    Apple iPhone 3G vs Google Android G1

    Leave a comment

    I don’t think after gathering the following information, I require to explain anything further. Both Apple iPhone 3G and Google Android G1 are launched few time back and would be missing some software features and applications if compared to the applications on other developed handhelds and smartphones. But if you ask me, these software features can be added later anytime by upgrading the firmware. What really matters is the hardware which according to me Apple iPhone has better than the G1. But, Google Android is only focusing only on the OS for which device needs to be developed by the mobile manufacturers.

    Google Chrome browser, which analysts say, will bring the revolution in the browsers market and will give a run for money to other browsers, mainly to Internet Explorer. On September 2, Google has launched their anticipated web browser named Chrome. Why has it named chrome? For the answer you and the technology behind it read the book on the Google Chrome site which they call it as Chrome comic.

    After the launch of Google Chrome, lot of people (including me) has fallen in love with the Chrome. It is pretty fast, reliable and unlike Internet Explorer and Firefox stays still even though one of the tabs get crashed.

    As Google’s other products, Google Chrome is also in beta version but still giving competition to the advanced and developed versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox. Google Chrome can be installed from here.
