While Apple and its latest version of the iPhone, 3GS, have topped recent headlines, there is still a tremendous amount of buzz building about Google’s phone, nicknamed the gPhone. Michael Martin, who maintains a Google-approved blog for Android information called Google And Blog, predicts the summer to be promising for Android and says there will be 18 Android devices circulating by the end of this year.
The phone manufacturers of Android include HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, and Huawei. The service providers are T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Rogers, and Vodaphone. Michael said Sprint would jump on board next year as well.
So, how are Apple and iPhone lovers responding to all this hype? To that question, Michael answered, “That’s a good question!” The primary difference between Android and Apple is that Android is open source and Apple is not. Michael does not believe Apple will relinquish its control and compares the situation to the 1980’s scenario of Mac vs. PC.
What do you think of all this buzz? Are you an iPhone fan or are you anxious to get your hands on Google’s Ion?

Twitter has produced a hot new trend: real-time search. There is hardly a day that goes by within the Internet industry that real-time search is not mentioned. To feed this new hunger for real-time information, real-time search engines such as Twitter Search, Scoopler, Collecta, Topsy, CrowdEye, and more are popping up all around.
Unlike the traditional search engines, these real-time search engines return the most current information from the Web in the form of blog content and comments, Twitter messages, images and video, social services, news sources, and more.
Why does our society crave this continuous stream of information? Collecta CEO Gerry Campbell told WebProNews that this need to publish and consume information actually goes back to ancient times.

Googlers Sundar Pichai and Linus Upson announced on Wednesday that the company was embarking on a new project: the Google Chrome Operating System. After the Web browser launched last year, many people anticipated a Google OS as the company’s next move.
Google Chrome OS is open source and will initially be intended for netbooks; however, the system is said to be equipped to power large desktop systems as well. The three main aspects of the operating system are speed, simplicity, and security. Although Google will construct its own windowing system, the new OS will run on top of the kernel from the open source Linux OS.
According to the Google blog post making the announcement, the OS will not be available to consumers until the second half of 2010.
