Apple may have the Jesus phone but that doesn't stop Google from rolling out its new technology; perhaps the new era for telecommunications in terms of mobile phones. A joint development project with hardware manufacturer HTC, Nexus One is the first Google branded entry into the smartphone market. The device runs with the latest Android system, allowing several of the forward-thinking features.

Users can rely on speech anywhere on the phone where text can input. users can speak their e-mails, text messages, tweets and web searches. “The Nexus One is where web meets phone,” says Google vice president of Android project management Mario Queiroz. The introduction of Nexus One not only brings more competition but also another dimension to the smartphone industry. By doing so, Google places itself into a head on collision with other members of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), a consortium of mobile hardware and software developers and carriers, all of whom have been working on Google’s Linux-based Android operating system. It remains to be seen if how Google managed to balance such equation.

The Nexus One also boasts some impressive hardware. It features a zippy 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which Google says enables the phone to seamlessly run multiple applications at once. A trackball allows users to navigate the interface, and also uses different colored lights to send various alerts. The Nexus One runs Android 2.1, the latest version of Google’s free mobile operating system, and the phone relies on the new software for several key enhancements. For example, every single text field on the device is voice-enabled.

“The evolution we’ve seen around voice recognition in the past year or two has just been phenomenal,” says Google senior product manager Erick Tseng, referring to the company’s Google Voice app and the voice commands on the Google Droid.

“We wanted to take it to the next level.”

The first baby step is here, let's get it online and see where it would take us to. Who knows what might be installed in the future.

Let's put our hands together to welcome the new invention from Apple Inc. The long awaited iPad i finally unveil. It's the most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device.

With iPad, navigation is an issue of the past. It could not be easier and more intuitive to navigate the web. Flicking the finger is just all it takes to scroll down the page. Zooming only requires a pinch.

Checking mail is never more simpler. In landscape, we could get a split view displaying both the opened mail and the inbox. To view the main, we just need to rotate the screen to portrait and the mail will automatic filled up the screen. Regardless of the orientation that we are in, composing mail, scrolling mail or even deleting mail is just on tap away. And iPad works with all the most popular email providers.

Watching video or streaming from Youtube drowns the user with it's new appearance. It could not be better to watch movie on a large multi-touch screen. Switching between screen is just a double tap. Because iPad is essentially one big screen, with no distracting keypad or buttons, you feel completely immersed in whatever you’re watching.

It's just heaven to read books from this device. The high-resolution, LED-backlit screen displays everything in sharp, rich color, so it’s easy to read, even in low light. Jotting down notes is made easier. In landscape view, you see not only a note-taking page but a list of all your notes. iPad even circles the current note in red, so you can see where you are at a glance.

There’s no additional software to buy or install. These features make iPad easier to use for people who have a vision impairment, are deaf or hard of hearing, or have a physical or learning disability.
