We have great news for those of you who are waiting for a device featuring Google’s latest operating system, the Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Google has just released the Honeycomb SDK that will allow users to download an emulator to their computers to take a peek at how the new OS works and how it differs from the previous operating systems. A collection of screenshots and a video, which comes to us courtesy of Engadget, will help you to get an up close and personal look at the new OS that is made specifically for tablets and devices with a large screen size.

Google has found many innovative ways to keep not just the tech-savvy happy, but has also won over fans with a touch of artistic brilliance. The ‘Google Doodle’ is one of those wonderful things that is done each time to pay a fitting tribute to a legend of the past or celebrate a monumental occasion and some festivities. But the Google Art Project should make those close to art, and even other curious onlookers really happy. The Google Art project has worked in tandem with 17 of the top museums across the globe and has put up virtual tours of these fascinating places on its

Despite designing their new operating system specifically for netbooks and laptops and allowing the devices to take advantage of their extensive cloud computing services, Google are rumoured to be preparing an alternative version of the OS for tablets… With Samsung and Acer working on keyboard-equipped devices, the flexibility of the new operating system – coupled with the online capabilities of Chrome OS and its predilection towards widgets and web base apps – seems likely to spawn a tablet variant, something that is more likely to occur sooner rather than

A hot new Google Translate app has been released, with a pretty nifty new feature. While the app still does all of the expected text translation between multiple languages, Android 2.1 and later users have the advantage of much more powerful translation evocative of a sci-fi movie. Remarkably, we’re almost at the stage of real-time, synchronous translation: with the function known as Conversation Mode, Google Translate users can utter phrases into their Android phones and tablets for the device to then immediately translate and repeat the phrase in the target language! The

This could come as exciting news for those who have been eying the Samsung Galaxy Tab, but fell short of the required dollars. Carrier Sprint, which had a couple of months ago launched the Samsung tablet with much fanfare, is now gearing up for a snip in pricing of the device. The info comes courtesy of a leak, but we have reasons to believe that Samsung’s Android device could see a fairly good drop in price. The leak makes us wonder why Sprint is going in for a price reduction, even as the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the only device it has outed since last November. From what we

All of you out there who have been playing with your Android 1.6 or higher versions will be familiar with the Google Places app. The app with Hotpot has been letting you search and find retail and service locations in close proximity and we know you had made the app immensely popular by constantly putting it to use. Now, Google has brought the app to iOS devices too. An announcement by Google says that the popular Places app is now available for iOS and is already been made available at the App Store.

We know you were left stunned by the T-Mobile LG G-Slate when the device was first unveiled at the CES in Las Vegas a few days ago. The device was announced as gearing up for a release in the coming months, and we have been anticipating the device as much as you do. We  have something to rejoice now, as T-Mobile has clicked open a new page that offers everything you wanted to know about the device. The T-Mobile page lets you enter your email address and be updated with upcoming information about the G-Slate. When T-Mobile says all info, we guess the carrier will be letting the

One year ago we were hearing that Google Docs allowed users to store any sort of files they want (not just documents and media), today we’re happy to announce that the web application is now able to stream the videos you have uploaded in the cloud. The new feature on Google Docs will only be available for videos that are up to 1GB large. All you need to do is upload the file from your computer (although we’re hearing it has to be streamable and processed through a YouTube-like player) and then you’ll be able to share it with your friends or play it whenever you need. For

Google has demonstrated its latest Android operating system, the Android Honeycomb. The new operating system appears to be impressive, but the devices that will be running the new OS are expected to arrive only by March this year. As you might remember, there have been a lot of rumors flying around related to whether the new operating system will be called Android 2.4 or 3.0. Well, everyone knew that it will be one among the two, and it has now been confirmed that the new OS is Android 3.0. If you are eager to play with the new OS, you will be able to do that as soon as the new
