Rumours are doing rounds saying Google might be buying Skype from eBay.

London’s webbist community is rife with rumour that Google is negotiating to buy Skype from eBay. Although this is nothing more than a rumour it fits nicely into Google’s plan of shaking (read scaring the hell out of) the mobile industry. This is particularly significant due to Google’s recent announcement about their own open mobile OS named Android.

What are your thought on this?

 

Although the handset with android OS is still a year away, you can start developing application for it. So when the handsets are finally out you can start deploying those apps.

To help you with it here’s a very quick look at developing application for Android. The developer is Dan Morill.

 

Google has just unveiled “early look” SDK for android mobile os. If you want to take a closer look you can download it from Open Handset Alliance.In a glance, it looks quite promising. Although, it may not look as cool as the Mac os x on iPhone / iPod touch,  the whole point of this google OS is its openness. This means anybody can write application for this application without any restriction . It is highly customized allowing you to control each and every aspect of your phone. This is a very big plus as compared to other platforms. Google has also announced $10 million for the best application. So let’s start coding!
