Google and Windows, for once have decided to work their ways in to a collaborative approach to technology. Windows mobile is freshly equipped with Google Street View and soon after there is more to cherish! Google Mobile App, a convenient one-stop shop for all popular Google services, has hit Windows mobile platform. This app is already quite popular with the versions for Apple iPhone and Blackberry.

After just a few days when Microsoft was stranded to sillyness in the mid of mobile world congress, they have done it again! And this time its pitifully worse.

Have we seen enough from the technology? Not at all.

This is really an important milestone not only because its first but also it rests the potential to usher in the era of broadband boon throughout India and not just a handful of people.

Microsoft and Dell have joined hand in hand for a project called PRODUCT RED in order to help Africa fight AIDS. Such a noble venture needs your contribution as well.

Technology is real fun sometimes. You can't but laugh at unexpected turn of events. I mean, who could ever think that Microsoft is going to make an application web service for FREE (yes, I am not dazed) quite similar to another that Apple sells for $0.99! Microsoft is developing an Application for Mobiles called My phone which synchronizes with your address books, calendars and to-do lists at absolutely no cost. You may ask, what is the high point? You can easily do that with your desktop and any free mobile synchronization app. Here is the catch. It will also give you 200 MB space to back up your data, a system restore privilege and many more but for Windows Mobile currently.
