Taiwan’tablet1s Institute of information industry has made a revolutionary by making HP Mini WinXP Netbook to Android Mini Tablet PC.The slick remix of an HP Mini 1000 runs XP when in netbook configuration, but then switches over to Android on an unspecified ARM processor when the screen is pulled off and used as a tablet.
It is much like a touch book It has the Atom in the netbook base and has been swapped for a VIA C7-M, so it’s not exactly a rocket, and second, the screen is connected by VNC, so video performance isn’t going to be all that great. We’re hoping the additional year of development III says it needs will solve some of those problems.

Android app, "Places Directory" listing places

We mostly get into a situation were, the nearest ATM, Bank, Bar, Gas station and much more are not known in a new place. Few members from Google Mobile decided to address this using 20% of their time. This resulted in “Places Directory” a new Android App.

This application uses the GPS data (for your current location) and Google Maps, to find the places near by. The places fall under 11 categories. They are,

  • Attractions
  • Banks
  • Bars
  • Coffee
  • Gas Stations
  • Hotels
  • Medical
  • Movie Theaters
  • Parking Restaurants
  • Shopping
  • Taxis

Android app, "Places directory"

The resultant places are shown with distance, direction, ratings, pictures, reviews and contact information. The direction arrows point to the direction of the place, which is one cool feature.
