The Three Differences between Chrome OS and Android

On December 7th, Google is expected to announce the release of a laptop with the first version of the Chrome operating system. Concurrently, Google is going great guns with Android. Does Google really need two operating systems? So what’s going on here?

Here’s what Google is up to. Yes, both Android and Chrome OS are Linux-based operating systems. Neither, at the application level, uses the common Linux desktop application programming interfaces (API) that are used by the GNOME or KDEdesktops and their applications.

They’re also similar in that both use a common set of techniques to make them more secure. The most important of these is process sand-boxing. What this means is that any Chrome or Android application has just enough access to the system to do its job.

Once you’re past this, the two look and act in very different ways. Here are their main points of difference:

1) Android is for Phones & Tablets; Chrome OS is for Netbooks

Google said at the start that “Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the Web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems.” Google hasn’t always been on message with this.

Google also took its time getting even a Chrome beta out the door. Now that Chrome OS is about to be unveiled, we know that it is going to be Google’s “desktop” operating system, while Android is for smart phones and tablets.

The Android interface is designed foremost for touch. Google Chrome OS looks and acts just like the Chrome Web browser.

2) Chrome OS won’t run Linux desktop or Android Apps

I use quotes around “desktop” with good reason. While Chrome OS will be used like a desktop operating system, it’s not a traditional fat-client desktop like Windows or even a Linux desktop such as Mint. Instead, all of its “applications” will be cloud-based. To see what I mean, just look at the Chrome browser and Google Apps. You’re looking at a sketch of the Google Chrome OS.

There will be just enough Linux in Chrome OS–thanks, in part, to Ubuntu– to support the browser and Web-based applications. You will also likely be able to run some traditional desktop applicationsusing a remote-client computing technology called “Chromoting.”

As for Android applications, where all the applications are Java-based and depend on Dalvik, I don’t see any way that those applications will run on Chrome OS.

3) Chrome OS Constantly Updated

Like the Chrome browser, you can expect Chrome OS to be patched and improved constantly. This instead of being patched to fix problems or having features added in service packs, Chrome OS, for better or worse, will continually evolve. With Chrome OS, there won’t be any wait for different versions a la Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Still having trouble visualizing it? Well, don’t worry too much. Within the next few days, we’ll have the opportunity to see Chrome OS and see how it differs from Android and other desktop operating systems.

A quick look at Google Chrome OS

When you launch a laptop running Google's Chrome OS for the first time, it will walk you through a simple and short registration process that begins with connecting to the Internet.

Like Chrome-the-browser, Chrome-the-OS will also require users to sign off on an End User License Agreement before they can use the computer.

You can sign in to Chrome OS using your existing Google account. If you purchase apps from the Chrome Web Store now and then get a Chrome OS computer next year, your apps will sync to the new laptop instantly.

Chrome OS laptops will all come with Web cams, and users will be asked to take a photo of themselves to use as their avatar. It's not clear if the Chrome OS avatar will override your current Google one.

If you're familiar with Chrome as a browser, and you're familiar with smartphone-style apps, you ought to have a fairly gentle learning curve for Chrome OS. The apps are front and center, while tabs and controls are up at the top and in the corner.

AMD releases fastest desktop processor ever, the six-core Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition

For those who want serious performance without spending hundreds of dollars on Intel’s Core i7 processors, AMD offers the Phenom II X6 CPU series — six cores for under $300. Intel’s rival has just delivered a new version, the 1100T Black Edition, that benchmarking sites have found to be the fastest desktop processor AMD has released to date.

The 1100T is a few tweaks ahead of its predecessor, the 1090T Black Edition, and based on the same Thuban 45nm core. For the uninitiated, Black Edition means that the processor has an unlocked multiplier, which aids in overclocking. While the 1090T has a 3.2GHz core clock speed and a Turbo Core frequency of 3.6GHz, the 1100T bumps these up to 3.3GHz and 3.7GHz, respectively.

The 1100T continues the Phenom II X6’s assault on Intel Core i5 CPUs, with Hot Hardware finding that it could surpass the Core i5-750 quad-core on a number of benchmarks and Anandtech concluding that it could even hang close to the Core i7-860. Just don’t expect it to get anywhere near the performance of Intel’s six-core Core i7s.

The good news is you won’t have to pay anywhere near $1,000 for AMD’s top six-core CPU. The 1100T is listed at just $265, which means that the 1090T is now priced even less at $235. You might not get the ultimate processor bragging rights, but you’ll get a better price-for-performance deal.

Google releases first Chrome OS-based laptop: the Cr-48

Google has officially unveiled the Cr-48, the first Chrome OS laptop. But the only way to get one soon is to be a member of the upcoming pilot program.

Before everyone gets excited, know that this is defintiely a business-focused notebook. Application data will be saved to a cloud rather than the Cr-48. And as Google asserts that buyers “can spend less on hardware” with Chrome notebooks, expect a reasonable price tag but a no-frills machine.

Not everything has been revealed about this portable computer so far, but the following specs have been confirmed:

• 12.1-inch display
• 10-second boot time
• Flash storage
• 802.11n Wi-Fi

Nokia Releases 5800 firmware v52.007 updates

Nokia release the firmware updates for the most popular 5800 mobile, you can download it from ovi suite and install it later in to ur phone or you can directely download to ur phone from the menu->settings->phone->pnone mgmt-.device updates->options->check for updates .The update is available through FOTA and NSU.
you can also download it from here


Download : Nokia Firmware 5800 XpressMusic RM-356 MENA 52.0.007 v15.0


Features improved: 
* Improved Performance: As with every good firmware upgrade, v52 leaves your phone feeling much snappier and responsive than before. Menu response, browser performance, and even the speed of UI auto-rotate has seen a boost.


* Louder volume levels in the music-player


* Slight modifications in the onscreen keyboard layout and spacing The onscreen keyboard has been tweaked slightly, with marginally improved spacing - this essentially means that typing-errors will reduce a little bit, but the change is not very significant.


* Improved touch-response: The touch-screen sensitivity has increased noticably, and so has the haptic-feedback. The short rumble you used to get for each touch has transformed into something more soft and realistic, very similar to the response of an actual, physical button-press.


* The Maps application has been updated to version 3.04 (10WK32), which brings some major revamps - in addition to the usual Lonely Planet and Burrp, you get additional goodies like the Map Reporter, with which you can report errors or missing features in the map of your area.


* Several bug-fixes in the WiFi connectivity: Have you, for instance, tried to browse the Ovi Store over a WiFi connection and failed, and never knew what was wrong? Well, this was a bug - this and several other similar bugs have been fixed in the newest update.


* The browser has been updated to version 7.2.6.9, and the image and video capturing algorithms have been improved

Google launches Nexus S, latest Android platform

Google on Monday announced its Nexus S, the device that will be the showpiece for the Gingerbread/Android 2.3 release. In addition, the Gingerbread software developer kit (SDK) is now available.

The Nexus S was co-developed with Samsung and will be the first out of the gate with Android 2.3, which on the surface looks a lot like Android 2.2 in terms of user interface.

Like the first Nexus phone, Google will sell the latest version unlocked and with “a pure Google experience.” These efforts are designed to highlight what Android can do before carriers start adding icons, bolting down app stores and carrying out other hijinks.

Generally speaking, the Nexus S looks evolutionary not revolutionary. There’s no dual-core and the screen is similar to what’s found in a Droid. The main implication for the Nexus S is that Samsung appears to be the Android flag carrier these days.

The latest improvements to Android include (blog post):

• User interface tweaks;
• Near field communication support;
• New keyboard and text selection;
• VoIP calling;
• And other improvements.
