Some of you might remember a program known as BlindType, a program that would predict words no matter how they are input.
I’ve just received word that Google has bought up Blind Type, which probably means that it will make one heck of an Android App. In fact, BlindType is very “excited to join Google, and look forward to the great opportunities for mobile innovation that lie ahead”.
Verizon Droid has been making the news a lot with its Froyo treatment.
Right now, you can get the Incredible and get another phone for nothing. For those of you who are not familiar, this Incredible has a 3.7 inch display (480 x 800 resolution), 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8GB internal storage, 8 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi b/g/n, and Android 2.2.
So that’s going to be $199.99 for the Incredible, and nothing for your second phone.
We’ve heard several rumors in the past that Apple is working on an iMac with a built-in touchscreen and more heat has continuously been added to the fire. If you’ll remember we told you about the patent that Apple filed (included above) that shows a convertible iMac which can be used as a traditional all-in-one computer or a touchscreen table like device.
Today, even more rumors have emerged that say Apple is already receiving large touch panels from a company dubbed Sintek Photonics. Unfortunately, these touch screens are said to be just for testing but if the rumors are true we have a good idea of what’s to come. Size-wise, the new touchscreens are pinned at about 20-inches which would fall in line nicely with the sizes of the iMacs.
When exactly we’re going to see a touch screen touting iMac, if ever, we’re not sure but would any of you be interested in such a thing?
Google’s Android mobile operating system has seen its way onto a whole slew of devices. While most of these devices are tablets and smartphones, the mobile platform has also emerged powering various netbooks.
Some have argued that while the novelty of such a thing is nice it’s not very practical considering Android was made for a mobile slate device and not so much a clamshell touting laptop/netbook. The Toshiba AC100 is a perfect example of such a netbook that is powered by Android and despite getting generally positive reception owners have been wanting a bit more functionality out of the device.
Today, I’m proud to announce that the hacking community has managed to do away with Android on the AC100 and instead install the full fledged Ubutntu 10.10 desktop operating system. Unfortunately the install is still in its infancy so not many things work but as development continues that is sure to change.
When a public release is finalized we’ll let you know.
HTC has released several Android powered devices in the past for just about every major US wireless carrier. The next such device they are looking to reach has been called the HTC Merge or the HTC Lexicon. While we haven’t had any official confirmation to its existence we have had several leaks in the past that have showcased the device.
The most recent leak regarding the HTC Merge/Lexicon’s full user manual. Our friends over at Droid-Life managed to secure the manual and have posted it online for all to see. Unfortunately it doesn’t tell us much that we don’t already know but it does list the product as having Bing and worldly connectivity.
We’ll keep you posted as much information regarding the HTC Merge/Lexicon is made known.
