Google has released a Windows Mobile version of the Google Mobile App, an application which allows users to search the Web with Google, access Gmail, Google Calendar and other Google services.

The Google Mobile App adds a line to the Today screen from which searches can be performed.  You can also access Gmail, Google Maps, News, Picasa Web Albums, and Google Calendar.  Search results and Google online apps are launched in your handheld’s default web browser (IE Mobile, Opera, etc.).

If you’re using a Windows Mobile device with a third-party Today Screen replacement, such as HTC’s TouchFlo, the Google Mobile App must be launched from the Programs menu in order to run. 

You can download the Google Mobile App by pointing your mobile browser to:

Although we’re not quite there yet, 60Mbps wireless high speed Internet isn’t too far from reality.

Based on Verizon’s and Vodafone ‘s trials in Minneapolis, Columbus, Ohio, northern New Jersey,

High dynamic range enables impressive graphics while gaming. It can also create incredible photographs from your still images. Traditionally, photographers would take multiple images at varying exposures and then use a program to merge them together using HDR. While photographers have used this set of techniques for years to produce eye-catching images, the feature hasn’t been available in-camera until now. Ricoh announced the CX1, a new digital camera with a dynamic range double shot mode. This mode takes two

OCZ Technology’s products gets covered a lot at HotHardware.com and on other enthusiast sites, as OCZ regularly churns out high-end system components, such as high-speed system memory, flash memory-based devices, power supply units, and CPU cooling solutions on a regular basis.

The advocacy group, EPIC, says the privacy issues Facebook brought up earlier this week with it's short-lived Terms of Service Agreement update may not just go away. While they are happy that Facebook made a step in the right direction by voluntarily reverting to their previous Terms of Service Agreement, they said that until official privacy laws are in place, this will still be a major issue in the social-networking arena.

For privacy advocate group EPIC, a victory isn't yet so clear. “It's great that Facebook has responded, and I think thats a step in the right direction–but these issues dont go away, and it's going to be an ongoing concern for users of new network-based services until we get comprehensive privacy laws in place,” Rotenberg says. In the immediate future, EPIC plans to keep a close eye on Facebook's progress and the rights of its users. Rotenberg promises he and his colleagues will step in if the need arises–and won't hesitate to appeal to the FTC if it becomes necessary, either.

Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate Edition Review @ OCC and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“The heatsink used on the Ultimate Edition HD 4670 is a passive design. This means that its sole means of discharging the thermal load, is to rely on the temperature differential between the air in the chassis and the heatsink itself. Of course better case airflow will allow the heatsink to be more effective. Sapphire has come up with creative solutions for cooling ATI based video cards over the past year with the Toxic and Atomic series of video cards. Vapor Chamber cooling and water cooling are two of the avenues they have explored successfully. But now on the Ultimate Edition, the silent heatsink uses two heatpipes attached to a copper plate to and aluminum block and fin array. As large as the heatsink is, it should prove to be effective at cooling this series of cards.”
