Friday, August 20, 2010
Google is all set to compete the rival in hardware sector, i.e, Apple. Yeah Google is planned to release the tablet pc in November. The new Google Tablet PC runs on Chrome os,an open source OS.
This device is manufactured by HTC corporation and this will be under verizon contract.Coming to Specs of this Tablet pc, Google tablet PC will have a multi-touch display capable of 1280 x 720 resolution. It will offer a minimum of 32GB SSD storage, which may be expandable using a multi-card reader. The device is expected to be powered by a Tegra 2 processor that has dual ARM Cortex-A9 cores clocked to 1GHz, and it will be loaded with 2GB of RAM. Some of the other possible features of Chrome OS tablet computer include WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, GPS, and webcam. A mini-DVI or if possible an HDMI port would be a nice addition.
Well Analysts say that is would be better if Google chooses Andriod os rather than Chrome OS.As Chrome OS, a browser-based operating system that stores all of a computer user's applications and data online which is not appropriate for mobile internet and Chrome OS was developed for highly and persistently connected devices.
Coming to Andriod , it is perfect for wireless devices and in the market there are already tablets by Dell are using Andriod and when i am thinking of these tablets pc's, i got one thing in to mind is " where is ADAM" this indian based tablet which is gearing up to compete Ipad and i belive even they are using Andriod OS for Adam.
Still the confirmed news is not yet released by Google and i think as Chrome good at supporting Web apps , Google might have choosen Chrome but still lets see what's next ...

Monday, August 2, 2010
Well i always felt IE had a better perfomance compared to firefox specially in suporting the applications in hardwards perspective.Firefox has gradually picked up its momentum in getting hold of the market in past few years. BUt in this browser war microsoft has really came back strong with its IE 9. It has got more than 2 million downloads in the initial stage of its release. and received a very good feedback from the users.
Firefox has really got somethign to worry about... its not only about IE but also it needs to look on to the usage of Chrome and safari.Internet Explorer 9, which boasts superior hardware-accelerated speed and strong support for open standards, is yet to be let off the leash. Firefox is also pumping itself up by adding new feature to Firefox 4. The battle will be mighty; one will stand while the others fall.
Well i am going to publish the key differences between IE 9 and Firefox 4 soon.Keep watching :) Read more...
