Google Android Buzz again as a widget
I must admit that I like Google Buzz, both up and running in the web version as its integration with Google Maps. The service has not been without criticism, but it seems that Google does not give up and still backs him, and this time we introduced a widget for Android devices.
The widget allows you a shortcut from the desktop to many service functions without loading any applications such as personal pocket calendar to enter day-to-day planing activities and sharing with your friends or enter into any site, and update state and include one or more photos, all geo-if we choose. Of course we can also choose whether private or public buzz before sharing. The look is very careful and use is very intuitive, the most worked on Android I’ve tried, is that native development for Android is a positive differentiator to other platforms.
On the downside I would say is an application of “write only”, meaning that only serves to update, but we can see the latest updates from us and our contacts in the form of widget. We have direct access to Buzz, but we sent directly to the web.
The widget for Google Buzz is available in Android Market for Android devices with 1.6 or higher.Again represents the idea that we were explaining yesterday about the way Google mitigates fragmentation, which is that it is a way to access the application without going through Google Maps for users of Android 1.6.
