Current Headlines: SEARCH engine company Google has unveiled software it hopes will power a variety of future mobile phones and boost the web on the move.

The software could lead to cheaper phones as it is designed to speed up the process of making mobile services.

The business is working with four mobile manufacturers - Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG - but a Google branded phone was not announced.
