Tech: Message to take from this ad: Everyone iDon’t, Droid Does

Not bad Verizon, Motorola and Google. You actually made some Apple-critical advertising with teeth. And we hear the Droid is a cool phone – with a better network. source

Biz, Tech: Who didn’t see this comin’? Google’s CEO resigns from Apple’s board

  • That Google Voice thing must not have helped. Google CEO Eric Schmidt is saying “peace out” to Apple’s board, where he was increasingly seen as a weird fit. Between Google Android, Chrome OS and now the Google Voice debacle, the company has been encroaching on some of Apple’s territory. While Schmidt excused himself from discussions pertaining to products that carried “conflict of interest” baggage, there’s only so many of those discussions one can excuse yourself from before it seems weird. Wonder what Fake Steve has to say about this. source

Tech: Next on Google’s list? A new operating system based on Chrome

  • Windows is screwed. Tonight, Google announced to the world that they’re launching a new Web-leaning OS that will lean on netbooks at first but is also targeted towards desktop PCs. The idea is that it’s a simple OS for people who largely live on the Web. They plan to open-source the software later this year and hope to have something to show for their hard work by the middle of next year. source

  • What about Android? We know you’re thinking – doesn’t Google have Android already? Well, yeah. But Google doesn’t mind. “While there are areas where Google Chrome OS and Android overlap,” writes VP Sundar Pichai, “we believe choice will drive innovation for the benefit of everyone, including Google.” So yeah. We expect Windows to go the way of IE’s market share in about five years. source

Tech: To Google Android users: Today’s a big day for an upgrade

  • Google’s Android mobile operating system is up to Version 1.5, a version Geek.com claims really should have been called 2.0 considering the hefty feature upgrades. source
  • The upgrade, released last month, finally comes to T-Mobile’s G1 phone today. The upgrade brings virtual keyboards, video recording (and sharing!) and voice search. Spiffy. source

Tech: T-Mobile’s riding the Google Android gravy train for all it’s worth

  • A new tablet and home phone could be in the cards. The New York Times is reporting that the mobile carrier is stretching the definition of what Android has so far meant to consumers – a single phone, the G1 – and plans to use Android in a seven-inch tablet PC and a home phone setup. They’re not alone; Samsung, HTC and Motorola, along with a host of smaller carriers, have plans to bring Android-based devices (mostly phones) to market soon. source

Tech: Google opens up a huge library at your smudgy fingertips

  • Watch out, Kindle. Google, as you might have heard, is on a roll this week. (Way to make up for that whole malware thing, guys.) Anyway, the company has made their Google Book Search available for mobile phones such as the iPhone and G1, which, with its 1.5 million book library, should give you something to do on the Metro. source
