It’s all about Ice Cream Sandwich !

Technology

Google's out with! Android 4.0, a.k.a. Ice Cream Sandwich. Sounds delicious, but what exactly is it? It's a mobile platform. Ice Cream Sandwich continues Google's tradition of alphabetical dessert naming. Froyo begat Gingerbread, Gingerbread begat Honeycomb, and together, Gingerbread and Honeycomb begat Ice Cream Sandwich. If you bought a high-end phone recently you will almost certainly be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich, and upcoming high-end devices will have it preloaded. It’s different... For anyone who has used an Android phone, this is a pretty different look. It still has that famously customizable desktop, but it doesn't move in the same way. Open the app drawer and you scroll from side to side, not up and down as on Android 2.x. You have four customizable icons on yo...

Users have been clamoring for invitations to Google+, which Google launched as a limited "field trial," noting "you may find some rough edges." Access to the project is currently by invitation only, and a limited number of users were given 15 invitations apiece to bring others on board. If you're eager to begin trying out Google+ and can't find someone with a spare invitation, you can sign up to request a Google+ account here. Google has created an entry form that asks people to submit their first name and email address so they can stay posted as the service is rolled out more fully. "We’re sti...

Explore Google Plus

Technology

Google with the launch of its brand new social project Google plus has indicated its intentions to grab share in the Facebook's social network of more than 500 million active users. Will it work? Not sure but it looks like the best version of social that they have ever done (as compared to its much hyped Google Wave and Buzz). They have put together a core group of social products and a new navigation bar that integrates sharing and conversations into every single Google Product. Alike Facebook, Google has also focused on Privacy Settings, and emphasizing that Google plus will let users to bifurcate what they want to share and with whom they want to share. The design and UI is much better than normal Google products, but it still retains the elegant & “normal” Google look with ...
