Google Android - What to Expect

Here's a nice article on what we can expect from the Google Android phone set to be anounced on 9/23/2008.

Probably the most important Google Android play is the synchronization of calendar, contacts and email without requiring USB cables or third-party apps to get the job done.  I'm assuming that Android data will be hosted by Google, which of course will one day create a Microsoftish monopoly for Google.  

Google Chrome Download

Google Chrome can be downloaded here.

Google Chrome

Chrome is a new, open-source web browser from Google.

Google explains what differentiates Chrome from other browsers in a comic book here. This is a great idea that explains complex things in a simple way - and can only help Chrome gain traction.

Some of the highlights:

• tabs are individual browser processes that are sandboxed from each other
• sandboxes have no write capabilities to the local machine (although plug-ins might)
  
• includes its own highly optimized javascript virtual machine (V8)
• includes anti-malware/anti-phishing
  

Hopefully the download link will be posted soon.
