Key Feature Of Google +1 - Massive-Scale Social Video Conferencing

FROM- techcrunch.com .

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been able to dig up a bunch of details about Google’s secret forthcoming social service. The service, previously codenamed “Emerald Sea” but currently being called “+1“, essentially seems to be a toolbar that exists along the top of Google’s various properties to allow for easy sharing. We even were able to snag a picture of it.

But there’s also quite a bit more to it, based on what we’ve been hearing. For one thing, we’ve been hearing a bit of talk about specific mobile applications, which may or may not be called “Loop” — after one of the key features of +1 (think: groups). But another feature of +1 is apparently large-scale video conferencing.

Video conferencing is hardly a new phenomenon, but Apple’s Facetime, Cisco’s umi, Skype and others have driven some renewed interested in the concept. Apple’s iChat software has long supported up to four people at once on a video call. But this Google entry, which may be known as something along the lines of “Hangout” or “gConferencing”, can apparently support well over a dozen people at a time — and maybe even more.

People with knowledge of the feature say it works very well. It could be tied into your Loops — you just pick the friends you want to video chat with and hit a button and you’re good. Apparently, a key to all of this is multiplexing --- multiple digital streams being sent over shared resources.

It may seem a little weird that such a feature would be a key part of +1, but again, from what we’re hearing, while the toolbar thing is the main entry point, it’s hardly the only part of the service.

(And no, the picture in this post is not of the feature.)

Google map's 5.0 now hits Android.

The Google has rolled out a major improvisation with his Google maps application by adding the offline support and 3D image for Androids.
Google maps 5.0 uses vector graphics to make the user 3D experienced instead of using the 2D graphics.Newer Android phones with faster chips can access multi-touch features to tilt, rotate, zoom and pivot around cities. You can also tap the compass button on the map to make the map rotate to match your perspective while keeping all the labels in place and easy to read. 
In addition. the user can freely look up for the locations and detailed street information without using the internet. This application may help out the drivers to reroute them if they lost the signal in between.The new dynamic 3D drawing actually makes this possible, because it requires a lot less data than the static images did. Map caching happens invisibly overnight while you're connected to Wi-Fi, so you don't even have to worry about configuring it.

As a bonus, Google has provide the  offline rerouting. If userin not connected with internet and only GPS working, Google Maps 5.0 can actually deliver turn-by-turn directions based on your cached maps.
Google Maps 5.0 is available only for  Android 1.6+ devices. However, the new 3D and offline features only work with Android 2.0 and above.

Mobile avatar has arrived.

          The replacement for Android mobile is here,containing the feature where existing android's were lacking : make payments.

          Co-developed by "Google and Samsung" the "Nexus S" is next generation mobile to run the latest version of android software 2.3, with a running feature called "Near Field Communication". The software has a On-screen key board and make it easy to place your phone calls to Internet, which initially people can only do with certain software's.

          If enough number of vendors can make it possible to make payments with this way, then possibility quotient is very high that people could start paying with their new machine in-spite of using the old and ordinary way of payment : pulling out their wallets. Someone just need to flash-off the phone near the bar code to make payment, the same manner as people swipe their security cards to enter in the premises.

It's time for iPhone fans to admit the reality that the iPhone, while an excellent device, is an introductory platform that most users will find limiting the second they try is "THE IMPROVISED ANDROID" undoubtedly.

DROOL OVER :-

         

           The latest platform of android can be considered as the fastest mobile the market as compare to the other smart phone launched/announced in this year because of its 1GZh cortex A8(hummingbird) processor and 16 GB iNAND internal memory.

           The 4 inch SUPER AMOLDED screen with (800 x 480) resolution and capacitive tough censor provides the deep, vibrant , amazing and real touch screen experience. The 5 mega pixel (2560x1920) back facing camera with (2560x1920) video resolution , Front-facing VGA camera (640x480) , outstanding sound experience with 3.5mm, 4-conductor headset jack and software sound cancellation , all these facilities may influence you to grab the one.

This phone is not available for direct selling to consumers.Initially this phone will be available in U.S (T-mobiles) and Carphone warehouse in U.K from 16 December onwards.

Conclusively :- This phone may not switch you if you are a i-Phone costumer but an Android user will definitely want this anyhow. It is batter than i-Phone in many ways and I will recommend you Nexus S for sure. You will fly with most distinct functions especially Google's exceptional navigations and voice input application. And of-course it's unlocking feature by which you can use this gadget world wide makes it different.
