Hailed for double feature 7-inch multi-touch screens, in addition to playing directly with your greasy fingers on it, the new Microsoft Mail is designed for writing, and dusting the drawing with a stylus. Both screens are “glued” together by aa hinge with a single button, like the iPhone. They also provide essential information about battery life, describing the condition and strength of the wireless signal, while the back of the booklet provides innovative camera that is rumored to charge through a buffer inductive. Not much official information on the new Microsoft Mail, but people over at Gizmodo got their hands on a pile of photos and a video (not embeddable).

| Chrome Frame Google Microsoft Internet Explorer Posted: 25 Sep 2009 03:31 AM PDT Here are the latest weapon, triggered in the browser war. More precisely, it is a weapon wielded by Google Chrome against Microsoft Internet Explorer. This is a new open source plugin for Internet Explorer, called Google Chrome Frame, which makes IE behave exactly like Google Chrome with its support HTML 5 and fast JavaScript engine. It was announced today Google Chrome Blog.
Upgrading while extremely useful for users and developers poses a problem for Microsoft. They can not deliberately cripple Chrome without facing a horde of bad press, which in turn would mean good publicity for Chrome. But if they do not, IE users will be exposed to chromium and possibly further increase the market share for Chrome. With Google Chrome Frame, developers can now get the latest open web technologies such as HTML 5, even in Internet Explorer. For users installing Google Chrome Frame will allow them to enjoy seamlessly modern web applications at blazing speeds, thanks to the familiar interface of the version of IE they currently use.

| T-Mobile Free Waze App Turns GPS Navigation Phone Posted: 25 Sep 2009 12:45 AM PDT The problem with most turn-by-turn navigation applications for mobile phones is that they are unaffordable. Not so with Wazee. In fact, the app is totally free and there is even the driving experience in a fun game.
The video explains the service in detail but in summary, maps Wazee are entirely generated by users. Users can also relay a heads up for other accidents and other driving conditions dangerous. There is even a Pac-Man type game with drivers who are exploring uncharted territory. As you map the region, the icon of your car will eat items and accumulate points. Apparently, the application also pays attention to your speed to help determine the traffic conditions and turn off the keyboard to prevent users from typing while driving. The problem here is that the crowds from services have had limited success in the past, so Wazee is fighting an uphill battle. But since it’s free, it’s not like you have something to lose by giving it a shot. Wazee is available for the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian and other devices. [via gizmodo] a |
