Wednesday’s Grand Event - PT 3 - Live Blogging @ The Web 2.0 Summit

Marrisa Mayer of Google was next. She is now running Google Health. She started off with a top ten list of what you might think Google Health is going to be. If I could type faster I would have gotten it all. I hope I can get the presentation later to post it. More people go to Google to search first over WebMD. Google is working to digitize people’s heath records to make them portable. They plan on having things like your health history and xrays available in your hands. When you go to a new doctor, you can just send them over to the doctor from your cell phone, Seems awesome in that aspect. Then again, they need to scan in all my record.

Anssi Vanjoki from Nokia came out next to show Nokia’s next product.  Any Nokia N series phone is Nokia’s version of the computer. He projects that in the next 5 years there will be 400 million pocket computers. He said Nokia’s OS OVI is open for development. He then showed off the new Nokia N810. It is a nice mini computer / pda / cellphone. It has a slide out keyboard and runs Linux on the Maemo platform. It also has GPS built in it. Nokia is the largest phone maker in the world and this device may give the iPhone a run for it’s money.
