,----[ Quote ]
| While we recently reported that Google's
| Nexus One had a slow start coming out of the
| gate, the Android operating system, which is
| spread across a number of devices, is not
| having the same issues. A report by Myxer, a
| mobile entertainment company with over 30
| million members, says that visits to its
| mobile site by Android users grew 350% in
| 2009, strongly outpacing the iPhone, which
| grew 170% during the same period.

iPhone And Android Now Account For 81 Percent Of Smartphone Web Ads In the U.S.
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to the mobile Web,
| increasingly there are only two mobile
| platforms that matter: Appleâs iPhone and
| Googleâs Android. According to market share
| data put out today by AdMob (which is being
| acquired by Google), the iPhone and Android
| combined captured 81 percent of U.S. mobile
| ad impressions on smartphones in the fourth
| quarter of 2009, up from a combined 55
| percent in the first quarter of 2009. Most
| of that growth comes from Android, which
| nearly doubled its market share from the
| third quarter to 27 percent. The iPhone OS
| made up the other 54 percent. (Worldwide,
| the iPhone had 51 percent share and Android
| had 16 percent, for a combined total of 67
| percent).

Google Chrome âGoats Teleportedâ Easter Egg for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The folks at Google and in-fact lots of other
| major companies have a knack for hiding Easter
| eggs within their products. We have covered
| several such Easter Eggs in the past.
|
| However, we can across another Easter Egg in
| Google Chrome where users can teleport goats
| from the Task Manager. This is basically
| available on version 4.0.266.0 of the Linux
| version of Chrome.

Asus and Garmin Make an Android
,----[ Quote ]
| I just love company tie ups, and Asus â
| Garmin is one particular company I am
| interested in. I have yet to see any of
| their old devices first hand, though I am
| aware of the M20 and G60 by reputation. The
| G60 in particular got my attention when it
| launched as it used the Linux mobile
| operating system.

Android Garmin Nuvifone in the works
,----[ Quote ]
| The revelation comes following the
| announcement of Google Maps Navigation and we
| can't help thinking that jumping from Linux,
| to Symbian, to Android is a bit of a
| coincidence, particularly given the
| impressive demo we've seen so far.
