As reported by Engadget, Google [GOOG] has announced that they will hold a press conference (“a gathering” of sorts) to discuss their comings-and-goings with Android and, presumably (based upon the recent reporting) the upcoming Nexus One smartphone.
Sure, the Android based phones have been out for quite some time now…
But the curiosity and excitement around Google’s [GOOG] Nexus One smartphone seems to be reaching a, sort of, fever pitch.
Makes you wonder whether Apple [AAPL] will have some new iPhone/iPod touch news to deliver that will take some of the shine away from Nexus One… Or perhaps the hotly anticipated news about a Mac tablet form factor will grab the spotlight…
Now that Google [GOOG] has finally ‘fessed up to attempting to enter the smartphone market, a la Apple [AAPL] and its iPhone, the cell carrier of choice appears to be, once again, T-Mobile.
Today, Google [GOOG] has finally made the source code to the Chromium OS available to developers at large, as well as other interested parties.
Adobe Systems [ADBE] has announced that it will buy Omniture [OMTR].
While it sounds like a great deal for Omniture, it does not quite make sense for Adobe, except for the oddity known as tracking Flash access metrics. Flash is an oddball interpreted secondary-runtime based display technology that has lasted quite some time, with gradual changes to its performance and development aspects.
Does expanding outside of its graphics roots to encompass Web metrics allow Adobe to bolster its development tools portfolio, or does it place the company squarely in the targeting sights of Google [GOOG]?
You knew it was going to happen eventually… YouTube [GOOG] would have to follow in the footsteps of other Google properties in using some sort of ad-based revenue model.
It’s coming now: for user-generated/uploaded content, YouTube/Google will somehow ask users whether they would like to allow ads to be applied to their videos, and if yes, then those users would get a bit of the ad revenue.
Is Google’s [GOOG] new “Caffeine” going to cause problems for the respectable netizens of the Internet? And how bad will it hurt disciplined SEO mechanisms?
Which is better: Google Analytics or WordPress.com Stats?
Is Google [GOOG] trying to fetch all of Twitter, too?

Hmm… Chrome OS, anyone?
