Google Phone Gets Multi Touch, Goggles and More
The past couple of weeks have been full of Apple goodness, particularly because of the launch of the Apple iPad. The newfangled gizmo is being set up as the next big thing in home and digital electronics and it looks like the buzz is far from being over.
Oddly enough, the hype on the iPad distracted many in mobile industry from the recently launched Google phone, the Nexus One. The holiday season was full of reports and rumors regarding the device; but the actual launch itself went without much fanfare and the device enjoyed a very low-scale market acceptance. All in all, only 20,000 units of the Google phone were sold in the first week of sales, and there was little to almost no interest in the device to follow for the rest of the month.
Looks like Google is shoving their lead star back into the limelight with some much needed updates. First off, the Nexus One has been criticized heavily for its many 3G problems –some devices were reported to switch over to EDGE despite being in an area with good 3G signals. The recently released patch for the Google phone will be fixing this issue along with some other yet to be mentioned bugs.
Aside from fixes, the patch will also deliver updates and new features to the Google phone. Now, users will be able to take full advantage of the 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen with the activation of multi touch features. For the 5 mega pixel camera, users will be able to point and learn with the Google Goggles. Even the Google Maps application is getting a quick update in the form of version 3.4. The update can be obtained online through download.
