Nexus One Technical Specification :

Specifications:

The first handsets running Windows Mobile version 6.5 got released recently and the major players to fight tooth and nail for supremacy on the market of Windows-based smartphones are HTC, LG and Samsung. What about Motorola? The company seems predominantly focused on developing Android-based cell phones and its first product, the Motorola DEXT (also known as the CLIQ in the US) is now available to consumers across the UK. We´ve just got information that many devoted windows mobile fans will certainly find disturbing. It goes that Motorola has no plans to manufacture cell phones based on Windows Mobile 6.5, despite earlier claims it would be involved in the development of devices running both operating systems.

The new information comes from Christy Wyatt with Motorola, who stated the company intended to wait for the next version of Windows Mobile before getting back to the market of handsets powered by the Microsoft-made OS. In other words, Motorola is waiting for the release of Windows Mobile 7.

Everybody now busy talking about new upcoming Google chrome OS. “Faster, simplicity and secured”. Thats are three command as the guideline in building new Chrome OS. But there are some question that might jump their idea into garbage and some not.

WHY WE NEED CHROME OS?

3. Because Windows needs more competition
Nearly two decades after Microsoft Windows conquered the PC, very few real challenges have been mounted against its dominance. Long-time rival Apple Macintosh has recently had a resurgence, but it’s still hovering at less than 10% of the total market. This market is ripe for innovation and a new competitor. In many quarters, Windows fatigue has set in, especially in the notoriously price-conscious consumer market and in light of the Vista debacle. The virus, spyware, and security troubles of Windows are its biggest weaknesses and Google is wise to target those soft spots with Chrome OS.

2. Because Chrome OS will be cheap
Google has confirmed that the Chrome OS will be open source and will not have any licensing fees. That will enable Chrome OS-based netbooks to be cheaper than both Windows-based netbooks and ARM-based smartbooks from Qualcomm. Plus, once we start talking about nettops, it’s entirely possible that we could see a $100 PC (without monitor) running the Chrome OS.

1. Because it’s from Google
Google is the 800-pound gorilla of the Internet. Because of its brand strength and star power, it’s always a big deal when Google enters new markets. Nothing that Google does will go unnoticed or fail simply because it didn’t get enough exposure.

BUT YOU THING IT IS RELEVANT?

4. It’s running Linux
So is 2010 going to be the year of Linux on the desktop since Chrome OS is based on Linux? Every year for the past decade was supposed to be “The Year of Linux on the Desktop.” It hasn’t happened and it’s not because it was an idea ahead of its time or it needed a stronger champion. The mass market has rejected Linux on the desktop. Linux is nothing more (or less) than a niche OS loved by a loyal group of highly-technical users. Even Google can’t change that, unless it’s prepared to write Linux device drivers for all of the world’s printers, digital cameras, keyboards, and mice.

3. It’s too late
By the time Chrome OS is released, Windows 7 will be everywhere (at least in the consumer market) and Mac OS X will be faster and simpler with the release of Snow Leopard. If Google really wanted to make a powerful entrance into the OS market, the time to do it would have been mid-2007 when it was obvious that Windows Vista was a failure and it would take Microsoft a couple years to fix it. The opportunity for an OS to make a major impact on the PC market has passed. The OS just isn’t that important anymore. Windows and Mac both do a pretty good job of making the OS get out of the way as quickly and easily as possible. Chrome OS probably won’t be able to do that because it will start out with massive device driver incompatibilities with PC accessories.

2. Google hasn’t proven it can build an OS
Google hasn’t exactly knocked anyone’s socks off with Android, its mobile OS. While Android has potential and still has time to develop, it feels like beta software in a market that demands greater “finish” and attention to detail (see iPhone and Palm Pre). Plus, Android itself was originally touted to be a netbook OS. Therefore, the release of Chrome OS is a de facto indictment against Android, despite the fact that Google executives have tried to downplay it. Maybe Google has realized that the Java software sitting on top of a Linux codebase in Android would have severe performance limitations on a PC. Whatever the case may be, the fact that Google will have overlapping netbook operating systems does not inspire a lot of confidence that Google knows what it’s doing in the OS market or has a sound strategy.

1. It’s limited to netbooks
So here’s the skinny on netbooks. They have two great features: They are small and cheap. They also have two big drawbacks: They are terrible and a lot of consumers regret buying them (verified by a recent NPD survey). The consumer backlash against netbooks has already begun and by the time we see Chrome OS netbooks from Google’s hardware partners in the second half of 2010, the netbook phenomenon will either have retreated into the background or morphed into something better. And then Google will have to scramble to make Chrome OS available on a wider variety of notebook computers, as well as on nettops.

Can you imagine running full windows xp on the small screen? Thats what happen with BenQ MID s6. Only equipped with 4.8″ screen, they run with full Windows Xp. The S6 model is built with Atom processor, speed at 800 Mhz. The memory is 512 MB DDR2 RAM. The BenQ momentum is to replace “real” web browsing into full mobile capacity. What I mean by real is that, we will get what ever we do from desktop/ laptop when we browse from BenQ MID S6. Compare to other PDA, which are using either Symbian based browser, Opera mobile, mobile internet explorer or even slumpy Apple safari mobile version. With the full support of Web file formats, you can even run Google chrome on it.

It support 3G and WIFI connection. But it would be awesome if the model come with GSM/CDMA support and  we’re just not sure anyone wants to pay $424 (RM 1400) for XP on a 4.8-inch screen with an 800MHz processor .On the other hand, can you really put a price on “100% Web Experience?”

Who says world-class high performance computing (HPC) should be reserved for large research centers? It has become no impossible today to have a very high capacity and perfromance computer, or simply called as a super computer at your home. This can happen with Cray CX1. The Cray CX1™ deskside personal supercomputer is the “right size” in performance, functionality, and cost for individuals and departmental workgroups who want to harness HPC without the complexity of traditional clusters.

Equipped with powerful Intel® Xeon® processors and state-of-the-art visualization and storage capabilities, the Cray CX1 supercomputer delivers industry-leading performance across a broad range of applications and standard benchmarks, all in a compact, deskside system that plugs into a standard wall outlet. And, with an integrated Microsoft or Linux operating environment, the Cray CX1 supercomputer delivers true “ease of everything” computing, allowing any user to apply HPC power to challenging science, engineering, and design problems. Designed and priced for individuals and departmental workgroups, the Cray CX1 is simple to configure, deploy, administer and use. With the Cray CX1 supercomputer, Cray takes the HPC cluster out of the data center and places it next to your desk.

Featuring Intel Xeon processor technology, the Cray CX1 supercomputer is a certified Intel Cluster Ready system. The certification program, sponsored by Intel, was designed to establish a common specification among original equipment manufacturers, independent software vendors (ISVs) and others for designing, programming and deploying clusters built with Intel components. For users, the certification means that the Cray CX1 system will support a wide range of Intel Cluster Ready ISV applications out of the box.

Virtualization is the most important element if you want to work parallely between Windows and Linux, most ly done by some software, VMWare for an example. However, thinking ofr working between windows and Mac side by side would be a great opportunity to grab. You can you Parallel Dekstop (4) to make this thing works.

Installing Parallels Desktop 4 is super easy. As soon as you’re done with that, just slide your original copy of Vista inside you’re Mac’s slot loading tray. Surely you’ll want to start installing straight away so, at the Welcome screen, choose Start Using Parallels Desktop. Hit continue and Parallels will detect that a copy of Vista is “in the building.” The software will have a look at your hardware (hard drive size, optical unit, video, RAM) and will hand some power over to the virtual machine you’re creating. Before you know it, you’re already looking at the black Power On Self Test screen (POST).

Installing Vista through Parallels is really the same thing as on a PC, although some processes may take longer. It will take between 45-50 minutes to install, and maybe one hour before you can actually start using your first application inside Vista. However, unlike Apple’s Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop is a solution for running “guest” operating systems within OS X. What this means is that you can run OS X and Windows side by side, working between the two as if they were two Finder / Explorer windows. This feature alone is worth every penny!

After installing Vista on your machine, you have a few options on how you want to work. One of those is “Coherence mode.” In Coherence mode, you can have Windows Vista applications right there in your OS X Dock, with no Vista desktop. Basically, you have just the number of Vista applications and features when you need them, while your view isn’t clogged up with the entire Vista desktop.Of course, other users will need to work with both OSes at the same time, using all their features to the max. For them, the Window view is appropriate. Not enough? Need to work even more in Vista, you say? Go into full screen mode (Alt+Cmd+Return) and you’ll see your Mac’s desktop fully replicated in Vista. Everything is there - files, folders, even disk images - but not your Macintosh HD. You can, however, use Parallels Shared Folders to access your Mac’s “home” folder. While Parallels won’t let you mess with your Mac’s applications, it will let you edit and move files created and edited in Mac OS X.

The Good

What else is there to add? Parallels’ purpose speaks for itself. Isn’t it enough that it practically creates a PC out of thin air using your Mac’s hardware? Even better, no constant rebooting and sharing privileges are required. Every Windows-specific program / device is now usable on your Mac!

The Bad

Undoubtedly, there are several other issues / constraints to mention when intensive computing is done with OS X and Vista side by side. However, for normal use, the only drawback is the system requirements. If you really want to use Vista on your Mac, without ruining either (OS) experience, better pack some serious memory and at least the above-mentioned 2Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The price can also be considered a bit too high, given that the user must also fork out some cash for a copy of Vista.

The Truth

Overall, you can’t pass on running Windows stuff on your Mac, let alone doing it side by side with your favorite Mac OS X applications. Plus, sharing a hard drive between two OSes can be pretty convenient at times. Leaving aside the hanging and the freezing that can occur at times, Parallels Desktop 4 makes a good asset for any Mac user.
