Honeycomb Tablets

I got a chance to play with the Asus Transformer and Acer Iconia tablets yesterday. I have to say that these Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets are really nice. I was able to compare them to Android 2.2 tablets (Archos) and have to say that the newest generation of Android tables have hit the sweet spot. The new ones have 1280x800 displays and fast processors that can handle it all. I am impressed. Android tablets have come a long way since last Fall when I started looking at them.

Google Music Beta

Google has activated my Google Music account. Very nice and comparable to the Amazon Cloud Player. I now have two sources of cloud-based music services that work excellently on all my digital web devices.

Google Chromebooks are officially released!

One future vision of computing, web based ChromeOS Chromebook devices, is now available for everyone to try. I have been using my Google Chrome OS Cr-48 notebook since Dec 2010 and the instant on web-only OS has completely replaced my netbook. Cloud services and applications have matured considerably in this timeframe and will continue to evolve for the better.
