HTC Pro 7 to be released in Janruary

On a German website 02, it was said that the HTC 7 Pro will be available early next year, and now say that it's expected to launch in January for Europe. I'm not very fond of WP7 (Windows Phone 7), but I quite like some of the Android HTC phones. The hardware doesn't look too bad, and the phone itself is looking pretty nice, but its running WP7, which means I won't be buying it unless Android is hacked onto it. Well, I hope those Android hackers do get Android onto that nice-looking device!
Again, Merry Christmas!

Skype bring video calling to iPhone

Well, looks like engadget got some interesting news in their inbox this morning. Engadget says that they recieved an email from Skype with a help document on how to enable video calling on the iPhone. Skype later removed this. But, Engadget says that "...it was there, we swear!". Hopefully this will come for Android soon! Skype is participating in something called "Video Calling is Ready for Primetime", so everyone's guessing it's probably going to announce this. As you know, I'm not much of a fan of Apple, but I'm reporting this because you need to watch "your" competitors closely, and because I think Video Calling for Android is on its way! Merry Christmas!

Nexus S (Rumored Nexus 2)

I'm quite a bit late on this news, I've been busy. The Nexus S, the successor to Nexus 1, was released. It runs Gingerbread, the latest Android version (2.3). It was made by Samsung, so it is pretty much another Galaxy S phone. One feature that makes this smartphone different that all the other is the fact that the screen is curved. That's right, the screen is curved, and called a "contour screen". It feels pretty nice against your ear! It's got a front facing VGA camera too! Looks like this phone could stand up pretty well to the iPhone 4! Apple has the Retina Display, and Google has the Contour display. This phone will almost certainly be the phone that Google uses to show off anything about Android, as was Nexus 1. Post in the comments if you have this awesome Android-powered device!

Top 10 Chrome Web Apps

I know that it's been a while since I last posted; I've been very busy. Lots of things have happened: the Chrome Event on December 7th with the testing of the Chrome Laptops and the Chrome web store has opened. To sum up December 7th, Google talked about Chrome, and announced the CR-48 laptop: It runs Chrome OS! It's not for sale, but you can register for the test pilot program, which is free. Also, the Chrome Web Store opened, and lots of web apps came out: they are pretty much shortcuts to websites. Here's a list of my top 10 web apps:
1. Gmail You just have to have Gmail
2. Super Mario Bros. Crossover  Well, that's what you do in your free time
3. Ping Pong 3D a fun but challenging game of ping pong
4. Chain Reaction You set a ball in place, and it expands, which triggers anything touching it. Very addicting
5. Solve a Cypher Perfect for a long time stuck with your computer
6. Pixlr Editor Pretty much like Photoshop. Online. Free
7. World of Solitaire Solitaire. That speaks for itself
8. Shredder Chess That speaks for itself as well
9. Fish Eater You're a small fish that eats small fish. You get bigger. You eat bigger fish. It's fun.
10. Zoho Writer The most complete online Word Processor
