Oh yea, I am not joking ! Here is a iPhone running windows xp on it. Now, here is the secret, as explained in the end of the video, he is running XP on a mac as a virtual machine and sharing the screen on a second display using a program, and the second display is his iPhone !

So, here you go …

Gmail will be the most used website, or webapp  and we always wait patiently wait for it to load, we understand the pain it takes to load all our emails chats and attachments right ?

You said Yes ?

Really ?

I thought so, gmail is loading slower these days with all the new features and extensions added to it and if you have offline gmail enabled, it will take much longer for gmail to load. Well, Google also knows this patience test that we go through every time we open gmail and they are working on a 1 second to inbox startup solution.

Google is planning to do this with the latest HTML5 technology which is gaining popularity these days. ( Apple, iPhone, Flash is evil – got the puzzle ? )

Thanks to HTML5, we will soon have advanced features on more webapps, and gmail will be on of the best platforms for HTML5 to show its strength.

Good move, Google !

Okay, we have spent enough time on iPhone killers, now let’s kill the iPad.

We saw a lot of iPhone killers after it was announced, or became a success. Either, companies tried to make some iPhone killers, or people called every smartphone after  iPhone an “iPhone Killer”. Now, it’s time for iPad killers.

It’s not out in the market yet you say ?  well, we already have two of them  JooJoo and X2′s iTablet. We will soon see many more iPad killers coming in to market. Sadly, every tablet pc made will be called an “iPad Killer” from now onwards, either it looks like it, or not.

There will be loads of iPad imitations too, and they also will be called iPad killers, and will save the bad name, “imitation”. All reviews and previews will lead to one single question ” Will this be an iPad Killer” ?

So, again …

Day Dreaming is my favorite hobby !!! Nice .. isn’t it ? and lately, my day dreams too turned geek. Android .. google and Netbooks. I started dreaming about these three, after reading so much about them.

But why should I read a lot about them ? What makes it interesting ?

1. Linux has become user friendly and powerful and it is ready for the use of common man. 2. Linux will be the best choice for Netbooks. 3. What Linux needs now is support from a Company which has mass acceptance, and Google is the best partner it can ever get.

So, when google and Linux join together, we need to expect something .. big …  reason ?.

Imagine you introduce Linux to a Windows user, and tell them this is Ubuntu, a Linux OS .. try this out … they may not do it .. and they will start complaining about it even if they start using it .. but  the desktop environment is pretty much the same. Now, introduce Google Docs to a MS Office user, and tell him/her that this is a Google Product.. they will like it.. sure, they will at least try it out for some time.

After falling in love with iPod shuffle, my new girl friend, I decided to ask iPhone, if she is ready to marry me.

Yes’ I know, that sounds weird. But, my parents told me that it is ok with them as long as the girl is from the Apple family. Actually they will be happy to have iPhone as her daughter in law, because apple has offered 8GB as dowry compared to 2GB from iPod shuffle.
