In the world of Smartphones I really love to see the redundancy in applications. Smartphones; there’s basically 3-4 competing operating systems for the Smartphone, and what’s fascinating about it’s the fact that developers are having to write the same code over and over just to put it on each phone.

It’s the PC world all over again, but now in the world of Smartphones.

People are making comparisons on which Smartphone operating system is the best, which one is better, but the fact is- it doesn’t matter everyone is using the same applications.

The applications are the thing that are making the phones attractive in the first place. The applications are in the position to make or break the success of the Smartphone.

I’m an owner of an Android phone, and over the last couple weeks I’ve had the firmware for Android for version 2.2; I downloaded it early and applied it to my phone before the official release was sent out.

I reported on some things that noticed with the upgrade, everything does far has been okay, with the exclusion of several applications that just haven’t been updated by the developers.

But what I want to mention right now, is that I believe that with the latest update, and I’m not sure how, but I believe that the voice recognition with the latest release of Google Android is doing very well.

I don’t know that there’s anything more concerning to me than what Facebook, Twitter and Google Buzz.

It’s not enough that people are out there in the world, on the Internet, sharing information and conversing with their Internet buddies, but do they need to know where you are, when your doing it?

But wait, all this information is going through a server somewhere; it’s being stored and tracked and used for digital profiling- it has to be… What corporation in their right mind would pass up the chance to reference that kind of data?

If you’re keeping track of the technology trends in the market you’ll notice that Google’s Android is really making a name for itself and establishing itself as the dominant operating system.  The development and saturation of the operating system have been impressive to say the least.

It’s a weird feeling to be in a situation where the windows operating system has been such a dominant position for so long, it’s hard to imagine another operating system coming out of nowhere within just a past couple of years and placing Microsoft on its heels in a category from which Microsoft should be dominating.

It’s a strange vibe…

Back in December Nuance gave away, in a surprise move, Dragon NaturallySpeaking free to the iPhone users. I don’t have an iPhone, because I think Apple is walking them selves right out of the smartphone market. But I was automatically eager to have the Dragon NaturallySpeaking application for the Android.

In my early conversations [January 2010] with Nuance, they indicated that while Dragon NaturallySpeaking was not out for the Android yet… ‘’things move fast’ and to stay tuned.

Well, I’ve been trying to keep my ear to the stone, but the simple fact is Nuance has released a Dragon NaturallySpeaking/voice recognition for Android, but it’s integrated with the genius button the new T-Mobile Slide phones [Android].

This week in technology has been pretty interesting Google continues its world domination of the smartphone with the android platform. it continues to flex its muscles in its appeal to the public, placing tons of pressure on the iPhone and Microsoft keep generating strong competition.

Apple concedes that ‘we’re not perfect.’… Try to shut down the critics with forum censoring. Ultimately giving up and doing what they should’ve done in the first place, provided the free cases for the iPhone 4.

And for Microsoft, Steve Ballmer comes out and says that Microsoft is hard-core about tablet computers- nobody cares.

As the fight wages on in the world of Smartphones and applications, Google seems to have hit the nail on the head with the Google App Inventor.

So you can imagine what Google was thinking a year ago when they released this a select few to play around with and inject a spark of innovation to the world of Android. You need something to make it fun and it has to be easy.

Now, some are arguing it’s not powerful enough to get anything done that’s powerful, but is it enough o do simple tasks and provide a basic service – apparently.

It’s been a fascinating ascension for the version control of Google’s Chrome. It was only two years ago [basically] that Google released their own browser.

So, basically in two years Chrome has gone from beta to v6. That’s actually pretty impressive in the world of program development and version control. If you look at Firefox or Internet Explorer these browsers are putting along in regards to versions. Firefox isn’t even version 4 yet and Internet Explorer is working on the release of version 9.

Why the race for Google to climb so fast?

What’s the importance?
