Android strategy, Phase 3

SAN FRANCISCO--At U.S. Federal Court here this week, where Google is defending itself against allegations it used Oracle's Java technology without license to develop its Android mobile software, Google displayed growth statistics and adoption rates from 2010 showing Android's momentum over the past two years.

Key metrics outline Android's revenue growth and ad strategy, as well as projections for the music business growth and the roadmap going forward.

According to court documents, Google's Android strategy in 2010 was focused on extending the core business, and is moving into what is designated in the charts as "Phase 3: New Monetizable Services."

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
