Apple has announced just a short while back that it has sold only two million iPads till now despite of the international launch in nine countries. If they have sold 1 million iPads in 28 days in U.S alone then there is nothing surprising about selling 2 million iPads in 59 days with few hundred thousands sold outside US. This hasn’t come like a bolt from the blue. They have also announced that the iPad will be also coming to nine more countries by July and they haven’t yet spilled the names of those countries (may be India is included in it). Apple has said typically in their style about this feat.

Facebook has received all the backlash from media and tech pundits/bloggers about the latest privacy changes and security loopholes in the recent days. People are also scared that Facebook is becoming too big thing to control in near future. This is just another hype created by media, which will die out in the course of time, and people will get used to the new privacy changes like they have done it in the past. If Facebook would have rolled out new features by asking for permission from users, it wouldn’t have been what it is today. With more than 400 million users and 500 million visits in a month, Facebook is not going anywhere, this is just the transition state for them and they will surely get over it.

It doesn’t support Flash, there is no multitasking in it, there is no web cam for video chat, no keyboard and many more features – This is the rundown of reviews received by a device, as soon as it was announced. I am talking about the most revolutionary and the fastest sold gadget of all times, the so-called magical device  “iPad”. Apple has officially announced that the iPad has sold over 1 million units in just 28 days, which means that it is even more successful product than iPhone. What the man behind iPad, Steve Jobs has to say about his just another feat.

One million iPads in 28 days—that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone. Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”

In a rare move, Microsoft has announced a patent licensing deal with HTC which will allow HTC to use Microsoft patents for Android mobile platform handsets. In return, Microsoft will get undisclosed amount of money for every phone HTC will sell. Just two months back, Apple filed a patent infringing case against HTC that was targeted indirectly at Google.  This deal can help HTC to make their patent case against Apple even and also they can use Microsoft’s pool of patents without fear of getting sued.

Ning is getting crazy! Ning the build-your-own social network will be a paid service as confirmed by a mail send by the new CEO of Ning to his employees. What does this mean to the existing network users? Simple, pay for your existing network or else your network will be no more. This is not all; about 40% of employees to be precise 70 employees will be axed from the company. Ning’s new CEO Jason Rosenthal just sent a mail to his employees mentioning these two big announcements. Just a month ago, co-founder of Ning Gina Bianchini stepped down from the post of CEO.

How much time you usually take for typing a meaningful message of 160 characters using a touch screen? Franklin Page, a intern in a startup called Swype has created a Guinness World Record for texting 160 characters using a touch screen in just 35.54 seconds beating the previous record of 40.91 seconds. This was not a ordinary touch screen, he was using a Samsung Omnia II mobile phone using a new type of text-input technology Swype. We have talked about Swype and how it is faster than iPhone’s touch screen in texting. And I quote from our previous posts.

Google has announced a moment ago in their blogpost that they are closing down all of their search operations in China. From now onwards Google.cn will redirect to Google.com.hk. This is a black day for the open web and China. Google has stopped censoring their search services Google Search, News and Images on Google.cn and it will redirected to Google.com.hk where all the uncensored results will come in Chinese language. In simple words Google is just shifting their servers from China to Hong Kong. Google’s map and music search will remain live in China domain as of now. Google will continue to have their R&D center in China and also a sales team if and only if China doesn’t start blocking Google.com.hk.

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.
