Google

Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin named the search engine they built "Google," a play on the word "googol," the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The name reflects the immense volume of information that exists, and the scope of Google's mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Google became a part of the cellular world after creating the Android operating system. They have also introduced a cellular phone, the Google Nexus One.
