| Mobile Minute: The Mobile Minute is sponsored by SpiderCloud Wireless. It’s been 15 years since Google launched the search algorithm that would turn its company name into a verb. Now, Google wants to permeate our mobile lives the same way it dominates the online environment. Yesterday the company unveiled extensions of its Android operating system for wearable devices, cars and televisions. The company is also bringing Mobile Chrome to Android and iOS devices. Google also noted that the top ten highest-rated laptops on Amazon are all Google Chromebooks. There are 15 different Chromebooks available now, and several of them include cellular radios. Wired has an excellent summary of Google’s announcements from yesterday. For more on the smart watches that will run Android Wear, see the video below. |
