CES: Samsung Phones Get Google

10 Jan, 2007, 9:00 am IST | by Priyanka Pradhan | Mobile phones

Samsung has announced a tie up with Google, which will enable users to surf Google's web products on Samsung mobile phones. The global cooperation will allow consumers to search information, find locations, and manage their email on the move.

Starting from early 2007, selected Samsung phones will be preloaded with a range of Google products and services such as Google Search, Google Maps for mobile and Gmail for mobile devices.

Deep Nishar, director of wireless products and strategy for Google Inc said, "Google is dedicated to providing users around the world with easier access information and services when they are mobile. Working with an industry leader like Samsung is a great way to accomplish that. Improving the mobile user experience is of paramount importance to both Samsung and Google, and by working together we’ll be able to bring the power, functionality, and convenience of Google search, Google Maps for mobile, and Gmail for mobile devices to millions of Samsung users across the globe."

Samsung has launched the Ultra Edition 13.8 (SGH-Z720), its first mobile handset installed with Google mobile search and Gmail services. The slim 3G Z720 is only 13.8mm in thinness. Future models will also be Google-ready for consumers.

Kitae Lee, President of Samsung's Telecommunication Network Business said, "We are very thrilled to introduce Samsung mobiles with one-click access to Google services. Our cooperation with Google exemplifies our commitment to leading the evolution from the fixed-Internet era to a mobile Internet era and ushering in a ubiquitous world where mobile enables our consumers to access information about anything, anywhere, anytime. Samsung and Google will enhance users’ mobile experience with a powerful, yet easy-to-use handset with simple access to information and personal management."
