Google CEO Reveals Details On What's Next For Android (GOOG)

Google CEO Eric Schmidt offered some details about the next version of Android in a question-and-answer session at Mobile World Congress earlier today.

An audience member questioned Schmidt about Google's fragmented OS strategy, with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) for smartphones, Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) for tablets, and Chrome for netbooks.

Schmidt said that the next version of Android will be out in about six months, and will consolidate features from both 2.3 and 3.0 in a single platform.

He explained that the Android codenames are in alphabetical order -- G for Gingerbread, H for Honeycomb -- and confirmed the next codename would be a dessert beginning with the letter I. The likely name: Ice Cream Sandwich.

Schmidt also said that he wished Nokia had chosen Android instead of Windows Phone 7, and that he hopes Nokia will embrace Android in the future.

Apart from Android, he also said that Chrome is going to compete in the PC market, sketched out a vision of the future in which highly creative TV-like advertisements would be targeted to particular users and sent to mobile phones, and said that once-and-future Google CEO Larry Page was very happy NOT to travel to Barcelona -- he's leaving all the travel to Schmidt. He also reiterated his past statements that Microsoft, not Facebook, is Google's most important competitor.

More Details On Skype’s Big Move To The Web

Earlier today we broke the news that Skype was ramping up in preparation for new web-based products — a big shift for the company, which has historically offered its extremely popular service via native desktop clients. Now we've heard more details from one source about what this new service may entail. We're still working to firm up the specifics, but here's what we've gathered so far: According to our source, Skype is hoping to launch its web-based service in the first quarter of next year.  The launch will likely include integrations on multiple partner sites — Skype is gunning for some big partners, and we hear that LinkedIn has been in discussions about a possible integration (LinkedIn declined to comment).

The Sexy Details of How the iPad and MacBook Will Hook Up

During the Back to the Mac event, Steve Jobs made a particularly witty remark that made the audience giddy with laughter:

“We asked ourselves, what would happen if a MacBook and an iPad hooked up? Well, this is the result, we think it’s the future of notebooks.”

There is always a deep strategic intent with the things that Apple does, especially when it comes from Steve Jobs. The first phase in “hooking up” that took place between the MacBook Air and iPad foretells a deeply converged future on many levels.
