Google Growth

Google I/O is going on right now in San Francisco and I wish I was there. I did have the luxury of watching the two keynotes. Can you believe that over 300,000 Android devices are activated each day? I wonder how many iOS devices are activated each day. Google also announced that the Chromebook will be available through BestBuy.com and Amazon.com starting June 15th. A boot time of 8 seconds and all-day battery life are just two of the main perks of one of these devices.  They'll also have Wi-Fi and 3G models with Verizon internet service available.  Google is now banking on the fact that you can do ANYTHING on the web including things like photo and video editing sharing, CAD, music management, word processing, email, calendar, etc.  There are now over 160,000,000 Chrome installations worldwide. For those of you who don't know what Chrome is yet go get it! It's a browser alternative to Internet Explorer and Firefox. Faster, lighter, more compliant with current standards, and simply awesome.

Don't forget one of the biggest announcements of the day...  Angry Birds is now available for Chrome.  Download it now at the Chrome Web Store.
