Introducing Translate for Animals (beta): Bridging the gap between animals and humans Tweet

Making the world's information universally accessible is a key goal for Google. Language is one of our biggest challenges so we have targeted our efforts on removing language barriers between the species. We are excited to introduce Translate for Animals, an Android application which we hope will allow us to better understand our animal friends. We've always been a pet-friendly company at Google, and we hope that Translate for Animals encourages greater interaction and understanding between animal and human.

Translate for Animals is an application for Android phones that recognises and transcribes words and phrases that are common to a species, like cats for example. To develop Translate for Animals, we worked closely with many of the world's top language synthesis teams, and with leaders in the field of animal cognitive linguistics, including senior fellows at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

T-Mobile and Orange Complete UK Merger Tweet

Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom have announced the successful completion of the merger of their UK mobile networks and the formation of the new Joint Venture. The JV will be accounted for using the equity method as of April 2010 for both Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom.

Tom Alexander, former CEO of Orange UK, is the Chief Executive of the new Joint Venture, and Richard Moat, the former CEO of T-Mobile UK, is Chief Financial Officer and Deputy CEO. A Board of Directors has also been formed, on which Tom Alexander and Richard Moat will serve as executive directors. Tim Höttges, CFO of Deutsche Telekom, will lead the board as non-executive chairman for two years. After this time, the leadership will rotate to Gervais Pellissier, Deputy CEO and CFO of France Telecom, for two years.

Also joining the six-person Board as non-executive directors are Philipp Humm, Chief Regional Officer Europe for Deutsche Telekom and Olaf Swantee, Executive Vice President Europe at France Telecom.

The merged venture is expected to lead to operational cost savings of £445 million (US$730 million) per year from 2014 onwards. These savings will be dependent on up to £800 million (US$1.3 billion) in integration costs over the period from 2010 to 2014. Those costs would primarily relate to the decommissioning of mobile sites, the rationalisation of the network of retail stores and the streamlining of operations.

On the CAPEX side, large scale savings are expected over the first five years following completion of the transaction, resulting from the integration and unification of the networks and from jointly expanding 3G coverage. The potential for capital expenditure savings, net of integration capex, is estimated at £620 million (US$1 billion) on a cumulative basis over 2010-2014, prior to stabilising at approximately £100 million a year from 2015 onwards.

To create the new joint venture, Deutsche Telekom is contributing T-Mobile UK on a cash-free, debt-free basis, including T-Mobile UK's 50 percent holding in its 3G network joint venture with Hutchison and gross tax losses carried forward of at least £1.5 billion. France Telecom is contributing the whole of Orange UK including £1.25 billion of intra-group net debt in order to equalize the value of the contributions to the joint venture.

Deutsche Telekom is to also grant a £625 million shareholder loan to the joint venture, which will be used to simultaneously reimburse £625 million to France Telecom. As a result, the joint venture would have indebtedness of £1.25 billion, represented by two shareholder loans of £625 million held by each of Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom.

Android’s Secret Sauce? Google’s Advertising Rev-Share Deals With Carriers Tweet

Google (NSDQ: GOOG) provided a statement today, saying that it is sharing advertising revenues with carrier and handset partners, but clarified that it is limited to search and does not extend to other applications, like YouTube or Maps. They said it was a pretty standard deal, and works across all Android devices that have Google search. “We share revenue on search, not on mobile applications,” a Google spokesperson said. “The same is true for non-Android devices that use Google as the default search engine.”

In just 18 months, the number of Google Android phones being shipped has soared to 60,000 a day, and over that period countless new devices have been released by handset makers for sale by carriers worldwide.

Nothing typically moves this fast in wireless. So how has Google done it?

Well, at least part of the answer appears to be that Google is sharing advertising revenues with carriers that use Android, according to multiple sources who are familiar with the deals. In some cases, sources said, Google is also cutting deals with the handset makers. The revenue-sharing agreements only occur when the handsets come with Google applications, like search, maps and gmail, since that is not a requirement of Android. Google declined to comment, and said terms of its agreements with partners are confidential. A number of carrier and handset makers that I spoke with about this declined to comment.

For other handset makers, this will make the playing field significantly more competitive and may change who the carriers and handset makers decide to work with. Some handset makers may be forced to do similar deals, but for those who aren’t in the advertising business, it could spell trouble. On the flip-side, this is good news for carriers, which have been looking for new revenue sources that could help pay for the next generation of networks that will cost billions.

To be sure, any checks that Google sends today are likely small. Advertisements in applications like gmail and maps are nearly non-existent, with the vast majority being displayed in search results. However, by many estimates mobile advertising is set to take off. Google has agreed to pay $750 million for the mobile ad network AdMob. That deal is still under regulatory review. Google has been clear from the start that it planned to give away the operating system and make money on advertising, but it hasn’t said that it was willing to share in those riches.

The deals put Google’s rapid accomplishments in the space into a whole new light. Already Google was sharing a portion of the applications sales from within the Android Market with the carriers, but this sweetens the pot even more.

Android had a busy week at CTIA, which ended today, with the announcements of a bunch of new phones that run the Google operating system. Samsung announced the new high-end Galaxy S, while Sprint (NYSE: S) announced its first 4G phone developed by HTC, and AT&T (NYSE: T) announced that the Dell phone will be available soon. Kyocera, which hasn’t made a smartphone in six years, came out of retirement to make its first Android device, a low-end phone that could easily be free with carrier subsidies.

And it’s only been about a month since the Mobile World Congress in Spain, where numerous handsets were also unveiled; Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt had a keynote address there. At the show, he said the company doubled the number of phones it was shipping over the past quarter to 60,000 handsets a day. By our calculations, if that rate stays constant, Google could ship roughly 22 million phones this year. If it continues to double every quarter, it could hit 27 million.

Comparison of performance of Flash Player 10.1 and HTML 5 on Mobile Devices Tweet

The website themaninblue.com published an animation benchmarking to compare HTML5 vs Flash. Here is the initial post: themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2010/03/22/

Comparison of performance of Flash Player 10.1 and HTML 5 on Mobile Devices from michael chaize on Vimeo.

What you'll find is that on PCs, Flash Player is faster than HTML5, and that HTML5 is not that bad for basic animations. I wanted to add more information to this benchmark, testing the Flash Player 10.1 on my MAC, and on my Google Phone (Nexus One). I obtain the same experience. Flash Player is much faster, specially with a basic shadow filter. I also tried to launch the Canvas test on my iPhone 3GS.

I also want to point out that benchmarks are really hard to setup, and it's not easy to compare HTML5 and the Flash Player runtime. In this video, when I turn my phone vertically, I can tell that there's a benchmark issue glancing at the size of the dots. A fixed size of the rendering stage would have been more effective and significant.

My message is that for every technology that deals with animation, you need to take care of performances and code optimization. The Flash Player 10.1 runtime has been optimized by the Flash PLayer team for mobile devices. But, as a Flash coder, you also need to take care of AS3 optimization. That's why I invite you to read this white paper: help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/index.html

Knowing HTML doesn't mean that you'll become a HTML5 expert. I guess you'll also have to take care of code optimization. That's the same with the Flash Platform. This white paper summarizes a lot of tips and tricks to optimize the rendering of your animation, the CPU and Memory consumptions... and then the battery life.

I remind you that Adobe is embracing HTML5 and that Flash is a complement to HTML. The resurrection of development around the HTML standard is good, and Adobe is committed to support it in their new tools, although the productivity and the expressiveness of the Flash Platform remain huge advantages for the Web community. Look at this video that is a preview of Dreamweaver supporting HTML5 canvas. youtube.com/watch?v=0TwGpgFlrAE Nice!!!

Google Denies Revenue Sharing for Android Mobile Apps Tweet

Google denies a report that it is sharing advertising revenues derived from mobile applications on Android smartphones with carrier and handset partners. The search engine maintains the only revenue sharing it engages in is from paying carriers a cut of its search-related advertising sales. If Google was doling out dollars for ads served on all of its mobile apps, it could alter the competitive landscape for handset makers that aren't building Android phones, including Apple, Microsoft, Nokia and Palm. However, Google hasn't ably figured out a way to make its success in placing ads for its mobile search app translate to Gmail, YouTube and its other applications.

Google denied a report that it is sharing advertising revenues derived from mobile applications on Android smartphones with carrier and handset partners, noting that it currently only shares sales collected from search advertising.

MocoNews suggested March 25 that phone makers and carriers are shipping so many Android phones because Google pays these parties a portion of the ad sales it collects from Google applications consumed on those devices.

These deals were designed for carriers and partners that sold smartphones that ship with Google's mobile applications for Android preinstalled on the handsets.

Such devices include the Motorola Droid from Verizon Wireless and HTC-built Nexus One sold by Google. Both smartphones include Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Buzz, Google Shopper and many other apps.

However, a Google spokesperson told eWEEK March 26 that the initial MocoNews report is not true, noting: "We share revenue on search, not on mobile applications. The same is true for non-Android devices that use Google as the default search engine."

What if Google were doling out dollars for ads served on all of its mobile apps? Such sweetheart deals could alter the competitive landscape for handset makers that aren't building Android phones, including Apple, Microsoft, Nokia and Palm.

Or perhaps not. Google hasn't ably figured out a way to make its success in serving ads with its mobile search app translate to Gmail, YouTube and its other applications.

As Silicon Insider noted, paying partners ad shares for such apps would also be detrimental to Google's bottom line.

Google lists at least 15 mobile apps, none of which is generating heavy ad dollars. If Google apportioned money made from ads for all of its mobile apps to carriers and manufacturers, it would undermine the point of Android, which is to carve out as big a slice of the mobile Web ad pie as possible.

Hence the search engine's $750 million bid for AdMob, whose mobile display ads and in-app ads success has made it a prized possession. Unfortunately for Google, the Federal Trade Commission hasn't yet seen fit to grant Google's purchase wish.

Still, there is no doubt Android phones are proliferating. At least five new Android smartphones were unveiled at CTIA Wireless 2010 last week, including devices from Sprint and HTC, Kyocera, Motorola, Dell and Samsung.

Moreover, spokespeople for Sony Ericsson and LG Electronics (paywall warning) told the Wall Street Journal they were not scared to build and sell Android devices despite Apple's patent infringement lawsuit versus HTC.

This confidence in Android, and in HTC and Google's ability to protect it versus litigation, bodes well for the open-source platform.

Verizon Begins Pushing Out Android 2.1 for Motorola Droid Usersv Tweet

Verizon Wireless March 30 began rolling out Google's Android 2.1 operating system update to users of the Motorola Droid smartphone, according to a company e-mail obtained by Engadget. The message said said 1,000 users will receive notification of the update at noon, with another 9,000 getting a heads-up at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Verizon will then wait a full 24 hours before releasing the new software to 200,000 users beginning at 11:59 p.m. ET on April 1. Verizon was supposed to upgrade the Droid to Android 2.1 March 18.

Updated: Verizon Wireless March 30 began rolling out Google's Android 2.1 operating system update to users of the Motorola Droid smartphone, capping delays that frustrated users of the Android 2.0-based smartphone for months.

Verizon Wireless was supposed to upgrade the Droid to Android 2.1 March 18. A Motorola spokesperson told eWEEK the upgrade would be deployed to a small number of Verizon Wireless test users, with a broader rollout to all Droid users following soon after.

When the companies still hadn't pushed the newer OS, which includes pinch-to-zoom and voice-to-text input capabilities, over the air to the popular smartphone, Motorola apologized for the delay on its Facebook page.

The Droid maker, which is betting the company on Android phones, added that it did not have a new date for the rollout. Droid users flamed Motorola and Verizon for prolonging the agony of waiting for the new software.

Engadget March 30 said it received an internal Verizon e-mail that said 1,000 users will receive notification of the update at noon, with another 9,000 getting a heads-up at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

According to the e-mail, Verizon will then wait a full 24 hours before releasing the new software to 200,000 users beginning at 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 1. This schedule will continue daily until all Droid users have received Android 2.1 over the air.

Other caveats, according to the e-mail, are that users may not make or receive calls during the upgrade. Customers also won't receive the upgrade if they are roaming.

Also, devices must have at least 40 percent of power availability if the device is not connected to an external power source or 20 percent or more power if it is connected to an external source.

Verizon and Motorola spokespeople confirmed

Phandroid and other gadget blogs confirmed the rollout is happening with pictures from Droid users.

Verizon launched the Droid last November with Android 2.0, which at the time was the latest version of Google's open-source platform.

While the device sold more than 1 million units in less than three months, it became clear after Google released its Android 2.1-based Nexus One Jan. 5 that users craved the features offered by that device. Users' frustrations over the upgrade delays prove that.

Google Silent on Plans to Solve Android Fragmentation with 'Froyo' Tweet

Google declines to comment on a report from Engadget that it was mulling a move to make applications and components normally integrated on Android smartphones available through Android Market for users to download on their own schedule. Android has come under scrutiny because there have been so many versions released in just a few short years. Forrester Research Charles Golvin tells eWEEK that if Google does decouple its applications it would be a tacit acknowledgment that Android has become fragmented.

If Google is really planning to roll out a version of Android that mitigates the gross fragmentation issue among smartphones based on that operating system, the company is keeping it to itself.

Google declined to comment on a report from Engadget that it was considering a move to make applications and components normally integrated on Android smartphones available through Android Market for users to download at will.

Android, while praised for being open source, has weathered criticism because there are have been a handful of versions of the platform released in just a few short years. Consumers can go to Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile stores and Google's own Web store to find devices based on Android OS versions 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1.

Choice is good in any free market. However, building applications and hardware without uniform interoperability is a risky venture. While Apple controls everything on its iPhone, Android's open-source provenance lends itself to decisions based on several criteria, including hardware manufacturer, carrier, region and customized software.

The fragmentation issue surfaced with the advent of some Google applications. Google received plenty grief over releasing applications such as Google Maps Navigation for Android 2.0, which first worked only on the Motorola Droid, before Google made it compatible with Android 1.6 devices such as Motorola's Cliq and Devour smartphones.

Android phone owners went through a similar period of exasperation earlier in March when Google released Gesture Search first for devices running Android 2.0 and up, then for Android 1.6. If there is a theme, it is one of consistent frustration.

Engadget has heard that Google is planning a salve for these wounds, beginning with the Android version code-named Froyo and continuing through "Gingerbread."

"We've been given reason to believe that the company will start by decoupling many of Android's standard applications and components from the platform's core and making them downloadable and updatable through the Market, much the same as they've already done with Maps," Engadget said March 29.

With applications available through Android Market, users won't have to wait for smartphone makers and carriers to push out staggered upgrades to devices. See the latest debacle over Verizon and Motorola trying to push Android 2.1 to the Droid.

While a Google spokesperson said the company would not comment on unreleased products, Forrester Research analyst Charles Golvin told eWEEK that if Google did decouple applications in this vein it would be a tacit acknowledgment that Android has become fragmented.

But it would be a welcome move. Golvin expects Android to blossom significantly in 2010, with smartphones, tablets and set-top boxes saturating the market.

However, this growth could be threatened if developers are increasingly frustrated by their inability to tap the complete market with an application without descending into version hell.

"That's something that Google would have to address," Golvin said, adding that while developers he has spoken with are comfortable with Android now, they fear the fragmentation may worsen.

Elan Seeks to Block Apple Ipad Sales Over Patent Tweet

Elan Microelectronics Corp., a Taiwanese maker of chips and touch-screens, asked a U.S. trade agency to ban the import and sale of some Apple Inc. products, including the forthcoming iPad, because of alleged patent infringement.

Elan’s complaint filed yesterday with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington claims Apple “knowingly and deliberately” used Elan’s technology, while continuing to introduce infringing products, the company claims in the complaint. The petition also seeks to ban imports of the iPhone and iPod Touch products, Elan said in the complaint.

“Our goal is to protect our technology and to stop sales of those products in the U.S.,” Dennis Liu, spokesman for Hsinchu, Taiwan-based Elan, said by phone today.

Apple’s MacBook and Magic Mouse also use technology which infringes an Elan patent for detecting the simultaneous presence of two or more fingers, according to the filing. Apple has started taking early orders for the iPad computer tablet, which had been unveiled in January.

Unfair Practices

The ITC is a government agency set up to protect U.S. markets from unfair trade practices. If it agrees to investigate Elan’s complaint, it could finish its work in about 15 months.

The filing comes after Apple on March 2 said it lodged a complaint with the ITC against Taiwan’s HTC Corp. alleging its patents were breached.

Jill Tan, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment on the Elan suit.

Elan also sued Apple in April 2009 in federal court in California claiming infringement of the same patent. That patent was affirmed after a California district court found Synaptics Inc. infringed that same technology in a 2008 ruling, Elan said. Elan had also claimed another patent was infringed in that lawsuit.

Apple seeks to bar imports of HTC phones into the U.S., claiming the Taoyuan, Taiwan-based company infringed 20 of its patents related to the implementation of operating systems and technology that allows users to operate the handset by touching the screen with their fingers.

The Elan and HTC cases are not related, Liu said.

The ITC claim is In the Matter of Certain Electronic Devices with Multi-Touch Enabled Touchpads and Touchscreens, No. 2719, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).
