“GPhone” will no longer appear, replaced by “Andriod” – a mobile open-source operating system. Android has become a direct competitor of Windows Mobile, the open source development is the first experiment. Recently, Google held a contest ,from third-party developers for the development of Android of the most innovative applications, a total of more than 1,700 programmers took part in the contest.

Application of these entries, including those based on the global positioning system GPS applications, for example, one application is to allow users of his current location to call a taxi, there is an application that allows users to find the location of friends, they understand What to do and to participate in their plans, such information can be real-time tracking.

Finnish because of their strange and difficult grammar machine translation, each of its terms may be derived from a lot of information. Some other language as the language vary greatly, so that translation has become very complicated. Those who have Stemming the same or similar language can be relatively easy to translate, for example from French to English. “
