Now it is not a secret anymore that Firefox rules the Browser pie.
And Axiis have produced an awesome flash interactive pie chart of the browser share of Firefox, Chrome, IE 6/7 and all the other browsers from Jan 2002 onwards. You just need to move over your mouse to see the respective browser share from Jan 2002 to Aug 2009. Go to the link below and have a go.
Seriously though. It is a big disappointment that ages after launch, my poor little Android phone – Samsung Galaxy Portal is still stuck with Android 1.5- Cupcake. I mean, it’s ok, but it is just that. It certainly isn’t the fancy Eclair flaunting Droids and Nexus. Hell, it is not even 1.6. Add to that, Google has already launched Android 2.2 – Fro-yo. And we still have no signs of T-Mobile UK showing any indications of when my phone is getting an OS upgrade.
According to this article from ElectricPig, T-Mobile initially had plans of upgrading the OS for its lineup of Android phones by May. And it is already June, and we have no signs of it at all. The initial plans read:-
The HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 was supposed to get the Android roll out by end of April to beginning of May, which is yet to happen. The T-mobile pulse mini gets the Android 2.1 flavour on April 23 expectedly, and Samsung Galaxy Portal in late May.
Now since, Hero is still yet to see the Eclair roll-out, are we expecting Galaxy Portal’s rollout to be postponed till eternity as well? Also, 3′s launched Galaxy Portal as well in the UK, and from what I’ve heard, all of them run Android 2.1 out of the box.
And seriously, why not let us jump to Froyo straightaway. By the time we are trying to catch up with 2.1, feels like we are obsolete all over again. Thanks T-Mobile, much love.
[ P.S. I tweeted T-Mobile UK asking about the Eclair rollout, no replies yet, and I am sure they will not be replying either].
C4LPT did a compilation of the Top 100 tools for learning for the year 2009 on the basis of Top 10 Tool contributions from 278 learning professionals worldwide.
The list of the Professionals can be found here [ Top 10 Tools lists ]
The following embedded presentation enlists all the awesome tools that made it to the Top 100 in descending order.
So according to the list, Twitter comes at the top, followed by popular sites such as Delicious, YouTube, Google Reader, Google Docs, WordPress, Google Search etc making it to the Top 10. Quite surprisingly, Open Source sound editor – Aduacity is ahead of resources such as Wikipedia, Blogger, Skype and Flickr.
What do you think about this list? Shout it out in the comments.
In an earlier post [ Compare the UK iPhone price war: O2 vs Orange vs Tesco] we compared the actual price of an iPhone in the UK on the three carriers. Today, Vodafone released its tariffs for the iPhone. The question remains that whether the fourth addition to the iPhone carrier range really adds value for the customer or is it just yet another player which doesn’t add any significant change.
The data download limit for Vodafone remains capped at 1GB per month. Compared to the Orange data plan which allows 750MB download per month, it is not much of an improvement. But what about everything else? Let’s find it out.
