[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 520347, member: 259515"] At the internet search behemoth’s annual conference, Google showed off a number of new features for its new Android open-source mobile operating system. Although Google representatives remained as tight-lipped as ever, the system is still on course to be released by the end of the year, so the notion Android is nearly completely seems to hold water. [B]Touching features[/B] Of the interesting features on display, some really grabbed the eye, including a method of unlocking the phone by drawing a shape on the touch screen, rather than using a password. Another noteworthy idea using Google Maps in association with GPS to register the direction the user is facing, turning the phone into a real-time compass. The handset on display was not given an official moniker, but if someone had said it was the HTC Dream, the development handset rumoured a few months ago, it wouldn’t have been a huge surprise. The event clarified the feeling that once the OS is released, the mobile world will spiral towards sporting mobile computers instead of just phones sooner rather than later.
