  • CLIQ: Motorola’s SMART Device Shows Interesting Potential [View article]
    It's great to see Motorola back in the game!

    Both HTC & Motorola are demonstrating just how powerful & flexible Android is, for delivering unique & innovative user experiences. It will be interesting to see how Sony Ericsson's Rachael UI pans out.

  • Is There a Need for Game Publishers Any More?  [View article]
    Browser technology, like O3D, could also become a significant factor for game publishers.

    Check out this demo of Large Animal's Infinite Journey game:

    You can play Infinite Journey here, if you have the O3D plugin (available at code.google.com/apis/o3d/):

    Even Disney/ABC has a demo, to show other uses for O3D:

    O3D has enormous potential, to simplify multi-platform game development & distribution.

  • Sony Makes Google’s Chrome Its Default Browser; Is Chrome OS Next? [View article]
    I call FAKE on the latest screenshots. The ones posted by Mashable, a couple of weeks back, looked a little more plausible, but they could also be fake.

    Re. Chrome on Sony's notebooks, I think it is GREAT move. Chrome would probably be a great default browser, for most/all "netbooks", since it is light & VERY fast.

  • Google Ropes In Sony [View article]
    It's a smart move by Sony. Their PCs are likely to be perceived as being much faster than the others, primarily because the browsing experience with Chrome is so much faster than IE (startup, page loading, JavaScript execution, etc).

    One of the positive side-effects for web developers is that there will be more users with browsers that fully conform to open web standards.

  • Expect Major Changes in the Mobile Landscape Imminently [View article]
    I think netbook/tablet devices running a smartphone OS like Android, could become a big hit with mobile operators.

    If these devices include smartphone hardware (touchscreen, 3G, GPS, accelerometer, compass, etc.) and support cell phone calls and SMS, the mobile operators would be able to generate revenue from:
    1. data contracts.
    2. phone calls & SMS.
    3. a cut of the revenue from Android Market app purchases.
    4. any value-added services they offer that exploit the smartphone nature of these devices.

    They don't have all of these same advantages, when the devices are running a desktop OS.
