In the beginning, there were rumors. Then Google said let it be ‘dogfood’ and now we are clearer than ever before on what the search giant and Android creator is planning to do with an exclusive Android phone. To sum it up in short — this is going to be definitive Android phone for the coming year. Now read on for further details.
Alright folks, this one could be looked back upon as a small milestone in a big phenomenon or it could be just a blip in the ever changing mobile OS scenario. But it is more likely to be the first option. Google’s Android has just crossed the 20,000 apps mark. That means it has achieved about 1/5th of the App Store’s last milestone. That does not mean however that the platform is lagging behind that much.
Intel’s Gulftown Chips have been leaked. Again. This time, they have been leaked in full detail and also as part of Intel’s roadmap for the coming year. It looks the previous rumors of the thing were pretty much spot on. It is a hexacore processor and it is a first for Intel.
Contrary some rumors though — the new hexacore CPUs that are code named Gulftown, will not be branded as ‘Core i9’. They will instead be branded as part of the Core i7 line and will carry an ‘x’ at the end. The upcoming processor will be sold as the Core i7-980x Extreme Edition.
Apple has received multiple Adweek awards in Adweek’s Best of 2000s awards. Adweek has awarded the company so many awards that it is seems a bit skewed. But since these awards are for marketing and advertising talent, Apple (and Steve) deserves every bit of it.
So to start things off with a bang, Steve Jobs has been awarded the ‘Marketer of the Decade’ Award. If you think about his stunning keynotes and the ingenious ways he has marketed his products, you will know why he deserves this and more. He is the man who changed entire industries in fell sweeps. So this is something that he well and truly deserves.
We all know that eBooks are the next industry that is going to explode, now that digital music has pretty much gone digital and now going the streaming way.

It seems like the X100e is just one of multiple ThinkPad branded netbooks that Lenovo is bringing out. Some new models were recently spotted on the FCC and they were all clubbed under the ThinkPad branding. This could get really exciting.

You have got to hand it to Apple. They don’t even have to announce a product to get industries to clean up their act. This has been proven by the not-yet-official Apple Tablet. So what if we do not have a fixed name, a size, a live shot or even the name of one major component manufacturer – the rumors all seem to be falling into place pretty well.
Yes folks, it is pretty real. HTC’s 2010 roadmap was recently released and it clearly shows that a 1GHz SnapDragon powered Android phone with a gorgeous screen really is in the making.
It looks like HTC has no clue about how to keep a lid on things. They have been constantly leaking information and spy shots into the public. This time, their entire roadmap for 2010 has been leaked. At least the roadmap for the first half of 2010 anyway.

The CrunchPad has always been mired in complications, contradictions and general commotion. Of course, those speed bumps are expected when an industry outsider tried to manufacturer a mainstream computing device. And now, the long list of complications has a new entry – legal issues.
For those who have not been keeping track – CrunchPad is Michael Arrington’s dream device. It is basically a touchscreen-based MID – a tablet that is mainly meant to browse the Internet. Arrington wanted this to be something really affordable and hence he tried to keep the cost down to $200.
