Samsung signs a deal with Google

(Business News & Technology News, 15 Jan 2007)

Samsung, a provider of mobile phones, and Google have announced a global cooperation to enable mobile phone users worldwide with easy access to Google products and services—directly from their Samsung mobile phones.

Samsung mobile phones equipped with Google applications will enable consumers to search information, find locations and manage their email on the move. Beginning in early 2007, selected Samsung phones will be provided with a range of Google products and services—including Google Search, Google Maps for mobile and Gmail for mobile devices.

Samsung has already launched the Ultra Edition 13.8 (SGH-Z720), its first mobile handset installed with Google mobile search and Gmail services. The 13.8mm model is HSDPA ready, and comes with a 3-megapixel camera, MP3 Player and Bluetooth connectivity. The company informed that future models will also be Google-ready.
