The Nexus One is a rumored upcoming smartphone from Google that will run the Android mobile operating system. The device is expected to be manufactured by HTC Corporation for a possible Jan 5, 2010 release (Google have now announced a press event on January 5th at Mountain View which they are calling a Android press gathering.) On December 12, 2009 Google confirmed in a blog post that they have begun internal testing of the device. Google has stated that a "mobile lab device" has been given to its employees but has not yet confirmed if it will eventually be sold to consumers. Wireless phone and data services for the phone are not activated nor billed to Google, it is up to the employees to activate and pay for wireless service on their own.

Google Goggles: Use pictures to search the web.
A picture is worth a thousand words.No need to type your search anymore. Just take a picture.
Find out what businesses are nearby.Just point your phone at a store.
This is just the beginning - it's not quite perfect yet.Works well for some things, but not for all.
Your pictures, your control.Turn on 'visual search history' to view or share your pictures at any time. Turn it off to discard them once the search is done.
Google Goggles is a visual search app for Android phones. Instead of using words, take a picture of an object with your camera phone: we attempt to recognize the object, and return relevant search results. Goggles also provides information about businesses near you by displaying their names directly in the camera preview.

Google Chrome extensions
Google Chrome extensions are a great way to add more features and functionality to the browser. Sometimes, a feature is really useful for some people, but not for everyone. Extensions let you customize Google Chrome with features you like, while keeping your browser free of clutter that you don't use.
Extensions are currently available on Google Chrome Beta for Windows and Linux, and on the Dev channel build for Mac.
