Google is presenting innovative features for its Android mobile phone software, as well as touch-screen technology, range capabilities and games. Though, officials would not provide a final date for release of the technology. At the Google I/O developer conference engineering director for Android, showed the touch-screen capabilities by using a swiping motion to glow up dots on the demo phone in the form of a "G" to unlock the phone for use. He said users could set up whatever gesture they required to serve as a "password" to release the phone. So far while Android supports touch-screens, they are not essentially a must on all devices.

"The sense is if you have an app on your desktop, there shouldn't be any cause you can't run it on your earpiece. In the meantime, through a keynote address, Horowitz showed Google Street View on the handset and displayed the new range characteristics of the technology where the Street View monitor followed the direction of the user and twisted left or right with the person clutching the phone. Google Street View is a trait of Google Maps and Google Earth that affords 360-degree panoramic street-level views and permit users to view parts of chosen cities and their nearby metropolitan areas at ground level.

He too showed zooming traits for enlarging things on the Android display, a new announcement system for calendar events, missed calls or new e-mail, a desktop-like request launcher and a edition of the Pac-Man game. Even though Google and the OHA (Open Handset Alliance) of 34 companies mounting Android have been disapproved for not opening up expansion of the platform, still it thinks it an open-source attempt in that the OHA will let go the code to the society once it is confirms.

Android is a software heap for mobile plans that contains a working system, middleware and key applications. It consists of a Linux kernel, a set of core libraries that gives most of the functionality obtainable in the center libraries of the Java programming language, a set of C/C++ libraries, a request framework and a set of core applications. Android also characteristics an included browser based on the open-source WebKit browser engine.

"I believe the old replica of stare at this was the browser wars; now we're considering the hot soup of novelty. The Android technology should be prepared to ship in the second half of 2008.
