.1, known as the new version, developed by the boom produced by the cell phone, said Wood.
In addition, he said, software developers and users have joined their voices to hold over the experience of accessing the Internet on a personal computer to a smartphone.
"We are giving a response to that need," said Anup Muraka Adobe.
"Years ago, finding information on cellphones was almost nonexistent, no one cared to have the same tools they enjoyed in the desktop computer in their phones," said Muraka.
"But in recent years, a high level of development has extended to these devices."
CCS Insight report predicted that by the end of 2009, 44% of cell phone users will access information through their phones, while it is expected that smart phones accounted for 17% of the over one billion devices produced in 2009.
"Cell phones have gone from being a hearing aid to a visual artifact that you put in front of you," Wood said.

The new software ensures the reproduction of high definition video and Tabi can be used in touch screens.

This is the main product of an initiative called "Open Screen Project (Open Screen Project), which promotes the creation of a flexible media platform, that can play movies and games on both computers and phones.The intention of the project is to develop flexible software that allows developers to make the encodings only once and not several times for various formats.

The Open Screen Project is supported by about 50 companies, including Google and Nokia.
The new software will be available for Windows Mobile, Palm webOS and operating systems that include at the end of this year, Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
Trial Software for Google Android and the popular Symbian operating systems will be available early 2010.
"We need cooperation from Apple. For now Safari (Apple's web browser) does not support the use of any extension (on iPhone)."But we would like to see him there." For Wood, the time is coming.
