It is not just about what Google can do to desktops. Its all about mobile phones and now Google has come up with a slick mobile device named T-Mobile G1. Let me give just a basic touch in this topic. I am not fully aware of the product. But I am confident about the details I am publishing here for my readers. 🙂 To say about this phone, I’ll start with the features.

1)Color Touch Screen– 3.17″ 65K colors

2)Along with a Keyboard(popular sidekick model)

3)The first phone that works on Google’s Android Operating System.

4) This phone is made by Taiwanese Electronics, makers of HTC

5) Has 3MP camera, GPS navigation(Google maps of course present),Wi-Fi Access and Internet Browser

6) US$179 (planning for a $20 lesser than the Apple’s iPhone)

7) Two years data and voice plan(based on contract)

8) Best for regular Google Application users

9) Has all Google Applications like Google Maps,You Tube, Gsearch, etc.,

10) Similar to iPhone’s mobile application store, the Android marketplace can be used to download Android applications and programs to the phone.

Many other applications are also present. Third Party applications are welcomed. Hoping Google’s joint venture with T-mobile is a success! 🙂

I am not familiar about this site Yahoo! mash till I read about this in the newspaper and a related blog. It’s similar to Google’s Orkut, the social networking site. It has been a year since Yahoo! started this. This follows a simple invitation process.. If you are a member of Yahoo! mash do read this article to know more http://blog.mash.yahoo.com/?p=60

The history of Orkut, the popular socializing website is well-known. Get to know some really cool facts about ORKUT BUYUKKOTEN, the founder of this wonderful website…

prior information about bad sites.

Doing online shopping or getting movie tickets or ordering any stuff that you want to be delivered right at your doorstep with your credit card was great fun long back until you came to know that your credit card number got stolen by the bad guys??? Too many people today suffer from fraud of their online bank accounts through spyware and phishing attacks, and children are being tricked to click on innocent looking links only to find offensive content.

If so just to avoid something so fishy from happening again visit SiteAdvisor and Scandoo.
These are not just simple sites. they will help the users so much. Both are free and they work differently and offer different features for quite the same things. They provide advance warnings of the sleazy and the offensive sites that you might visit without your knowledge.

Required Platforms:
It works well on both Windows as well as Macs and use several browsers.

What does SiteAdvisor provide??
-> uses a software plugin (which has to be downloaded and installed). The plugin that is used modifies the browser so that it can identify the bad sites. It works with IE as well as Mozilla Firefox. it works for popular browsers like Google,Yahoo and MSN. They rate the sites based on their analysis about various sites and there is no means of fraudulence. They are not being paid by sites to rate them.

What about Scandoo?
Uses more browsers. It asks for a keyword or a term to be inserted in order to provide results to users along with the search engine. Then it provides various markings on the sites after analysis. The plugin required is in the site and it also has to be downloaded and installed.

This green icon appears if you are on a safe and honest page.

If the site is bad the icon turns red. it identifies sites that contain scams.

when the site is not classified properly this symbol appears

Though these are not the perfect options they are better and helpful for the time being!!
