This surely proves that the ones who miss to watch the popular The Engadget Show or the ones who never heard of this show yet are always one step behind the ones who watch the show regularly, Erick Tseng, the latest guest star on the show has dropped a shared an exclusive fact and knowledge with everyone on the show. He said that the Android’s next biggest iteration or say in simple words, the next version of Android will be called “Froyo”.

And why this weird word “Froyo” you think? Well it just is a short for “frozen yogurt” and suits the trend of zany naming that has already been under delivering of Donuts, Cupcakes and Éclairs till now. And well if you thought Flan would be the next thing to join the list in the alphabetical order, then you sure will be disappointed, sorry for that! Sad to say that not much information, about how much updated and further will Froyo be compared to Android 2.1 or what update will be implemented, could be got from Google man at present. However lets be content with the fact that we have got the name of it and this is quite plenty for us to get started a wonderful journey speculating and expecting things along.

Some of the greatest inventions have been the modified version of a failed one or another successful one. The Mobile01 people have recently sent out two pictures recently which they named it as Motorola Shadow, Please don’t confuse this one with T-Mobile Shadow because both are different ones and not the same. This looks like a Deoid or a Milestone; this has a white colored key board and also a wrist strap. The most interesting things are that this could be the next flagship device of Google. The lovingly so called Nexus two.  The main question that can arise is that is this all feasible? Why not, all those things which are products now are once questioned the same.

The best way to complement the Nexus one is that with a physically present QWERTY keyboard. The best company in this whole world who can create such a device in the increased platform and super speed is Android 2.0. This company has got a CEO who is interested to signify the support for a competitor’s product even if it’s a product launch function. The best thing that can come is the one which has the combined features of many products, that’s what people want an All in One product at the cost of one product.

Digia today announced the shipping of @Web, their Webkit based UIQ 3 browser. This application, which has been in fairly open beta testing for the last few months, brings full S60, iPhone & Google Android style browsing to the UIQ 3 platform.

@Web is designed to run on touchscreen UIQ 3 phones, so does not support the Motorola Z8 or Z10 handsets (which is a pity), but it’s a great advance over the built-in Opera based browser included in most UIQ 3 phones and will work for those of you with Sony Ericsson P, M, or W series phones. @Web uses an intuitive, almost gesture based interface, which in some ways resembles what Apple have done on the iPhone’s version of Sefari.
