This is my first time to hear about this but tell you what, I’m so excited on the release of this new software. That’s what you call “the technology updates/changes in split seconds huh?”
Google shows off ‘Android’ software for mobile phones
Google Inc. showed off its nearly completed mobile software system to about 3,000 computer programmers Wednesday, hoping to boost its services and advertising for people on the go.
Although brief, the demonstration at the Internet search leader’s annual developer conference in San Francisco represented the most extensive public look so far at “Android” — an open-source platform being designed for “smart” phones and other mobile devices that surf the Web. Android was first announced nearly seven months ago.
The bells and whistles unveiled Wednesday included: a way to unlock phones by drawing a specific shape on the touchscreen instead of entering a password; bookmarks for favorite Web sites on the device’s home page; a “compass” tool that automatically roams with the phone while a user looks at photographic images of a city map; a magnifying tool to zoom in on Web content; and a mobile version of the video game “Pac Man.”
