Hasta La Gadget!

Hearing Google say that Android 2.2 would be filtering out to the Nexus One in short order was no huge shock — after all, it’s Google’s first smartphone. But for those who purchased Motorola’s first heavy-hitter since the RAZR, it looks as if they’ll be close behind in enjoying the spoils. According to a Motorola spokesperson quoted at Slashgear (full statement is past the break), the company is expecting the original Droid to get Android 2.2 “in the near future,” though he / she wouldn’t go so far as to provide specifics beyond that. Better still, the same person stated that Motorola is excited about Froyo in general, and it’s “looking forward to integrating it on [the firm’s] Android-based devices as [the software] is made available.” We hate to read too deeply into anything, but “devices” sure gets our digits tingling.

Nokia’s new hotness, the N8, is starting our week off in fine style. Finest Fones, what looks to be a Symbian-only mobile news site, is reporting its own tests done with the handset that show it comfortably outpacing its predecessor. Of course, in these fog of war-obscured times (before proper hardware is dished out), we can’t really be sure of the veracity of what we read, but Symbian^3‘s newfound ability to exploit graphics hardware seems to be paying off relative to the more primordial ways of the S60 5th software on the N97. The intrepid investigators found a 180 percent performance delta between the two phones in Speedy Go! tests, while the N8 ran through a cycle of FPC bench 3D with perfect 60fps scores each and every time. We won’t be convinced by the purported 680MHz CPU inside till we test it out for ourselves with a load of widget-heavy homescreens, but early signs seem to be encouraging.

Some of you may remember a service called Measure Map from back in 2005. It was free and provided bloggers with stats for their blogs. There are certain stats that are more useful to bloggers than others which is why Measure Map was so useful. On their site they list some of the benefits of using the service like “easily navigate the numbers that matter,” or “track links to see who sends you traffic.” Things were going along pretty nicely for them and continued that way when Google acquired them on February 14, 2006. Once they became a part of Google though, not a peep was heard from them.

Now TechCrunch is reporting that Google is ready to relaunch Measure Map and that it has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. Michael Arrington said he recently received an email that was sent to the early Measure Map users which explains the changes. In a nutshell, they explained what they’ve been doing in the time since they got acquired saying, “We got acquired by Google, we redesigned their Analytics app, and we’ve since rebuilt Measure Map from the ground up.”

Measure Map is one great example of how not all of the companies that get acquired by Google and then fade away are really gone forever. If you were one of the people who was an original tester of Measure Map, you should have received a message explaining how you’ll need a Google Analytics account to use the new version at Google. Without trying it ourselves, we’re really curious as to what kinds of changes they made and how it will differ from Analytics which many bloggers already use.
