Thousands of high school students will gather on San Jose on monday .They will celebrate year’s famous Intel

International Science and Engineering Excibition (ISEE). A project of the Society for Science & the Public, Intel ISEE

organizes this prigram to bring together more than 1,500 high school students from over 50 countries.Here they will

not only represent and discuss their research but also compete for millions of dollars in prizes. We’re particularly

excited about this excibition because this year Google is the Premier Sponsor and Silicon Valley Host of the event.

We’re getting ready to organize an action-packed week of events and activities that celebrate the accomplishments of

the Intel ISEE finalists and the role that technology plays in the future of science. Our schedule includes:

* Ongoing speaker series at our booth
* Interactive booth with product demos (the Street View car will be there!)
* Welcome Party on Tuesday evening for Intel ISEE participants
* Google distribute $10,000 prizes awards for the three winners
* To get the enjoy and know about the different future ’s research

If you’re attending the fair, check out our Science Fair Portal to keep up-to-date with any changes to our events

Royal Battle – Iphone Vs Google Nexus

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 09:51:19 +0000

The Apple iPhone vs Google Nexus One

The iPhone squares up to the Nexus One – there’s going to be carnage

When Google released the Nexus One the inevitable question was quickly asked: ‘Is this phone designed to compete with the iPhone?’

Google naturally sidestepped the issue, but the point still stands – this phone is the best equipped to lay the Android smackdown on the iPhone’s dominance.

But what if you’re standing in a shop, unable to choose between the two? (OK, we know you can’t buy the Nexus One in a shop… but you get what we mean.) Or what if you’re sick of that iPhone and want to know if making the Google leap is a good idea?

Luckily for you TechRadar is on hand to give you all the facts before you make such a life changing decision: here’s the iPhone vs the Nexus One.

Display

Both have a big touchscreen, right? Yeah, but that’s where the similarities end. While both are employing capacitive displays (more accurate than resistive, but can’t be used through gloves) the sizes are very different. Where the iPhone has a 3.5-inch screen with 480 x 360 pixels, the Nexus One packs a 3.7-inch, 800 x 480 display.

Might not sound like much? Trust us, it is. That extra 0.2 of an inch is noticeable in elements like web browsing, and the increase in resolution is massive when watching videos and similar, making it a superior device for watching videos.

The Google Nexus One also uses an OLED screen, which means the colours are more saturated, blacks are blacker and whites are more crisp.

Both are pretty spiffy when it comes to touch sensitivity, reacting to the merest brush, although the gloss of the iPhone’s screen does make your finger glide that little bit better.

Winner: Google’s Nexus One

Home screen

It’s not all about hardware of course – the thing you see every day is the home screen, so you want it to be as good as possible.

To that end, this is a tough one to call – the iPhone and Nexus One offer very different options.

The iPhone has the classic interface we all know – lists of icons in a row offering quick access to all the things you like to play with regularly, and a swipe to the left taking you to the quick search screen. It’s crisp, simple and easy to use, with minimal fuss.

But Google’s Android OS, coupled with the Nexus One, offers something very different. We’re talking living wallpapers that react to music and touch, five separate home screens to customise and widgets.

Widgets – they’re just brilliant at times. Mini-Facebook that offers simple access to status updates, a music player you can place where you like, YouTube and Google search – the list goes on, and that’s before we talk about the supreme customisation on offer for placing your icons where you want them.

We’re more keen on the Android OS, but we can see why so many people are drawn to the simplicity of the iPhone.

Winner: Draw

Speed of use

For the tech-heads and stat fans out there (you know who you are), the hardware under the hood of both phones is very different – The iPhone 3GS packs an ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz effort, while the Nexus One has a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1GHz processor.

But it’s not all about the headline stats – it’s how they work that makes the difference, and in relative terms the iPhone is very impressive. In day-to-day use, the iPhone shows very little in the way of slowdown until it starts getting to the deeper and more intensive applications.

The Nexus One, by comparison, has an ever so slight lag on the home screen, although it’s barely noticeable. But it’s not got the completely slick edge the iPhone has, and that’s important.

However, get involved with things like lists of browsing through a number of pictures, and the Nexus One comes into its own, whipping through it all like nothing before, and anyone that’s sat there waiting for a picture to load will know that’s worth its weight in gold.

Winner: Google Nexus One

What is Google Android?

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 08:43:44 +0000

Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google, and lately by the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.

The unveiling of the Android distribution on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 47 hardware, software, and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.Google released most of the Android code under the Apache License, a free software and open source license.

In July 2005, Google acquired Android, Inc., a small startup company based in Palo Alto, California, USA. Android’s co-founders who went to work at Google included Andy Rubin (co-founder of Danger), Rich Miner (co-founder of Wildfire Communications, Inc.), Nick Sears (once VP at T-Mobile), and Chris White (headed design and interface development at WebTV[12]). At the time, little was known about the functions of Android, Inc. other than that they made software for mobile phones.[8] This began rumors that Google was planning to enter the mobile phone market, although it was unclear what function it might perform in that market.

At Google, the team led by Rubin developed a mobile device platform powered by the Linux kernel which they marketed to handset makers and carriers on the premise of providing a flexible, upgradeable system.[citation needed] It was reported that Google had already lined up a series of hardware component and software partners and signaled to carriers that it was open to various degrees of cooperation on their part. More speculation that Google would be entering the mobile-phone market came in December 2006. Reports from the BBC and The Wall Street Journal noted that Google wanted its search and applications on mobile phones and it was working hard to deliver that. Print and online media outlets soon reported rumors that Google was developing a Google-branded handset. More speculation followed reporting that as Google was defining technical specifications, it was showing prototypes to cell phone manufacturers and network operators.

In September 2007, InformationWeek covered an Evalueserve study reporting that Google had filed several patent applications in the area of mobile telephony.

Open Handset Alliance

Main article: Open Handset Alliance

“Today’s announcement is more ambitious than any single ‘Google Phone’ that the press has been speculating about over the past few weeks. Our vision is that the powerful platform we’re unveiling will power thousands of different phone models.”

—-Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman/CEO

On 5 November 2007, the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of several companies which include Texas Instruments, Broadcom Corporation, Google, HTC, Intel, LG, Marvell Technology Group, Motorola, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile was unveiled with the goal to develop open standards for mobile devices. Along with the formation of the Open Handset Alliance, the OHA also unveiled their first product, Android, a mobile device platform built on the Linux kernel version 2.6.

On 9 December 2008, it was announced that 14 new members would be joining the Android project including: ARM Holdings Plc, Atheros Communications, Asustek Computer Inc, Garmin Ltd, Softbank, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba Corp, and Vodafone Group Plc.

Google Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt took some time in the official press release to dispel all previous rumors and speculation about the existence of a stand-alone Google phone.
