Available until now, Google applications and Google Music + we will offer you, are those that will be theoretically pre-installed with the next version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Both applications have been broadly reviewed, in order to provide an interface more accessible and comfortable to use.

Particularly with the new tab, clickable icons on the slopes and the shortcuts of the music played changed, "read" and "next song" were deleted in favor of "research." The bubble that appears press and hold on a song or artist has been changed, removing the ability to select the music available in offline mode (offline) ... Apart from that, the player interface is also seen refreshes, with the ability to love or not listened to the songs in the album, to listen more or less often the track in question.

Nexus One is one of the worst tech fail of 2010

Guess who else made it to CNN’s top ten tech fail of the year 2010? Nexus One. But the question which arises is this, does the first Google branded handset deserve to be in top tech failures list. Before we answer this question, I think it makes sense to determine why CNN chose to include Nexus One in the not so proud list of failures, in which iPhone 4 antennagate leads the sinking ship.
Nexus One’s name was taken because of the unusual sales model (sell online) that Google adopted :

Google does not slow down the pace and now offers Google Chrome 10 in the development branch of their browser. A version number that changes every now about 6 weeks and no longer means anything, even if it offers a small smile when we see that the firm of Mountain View is worth noting that this is exactly the version 10.0.612.1 [dev 10.0 - 33.2 MB - Mac OS X 10.5].

mobile google docs Google Docs mobile editing now available for Android, iPhone, and iPad
Google Docs has finally started rolling out support for mobile editing of Google Docs on smartphone platforms like Android OS and iOS! As the defacto cloud-based document collaboration tool of choice among enterprise and consumers alike, Google Docs has become something of a ubiquitous service for many. Unfortunately, we’ve been left pining for months for Google to make Google Docs fully functional on Android and iOS web browsers. Until today, the service was basically a read-only deal for anyone with a mobile phone running Android OS or iOS. That all changes with the announcement that Docs can now be edited from Android phones and iPhones running the newer versions of their respective mobile operating systems.
Google confirmed today that it is rolling out this highly requested feature to English-users around the world. With this new feature,  you will be able to use your mobile phone to update a memo on the fly, add to a presentation while waiting for your flight, or review overnight document changes during your morning bus commute.
