It was recently announced that Google is launching a new exclusively smartphone AdWords feature for businesses wishing to advertise products and services with Google. This service is geared towards mainly the G1 which features the Google and Android OS and also the Apple iPhone 3G. Google ads on the iPhone? Talk about ubiquity!

Although this is geared towards those phones mentioned above this service is going to function on any smartphone that is using a full fledged HTML browser. This is going to be useful for advertisers getting a grip on that new internet crowd who have become cyber-aware recently through their smartphone purchases.

Although to the user this isn’t going to mean much more than a few extra ads on your browser, for us on the consumer end we are hoping that this will ultimately lead to lower costs of phones and services as there will be much more ad revenue coming just from people using their phone.

How do you guys feel about it? Do you want less ads, or do you think this may lead to better and cheaper service in the long run? Shout out how you feel!

It’s hard not to feel the effects of the iPhone everywhere. It’s even harder if you’re a mobile manufacturer trying to keep up with the amazing dent it has put into the mobile smartphone market. However if you’re Nokia you’ve most likely have your team of resident geniuses working on a defense strategy.

With the recent announcement of the N97 many folks out there are still drooling over the possibilities of that sleek, QWERTY keyboard phone, but the cynics amongst us are still wondering if keys are just a thing of the past and we all have to get on the touch screen train.

As usual Nokia has failed to disappoint. Unfortunately details are limited to the picture above that was taken from a presentation at  Nokia’s Capital Market Day 2008, but these presentations are usually meant to entice investors into sinking some dough into new projects.

The picture shows an edge-to-edge fully touchscreen interface, smart widgets, multiple home screens and integrated services.

The actual announcement of any phone using this interface or model has yet to come, but we can have some faith in Nokia for being able to consistently produce some quality products. Hopefully we’ll be seeing a few more solid details on these developments soon.

Do you think that Nokia is going to be able to compete on the full touch, smart phone market?
