I am loving the Google application ethos.
Their product just seems to work, no fuss, simple, efficient and reliable.
I was particularly joyous with their mobile application, partly thanks to the new 3 G speeds.
Google maps is working perfectly on work road trips, book marking regular cities, plotting the route from the air port & hotel, not to mention their new mobile tower triangulation that works in lifts & underground car parks.
The joys of triangulation, Pythagoras would be chuffed!
It wonderfully meshes with the mobile handset, it is so redundant having to buy a GPS system for a few hundred bucks which stays in the car, just put Google maps on your phone.
You could also flash your handset, install Tom Tom and get a blue tooth GPS receiver for $80.00, what about using your WiFi connection on your N series Nokia to make VOIP calls there by bypassing your mobile carrier, but the networks are not promoting that in Oz, erodes revenues. I digress…
The other wonderful thing is it’s ease of use which we have become used to in regards to search.
I Googled some new business book titles while I was at the book shop, it is having a wonderful flow on effect in society and commerce.
A few months ago there is know way in regional Australia I could of had such pleasant experience.
Well done Google.
