Android Phone, Google Android Phone News
From the monthly archives:
Since the release of the T-Mobile G1 Phone it seems that it has been comparison after comparison of the new first Google Android phone with Apple’s iPhone. I’m not surprised by that at all, I think we have waited so long for the release of the first Android phone that we all couldn’t wait to compare it to the iPhone.
It’s amazing how much humans love to compare things, if we get a chance we jump at it. I don’t deny though it’s pretty interesting to see how the two devices match up.

Visa are developing an application for the Google Android mobile platform that will enable mobile users to pay for goods and services using their phone as well as receive information about activity on their bank accounts.
Visa is not only working with Google Android though. Plans are in place for Nokia’s new 6212 phone to have payment processing capabilities next year. The technology will allow mobile devices to be used like credit cards, effectively placing your wallet into your phone.

Google obviously wants to dominate online markets in Asia, they surely want to become especially dominant in the Chinese market as they already are in the US and Europe. China is a huge market that is growing so incredibly fast it’s hard to keep up. There are 601 million mobile phone users in China at the moment, and between January and June 2008 there were 53.3 million more mobile users.
