Google Reinvents the Operating System
New OS is specifically geared towards the netbook market Google finally aired its long awaited Chrome Operating System and also along with this they opened source code which was posted online right before the start of the demonstration. Google's Chrome OS is indeed built entirely around the browser. For this reason, it naturally uses HTML 5 to provide it with rich graphical content and other advanced programming contents. This OS is built for netbooks and tablets and is based on three principles "Speed", "Simplicity", and "Security". Under this new OS, data has been stored as read-only and is only able to access by a small list of trusted applications which are verified.
Google will launch Chrome OS netbooks in the holiday season 2010 tablets and laptops running Chrome OS will launch at a later date. For now developers can download test builds.
Google is looking to drastically rethink the consumer operating system.

Apple tablet is delayed
News coming from the desk that Apple’s new tablet might not actually arrive until 2nd half of 2010 because of a necessary design change and the selection of the LG manufactured 9.7” OLED display the cost is just too high. It seems that LG will be making changes to the manufacturing process, as well as adding new equipment to their OLED line, which will reduce the cost of the OLED display that Apple wants to use in their unconfirmed and yet-to-be announced tablet product. The current price of this type is around $500 if purchased in large quantities.
While Apple has been working on a tablet, the release of such a product is still some time off; and when the 10.6” LCD model does arrive, we expect that it will fetch between $800 to $1,000 each when it first hits the streets. While it is possible that the OLED 9.7” model might arrive before the end of 2010, we are starting to think that it is likely that this model will not arrive until early 2011.
The news gives everyone more time to speculate and to save up for it when it finally does hit the streets.

HTC Snap and Touch Pro2 get the Windows Mobile 6.5 love
Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade is the HTC Snap and Touch Pro2. Don't celebrate just yet because these official ROMS can be immediately downloaded for the European models only. US users owning a variant of either Smartphones will have to wait until their wireless carrier pushes out an update. Don't hesitate to check it out though if you own the European version let's just hope that we don't have to wait too long before everyone gets the Windows Mobile 6.5 love.
Uniquely tattooed HTC Tattoo
The Tattoo got released in the last month and the manufacturer has just started a new service called TattooMyHTC. It allows you to get a unique tattoo for your new HTC Tattoo. The dedicated website features several pre-made patterns, but the real beauty of the idea is to come up with your own, unique design. Whatever you opt for, the lead-time for a tattooed handset is 14 days.
I think this is a great idea, since HTC presents you with the relatively inexpensive option to get yourself a uniquely looking handset, sporting a design customized to your own liking. Ultimately a device to help us stand out from the crowd. The HTC´s TattooMyHTC service is accessible via the source link, but unfortunately, this service is available in some State countries and others still have to wait for some time.
HTC Tattoo is compact with 3G Candybar running Androi OS with Sense interface. It features color QVGA touch screen, 3.2MP camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, FM Radio, stereo Bluetooth, microSD HC card slot and 3.5mm audio jack.
Apart from the above features the connectivity GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA 1.8 Mbit/s/HSDPA
3.6 Mbit/s/HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s.
HTC to Enter Netbook Segment “Touch HD2”
At the launch of the new HTC Touch HD2 smart-phone, HTC comes with the arrival of new Nokia Booklet 3G.
Just like Nokia shook the world with its Booklet 3G notebooks, HTC is now planning to do something similar things in a different way. At the Touch HD2 launch and bring a notebook with "unique value".
At the moment, HTC has the 7-inch HTC Shift portable that runs a full desktop version of Windows Vista and weighs 800g. So, it is likely that HTC might roll out a notebook with Windows 7 Starter/Android and with basic computing capacities.
