Conclusion

After reading into the research and patented technology of Outride's application, the question still remains on how Google will implement it into their search platform. Would Google use the technology as a browser add-on tool?

Outride claimed that the ideal method for this application would be to have it as a downloadable browser companion. With Google working hard to push their current Toolbar, this could be their best option for delivering the application. This would allow for Google to use all of Outride's technology as it as meant to be used.
