Today, it announced enhancements to its Froogle Mobile comparison-shopping service that let users sort results by price. Google also made the service available in the United Kingdom.

In a statement provided to internetnews.com, the company said, "We acquired Android because of the talented engineers and great technology. We're thrilled to have them here."
