To that end, 2010 saw the release of two Google-branded smartphones, the Nexus One and the newly arrived Nexus S. Now that Apple has almost single-handedly defined the tablet market for Samsung and the rest, we want to see a Google-branded tablet computer based on the forthcoming Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS. Maybe it’s this Motorola machine Android head Andy Rubin showed off last month. Or maybe Google wants to launch a Chrome OS tablet to accompany its Cr-48 notebook. We think a Google-branded tablet with the latest Google software could play well as an iPad alternative.
In a conversation with eWEEK, Google Maps creator John Hanke mentioned that Google really wants to jazz up its Street View feature. Specifically, he mentioned the augmented reality technology of Layar, which could be used to enhance the information provided to consumers in Street View. Sounds like a match made in heaven to us.
Google Apps should get some enhanced social functionality. Take the same Google Docs example. Instead of just being able to email a document, you can blast it out to contacts on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. This could be part of or independent from the Google +1 efforts. But it would be fun to broadcast some Apps content to popular social network services.
We love Google Instant predictive search, and that it’s now available on mobile devices. But now that Google has set the bar so high, we want Instant functionality across all of Google’s searchable properties, including Images, Maps and YouTube.
