Live from Eric Schmidt’s keynote during MWC 2010
6:23PM “It’s the goal to make mobile be a answer to pretty most everything.” As well as it’s over — no announcements, though lots of hairy feel-good out of Google here. Q&A time!
6:21PM He’s unequivocally pushing a “Mobile Initial” mantra. Eric’s making it flattering c lear that this is Google’s focus.
6:20PM As well as we’re behind to Eric — Erick’s left a stage.
6:18PM Talking about Haiti as well as the purpose smartphones have played there — privately with content summary gift campaigns, though Erick’s additionally articulate up a updated Haiti heavenlybody imagery from just two days after the earthquake.
6:18PM Now we’re saying Google Earth. “What’s extraordinary about Google Earth is the ability to teach and inform.”
6:17PM Full Peep 10.1 experience — not Peep Lite. In use, that means that you’ll get hardware-accelerated harmony with flattering much any Peep applet you encounter upon the interwebs.
6:15PM “Everybody here, get off WiFi.” Seriously, discussit us about it. Both 3G as well as WiFi are crapping out. Sorry, folks!
6:14PM Peep upon Android. He’s demoing a New York Times — “as we can see, all a components are there.” We see what you’re you do, Erick. Really clever.
6:14PM He’s starting to show up a couple demos demonstrating the “blurring of a lines” in between desktop and mobile computing.
6:13PM The child Erick Tseng’s upon a stage! Schmidt introduced him as “the most appropriate student he ever had at Stanford.” Aww!
6:11PM We’re seeing lots of German denunciation action here — voice searc h and impression recognition comparison. It’s not terribly fast, which — we guessed it — is being bl amed upon the crappy 3G here. LTE, here you come?
6:10PM “You jotdown a audio and tide it in real ti me to the interpretation centers — a servers map your utterances to expected difference and phrases, then those are compared to a many renouned queries. This explains alittle of a quality you see here. It wasn’t even phased by my clever accent.”
6:06PM Now Google is demoing voice poke. Voice search people. Some day we won’t even need hands. We heard it here initial — Google has obsoleted fingers.
6:05PM So distant Eric’s highlyevolved ideas about openness and connectedness are kind of a fun in light of the fact which you can barely bond here as well as we’re not being allowed to take photos. Flattering cold Google!
6:04PM Just another note from group Engadget, ladies as well as gentlemen — we’re being banned from taking pictures. We can pull you a mental picture, though: it’s Eric Schmidt standing upon a theatre, only like on a initial picture during the tip. We guarantee you’re not blank much.
6:03PM Voice approval was historically the disaster since phones were conjunction powerful enough nor capacious sufficient to swallow a database. The sea change is function rightaway which a database lives in the cloud cover and phones have the wide-enough siren to strech them — Schmidt’s mental condition is to be able to talk to folks who verbalise alternative languages. Which would’ve come in accessible last night when we attempted to sequence pizza here in Barcelona, we know?
6:01PM Eric believes in the princple called “mobile initial” — which sounds similarto the huge change, but not unequivocally — when you consider about it, Google’s initial product (web poke, which is) works only good upon any complicated smartphone.
6:00PM “Because the mobile phone? Because it’s the high-volume endpoint. It’s not since we’re good people or something.” So Google’s evil after all? Say it ain’t so!
5:58PM He’s talking up a importance of MWC as evidenced by the series of big-name corporations creation an appearance here (Google, of march, included). Apps foolaround a outrageous role in that.
5:58PM “I was shocked to learn that the US would be deploying LTE shortly!” Us aswell, Eric… us too.
5:57PM Sorry folks, we’ve been struggling with connection issues here — it wouldn’t be a mobile traffic uncover without a small irony, would it?
5:45PM Okay, a lights have been down, as well as there’s alittle feeling GSMA promotion on screen!
We’ve only been ushered into a rather enormous Auditorium 1 of Gymnasium 5 during Mobile World Congress 2010 where we’re available nothing alternative than Google arch Eric Schmidt to take a stage. What’s in store — Hum news? Android buzz? Buzz hum? Read on to find out!
