Recently, Google's stock price exceeded $600 for the first time, with shares closing at 2.6 per cent - $609.62, multiplied by seven, since debuting over three years ago. According to an analyst research report from Bear Stearns Wall Street investment bank and brokerage, the stock is estimated to reach $625 by the end of the year, and could reach up to $700 by the end of 2008.

So far, profits of $925 million in the second quarter and earnings per share of $2.93 have been reported for Google, with analysts expecting furture profits to surpass that figure.

Recently, Google Inc. acquired the Finnish company Jaiku, one of a new class of start-ups that offer instant-messaging tools for Web and cell phone users to keep track of their friends' daily activities. Writing on Goggle's official blog, Tony Hsieh, a Google product manager, said his company had acquired Helsinki-based Jaiku Ltd. Google confirmed in a separate statement that the deal had closed but did not reveal financial terms.

The small acquisition coincides with mounting speculation that Google is pushing to expand into mobile Internet services by going beyond its existing smattering of one-off services to create mobile operating system software that could run phones.

Lehman Brothers analyst Douglas Anmuth recently surmised that Google could potentially launch its own cell phone device as early as February 2008. He described the phone as a simple, low-cost handset featuring a variety of Google Web applications and supported by online advertising.

Google also acquired approximately a dozen other small start-ups this year, having acquired mobile social networking company, Dodgeball, two years ago.
