Google to launch two projects targeting China market
Google Inc plans to launch two projects that target the China market within three to six months of setting up its mainland research and development center, possibly focusing on wireless, e-commerce and entertainment, the South China Morning Post reported, citing court documents.
The Hong Kong-based newspaper said Google has identified improvement of its Chinese-language search results, MP3 search and mobility as key areas of development needed to close the gap with mainland rivals such as Baidu.com. The research center is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter.
Here's a piece I haven't heard covered too much even though it's like 2 days old ?
As for MP3 search, last I heard BAIDU were in talks trying to solve relations with record company executives.
And my $$$s are defo on Google/Baidu teaming up ...
