And potential babel-fish style translation for mobile phones in the future, and of course the latest social networking development with Buzz being built into Gmail.
Not content with this lot, the search giant is waving its fingers around, eyeing up another pie – ultra-fast broadband.
Yes, Google is planning to test its own next-gen broadband network, with the aim of connecting up to half a million homes in the US.
And we’re talking serious speed – 1Gbps fibre-to-the-home connections.
However, the scheme will be limited to a “small number” of trial locations. In a statement on the Google blog, the company said: “We’ll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fibre-to-the-home connections.”
“We plan to offer the service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.”
However, according to a source who spoke to the Washington Post, Google doesn’t plan to expand the ultra-fast service beyond the trial – at least not currently.
