Sony unveils Android P and S

“It’s not about who makes them first, but who makes them better.” That’s how Sony’s Sir Howard Stringer announced his upcoming tablets.

To me it sounds like "better late than never" .

Having said that,  Sony's new android tablets S and P looks neat and simple just like their names.

Running on Honeycomb both models have all the standard goodies, IPS display and Sony exclusives like Bravia engine and playstation connectivity.  As they haven't disclosed the hardware,  I guess it must be a standard dual core proccessor or wishfully a Sony quad cell processor. 

While S is a standard tablet, P is a dual screen device with 2 1024x480 displays that can work independently or in tandem. while such devices have been seen earlier none have been successful yet.

Sony S could be a game changer if it can run two different apps on both it's screen. I would love to have my browser on one screen while my mail or chat running on the other screen. Or even have the video  playing on top screen while I browse through my albums on the bottom screen.

Possibilities are endless with such a dual screen device. Hope Sony gets the best out of it.

Steve Jobs Resigns As CEO Of Apple | TechCrunch

After leading the Computer and mobile device evolution for over 2 decades giving us a whole lot of fantastic,  suprising and seemingly impossible devices, it is hard to imagine a tech world without Steve.

Apple doomsayers see this as the end of Apple's leadership, maybe even Industry rivals see it that way.

However, like all great companies, Apple will continue to outperform in the years to come.

With imagination so wild and pipeline so huge there Apple will remain an unstoppable Juggernaut!

Google does buy Motorola Holdings



So, as expected, Google is buying out Motorola Mobile Holdings (hefty price to pay). That removes almost all doubts  on whether Android will continue to dominate the war front of Mobile device evolution. 

With Patent battles tightening up, it was clear that Google is vulnerable to suits from Apple and Microsoft. But as Software industry giants like Oracle joined the party, Google pretty much had no other option than to buy out the next available option.


After Loosing out on the Nortel patent auction, Google had no much option left other than buy out Motorola Mobile Holdings, which could grant it much respite in the multiple patent infringement cases that Android OS now faces.

I am pretty much excited about this union for the possibilities it offers. Especially with regards to a new class and a new breed of devices that will get hooked up to the cloud all thanks to Android.
