Google to launch enterprise Voice product in 2010

Voice

Google is planning on releasing an enterprise version of Google Voice in 2010, said Google Enterprise President Dave Girouard in an interview earlier this week. Voice will be bundled with Google Apps. Julie Bort writes in the Google Subnet blog,"Think about it. Combine Voice (a VoIP app) with the collaborative nature of Apps (e-mail and office apps). Now add in Wave (instant messaging on steroids) and Talk (basic instant messaging) and you've got a package that could potentially disrupt the enterprise unified communications market. All you need is trust in Google's reliability, security and privacy."

Google lowers, but doesn't drop, Nexus One early termination fees Submitted by Google Subnet on Tue, 02/09/2010

Google today has said it will charge users a mere $150, rather than $350, if they quickly terminate their T-Mobile contract after buying phone at a reduced price with a T-Mobile contract. It is also giving a break to existing T-Mobile customers who buy the phone with a carrier contract, then change their plans. This is a nice happy ending to the story I reported a couple of weeks ago.

DOJ does the right thing by refusing Google Books deal Submitted by Google Subnet on Fri, 02/05/2010

In a surprise blow to Google's massive efforts to corner the fledgling digital books market, the DOJ has given the thumbs-down to Google's settlement with the Author's Guild and Association of American Publishers. I, for one, couldn't be more delighted.

Tablets aren't even shipping yet and the wars between vendors are escalating. This despite that tablets have always so far been a strictly niche device (think UPS), although PC makers like Apple and Microsoft have made many attempts over the years to sell us the idea.

On Monday, the FCC asked Google, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile to explain how they tell their customers about early wireless contract termination fees. Notice anything interesting about that list? Google is the only handset retailer in the bunch.

The Insides of an Android by Mark Murphy
Overnight, I received yet another request to deliver training on Android internals: how to create Android devices, work with Android firmware, and the like. While I offer training related to Android, it's only on application development, as kernels and device drivers are not my cup of tea.I get one of these training requests every month or two. I would love to steer these interested parties towards people offering such training. Clearly, there are some people outside of the Open Handset...

Open Source Friday Focus: Paint.Net - FAIL! by Alan Shimel

I have the screen shots already to go and was doing some research on the license. That is when I ran into a road block that prevents me from giving Paint.net my wholehearted endorsement.Any application holding itself out as open source that does not include source code is not open source in my book. I am not one of the open... 4
