Where the heck is this technology going ?

by Puck Email

So i come to you again, after yesterday writing about the Google HTC, my mind has changed, i don't want the Google HTC phone, forget it. :P

Small research with my friend G (my friend G = Google), and we've come up to things i never knew off. I'll start with asking if you remember those touchscreen like things in a movie with Tom Cruise, in Mission Impossible 2 ? When he just moves his fingers on a screen, and things move an twirl and everything you can imagine ? That doesn't seem like impossible anymore right ? Well it seems it's not, atleast this is what the Toshiba guys said in Berlin last month.

Okay, so let's see something else. Touchscreen phones. Pffffttt, i can tell you, i've been having a head acke in thinking about what phone to get. We are writing 2008's end, and what do we have on the market now ? Like literally on the market:
iPhone 3g
iPhone
T-Mobile G1
T-Mobile G1
LG Prada
LG
LG Viewty
Viewty
And much more I don't even know off. In 2 months time (in my country) there are a couple of phones coming up, like Nokia XpressMusic 5800, aimed for the musicians, for a phone which will cost 269 euros (!!!), it's lighter then the iPhone, but it's thicker. For now, i mean for this minute, this is my choice, since i'd use the phone to listen to music. Nokia has annoucened the touchscreen N series for 2009, so um um ... will these be the iPhone killers?

We have the Samsung Omnia, which lots of people love, and over iPhone lots of the pick this one. It looks great, slick phone, with cool features, but some say that next year Samsung will bring out a phone, which is fit for the internet with Google Apps installed on it (maybe it will have Android on it ??), so headsup for Samsung.

Sony won't backoff the phone market. So as we know Sony is teamed up with Ericsson, everyone knows, what Sony makes, it's awsome, i won't comment on Ericsson. So of course that SonyEricsson will have a touchscreen phone on the market. It's called SonyEricsson XPERIA X1. I didn't read up much on it, but it does look great.

Amongst these i've read that there is coming a Toshiba phone, HP (!!!) phone.

Now that we got to HP, they are doing something new on the laptop market also. In 2010 they will make some touchscreen laptops, erm ... yes, touchscreen laptops. Article about the HP touchscreen here. Hp won't be the only one, the EEE PC hit manufacterer, Asus, will be doing the same, with some EEE PC 7" 8" 9" and 10" versions of the touchscreen laptops. These Asus laptopts will have Windows 7 on them, which was built so it supports touchscreen support. Windows 7 will be available for sale one year from now, right before christmas. What does this Windows 7 know ? Well that's another article, i'm planning to test the Alfa version soon, so maybe i can do a review about it, one word about it, Windows 7 is how Windows Vista should have been.
Windows 7

So in a final conclusion it seems that in 2 years time, new mobiles, laptops and expect new gadgets will be touchscreen like, so you can say bye-bye to the keyboards and mouses, altho i'm sure that gamers will say that a game without a mouse is not a game, it's a typing contest.

The war of the biggest.

Google
Apple
10 years ago Google formed, popped out of the 2 mens head. Apple established on 1st April 1976 - well for sure it was no joke for April's fools day.

What do we see today? 2 companies fighting, if not directly, then indirectly. Google and Apple both are on the tech market for years. Google started with it's search engine, Apple with it's computers. Today both are doing the best that can be done, Google = best search engine. Apple = Best computers. This is a short article about this, so don't worry on reading too much.

What my point is, that recently the 2 companies met on a market, the phone market. Apple previously launched the stunning, beautiful and amazing iPhone, if someone touched this, or tried it, or even saw, usually wants one. Here's the pic for those who don't know the iPhone:

Google then came last month with it's own phone, altogether with it's own operating system (yes, Google has an operating system), called Android. The phone is great, some say it's the iPhone killer, but not quite now i'd say. Altho, i'd love to have a Google phone( HTC), it has a keyboard, not like the iPhone, and it also has the touchscreen. In dimensions both are kinda the same, the iPhone is a little bit slimmer, that's all. Google phone:
HTC

I'll be curious who will win this, and recently i found out something. There is one more ceontender on this market with a same kind of a phone, at a smaller price.
This is the brand new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Basically it's the same as the HTC (Google phone), or as the iPhone. The phone was shown a few days ago officially, and it will be launched in the USA, Asia and Russia this year, in Europe next year. Next year, because it seams that 2 major phone companies, T-Mobile and Orange, asked for this, the reason maybe is that for Christmas people can buy the iPhone (because in Europe you still can't get the HTC). The Nokia ExpressMusic:

If these 3 phones would be put in front of you, which one would you pick ? (:
(I'd go for the XpressMusic)
