CES 2011 is just around the corner which means a whole slew of new devices and technologies are sure to get announced. While we’ve had some speculation over what will be announced, new rumors and reports are surfacing left and right. The latest of such rumors to surface is one surrounding the popular VoIP service Skype.

Skype has been an immensely popular voice and video chatting service for desktop platforms but has made its way to mobile platforms like iOS and Android as well. However, one thing that the mobile application does not feature is the ability to make video conference calls – a highly sought after featured offering by competitors like fring.

However, Skype has begun sending out invites to an event they will be holding during CES 2011. What exactly with the VoIP giant be announcing, you ask? Well, our best best (and half the Internet’s) is that they will finally be taking the wraps off of their mobile video calling service.

Unfortunately, until that is made official, that remains nothing more than speculation.

Google is really making quite an impact today with things like Android 2.3, 3.0, Chrome OS and even their Chrome web browser. While they came to the game quite late with their Chrome web browser, they have seen an immense amount of growth with many users making the switch from more popular browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox.

One of the biggest advantages the Chrome browser features is the fact that it’s quite fast when compared to the others (depending how you look at it).

Now, Chrome has another advantage in the form of the recently launched Chrome Web Store. This virtual store will allow Chrome users to download and install a plethora of applications ranging from TweetDeck to Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. Right now, the offerings are a bit slim but if you search around a bit you’re sure to find something that applies to you.

Has anyone checked out the Chrome Web Store? If so, what are your favorite applications?

When it comes to web browsers there are quite a few different competitors to consider. First of all there is Internet Explorer which comes installed stock on all Windows computers and Safari which comes stock on all Macs. However, once we look past that there are ever so popular web browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Opera.

Out of these three, Firefox has caused the most commotion amassing a huge loyal following that soaks up every bit of Firefox they can get. Android users who fall into this category will be happy to hear that Mozilla has announced that a beta version of Firefox Mobile will be hitting the Android market before the end of this month.

When we get official confirmation as to exactly what day the Firefox beta will be dropping for Android, we’ll send it your way.
