Mobile Progress


"Google Mobile applications have seen a spike this summer, with a 35% increase from May to June. The increase has lasted throughout the summer, completely reversing typical trends for web activity, including Google searches.

These trends indicate that users have become more comfortable with using Google’s mobile applications, and also that phone technology and browsing capabilities are improving. There’s also a noted correlation between the increased use of Google mobile applications and the launching of the iPhone, for which Google maps has a featured spot on the hand held device."

Thoughts: If Google can break into mobile apps, when is the mobile device coming?

Why wait until other manufacturers understand their technology? Instead, Google is going out to make its own (google map friendly, I am sure) mobile device.

WSJ article outlines their scheme:
