Google to Make Billions With Android!

The guys and gals over at Googleplex are brilliant! There’s nothing like creating a huge, multi-billion dollar advertising market, where before, there was nothing. What I’m talking about is Google’s obvious long term goals of turning Android into a marketer’s dream, with push advertising.

What I mean by push advertising is that Google will be able to track Android enabled devices and push ads to the users based on GPS location and the user’s known preferences in products and services. As Millions of users flock to the new Android enabled phones that hit the market the first week of November, Google’s tech and advertising guys must be drooling thinking about the revenue potential available to them in the near future.

Here’s how I see the future of Android. If you think I’m going to far, or not far enough, drop me a line and we’ll discuss it. LOL

Android enabled phones have built in GPS and the ability to get driving and walking applications for free. With that ability, ”THEY” will always know where their users are. While that’s good for your run of the mill 911 operator, it’ll be even better for Google, and here’s why:

1. Google’s been working on “Local Search” pretty hard the last few years.
2. Google knows where all the restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, pizza places and coffee shops are. (Well, who cares about what Google knows? You should, that’s who, especially if your wife or husband loads a child tracking app on your Android phone and see’s who’ve you’ve been hanging out with when you said you were at the gym. But I digress…)
3. Currently, with Google’s “Adwords”, you can choose to advertise in local markets and select a radius around a town or zip code to specify where you want your local ads to show up, and in the future, I’m sure they will let their advertisers add a GPS location for mobile ad placement.
4. Here’s where Google creates it’s new Billion dollar baby. With the ability to track it’s users via GPS, Google can now push ads to potential customers as they wander around town. In other words, if you’re driving within half a mile of Starbucks, Google could flash an add on the screen of your Android phone with a coupon that gives you $1.00 off of a Grande’ green apple martini macchiato if you stop by in the next 15 minutes and let them scan the bar coded coupon they sent to your phone, or better yet, just deduct it from the credit card you already have on file in your “Googlebase” account. With that kind of power, they will soon be able to control Billions of dollars worth of advertising as they push coupons to Android enabled phones all over the world.

 What do you think? Did I undershoot the market, will they really be making trillions and take over all radio and TV advertising in the future? Let me know what you think…

The Android Phone

by Anna
T-Mobile G1 Android Phone

Google and T-Mobile have teamed up to create an entire new breed of cell phone.

The T-Mobile G1 is the world’s first Android Phone.

Its known as the the Android Phone, T-Mobile G1 Android, the G1 Phone, or (more informally) the Google Phone.

The G1 Android Phone integrates fully with your Google accounts. Here are a few of the features and capabilities of this new cell phone:

• The Android Phone Allows you to copy URLs and share them with friends via a chat line, using a simple touch-screen interface.
• An Android phone allows you to browse the Internet just as you would on a normal computer.
• The Android allows one to run several applications at the same time, on one phone. You can switch between applications, and you can also be notified when something new occurs on one of those applications.
• The Google Android phone allows you to chat and share photos on applications such as Yahoo Messenger, Google, Talk, etc.

The following Google applications can be accessed and used directly by the Android Phone:

Gmail
Contacts
Google Maps
YouTube
Calendar
IM (Instant Message)

All of these Google applications will be available to you with a single longon – and they will be automatically synchronized with the web. What that means is that any change you make in one of your Google accounts from your phone will also show up the next time you log on from any other computer.

For example, when you are out and about with your phone and you meet a new contact, you might want to save their contact information. All you do is save it into your Google Contacts on your Android phone. That information will be available to you online, in your Gmail account, and in any other applicable Google account, accessible by any computer in the world.

Any information you save on your phone in this way will appear on your computer as well – and vice versa.

If you lose or break your phone, your data will still be there waiting for you on your Google account, which you can access from anywhere in the world. And there is no need to worry about your information being stolen, as its password-protected.

Here is another example of the a use of a Google Android phone. Once you have a contact address saved into your Google account, you can easily find that location on a map – using Google Maps, of course. And what’s more, you can access street level events in any area where this is available.

This makes it a breeze to get directions to a new location! Simply find your contact on a a map with a couple of clicks, and use a street-level view to find your way if needed!

Another example of the use of the Android phone is the integration of the cell phone with your Google Calender. Any event you save on your Google calender will be available to you on your phone, wherever you are. So you can access your schedule easily, on the go and from anywhere, as long as you have your phone with you.

No more schedule books! And you can probably say goodbye to those tiny notebooks and pads of paper you carry around to save your information.

What’s more, once you save information on your Google Android phone, there’s no need to transfer it over after you get home. Its all there, safely stored on your Google account, for ready access whenever you need it.
