Google Phone

Google Phone

An interesting topic probably, but don't get too excited about it. You will not find any mobile phones in the market with a Google logo stick or printed.

So, what is Google Phone anyway?
Google has a new team to focus on developing software for the mobile phones, which Google will ask mobile phones makers to use the new software for their products. This new software is based on Linux, and surely it is open. The openness will allows anyone to create or contribute more new features to make the mobile phones more and more interesting to use.

The initiative is lead by somebody who are an architect/engineer who has proved adept at designing highly integrated hardware and software. He is Mr Rubin, which previously worked for Apple, and is now putting his team together to make the so called Google Phone to debut in market in 2008.

Google's move to enter the mobile/wireless industry will be a challenge for Microsoft, as buyers will wait from buying smart phone with Microsoft Windows Mobile acts as the operating system, or probably slow the iPhone selling. Let's see how this Google Phone will eat Microsoft and others in the next 12 months times. And hopefully the mobile phones' price will drop significantly as the price can be subsidized by advertisers (via Google).

Google phone will appear in coming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Google has not booth in the expo, but managed to shadow the entire events.

Penunjuk Arah Kiblat

Salam,

Kpd tuan/puan yg inginkan ketepatan arah kiblat di rumah, pejabat, etc. bolehlah tuan/puan semak arah kibrat tersebut dgn menggunakan tools yg dibangunkan oleh Ibn Mas'ud (http://nomi.ibnmasud.com/blog/qibla-locator/) menggunakan teknologi Google Map.

Kpd tuan/puan yg musafir blh juga menyemak kedudukan arah kiblat dgn menggunakan 3G handphone/smart phone. Namun, phone E65 saya masih gagal memaparkan peta dgn baik, mungkin full version software ini dpt mengatasi masalah teknikal ni.

Utk semakan arah kibat, layari http://www.qiblalocator.com , kemudian zoom-out peta ke arah rumah/pejabat/tempat tuan/puan berada, alihkan peta dgn cara hold mouse dan drag. Kemudian zoom-in hingga muncul bumbung rumah/pejabat. Perhatikan garisan merah yg menunjukkan arah kiblat berdasarkan kiraan GPS.

Gunakan butang "Map" atau "Satellite" utk mendapatkan peta dgn nama jalan atau gambaran satelit (gambar2 satelit lewat kira2 1-1/2 thn dulu)

Kpd tuan/puan yg berminat install Google Map di 3G phone sila download software tsbt di http://www.google.com/gmm/

Selamat mencuba!
