Google Android accounts for 25.5% of the global smartphone operating system, after Nokia Symbian, but ahead of Apple, according to the latest data from US market research firm Gartner.
2, with Microsoft Cloud in battle
Google has spent a lot of time this year competing with Microsoft for a leadership position in the cloud computing world. The scramble for cloud computing orders for the two tech giants has even involved many government orders.
Microsoft has integrated cloud computing technology in office 2010, hoping to counter Google's docs and spark a battle between Google and Microsoft. Later, the confrontation between the two sides expanded to such areas as email. And Google has even launched a series of tools to help Microsoft Exchange and Outlook users migrate to Google Apps.
3, Google "accidentally" collection of user data
Google Street View services in the framing process through the Wi-Fi network accidentally collected user data, and therefore apologized to the user. Google also disclosed in October this year that the data contained a user's personal email and password. A number of EU governments have therefore investigated Google to see if it violates the law. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has also launched a survey of Google. Google continues to apologise and adjusts the way it collects data on Street View services.
4. Google buys aggressively
By the beginning of October, Google had bought 24 companies this year, ranging from social-media tools and applications to online shopping and many other areas. It is estimated that Google's 2010-year acquisition funds of about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, more than 2007, 2008 and 20,093 years combined.
Many of Google's 2010 acquisitions have shown that it wants to better develop its social media business against Facebook.
5. Cloud security raises government concerns
Google defeated Microsoft last year as a cloud-computing service provider for Los Angeles government agencies. But because of concerns about the security of the service, government agencies in the Los Angeles Police Department and other cities have abandoned the service.
Despite some problems, the Los Angeles government said it would continue to use Google's cloud computing services, and Google promised to improve the issues as soon as possible.
6, the promotion of third-party cloud computing applications

7, Google launched Buzz social applications
Early this year, Google launched the Buzz social app. This is a product that is integrated with Gmail, where users can focus on friends, publish status updates, share links, pictures and videos, and integrate with other mainstream social networking platforms.
But because it automatically pays attention to the user's Gmail contacts, Buzz causes privacy concerns and even faces lawsuits, but eventually settled at 8.5 million dollars.
8, with Verizon to push the network neutrality proposal
Google and Verizon have jointly launched a network neutrality proposal in the hope that the Federal Communications Commission will be able to impose a 2 million dollar fine on companies violating the rules. But the proposal has caused a lot of criticism in the industry because it treats wireless networks differently from fixed networks.
9, Google Wave failed
As a real-time communications and collaboration tool, Google Wave has been a media concern, but Google this August announced the termination of the project, and will integrate relevant technologies into other products.
Prior to its release, wave had been developing for more than a year to compete with products such as Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint and IBM Lotus Notes, but failed to spark attention.
