My TechLife

Here is the first real look, I found of the gPhone. Actually, not the Gphone, but Google Android.
If you have forgotten this name, then, Google Android is the open - source mobile platform being designed by Google, in agreement, with a lot of other companies.

This phone seems to be the best competitor of the iPhone. Here we see (Andy Rubin Director of Mobile Platforms - Google) giving a demo of an unnamed Android Prototype. Running on 3G network powered by a 300MHz processor.

First Look:

* 300Mhz processor
* Trackball on the bottom
* 3G
* Really nice, browser.
* Touchscreen
* 3D graphics (video shows a demo of Quake!)
* For more, just see the video.

Here is a collection of 100 (One Hundred) Commands that can be entered in Start>Run in Windows XP, with their functions mentioned therein. I like it. If you can remember some important ones, you can save a lot of time.

Go to StartMenu>RUN, where u get the following box:

There you can enter these commands to get the results mentioned.

So, memorise what you use..

See this tiny Special Christmas Decorations. Special, because these have been made recycling old Circuit boards and CDs.

Don’t you think this is a cool idea?? I think so…

These used up CDs and Circuit Boards are of no use. But Nigelsecostore has recycled and used them to a very good purpose and is also selling them at price ranging from £3-£15.

And Geeks, who like everything to be geeky, will surely be attracted by this.

Are you a geek?? Want everything to be techie?? Now you can have a nice and hopefully cheap gadget on your dinning table. This is a little box or to say Salt & Pepper. It has two chambers, one for Pepper and the other for Salt.

You can take the required thing by switching to ‘P’ or ‘S’ respectively standing for Pepper and Salt. And sorry for mentioning ‘geeks’ in the title of these post…. This is not only for geeks but for anyone who likes something in electronics or those who like to try out new things.

Some are calling this pic just a rumour, but some say it is the screenshot of an application running on Android OS (popularly known as the gPhone OS). The app from upstart Whatsopen does just what you might think; it tells you what’s open nearby your location. This is possible that Whatsopen is the maker of the very first Android Application. Better is just to wait for the first SDK .
