My friend Janakan just got a Google Andriod. I think they’re pretty cool along with the Palm Pre and iPhone. Abduction on Google Android is great :-P Anyway one thing the iPhone could improve is adding a central notifications area to show all push notifications. The way I’d see this working is to swipe right from the home screen to where spotlight/search is now, and show a chronological list of all notifications for all apps. Then if you start typing it starts to search your iPhone as usual.

This week marks the anniversary of Star Trek’s original pilot episode “The Cage”, and with it, the first appearance of the iconic Communicator. As one of the inspirations for today’s mobile devices, the Communicator did more than just long-range voice calls; in fact, many of its locator and universal translation services still outpace today’s state of the art. What’s more, the Communicator was so critical to the daily workings of Starfleet that cadets’ 4-year curriculum included mandatory courses in communications engineering. Today’s brand of mobile user doesn’t need four years to figure out their phone. But this week, and with a tip of the hat to the USS Enterprise for the Communicator’s anniversary, we did want to celebrate all things mobile by sharing some of Google’s favorite mobile tips and tricks. All week long, we’re going to be tweeting and blogging our top tips for using Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and more on your phone. We want to help every cadet go mobile, and get more out of their existing phone. Cadets with questions can ask them here until 11:59 PM Pacific Time, Tuesday night. Keep an eye on the Google Mobile Blog for answers to some of your questions on Wednesday, and tips for advertisers and developers later in the week. Everyone can boldly go… mobile!
