Awesome Techs

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Google demonstrated a new prototype of the technology , which can translate the text from any given photo. Well Google Goggles is Google’s experimental Android visual search application.

Google’s Blog Post about this said,

You may wonder what’s happening in the background. On the simplest level, this prototype connects the phone’s camera to an optical character recognition (OCR) engine, recognizes the image as text and then translates that text into English with Google Translate.Right now this technology only works for German-to-English translations and it’s not yet ready for prime time. However, it shows a lot of promise for what the future might hold. Soon your phone will be able to translate signs, posters and other foreign text instantly into your language. Eventually, we’re hoping to build a version of Google Goggles that can translate between all of the 52 languages currently supported by Google Translate — bringing even more information to you on the go.

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. Well Apple and Microsoft atleast thinks like this. Now google is becoming more and more powerful and the growth of this ad giant is dramatic. Microsoft and Apple are trying their best to make google’s growth slower.

“Apple (AAPL) is in talks with Microsoft (MSFT) to replace Google (GOOG) as the default search engine on its iPhone, according to two people familiar with the matter. The talks have been under way for weeks, say the people, who asked not to be named because the details have not been made public.”

BusinessWeek Reported.

If Apple decides to make this happen, then for sure it will be bad for google. But still Google have their own OS for Mobile. Why do you think google made their own OS for mobiles? And more over Google now have their own handheld device also(nexus One).

The WallStreetJournal is reporting now that the phone will be called the Nexus One. Tehcrunch says they saw some Tweets from Google employees and others about a new Android-powered Google phone that was apparently handed out at an “all hands” meeting. And finally Google is confirming that it is indeed “dogfood” testing a new Android device with employees around the world.

Now reading it altogether, we can confirm that it is coming. The Google Phone. And it brings lots of good news along with it. First among all of it It will be an unlocked mobile. You can buy it as one unlocked mobile. And second it will be the first one to run Android 2.1.

Techcrunch said previously,

It will be called the Google Phone (update the official name is “Nexus One”) and will launch in early January, 2010. It won’t be sold by any one carrier, but instead will be an unlocked GSM phone. In the U.S., that means T-Mobile and possibly AT&T, whose exclusivity deal with the iPhone is about to run out. It will be running Android 2.1.

Cory O’Brien, who got his hands on one Google Phone tonight, tweeted out that picture. He also notes that, “Google Phone = iPhone + a little extra screen and a scroll wheel. Great touch screen, and Android.”
