Alright, it's been a while since we've had one of these threads. What are you currently waiting for google to do?
Here's my list: * Use Gizmo5 to link Google Voice and Google Talk to support conference (audio and video) calling and VoIP (coming with the Nexus One?) * Finish aquiring On2 and open their codecs * YouTube 2.0 http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/12/what-might-we-see-in-youtube-20.html * Platypus/Google Web Drive/Cosmo (although the cloud is really starting to scare me, it's just so damn convenient)! * Cease to be publicly traded and become a worker-owned cooperative (I wish!) * Did I miss anything major? |
(OT but still related) I recommend you to watch http://live.twit.tv right now (The Week in Google with Leo Laporte, Jeff Jarvis & co). They know quite well the topic and discuss most opportunities/threats that Google faces. |
Ah, our annual Google Wishlist! Looking back the only major request that we haven't got is GDrive :P
So my list is: * GDrive * Google voice in countries other than the US * Offline Gmail in Chrome on Linux (Gears/HTML5/Magic) * Google Earth Wii Channel (Yes I have the Homebrew WiiEarth but a 3D version would be cool) |
My wishlist: * Google Earth for Android * Something like Microsoft's Bird Eye in Google Maps * Google Navigation in Europe * Better look and feel of Android * Multitouch on Android * Offline suport in GMail and Docs implemented via HTML5 * Nexus One for less than 300$ * SPDY (support in Chrome and Google servers, release of opensourced libs for client and server) * Progress on Native Client * Keep Bing's market share flat ;) |
1. GDrive 2. Higher AdSense earnings
That would keep me happy for the next 12 months. |
Oh, how could i forget!
Google Checkout NEEDS to support all the cool stuff PayPal does. Easy transactions, monthly payments, and if they want to 1-up PayPal, they can (and should) allow for micropayments/threshold pledge system |
