Chrome OS Team Aims for Speed Chrome OS Will Focus on Security Motorola's Droid Appears Strong Nokia Launches Critical N900 Phone Webmail Features Come To Desktop Second Firefox 3.6 Beta Fixes Bugs Google is showcasing how its Chrome OS will change the user experience when it initially appears on netbook-style devices that will feature bigger keyboards than today's netbooks. Google has sketched out more details about its Chrome operating system, due before the end of next year. The initial target is to get Chrome OS running on devices that need Internet connectivity. The early returns are good for Motorola's Android-based Droid smartphone. An early assessment by Flurry estimates that 250,000 Droids were sold during its first week of availability. Though no larger than an iPhone or other Internet-friendly handset, the N900 may well be the closest that Nokia or anyone has come to packing a real computer into a pocket-size package. Web-based e-mail services have gotten better, sporting many features once available only with desktop e-mail programs. Now, those desktop programs are borrowing from their Web-based counterparts. Mozilla's developer community has released the second beta of Firefox 3.6 to fix 190 bugs in the original release. Moreover, all current Firefox 3.6 beta users have been issued an update.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   Chrome OS Team Aims for Speed   Chrome OS Will Focus on Security Motorola's Droid Appears Strong Early estimates put sales at 250,000.   FULL STORY Nokia Launches Critical N900 Phone Are iPhone comparisons premature?   FULL STORY Webmail Features Come To Desktop E-mail programs have come full circle.   FULL STORY Second Firefox 3.6 Beta Fixes Bugs Mozilla moves to fight Chrome growth.   FULL STORY EU Objects To Oracle's Sun Takeover Review: Droid's a Serious Smartphone Firefox Revived the Browser Market Android Phone Focuses on Multimedia Firefox 3.6 Checks for Old Plug-Ins Software Kit for Android 2.0 Released DROID Is Do-or-Die for Motorola White House Site Goes Open Source Linux Raps Harder at Company Doors Raindrop Aims To Manage Messages Foes Fear Oracle Will Stifle MySQL Is Android's Spread a Problem?
