2. Google unveils Nexus One phone. Europe fail, though.

It features twice the graphics speed, HDMI connector (finally!), a thin unibody aluminum case, and a built in power supply (which means no more big power transformer in along the power cable).

I love it and i definitely want one connected to my TV in my living room

Check it out at Apple’s website.

The first one is about something i noticed i was doing, while searching for a code fragment. One could call it ironic, trying to find “find”

The other is proof of my amazement by the fact that there was one person who visited my blog using an iPad

UPDATE: Turns out i was looking at a 2 day period only. This month there have been actually 4 iPad visits, hehe

2. Reddit developers, please fix this

1. No camera – Really? In this day and age of videoconferencing?!? What are you guys thinking?
2. No GPS – It does have assisted (wifi/3G) GPS but it’s not quite the same, is it? Especially when you don’t have wifi or 3G available;
3. No magical, shiny, new multi-touch UI paradigm – Maybe i was affected too much by the hype that has been created around it but i like to be surprised. And i have to say i wasn’t. Apart from the changes to the iWork suite to make it usable on a touch screen there is nothing really awesome about it;
4. No multitasking – No comments there. I wonder if it has copy & paste?
5. No phone calls (and SMS’s) – Has 3G but you cannot make phone calls or send messages? Doesn’t make sense to me;
6. 64 GBs is really not enough for what you are going to want to carry around in it.

Now things that i *do* like in the iPad, so that this is not a bashing post:

1. It looks like the mockups that drifted on the internet before. And those looked cool;
2. The iBook application and store. As long as they support free/open PDF files;
3. Seems to be powerful enough to play basic 3D games (quake II – like);
4. Battery life is really nice. 10 hours for normal usage and up to 1 month in stand-by mode;
5. The price was a nice surprise. I always said that they would compete with netbooks’ prices and apparently i was not mistaken;
6. I love the keyboard dock and also the hard cover that changes into stand. Really clever!

That being said, i believe this is nothing more than a big iPod touch (not even an iPhone, since you cannot make phone calls) and will not deserve my $499 this time.

1. It will have an “ebook reader” mode that saves a lot of battery time;
2. Battery life for gaming/wifi is around 2/3 hours;
3. He hints that people will be able to play first person shooters on this thing, the specs must be awesome;
4. Will have 2 cameras. One that shoots what is in front of you, another shoots you;
5. Solar power pad in the back for recharging;
6. OLED screen;
7. At&T AND Verizon contracts available, probably;
8. Thumbpads on each side for gestures. Reads fingerprints for security;
9. Builtin HDTV tuner;
10. The price will be 599, 699 and 799 depending on size and memory;

If his tweets are accurate, then we have an awesome device coming up indeed
