The all new Google Mobile from its Labs

The all new Google Mobile Service

Google SMS Channels is Google’s solution to SMS groups message broadcasting and subscription. This service enables you to get content from Google, Google partners, and all other websites and blogs with RSS support.


You can create your own channel and publish content that other users can subscribe to. You can also create groups over SMS to communicate with your friends, family, and co-workers, just like the SMS GupShup service.
This is a free service. You don’t pay anything to send or receive messages using Google SMS Channels website. When you post a message to your channel, all the members of your channel get the message forwarded for free. Any Indian mobile number will work with this service.


Google SMS Channel uses the normal number 9870807070, and not the premium short codes. So any SMS charge you incur is as low as you sending an SMS to your friend. There is no charge for receiving the updates.
SMS tariff charges may apply when you configure the service or publish to a channel using a mobile phone. Most of you don’t do this unless you want to start a new channel.
You can use the service on the website or via your mobile phone.

Most wanted Gadgets 2010



Project Natal










It was the most surprising gadget in the past edition of E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009). And although it looks like a very futuristic project, it will be released this year. Project Natal eliminates the need of a physical controller when playing. Instead, there is a camera that seems a webcam; that camera is used to register the motion of the player, so… the only controller is the player itself.
Apple Tablet








Apparently, this gadget will be a sort of Macbook with touch capabilities that will look like an iPod Touch (or iPhone) with bigger dimensions. Anyway, it is still a mystery. And according to some rumors, Microsoft is also preparing its own version.



A new iPhone




There are strong rumors we will see the true successor of the iPhone this year. Also, we are still waiting the iPhone Nano (a smaller and cheaper version); who knows? Maybe it is coming.
4G telephony

It is expected that the 4G technology will be launched this year. This technology will have target peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s. That way, the cell phone makers would add new and advanced features and services to their products.
Nintendo DSi LL







This is a handheld game console with displays that are much larger than the current displays of the Nintendo DSi (93% greater). It also comes with two stylus pens and three preloaded games.
