Google posts $3.45 billion first-quarter profit

Google next month will start cranking out prototypes of a 3-D tablet designed to give users immersive experiences that could include virtual reality, according to US media reports

Google said Wednesday its first quarter profit rose 32 percent from a year ago to $3.45 billion, in results below most Wall Street expectations.

"We completed another great quarter. Google's revenue was $15.4 billion, up 19 percent year on year", said chief executive Larry Page. "We got lots of product improvements done, especially on mobile. I'm also excited with progress on our emerging businesses."
