Indeed, the Google’s downloading platform should be developped in professional version. Thus, Blackberry’s environment is clearly mentioned.

According to several sites specialized in mobile telephony, Google is about to introduce a “Business” version of the Android Market which aim is to better target professionals and businesses. It seems that this innovation would be launched next week.

The significant role of developers

Andy Rubin, head of the division of Google Android explained last summer that “Android will target nomadix employees in addition to public functions as Social Networking”. Moreover, he added that “today Android offers very little business applications, but in the future, the company will be the focus of our developments”.

However, Google doesn’t give more details on this information but we can imagine a sophisticated mobile declinationof “Google Apps”, a set of business that Google could suggest against an anual subscription.

The objective is clear: the Blackberry supremacy is in the crosshairs. According to Gartner’s figures, in 2009, Blackberry OS had a global market share of 19.9% for 34.3 million equipped handsets.

However, the iPhone OS is very close, its market share rose 6.2 point to 14.4% with 24.9 million handsets.

Meanwhile, Android advance as quickly with its market share that progresses with 3.4 points, the second annual performance of 3.9% to 7 million units equipped. Thus, RIM, the Blackberry’s maker, has to worry about it despite its World App. However, it is necessary to remind that many of the pro Blackberry applications are created specifically for business.

We can conclude that by targeting companies, Android could therefore boost its market success with references that are constantly renewed.

But one question remains unanswered: how Android will succeed in convncing developers who currently focus on free and general public applications? Thus, developers are central concerns of Google, because without them the Android Market will have “business” just as name.

Indeed, we found this year at 3GSM that fewer exhibitors were present; there were fewer visitors, and few innovative product announcement from major manufacturers. This leads to a half-tones record that leave an impression rather disappointing.

Logical or not, this conference is inked in a period of crisis which is nevertheless marked by the advent of Android and the announcement of Windows Phone 7 Series.

Two new browsers for iPhone and Blackberry

First of all, there is the “Opera Mini” for the iPhone with the publisher Opera Software that claims a speed improvement through better data compession. However multicast is absent. A question remains unanswered : is Apple going validate this alternative browser on its Apple Store? Because the firm has relaxed its policy and now it tolerates browsers, Opéra Minni is positioned as a big competitor for Safari.

On the other hand, for Blackberry, RIM has introduced a new browser that should simplify navigation. This browser is based on Webkit (like the iPhone) and it should have much more flexibility and ergonomics. It will be available in the coming months.

Sony: the Xperia X10 Mini, the ideal solution for professionals

The X10 Mini Pro Xperia Sony Ericsson seems to be a must. Its terminak with an organize size – smaller than a business card – and with a sliding keyboard makes this mobile so singular besause of its thinness and its power.

Unusual Innovations

The Japanese DoCoMo has invented a helmet that is controlled through eye movements. It plugs into an MP3 player and allows for example to increase the volume by looking down, but also move to another song looking up to heaven.

Texas Instrument

The U.S giant has introduced the new generation of “pico-projectors” that are able of producing higher resolution through the switch from VGA to WVGA. It’s a technology that connects directly to the smartphone.

In conclusion, it is on a rather disppointing that closes the 2010 edition of the Mobile World Congress, with a lack of truly innovative products from leading manufacturers like Nokia, Samsung or LG. However, HTC has managed to stay at the forefront of new models with Android and its interface Sense rather successful. The biggest news is for the mobile OS with Bada Samsung and the  promising Windows Phone 7 Series of Microsoft, the most significant product of the show.
