Google unveils Nexus One phone

Google has unveiled an own-brand smartphone called the Nexus One. Google is aiming to take on Apple’s iPhone and defend its dominance in Internet search, introduced a touch-screen mobile phone that runs on its own Android operating system.

The device is 0.45 inches (11.5 millimeters) thick, about the same as the iPhone, and has a larger screen than its rival. The phone will cost US$179 with a T-Mobile USA contract and US$529 without it, Mario Queiroz, Google’s vice-president of product management, said today at an event at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California [Source 1] [Source 2].

Google focuses on Cloud Computing

googleStrategyIn an interview with CNBC, Google’s CEO (Eric Schmidt) told a little bit about its 2010 strategy. Schmidt told that cloud computing is the centerpiece of Google’s 2010 strategy.

“It’s a new model. You basically put all your information on servers and you have fast networks and lots of different kinds of personal computers and mobile phones that can use the applications… it’s a powerful model and it’s where the industry is going. It is the centerpiece of our 2010 strategy”.

In addition, Schmidt worries not so much about Yahoo or Microsoft but about missing the “next big thing”.

I worry about the next entrepreneurial company that will take cloud computing into an area that we have not anticipated. (I worry about) something that we don’t foresee that could really take off. There’s evidence that a lot of new companies could be built.

Google Takes on the World

googleWorldGoogle is using its domination of search advertising to confront Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and others. It can’t possibly succeed everywhere at once. Or can it?

In just 11 years, Google has evolved from a pair of graduate students noodling in a garage to what may be the most disruptive force the business world has ever seen. Its meteoric rise has been driven by its mastery of technology and business strategy.

With a 71 percent share of the U.S. search market under its command, Google is looking for a way to maintain its incredible rate of growth [Source].

googleGoogle’s biggest mobile play was released last Friday, when Motorola releases its Android 2.0-powered Droid. The Droid is aimed straight at Apple’s iPhone. Will Google and its partners succeed where others have failed in dethroning the iPhone?

The New Masters of Wall Street

grid

A brash new generation of traders is making a fortune by remaking financial markets. An outgrowth of Chicago’s derivatives markets, they go by wonky names like Global Electronic Trading Co., Tradebot and Infinium. Personnel include mathematicians, engineers and gamers. They bet their own capital on sophisticated software algorithms that spit out thousands of orders a second. Big Wall Street brokerages and hedge funds pursue similar strategies.

E.g. from the get-go the strategy was to trade fast, furiously and electronically. Getco’s first point of attack was futures, which went electronic early. Tierney and Schuler programmed their computers, and the people manning them, to offer quotes and execute trades more quickly than rivals. Then, when the market moves, to do it again. By posting bids and offers for the same securities simultaneously, they are able to scoop up a spread of a tenth or a hundredth of a penny per share thousands of times a day while limiting the capital at risk. What Getco gives up by capping its risk it makes up for in volume. The company currently trades an estimated 1.5 billion shares a day with 220 employees and offices in Chicago, New York, London and Singapore.

World’s Fastest Broadband

fast_broadbandDiscussions about the public’s access to broadband often focus on which areas or countries have the most high-speed Internet connections.

However, with new demanding internet services on the rise what really matters is the speed of the internet connection. Akamai (AKAM) has published a report that ranks the speed of internet connections around the world. In the first quarter of 2009, about one-fifth of the internet connections around the world were at speeds greater than 5 Mbps.

The report includes broadband adoption data gathered from across Akamai’s network of more than 50,000 servers in 70 countries, and categorises internet connections by download speeds.

Three Asian countries are in the top five and seven European countries are in the top ten. A slide show of the top twenty can be found here.

Apple vs. Google

apple_googleOver the past three decades, a few titanic rivalries have defined the technology industry’s mega-trends, ultimately determining which products eventually end up in consumers’ and companies’ hands.

Now, adding to the annals of competition that include Microsoft’s clashes with Apple in the ’80s, IBM in the ’90s, and Google in this decade, the new defining rivalry in tech may be between Google and Apple. Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s resignation from Apple’s board on August 3 highlights the degree to which these companies are more foe than friend. Read more on this here and for an interview with Google’s CEO: Eric Schmidt please click here.
