Google Phones...

GOOGLE revolutionised the internet. Now it is hoping to do the same with our phones. Google looks set to launch a free telephone service that links users via a broadband internet connection using a headset and home computer. The technology that will enable Google to move in on the market has been around for some time. Software by the London-based company, Skype, has been downloaded nearly 54 million times around the world but no large telecommunication firms have properly exploited it until now. We now have Vonage the US internet phone company, offering It’s US customers unlimited  phone calls each month for as little as $24 (less than £13)... In the UK Vonage is offering unlimited  phone calls for £5.99 a month to UK phone numbers and cheap call to international phone numbers.

Google has held talks with Orange, the mobile phone operator, about a multi-billion-dollar partnership to create a 'Google phone' which makes it easy to search the web wherever you are. The collaboration between Google and Orange which are two of the most powerful brands in technology is seen as a potential catalyst for making internet use of mobile phones as natural as on desktop computers and laptops. Executives from Orange flew to Silicon Valley in California for a meeting at Google's headquarters, or 'Googleplex' as it is called by some, to hold preliminary discussions about a joint deal. Google and Orange believe that they have an affinity as brands that are perceived as both 'positive' and 'innovative”. Their plans centre on a branded Google phone, which would probably also carry Orange's logo. The device would not be revolutionary: manufactured by HTC, a Taiwanese firm specialising in smart phones and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), it might have a screen similar to a video iPod. But it would have built-in Google software which would dramatically improve on the slow and cumbersome experience of surfing the web from a mobile handset. A source close to the talks said: 'Google are software experts and are doing some amazing work compressing data so that the mobile user gets a much better experience. They don't know so much about mobiles, but they are eager to learn from Orange's years of experience.'
Among the potential benefits are location-based searches: aware of your handset's geographical position, Google could offer a tailored list of local cinemas, restaurants and other amenities, and maps and images from Google Earth. It is believed that the Google phone would not go on sale before 2008.
A telecoms consultant said: 'There are numerous situations in which people say "I wish I had Google in my hand", and I can imagine the younger generation of users would think that a Google phone is a cool idea. It could bring in location-based searches like "Find an Indian restaurant in my area".
Google already offers its search engine and other services on mobile phones. It has a partnership with Vodafone and last month announced a broadband agreement with the operator 3. It is working to make YouTube, the video-sharing site it bought recently for £870m, easily accessible on handsets. But it is eager to expand in what experts see as a huge potential market, possibly the key to the future of the internet.
Manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola are working to make the mobile internet commonplace. Earlier this year Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice-president of Nokia, said at a product show in New York: 'In the mid-Nineties I said that if you don't have a mobile phone you will be making a declaration that you wanted to be outside organised society. People said I was crazy, but now everybody has a mobile phone. Today I'm saying that in 10 years' time the same will be true if you don't have the full internet in your pocket.
A spokesman for Google said: ' we are focused on mobile and there's nothing new in our commitment to that space.' Orange declined to comment.-Monday 18th.December 2006
