Google has showed off one of the first working phones built using its open source Android software and announced an email pact with social networking site MySpace.

Google on wednesday announced the moves at the company's largest conference for outside software developers, which was seen as underscoring Google's goal of integrating its services deep into third party websites.

Google also announced a new version of its powerful Google Earth programme that would allow third party sites to embed it on their web pages in the same way that Google Maps are used by over 150,000 websites.

The programme allows users to get a bird's eye view of the planet and fly over points of interest. Until now users had to download special software to use the programme, but the new version can be used through a browser.

The MySpace deal uses Google Gears to download mail messages and contact lists to the user's machine where they can be stored, indexed and searched.

The use of the Google tools is expected to be a huge boon to users of the social networking site's mail system who until now had no efficient way of searching their emails.
