Google Round 2 ... but This Time It's the World


Its official Google is taking over the world! It has only been a few months sense the release of the new Google Chrome and they have already begun to hit the phone industry. Google has teamed up with T-Mobile to create their new world changing device called the HTC Android.

Google is trying to make the life of Apple a little bit harder with Android. Android has all the same features as the iPhone, the prized possession of the fruit. It is supported by 3G technology making it one of the fastest phones on the market. The only problem with T-Mobile is that they do not have a wide range of 3G networks so; about 95% of the country is screwed out of that deal. T-Mobile did say that they are working on creating more 3G networks but it is difficult with when they have a new phone coming out; excuses, excuses.

The Android also has a touch screen application making it easy for the user to interact with it. You no longer have to punch in buttons to text your friends; instead you can type on a screen. The touch screen is a nice addiction but I do not think people are going to care that much because they already own an iPod Touch or iPhone.

Google’s Android does include a nice 3-megapixel camera which lets you take decent pictures of your friends to put on Facebook. The phone is programmed with the latest Google software and has all the needed applications like Gmail. Unfortunately is completely useless to everyone who uses Yahoo mail, like yours truly. The only application I can see being useful would have to be Google Earth because it at least gives me the opportunity to look up my house and try to find myself out on the lawn.

Now everyone beware of the new technological giant. Google has come out of the internet and is now available for your computer. In a few months they will be offering the Android to everyone and soon take over the digital world. I am not saying Google is evil; all I am saying is that do not be surprised when you wake up one morning, turn on the TV, the Google logo appears, and asks you what you would like to watch.
