Too Little To Late. After a long wait of 30 months and after more than 30,000 app in Android Market, Google has some how realized that there can be an Android App of Orkut too!  So, today Google launches its Official ”Orkut for Android” App. Orkut for Android allows you to create a “Orkut Friends Live Folder” on your Home Screen that lets you browse and communicate to your friends directly. Orkut for Android also allows you upload pics directly from the Android device to your Orkut album. Obviously it has a Scrap notification that will appear directly on the devices notification bar.

Google has started this year with the launch of the much hyped Android phone Nexus One which puts Google in straight competition with Apple. But in its early days Nexus One seems like a flop show. According to the estimates from a mobile analytics firm Flurry, reveals that the after the first 74 days of Nexus One Launch, Google has just been able to sell only 135k units. During the same duration the iPhone (1st generation) has sold 1 million units and surprisingly Motorola Droid sold 1.05 million which is more than iPhone. Nexus Phone which was seen as the iPhone killer has fallen flat in its attempt. Nexus One is a great phone comparable or even better than Droid and has same Android OS which the Droid has. So why Droid has gone past iPhone numbers in its early days and Nexus One is being left way behind in the race of smart-phones. You can’t just point one reasons for that. But I am just mentioning a few.

The pre-order for the iPad is on and its selling like hot cakes. Leave aside all the iPad Launch disappointments – no multi tasking, no flash, no USB Drive… blah blah. Apple fans were tracking the iPad sales right form the starting. This is what Phanfare has to say -

We just bought two iPads, about 30 minutes apart. Our order IDs are 10,000 apart. Assuming those order IDs are sequential, and they appear to be, then Apple is selling 20,000 iPads per hour.

Simply awesome! (more…)

From now onwards you don’t have to update your status message but you have to tweet your status message in Twitter. Twitter has done a minor change to its interface by changing the wording of update button to tweet which is basically used to update your status message. It is the most obvious change which doesn’t require any explanation. Its too obvious we tweet, we don’t update.

Don't Update Just Tweet

I have never seen Steve Jobs without a turtle neck in recent times. But he was seen in a tuxedo (you heard it right) in recently concluded Oscar Event. This change of outfit from turtleneck to tux is just for the love for insanely great iPad. It was the day of unveiling iPad’s first ever commercial at the the Oscars (Watch the ad below). iPad ad was featured twice at the Oscars. This is the perfect place to generate pre-launch hype around iPad which is hitting the stores on 3rd April. Jobs just knows how to market his products.

This comes from Israel. A military raid on suspected militants in West Bank had to be rolled off after one of the Israeli soldiers updated his Facebook status with a stupid message which went some thing like this

“On Wednesday we clean up Qatanah, and on Thursday, god willing, we come home.”

Reports in Israeli newpapaer Haaretz also suggests that the soldier also leaked the name of the combat unit, the place of the operation and the time of operation. This was discovered by the military when his Facebook friends reported about this to the military authorities. (more…)

The heading of the post looks as if I am going to talk about pornography, which is quite awkward for a tech blog. But we are here to introduce you to a gadget that will expose and embarrass you if you are too much into pornography. I know that most of you teens out there hide your porn collection of photos and videos in some hideous location in your computer, so that nobody can find them. But your life can be disrupted by a new device called “Porn Detection Stick” from Paraben. This device is a USB stick, which can be plugged into any computer, and it can detect illicit images from your hard drive. You can’t also see some porn photos and delete them as it can also scan deleted photos (Don’t know how its working, may be through some data recovery software). Guys have some sigh of relief: It can’t detect pornographic videos present in your computer (only photos), so you can go about watching them.

Steve ~ I Want You To Stop Stealing From Us

By now every one under the sun knows that Apple has sued HTC and apparently it has got less to do with HTC and a lot to do with Google & Android. After all HTC is the manufacturer of Nexus One and uses Android in a lot of its phone.

Although Steve Jobs is right when he says in the press release

“We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”

Some guys from a Denver design company Aten Design group are going to kill Internet Explorer 6 today i.e. 1st March and they are also inviting people for a funeral ceremony on 4th March 2010 in the memory of IE6. Ya its true. They have designed a separate website named ie6funeral.com especially for this occasion. You can actually reply to them that whether you want to attend the funeral. There is also the option to buy T-shirts in order to support this event. The funeral service has already received an overwhelming response that is why the organizers of this event have moved this event to new location in order to accommodate more people.
