After the recent announcement of their mobile phone OS Android, Google makes another pleasant revelation: they now plan to officially offer a service that lets users store their data in a remote file storage in the near future. Now you don't have to use your GMail storage space anymore. Details in the full article!

Well, it looks like it's official - Google will reportedly unveil early next month the details of its new operating system for smartphones. Exactly what the new development will be is still kept under wraps.

What was previously speculated as a new brand of mobile phone to be produced by the Internet giant was instead a foray into the software aspect of mobile phones. According to reports from Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the company will be bundling familiar Google service software along with the new OS, such as Gmail and Youtube, and will also be open to third-party developers.

While the "Gphone" software won't need a specific device to run it, there have been rumors of Google supposedly talking to HTC and LG, as well as wireless service providers like T-Mobile and Orange, about producing specialized units for it. It was however confirmed in a follow up article by WSJ that Google is already in "advanced discussions" with Verizon Wireless and Sprint on the new mobile units.

Hoping to break into the already established mobile operating system market, Google will be squaring itself off against other acknowledged open platform operating systems, including Symbian/S60, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and Palm OS. Hopefully, we'll be hearing more concrete news from the Internet search giant in the following months to come.

The mobile market won't see a Googlephone for now, but Google is still bent on making an impact on the mobile industry. The internet giant will be trying to develop easily accessible applications on mobile phones, and provide an open-source mobile phone operating system to let third-party software developers go crazy in making applications for Google-optimized phones.

Google already approached a number of mobile phone manufacturers and conferred with them about the production of handsets specifically made compatible for the use of Google software, like the ever-useful Google Maps, Gmail and YouTube, among others.

However, since the internet mogul is planning on releasing an entirely open platform mobile operating systems, there is the issue of privacy as well as data security - two pressing matters that should be addressed.

Will Google be able to push through with their ambitious project? Only time can tell.

According to a Gizmodo report, an insider source of theirs claims to have had some hands on time with the Apple iPhone. Some of the juicier details on the highly anticipated phone follows.

It was reported that as far as price is concerned that source believes that it's probably only worth half (the source's opinion) of the rumored US$ 500-600 price range.

As far as the software in the phone itself is concerned, it was reported that it has e-mail (AOL, Gmail, Hotmail) and web browsing features worked into it already. It was noted that you can also use your own POP email address. However, it was also expressed that would be constant firmware updates for the iPhone. How often is it exactly? "I'm talking nearly daily," the source says.

We've already reported about the Maps feature and the "secret" feature of Apple's iPhone. This recent batch of features should help contribute pieces to the puzzle. As for those who are patient and cautious enough to wait for official stuff from Apple about the product, relax. All will be revealed on the 29th.

A revolution is underway as internet search giant Google has signed an agreement with mobile phone maker Samsung to pimp the latter's mobiles. Google products such as Google search, Google maps, Gmail, and other future Google products will be available so you can find whatever you want whilst on the move.

The combination of Google applications and Samsung's advanced mobile devices represents the two companies' dedication to offering a hassle-free mobile Internet experience for consumers worldwide. This may sound a bit salesman-esque but for mobile phone users out there, this is great news, especially with the integration of traffic updates on Google Maps.

If you find it a little hard to get to grips with new technology on mobiles then you'll be glad to hear that all Google applications on Samsung phones will be easily accessible with a click of a button. If you cannot get to a PC, this is the next best thing. Kitae Lee, President of Samsung's Telecommunication Network Business said:

We are very thrilled to introduce Samsung mobiles with one-click access to Google services. Our cooperation with Google exemplifies our commitment to leading the evolution from the fixed-Internet era to a mobile Internet era and ushering in a ubiquitous world where mobile enables our consumers to access information about anything, anywhere, anytime.

The internet-mobile revolution has begun.

Nothing excites us more than e-mails informing us we won millions of dollars from a lottery we never entered or inherited half a kingdom from an African king killed in a car crash. We have not given up hope on getting the genuine thing someday. It could happen. That's why the first thing we do when we get to a terminal is check our Gmail account.

Those days are over now that Gmail has gone mobile. From this day on we can read and reply to our Gmail messages from the web browser on our mobile phone. We can even send emails with file attachments (photos and pdf files). Gmail mobile also features auto interface optimization for the phone being used and can open MS Word docs.

To access Gmail from your mobile phone:

• Connect to the web
• Launch phone web browser
• Select the option to enter or access a URL
• Enter http://gmail.com, and select OK (or Go To or Send)
