Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Facebook made a significant move into the potentially lucrative local business advertising space on Monday with the launch in the UK and other European countries of Places Deals, which gives users discounts and benefits with nearby shops, restaurants and venues through their mobile phones.

Motorola Launches Xoom Tablet with Android 3.0

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

Motorola finally unveiled its highly anticipated tablet, the Xoom, with a 10.1-inch touchscreen with the latest version of Google’s Android mobile software on board, formerly called Honeycomb.

Google worked with Motorola and chip maker Nvidia on the launch of Android 3.0 on a tablet device.

Android 3.0 is designed for tablets, not smartphones as Android was originally designed for. The Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor on board can deliver up to 2GHz of power, since each core runs at 1GHz, according to a joint news release from Motorola and Verizon. The tablet will be available for Verizon users.

10 Things We Want to See in Chrome OS

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Thanks to a mysterious invitation sent out to the media last week, there’s widespread speculation that Google will announce, or maybe even release, the desktop OS it’s been talking about for over a year. The company has said that Chrome OS will launch before the end of 2010. But one has to wonder about the need for the operating system with the same name as the browser, since touch tablets have successfully been introduced running mobile OSes like Google’s own Android and Apple’s iOS.

If the target is netbooks, as Google execs have implied, then good luck to Google: The market unanimously rejected a non-market-leading OS when Linux netbooks were offered a couple years ago and quickly updated to run Windows XP. And Chrome OS is basically the Chrome browser running atop a Google-customized version of Linux. For those who simply want to browse the Web, watch online videos, and perhaps do a bit of work on documents, there’s no reason why a lightweight Web-centric OS shouldn’t be welcomed.
