The Times of India is reporting that by 2010, the Internet will be hopelessly “deadlocked” with both users and web sites and could potentially suffer a “meltdown.” Their report is based on a recently released study that claims that the sheer volume of data transmitted will exceed the ability of the network to keep up with demand within three to five years.

Google Announced Open Handset Alliance
For months Google has been mum about the release of their Google phone. Tech blogs and news are all full of “information” of what Google Phone would be. Some were expecting an iPhone-like mobile phone that offers a wide variety of services and access to Google’s popular online services.

Great iPhone Applications
As we all know, our beloved Apple doesn’t allow any software installations to be done on their iPhones. If you have succeeded cracking their firmware and was able to run native programs, you’re in for a cat and mouse run competition with Apple as they will continue to disable iPhones that don’t go with their specifications. It’s true that there are rumors that they finally might allow it, but for now all you can have are web based applications that usually run on AJAX. Lately, Apple has released a list of the programs that you can run easily and securely on their Safari Browser. Here are some applications that stood out from their list.

Americans often have the idea that they are on the forefront of technology in the world, and that other nations are somehow “behind the curve” on the latest technological developments. While this may be true in some areas, in the wireless world, it is in fact completely backwards.
Dude, Where’s My Google Phone?
Ever since the release of Apple’s iPhone earlier this year, the Internet has been abuzz with talk of a new Google cell phone. It seems that now those rumors are quickly becoming a reality. The Wall Street Journal reports that Google Inc. has been in talks with various phone manufacturers and service providers to produce what at least one industry expert has labeled “The GPhone.”
