Chrome is like the new guy, the eager yuppie, and it is rising at a steady pace, no dips, no slips. Its interesting that right after the realease of Chrome for the Mac, Chrome all of a sudden had a little spike and wiggled its tongue at Apple's Safari, beating Safari's market share by 0.17% w00t! The final stats for December 2009 were 4.63% for Google Chrome, versus 4.46% for Apple’s Safari. Sounds like Mac users want to learn some of the hipness, the culture of the shiny Chrome browser.

Ever since the Apple tablet was thought up, every single hardware company has had tablet fever. I'll put a list of the ones we have covered below. Anyhoo, Smarthouse, an Australian publication, reports that HTC and Google have gotten together and have been collaborating "for the past 18 months" and have made "several working models of a touch tablet," including a prototype featuring Google's Chrome OS.
The interesting part is it seems HTC and Google have become quite the little team. Almost every upcoming HTC phone is going to run Android and just recently, they teamed up for the release of the Nexus One. Its looking like there could be some very interesting stuff coming from HTC and Google in the next coming months. Maybe by then it will be HTCgle...

Google does not just have a new Logo today (Jan 1st 2010), they have a secret goodie for everyone. They have done this before, but this is by far the most epic one yet! If you go to Google and click the "I'm feeling lucky" button without typing anything into the searchbox, you will get an explosive supprize! Happy new year!
Heads Up: There is a NSFW moment at the 1:45 mark. We're sorry we don't know why this guy played this in the demo (sort of ruins it). Anyways, we all new the Nexus one was an amazing phone and the UI was pretty slick, but when you see it in action in clear video, that's magic. This is a 10 min hands on with the Nexus one, and it is drop dead epic!
Hey guess what, Gizmodo got their hands on some screenshots of the "store" site for the Nexus One and we have all the details.
Pricing and Package details - According to the pages, the phone will be available in two ways: as a $529.99 unsubsidized and unlocked device, and as a $179.99 T-Mobile device locked to a two year contract (This sounds a lot like the iPhone packadge). It appears there is only one package type listed -- 500 minutes of talk time, unlimited text, data, and mobile to mobile for $79.99 (sounds epic) also Google says if you have an existing plan, you will have to switch to the Nexus plan.

The Nexus One is Google's flagship device. It is also a very solid device, with a solid carrier (T-Mobile) and a "solid" plan. T-Mobile is going to provide coverage for the Phone, while Google will sell the phone directly to costumers. Here is the rundown:
Google, with support from T-Mobile, is scheduled to launch a new Android device in early January. The Google Android phone will be sold directly by Google via the Web.
Support for the device including troubleshooting and exchanges will be managed by Google and HTC. T-Mobile will offer service support including billing, coverage, features, and rate plans. Additional details Streamline content regarding the launch of Google's Android phone will be coming in early January.
So clearly Google and HTC will be helping out with the Hardware side of things, while T-Mobile will be dealing with the end-user stuff. It sounds like a solid idea, but it does not yet have a solid release date, yet. Apparently there is going to be some sort of January 5th launch, but well see that when it gets here.
