Google Inc. exposed its nearly done mobile software system to about 3,000 computer programmers this week, expecting to grow more services and marketing for people on the go. Although short, the display at the Internet search leader’s annual developer conference at San Francisco stated the most wide public look so far at “Android” – an open-source platform being intended for “smart” phones and other mobile devices, which surf the Web. Android was first proclaimed about seven months ago.

The bells and whistles exposed Wednesday comprised: a way to unlock phones by drawing a precise shape on the touchscreen in its place of typing a password; bookmarks for favorite Web sites on the device’s index page; a “compass” tool, which mechanically roams with the phone while a user looks at graphic images of a city map; a expanded tool to zoom in on Web content; and a mobile version of the video game “Pac Man.”
