Google Introduces an iPhone Rival Open to Whims
SAN FRANCISCO — Google and T-Mobile unveiled their answer to the iPhone on Tuesday, pulling the wraps off a slick mobile device that combines a touch screen and a keyboard and is aimed at putting the Internet in the pockets of millions of cellphone users.
The T-Mobile G1 will cost $179, $20 less than the iPhone.

The Google founders Larry Page, left, and Sergey Brin introduced the G1 on Tuesday in New York. The G1, Google’s smartphone joint venture with T-Mobile, will have an applications store.
The T-Mobile G1, which will be available in the United States on Oct. 22, is the first mobile phone to be powered by Google’s Android operating system. It represents a milestone in Google’s efforts to extend its dominance of the PC-based Internet to mobile phones and further loosen the control that wireless carriers have over what consumers can do with their phones.
Analysts said that the G1 did not represent the kind of revolutionary change in design and function that Apple introduced last year with the iPhone. But the G1 is likely to further accelerate two trends that will have a lasting impact on the wireless industry: the growing use of the Internet on the go, and the ability of consumers to customize their phones with their favorite functions.

Google's Dream Phone Out
Hi,
Folks, the lab is happy to share information about the other big gaint GOOGLE Phones. If you ever feared the Google phone (also known as HTC Dream, HTC G1 and so on) doesn't exist, fear no more: the Android-powered weird-shaped device has recently appeared in a mini-set of live images, caressed by sun and a pair of mysterious hands.
So, following Rene Descartes' “I think, therefore I am” reasoning, the G-phone can easily say “I appear in photos, therefore I am”. Makes sense, right? Its existence, I mean. And it makes even more sense knowing that, just a few days ago, the Android handset was (sort of) confirmed to be hitting T-Mobile USA, presumably on September 23. Also presumably, the handset will be sold for as little as 199 bucks, together with a contract agreement for two years (just like AT&T is selling Apple's 8GB iPhone). To know more and for the photos of the phone, Click here...

Google's Chrome Ups the Ante
This is an article from www.businessweek.com, i would love to share this with you lab folks...
Browser wars? On steroids. When Google (GOOG)
announced on Sept. 1 that it was releasing its own Web browser, Chrome,
the immediate buzz was that the bruising battles over browser
domination, played out between Netscape and Microsoft (MSFT) in the late 1990s, were back on.
Browser wars? On steroids. When Google (GOOG)
announced on Sept. 1 that it was releasing its own Web browser, Chrome,
the immediate buzz was that the bruising battles over browser
domination, played out between Netscape and Microsoft (MSFT) in the late 1990s, were back on.
Google, though, has much bigger ambitions. The goal, say Google execs,
is not merely to win share of an existing market, but to change the
very nature of Internet browsing—and the way we use computers. If
Chrome works as planned, it will lead much of computing from the
desktop—Microsoft's domain—toward remote data centers. These, in
Google's lingo, are known as the "cloud." Google runs the biggest and
most efficient data centers on earth, and moving much of the world's
computing from desktops into its clouds is the heart of the company's
strategy. "Google really believes the future of the Web is running
applications on the Web," says Danny Sullivan, who runs Calafia
Consulting, a Web consulting firm. "They want to be leading the
charge."
As this battle commences, Microsoft enjoys a towering head start.
Its Internet Explorer dominates the browser market, with 75% share. And
Microsoft is launching its latest upgrade, IE8, which is loaded with
new features. Google's Chrome, by contrast, appears bare-bones. Its
power, say Google engineers, will come from its ability to run
applications faster and more securely, especially those hosted outside
the PC, on the cloud. Unlike Google's top-secret search algorithms or
the proprietary software it uses to carry out its searches, Chrome was
born as an open-source system.
Asking More of Browsers
To understand what's new, think of Netscape, the browsing sensation
14 years ago at the dawn of the World Wide Web. The goal back then was
simply to open and read Web pages. This is still important, of course,
whether Web surfers are reading a story in The New York Times or checking out a friend's home page on MySpace. Most browsers today, including Mozilla Firefox and Apple's (AAPL) Safari, have grown to provide that Web browsing service.
Google, though, wants people to use browsers to do much more,
particularly to run software applications, like word processing,
spreadsheets, video editing, and conferencing. In Google's scheme, the
browser is a gateway into the clouds, one that will eventually be
tapped from anywhere—a PC, a mobile phone, perhaps even a television.
And many of the applications available in the clouds, from calendars to
e-mail, will likely compete directly with Microsoft's dominant suite of
Office applications, including Excel and Outlook. Says Google
co-founder Sergey Brin:
"What we have is a lightweight engine for running Web applications that
doesn't have the baggage of an operating system." Investors on Sept. 2
drove up Google shares nearly 2%, to 465.25.To know more, CLICK HERE...

HP to cut 24,600 jobs following EDS takeover 16 Sep, 2008, 0424 hrs IST, REUTERS
SAN FRANCISCO: Hewlett-Packard Co plans to cut 7.5 percent of its work force, or 24,600 jobs, seeking to realize savings from its recent acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corp, the company said on Monday.
HP said it will carry out the cutbacks over the next three years, while replacing about half the jobs in new areas of its services business. It announced the plan ahead of a meeting with Wall Street analysts to detail the merger plans.
Nearly half of the job reductions will take place in the United States, the Palo Alto, California-based company said. EDS was headquartered in Plano, Texas, near Dallas.
HP said it will take a charge of $1.7 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter ending in October. Accounting for goodwill will cost $1.4 billion, while cost of the restructuring will involve anther $300 million.
HP estimated $1.8 billion in annual cost savings once the three-year cost-cutting program is completed.
"We are good at integrating companies ... I believe we will do it well," Chairman and Chief Executive Mark Hurd told financial analysts at the company's headquarters.
At the time the $13.2 billion merger of computer services provider EDS into HP was announced in May, Hewlett-Packard counted 178,000 employees on its books and EDS had 142,000 employees. Including the value of common stock, options and restricted stock units, the enterprise value of the deal totals $13.9 billion. The deal closed last month.
Hewlett-Packard said the vast majority of the cuts would focus on eliminating overlapping jobs at EDS in corporate functions such as legal, accounting, information technology and human resources.
Work-force reduction plans will vary by country, based on local legal requirements and consultation with works councils and employee representatives, HP said. The company will provide employees affected by this restructuring program with severance packages, counseling and job placement services.
