Nexus One launched

Google launched it’s first Google branded phone today, the Nexus One. It looks like a great product and should be the start of the next generation of smart phones. One feature that I can see setting this phone apart from other smart phones is its voice feature (see video below). They’ve implemented this very nicely and it should be a valuable addition to making this and future smartphones a truly smart and multifunctional tool. As always, I’m looking forward to Apple’s answer at the end of the month (the iSlate?) and their next generation iPhone later this year.

Right after releasing the Google Chrome browser for the OS X platform, Google opened the doors to the Browser’s Extension Gallery. Too bad us Mac users can’t use these extensions yet. For you windows users, have a look and see if there’s something useful you can add to your browsing experience. It’s another step in the direction of the Browser as OS.

Google finally released its (beta) Mac version of the Chrome browser. It’s still lacking some features that can be found in the Windows version, like the extensions. But you should be able to use it without too many problems. But remember, it’s Beta.

TechCrunch reports from Google’s News Event, held today in Mountainview, CA. Some interesting new capabilities are added to their mobile search platform. It all combines well with my earlier thought about gadget consolidation. Google will be adding more voice, location and sight functionality to it’s mobile search apps. For a complete rundown of these new features, head on over to TechCrunch. I wonder what Apple is working on in this area, or if they’ll let Google run the search and suggestion apps on their phones? Nah…
