The New Android 3.0–Just for Tablets (Video)

Google Android Platform has been in the news lately and while most companies are going for Android based Tablets, Google yet again delivers a build that entices the tablet market for just more than Windows.

CES was churning up news and product announcements on Wednesday, the Google Android team quietly posted a YouTube video previewing the Honeycomb software release.

The video opens with the message that it is “built entirely for tablet” and then shows a preview of screenshots and screencasts of what appears to be a 10-inch tablet running a version of Android with a dark blue theme consistent with the new color scheme that debuted in Android 2.3 (”Gingerbread”) in December.

The video shows:

• The ability to open multiple smartphone-size apps at a time and stack them next to each other (something iPad doesn’t do)
• A full-size horizontal keyboard similar to the iPad’s
• A slick visualization of Google Books in action
• A tablet-optimized email client similar to the Web version of Gmail for iPad
• A cool new tablet UI for YouTube
• A full screen video call using GoogleTalk
• A tablet version of Google Maps with 3D modeling and StreetView

Hey RockMelt–At least Update the Error text to “Oops! RockMelt could not…’” instead of “Oops! Google Chrome Could not…”

Last week, a certain social browser released itself to the world named as RockMelt!. The world took it as a positive sign for a browser made purely up from a social point of view, heck bloggers throughout the world loved it, wrote reviews etc.

We know that  Marc anderson and co, did use the Google Chromium as base to work on  RockMelt and yes the browser rocks.

But hey if you are one of those who pioneered the  Web Browser ( Mosiac and Netscape) and are one of those who know how to code then I, as an amateur programmer myself do not see this mistake to let a user feel that the browser is just a social layer on top of Chrome.

The Browser said “ OOPS! Google Chrome could not connect to www.facebook.com” instead of “ OOPS! RockMelt could not connect to www.facebook.com”

I love RockMelt, I really do, but as highlighted by  MC at Techcrunch, we need a browser made up from ground social.
