Everything Google touches turns to gold so this is probably a good move for Sony.


Speaking of that here's an interesting article:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/146101/top_10_google_flubs_flops_and_failures.html

This one will probably make it to the top of that list since they couldn't even get Google Player off the ground and this will be orders of magnitude harder to pull off.

That has been Google's strategy though, throw ideas at the wall and see what sticks. They have the money to do it that way, I mean last year they made a yearly profit of around $US10 billion, and they have a pretty big kitty saved up for a rainy day. Not to mention many of these products are the pet projects of individual employees at Google which get Google's blessing to turn into an actual product.

I don't know if this will work either, but having TV's with built in Android or ChromeOS would be great.

You know what's weird, I keep reading about people and their time machines on VG Chartz, eveyone and their cat has one. 

It could be a flop, it could also be the most succesful thing to ever happen. You don't know what will happen and neither do I. All we have right now is that Google is one of the most succesful companies in the world for a good reason and if we combine that talent with Sony, then it may lead to good thing's later on for the PS3 or HDTV's or Blue Ray player's or whatever.

I also read the Top 10, it was pretty much small project's that didn't work out. I could name 10 thing's that Apple, Yahoo and Microsoft have also stuffed up over the year's.

 



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

They recently made a game with Nintendo that bombed so hard in japan, everyone thought it was the next Hiroshima there.



This is great. Yes, I will pay for this service.

Lol, okay I didn't really mean everything.  I meant it as more of a general term.  In other words: Google is usually very successful.

for over the past 6 month's Google has been buying an indie company or even more of those little companies a month...

recent:

Google to buy VoIP, videoconferencing company

http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20005225-264.html

another from feb 2010

Google snapped up Remail on Wednesday, and the first thing it did was to cut Remail's ties with Apple's App Store.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-30684_3-10455446-265.html

an another one in FEB 2010

Google buys social media site Aardvark

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2010/02/google-buys-social-media-site-aardvark.htm

call it an obsession, or a internet communication's kick, the fact that Google is doing this is quite an eye opener.

You could combine all those companies except Google, and Google would still win.

Google > all!



A Closer Look at Sony’s New Skin for Android Phones

“We have done extensive skinning of the Android platform. because we really wanted to make it a bespoke experience,” says George Arriola, head of user experience for Sony Ericcson.

Sony’s UXP interface attempts to do the same thing as rivals like Motorola’s MotoBLUR: namely, aggregate social networking feeds such as Facebook and Twitter into one stream, integrate that data with your phone address book and contacts, and personalize the multimedia experience.

“We took a very sophisticated PlayStation middleware and shrunk it to fit the Android OS,” says Arriola.

sony and google sitting in a tree, k.i.s.s.i.n.g..lol
