Facebook Photos get an Easy Drag and Drop makeover !!

Facebook just announced its series of tweaks in Facebook photo handling and high- res uploading feature much demanded by its user.

This Facebook makeover includes the ability to drag and drop the facebook photos from folder to the screen. You can also drag photos around in an album so you can put all the decent photos at the front. This feature is really amazing and will be loved my million of user around the Web who wished of this makeover for a-long time. Users requested Facebook for this functionality and the Facebook has delivered the wish.

Another new feature installed is high-res uploading. This means you can add high-res images to Facebook and print out a photo-quality version of these images from your photo album. There is also a better photo browser, which means a faster and better photo sliding feature unlike the Old and slow Photo browser we have.

These changes will surely be loved by its user and even I can wait for this makeover to be activated in our country.

Apple Fined for its much Appreciated Cover Flow:

Apple's Cover Flow Design has unfortunately stepped on the three major patents of Mirror World for which the Apple is expected to be fined $209 for a patent. Apple is now fighting against the US Judge probably to get a decision of patent infringement.

This cover flow feature is in use on the company's iPods, iPhones and Macs right now. Mirror Worlds claimed that the Apple was in breach of the three of them. So, the total fine to overcome would be about $600 million. I can't see Apple getting out of this and if Apple can't turn this round, it will be one of the biggest patent payouts ever in the America.

Google takes on Facebook and Twitter and introduces its own Social Network called Buzz. Google has certainly shown its interest in these Social Networking popularity of Facebook and Twitter and hopes to gain profit from its own Social Networking service. It allows users to post status, share contents and view and comment on friends post etc. No new concepts in it but anyways Social Networking has been popular that way and this Buzz networking is certainly in its way.

Well, Google has certainly plans with this and it plans to capitalize on the number of regular G-mail users. As it has integrated this service directly with its e-mail service G-mail. So, the Buzz really has its future in my mind but lets see how the users feel.

Users already have found a lot of interesting features (especially for mobile users) in Buzz. I love it too. But there are still doubts about it killing Facebook and Twitter. But anyways do forget to try it out. You can see this service directly installed in G-mail.

iPad application- 'big and expensive'

iPad is now released in the market of UK, and is yet to show how it does among the fans.Apple lovers always admire the consoles it provide but what really impress them is the application it offers. So, for the proper success in the market iPad need to provide cheap applications.

That's what I thought !!

But it was announced that the iPad apps will cost more than our iPhone apps. Analysts said it would cost an average of £2.50(£1.20 for iPhone) per app.

Why is it so?
iPad is a purely designed new concept and perception of computing and it is rather incomparable with the iPhone. iPad applications are much bigger than the iPhones apps and are supposed to better too. And for what it provides is worth its price.

But still $4(£2.50) for each app is really a huge value. Lets see how market will tell its story.

Google now finally has released its first Android phone with HTC. Nexus One is an  Andriod Google-branded phone and the Nexus One is actually called a stellar smartphone, easily the match of its peers.

Nexus One , quite rightly the superphone, is not just a regular smartphone, its probably the best Andriod phone yet in this planet. However its not that popular as  the Apples iPhone but it sure has placed is mark in the market. Although Nexus One has this advanced hardware, making it more advanced in terms of Touchscreen and the Camera, its still can't reach the heights to iPhone because of its annoying qualities. ( source :Techradar.com )

Here are some special featuers of this phone:

Manufacturer : HTC

Display: Large OLED 3.7" (deep contrast and brilliant colors)

Features: Dynamic Noise Suppressions, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, Voice Enabled Keyboard

Price: $529 (uncloked) ; $179 (T-mobile plan)

The phone is available in the United States and can also be shipped to the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

Clearly Google has created this phone to rival Apple with its iPhone but it seems as if though the consumers are satisfied with their iPhone as the market clearly told why.
