Android devices are quickly approaching the number of iPhone devices. Also Android is available on all major US mobile carriers including AT&T which is the sole provider for the iPhone. Looking into the future, it is possible for Android to surpass iOS. Stay tuned for the release of Android 3.0 to try and take even a bigger chunk of market share.

When you do an image search, we find that it is typical that you will look through many pages of search results. So in the redesign of Google Image Search for mobile, available today for iPhone 3.0+ and Android 2.1 devices, we focused on making it easy to quickly see as many image thumbnails as possible:

  • The thumbnails are square to maximize the number of images we can get on the screen at one time so you can scan them quickly
  • You can swipe to see the next or previous page of results, or tap the large, stationary ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ page buttons
  • We optimized for speed so that the images appear quickly when you browse

When it comes to viewing the images, we now make them as large as possible by introducing a special image viewing page:

  • The black background emphasizes the image and the buttons fade after a few seconds so you can just see images with little distraction
  • Easily browse through the images by swiping from picture to picture

It’s been confirmed by Google that they working on a tablet to compete with the Apple iPad. This new tablet will be running on the popular Android Operating System. They have already announced plans for an e-book store to launch within the next few months.

We are also expecting later this year that the Chrome OS will be released on several netbooks.
