Google on the iPhone

I've heard that Google had launched an application to compete with the iPhone and that it was less good than the iPhone itself. Google announced its competitor to the iPhone Apps Store, the Android Market, at the end of August. The market is a place where content developers can publish applications for Android phones, and Android users can go to discover and download them to their devices.

Let Google say a word :

"Developers will be able to make their content available on an open service hosted by Google that features a feedback and rating system similar to YouTube. We chose the term "market" rather than "store" because we feel that developers should have an open and unobstructed environment to make their content available."

I've read that there is a new Facebook app too. FB has launched a new iPhone application, that directly targets messaging service Twitter as well as for-pay mobile text messaging services. The new application is a mobile status service that includes instant messaging functionality. It builds on Facebook friend relationships, but ignores a lot of the traditional social networking features of the site, such as profile info about what your favorite movie is.
