Google Chrome Headed to Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Among a host of other things, Google is also a mighty successful browser vendor, what with both its desktop and mobile browsers occupying the third spot in their respective markets and constantly conquering fresh ground. However, a lot of people are wondering why Google continues to have two separate browsers for the desktop and mobile markets. But soon enough these people will have better things to do, for an effort to port Chrome over to Android now seems to be underway.
According to the Chromium codebase website, Android has been set up as a build target. It will be interesting to see what all features make the transition from the desktop to Android. As you’d expect, not much is known abo...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroidGalaxy S II
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise when you consider the fact that Samsung has moved more than 10 million Galaxy S II units worldwide, but the Galaxy S II is the top selling Android smartphone in the UK.
The Galaxy S II is the best-selling smartphone ever produced by Samsung. With its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor and an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording capabilities what’s not to love?
There was one point in September, the third week of the month, where the Galaxy S II was purchased with a contract more than any other Android manufacturer in the entire country. That is domination when you consider the competition that Samsung is con...

Schmidt says Google won't screw up Android with Motorola acquisition
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMotorolaGoogleAndroid
When Google acquired Motorola over the summer, the biggest concern was that the relationship balance would shift away from the other manufacturers. Google reassured us that Motorola wouldn’t automatically be first in line to work on Nexus handsets, and Google ex-CEO (now Chairman) Eric Schmidt recently reiterated the sentiment in an interview.
“The Android ecosystem is the No. 1 priority, and that we won’t do anything with Motorola, or anybody else by the way, that would screw up the dynamics of that industry. We need strong, hard competition among all the Android players. We won’t play favorites in the way people are concerned about.”
That’s nice to hear and all, but I could hardly blame ot...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsDellGoogleAndroid 3.0
A month ago on the dot, we reported that Dell was firmly committed to getting the beloved tablet-optimized platform in Honeycomb to its Dell Streak 7 – even more when units were spotted running a build of Honeycomb at the most recent IFA tradeshow.
Well, it appears as though that some Dell Streak 7 owners are getting the update just a little bit earlier than the rumored date of October 7th – though, some are reporting different stories in regards to its installation process.

Apple, Google among those pushing for US tax breaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleGoogle
Apple and Google have been lobbying the US Congress to get tax breaks in return for bringing more of their cash holdings back to the country. A study conducted through Bloomberg has showed a group of 160 lobbyists, headed by Senate Finance Committee chair Max Baucus' former chief of staff Jeff Forbes, trying to persuade politicians that over $1 trillion would come back and fuel the US economy. Many of them have put cash in countries like the Cayman Islands and Switzerland to dodge US taxes but contend that they could improve an ailing economy if it was subject to taxes.

Never Mind the Bollocks, London Gets the Google Chrome Zone Store
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google is hoping that it can talk the British into buying Chromebooks on the High Street. I hope they remembered to replace the $ key with a £ key.
The search giant is testing the Chrome Zone shop-within-a-shop inside the Currys and PC World superstore (no relation to PCWorld magazine) in London's Tottenham Court Road. The shop currently only selling the Samsung Chromebook. It's your one-stop-shop for exactly one device.

Google Nexus Prime should show at CTIA
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Well, it looks like we were right about the Nexus Prime showing up at CTIA Oct. 11, as we’ve just received an invite from Samsung which will give us a “look at what’s new from Android.”
While Samsung doesn’t go outright and say this is the Nexus Prime or Galaxy Prime or Droid Prime or whatever, it does have the Android logo in it and this times up nicely with previous statements. The Nexus Prime is supposed to be the showcase device for Android Ice Cream Sandwich, which Google’s Eric Schmidt said would come in October or November.
Previous rumors suggested that this would have a 720p HD screen and we could easily see this as another version of the Galaxy S II HD LTE, which was announced with...
