Google Scoops Up Picnik
Filed in archive Tech News Around The World by Jason Giacchino on March 1, 2010
Google Scoops Up Picnik

Internet juggernaut Google has expanded its empire by acquiring online photo editing software called Picnik. The site gained notoriety by allowing users the ability to edit digital photos directly in their browsers (without having to download software).

Offering both a limited-feature free service and a full paid version that cost $25 annually, Picnik was serving some 2-million unique users each month.

The Picnik service will now be offered through Picasa, Google's photo storage site and the hot rumor is that perhaps a mobile variation of the site will begin coming as standard equipment in Google Android OS equipped devices.

Plans for a Worldwide App Store Advancing

Plans for a Worldwide App Store Advancing

Seen as a challenge to Apple's dominance in the app market, the Wholesale Applications Community (WAC) plans to create an open platform for delivering mobile applications across various mobile handsets.

While mobile apps have been immensely popular - an astounding $4.2 billion market in 2009 alone of which Apple can lay claim to approximately 99.4 percent!

But with many third-party and off-deck application stores emerging, fragmentation in the app industry is an increasing problem and a confusing issue for consumers supporting smartphones and PDAs other than Apple's.

Mobile subscribers are demanding more options and an easy purchasing process when it comes to apps regardless of which brand they support. The answer, at least as far as the WAC is concerned, would be to create a unified worldwide app store- kind of like the AppStore but for all brands.

As carriers, developers and subscribers consider the transition to a worldwide app store, so too does the need arise for a streamlined, consistent payment mechanism that can make the user experience simple and seamless.

Cell Phones Proving Invaluable for Olympics Viewing

Cell Phones Proving Invaluable for Olympics Viewing

For a long time the only way to witness the Olympics was to attend in person. Then television came along and viewers didn't have to leave the comfort of their home to enjoy the show. These days cellphones and the web are offering new alternatives to countless viewers.

According to the organizers, cell and web media has already matched the 20,000 hours from traditional broadcasters, contributing to a total audience estimated at roughly 3.5 billion (half the world's population).

To give some perspective to the magnitude of the Olympics broadcasting situation, consider this: NBC paid a staggering $2.2 billion for U.S. broadcast rights to the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics!

Amazon Kindle Comes to Blackberry

Amazon Kindle Comes to Blackberry

With Apple's iPad on the horizon and competition coming from all angles (Barnes & Nobel, Sony and so on), Amazon is wisely dropping free applications that allow their Kindle digital books to be enjoyed on various devices.

The latest word is that Amazon is launching a free Kindle application to give BlackBerry users access to over 420,000 books on their handsets.

The new program, aptly called "Kindle for Blackberry", will allow customers to buy and read Kindle books, most for $10 or less, directly from their device (including the Bold 9000 and 9700, Curve 8520 and 8900, Storm 9530 and 9550, and Tour 9630).
