Tech Critiques Episode 91
This week in the news we talk about Google's release of their new browser called Google Chrome. This new browser uses Webkit as it underlying rendering engine which is the same one Apple uses for Safari. Also could this be the key to the Google OS or is it just another application for them to use as leverage against Microsoft. There are rumors from blu-ray.com that sometime this fall around (Black Friday) one manufacture will have limited quantities of sub $200 Blu-ray players. I think we all have been waiting for this price reduction to finally happen. Because once it does it will be very hard for people to accept $400 plus Blu-ray players again. Ford Motor Company announces the release of their new Ford SYNC 2.0 in car entertainment system. We discuss some of the new features Ford SYNC 2.0 has and some features that SYNC 3.0 is rumored to have coming next year. The US Army loves using the iPod just as much as we do. Because they are using custom iPods in the battle field as a translation device. Their iPods have been modified to run a custom application called Vcommunicator Mobile. You have heard of the iPhone App store well now get ready for Skymarket from Microsoft. This online store will be for Windows Mobile devices and it will be modeled after the iPhone App store allowing Windows Mobile users to buy applications directly from their mobile phones. Also new multitouch hardware is coming from a company called Finland's Multitouch Oy, the system is called Cell multitouch.
