Two turkeys does not make an eagle! What a great phrase and so perfect to illustrate the situation!

With this deal, Nokia confirms that its own platforms, Symbian and Meego, will be tossed onto the bin.
However, is it Windows Mobile a good choice? Do they really think they can compete agains iPhone and Android? Mmmm, I have my doubts.
My hopes were in a Nokia-Android phone. That could be a super phone!

I’ve been a Nokia user for many years until I switched to Android with our first Google Nexus. Nokia has always offered great quality but now they’re just missing the right platform. Android was the platform!!

Again…. this is just my humble opinion but Microsoft?? Really??

And although I’ve always declared myself Apple’s Fan, you got to admit it… Android Honeycomb is much better (in my opinion)

First, is an open system, it’s fast, efficient, even easier to use and offers total integration with Google Products.
Taking into account that you are probably using a Gmail account, maybe Calendar or Google Docs, Google Maps, Google Books etc. etc. I believe a system that allows you an easy integration for those is great!
What do you want your tablet for? Navigate! Browsing made simple right?

And let’s be honest… how many times do you visit Google.com (or your local domain)? What about YouTube?
iPad was the first and thank you Steve for that great mind of yours, but Android tablets… that’s the future.
As competition is one of the best things that could happen to the final customer, I’m looking forward to see the new version of the iPad. Can you imagine how the future tablets will be? This is just the beginning!

I’ve been trying RockMelt for a few days and I have to day, it’s a cool idea. It’s only useful if you want to be connected and like to share sites in your Facebook or Twitter account. If you aren’t a “social animal” Rock Melt won’t give you any added value at all.
RockMelt is Chrome plus a social media overlay. But they still have to improve it quite a lot…

It has a some failures:
- When you open it, there’s a pop up appearing to log into Facebook. 90% of the cases the pop up doesn’t really work and it’s just a blank window.
- If you close that pop up without logging into Facebook, there’s nothing more than a simple browser. An exact copy of Chrome. When suddenly you decide to login, all your open tabs close and you’re in new window. Basically you lose what you were doing.
- No notifications for Facebook messages! This is pretty bad. If I receive a message through Facebook I don’t get any notification. You are only notified when someone comments on your status, or likes what you say. Nothing about receiving messages.

Apart from those 3 points, being the last two really annoying, the browser it’s ok.
What surprises me is the search bar. If you search there you see the results in a small window on the side and… there are no ads!!! Just the results. Check the screenshot!

And here it’s the fourth failure: when you click it doesn’t take you to a search page, you literally go to the website. Mmmm… don’t really like it if you’re researching but it’s ok if you want the result to show you a website for which you don’t really know the URL but remember part of it.
