Arm to Demo Google Android

Arm to Demo Google Android?

Reuters reports that ARM (a mobile processor maker) will show a working cellphone concept running on Google’s Android OS. That should happen next week at the Mobile World Congress (3GSM) show in Barcelona. There are other Android prototype out there, but we don’t mind looking at another one.

The real game changer in the wireless industry is the ongoing wireless spectrum auction. If Google gets it, older wireless carriers will probably be upset.

eReader Bookstore To Feature 17000 Unprotected
eBooks

post from Ubergizmo on 07 February 2008 01:09:02 PM. © Ubergizmo

eReader Bookstore Features 17000 Unprotected eBooks

The fact that such a large eBook store starts to feature non-DRM (unprotected) files, may signal a shift that is similar to what’s happening to the music industry now. There is a huge demand from consumers for unprotected files, mainly because it annoys the paying customers and doesn’t really protect the publishers from piracy anyways.

It is interesting to see that unprotected eBooks from unknown writers often sell more than protected titles from famous authors. That might lead one to think that DRM really hinders sales.

Google Apps Team Edition

Google pokes Microsoft in the eye (again) by releasing the Team Edition of its applications. Users can join using their corporate email addresses and see other users from the same company. Users can invite others within the company to collaborate on Google Apps Team Edition.

Users can share documents with any or all employees of the company, and manage shared calendar in a way that is close to Outlook Exchange.

Google hopes to that invites for the team edition will flow just like ?zombies? invitations on Facebook and it?s not hard to predict that small businesses might pick this up to save on their IT budget. Video in the full post

MacBook Air SSD and Battery Benchmarked

MacBook Air SSD and Battery Benchmarked

The Wall Street Journal benchmarked the solid state drive (SDD) of the MacBook Air against the hard disk drive (HDD) version. Unlike what one would expect, the battery life is only 5 minutes higher. When it comes to boot-up time, the SDD performs 40% faster, but given that the HDD boots in less than a minute, so the perceived gains aren?t worth the extra cost.

Anantech did benchmark the battery, and here are the raw results:

It?s actually pretty good in my opinion. my Vaio SZ dies a lot faster than that, regardless of what I do.
