Google translator phone; CNN interviews Google policy analyst
An article in the Australian Herald Sun (and noted in the Beyond Search blog) states that within a few years Google will have a working translator phone. Yes, you heard right. You speak English, and the guy on the other end hears Mandarin (or French or…). This is, as Beyond Search noted, a very Star Trek-y advance in communications.
In other news, CNN interviewed Derek Slater, a policy analyst at Google about universality of access and the benefits of improving broadband in the U.S.

Google took an interesting step recently by adding a service called App Licensing to the Android SDK. I haven’t looked at it in detail, but the gist of it is that it’s a license validation system for third party apps. It allows third party apps to check with the Android Marketplace to see if it’s authorized to run on the particular device

It all began with the G1, the very first commercially available Android. And today, we learn that there is a $150 Android based tablet and $99 netbook from Augen to be sold at Kmart.

Both Google and developers are probably unhappy with the current copy-protection mechanism that protects apps available in Android Market, so Google is releasing a new licensing service for applications. Created for all paid apps in Android Market (Android 1.5 or newer), the licensing service allows developers to “query the Android Market licensing server to determine the license status of their users.” Google plans to replace the current Android app copy-protection mechanism with the new, safer service in the next few months. More on Google’s new licensing service (including how to implement it into your apps) can be found at the Android Developers website

Android users don’t dislike their devices quite as much as previous (and inaccurate) reports indicated, apparently. On Monday, the Yankee Group made sure to correct CNN Money’s interpretation of its data. In fact, the earlier CNN Money story said that while 77 percent of iPhone owners said they would buy another iPhone, only 20 percent of Android customers said the same about another Android phone
