Google Aka: Search Monster, has released its own version of the so called Social Phones. The G1 (Perhaps Google 1) its
a pretty cool phone, equipped with the brand new Android OS, specially designed with heuristics of open source and collaborated scripting ( around the google family for a while…) will cope tech stores in USA and UK about a month from this date. Around the most interesting things in this small black gadget, are the possibility to use google Maps with the new “Navigate through scenary”, one finger slide capabilities, integrated keyboard, tons of google aps and a fastest browsing experience. Not as ‘Visually attractive ‘as its Mac competitor, the G1 will cost around 170 USD and its being sold with Telecoms triple play packages.

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008If you thought MySpace was an American phenomenon, you thought wrong. The company wants you to know that it’s been successful in all sorts of countries, and is continuing to expand throughout the world.
MySpace Progress
Travis Katz
Korea came yesterday, and India’s on the slate for later this week. Neither nation is exactly unfamiliar with social networks; Korea may have more of them than we do, and India is one of the places in which Orkut has made itself well known. Still, MySpace seems quite confident.
“Every single market we’re going [into], we’re seeing significant growth in revenues across the board,” said Travis Katz, the senior vice president and general manager of MySpace’s international arm, to the Wall Street Journal.
“We have more than four and a half million users in Germany and, in less than a year, more than three million users in France,” he continued. “In China, we’ve just passed a two million user mark. We’re in 29 countries today. We’re on a very rapid expansion.”
Of course, Katz didn’t give details about that revenue growth, and as Peter Kafka pointed out, a rapid expansion alone doesn’t guarantee anything. But if MySpace ever figures out some brilliant monetization scheme, at least it’ll have a wide spread of eyeballs standing by to be exposed.
