Television Meets Internet with Sony Google TV

Sony announced Sony Google TV in New york earlier today, it is a Sony Internet TV powered by Google TV.

The big difference between current connected HDTVs and Sony Google TV  is simultaneous Web surfing and TV watching, what Sony calls "Dual View." For instance, if you're watching Law & Order: SVU, you can search for details on the real live crime the story is based on while continuing to watch the episode. If you're watching a baseball game, you can check on fantasy league stats. The whole idea is to mimic and reduce watching TV with a laptop on your lap to a single screen.

There are four models - 24-inch ($599), 32-inch ($799), 40-inch ($999) and 46-inch ($1,399). All are edge-lit LED LCD sets except the smallest, which is old-fashioned CFFL.

Rumour: iPhone 5 and iPad 2 with Baseband Chips from Qualcomm

iPhone 4

Many people have not had a chance to own iPhone 4, now there is rumor that iphone 5 will come with Qualcomm baseband chip and the same chip is also for iPad 2.

While initially we were circumspect about the news it just seems that other independent sources from across the globe are reporting a similar merger. The Economic Daily News from Taipei in its latest report talks of the possible use of Qualcomm Baseband chips in the use of iPad 2; further increasing the suspicion that it might be the end for Infineon.

So will the successor of iPhone 4 has a dual SIM capability that will allow users to use both GSM and CDMA technology? Considering Qualcomm were the ones to pioneer the CDMA aspect in the mobile market it is something that is completely possible, but not very probable.

For now the opinion is that CDMA technology might still stay away from iPhone 5, but if indeed Apple and Qualcomm do tie up then it might be a possibility somewhere down the line. While we will have to wait for an official announcement from both parties to confirm the change in chips, opening up the iPad 2 when it does arrive will surely unravel many mysteries and help predict the details of iPhone 5.
