The grapevine has it that Google may set aside its Google phone idea to get into wireless business, most probably next year. A company spokesperson has divulged that the search engine giant is keen to win the wireless spectrum in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auction, which is taking place next year. Richard Whitt of Google said that the company has not ruled in or out participating in the auction as a licensee. Apparently, Whitt is looking at the forthcoming FCC auction of wireless spectrum in the 700MHz band that can transmit signals for long distances brining down costs of building a network. Supposes Google wins the auction, it will build its own network and provide wireless services directly to the users. Image

Now mobile phone users can access Google Calendars and fix their schedules on their mobile phones. Search Engine giant, Google is offering new mobile version of Google Calendar with latest services. This new service will allow users to access their schedules from their cell phones. The mobile version of Google Calendar will display agenda of upcoming events with details like date, time, location, description and guest list. When users log onto Google Calendar from their Web-capable mobile phones, they would be able to see their appointments with details, which all are formatted in a way for easy reading on small screens. Users can scroll through the day’s events as well as previous and forthcoming events. Additionally, the new service also provides a link to Google Maps to find directions as well as an option to add new appointments. The new mobile service is useful for those Google Calendar users, who use the online service as their main scheduling tool. Google software engineer Devesh Parekh said, Since more people have mobile phones than computers, it makes sense to let them view appointments registered in their Google Calendar from handsets with Internet capability.
