Myspace Gets NEW Mobile Site
Dec 5th
Myspace have just launched a new version of their mobile website designed for many handsets. Those popular amongst are the: iPhone, Android and Palm WebOS users. The now-improved site at m.myspace.com offers quick access to your profile, including comments, your activity stream, your status, your inbox and more. Also available is a button dedicated to your photos, which makes it easier to browse through your albums.
However, the most notable of the new features is the built-in instant-messaging function which makes the new mobile website a communication tool in addition to being just another social-networking app. As i said the new version of the mobile website is aimed at alot of smart phones although is accessible to any phone with internet access, the new site is specifically designed to take advantage of features present in the advanced web browsers present on those devices. Users visiting from other phones will still visit the older site, which itself was revamped at the beginning of the year, with a new look designed to make it more closely resemble the original, desktop-based website.
Myspace have said that, 75% of its user base accesses the mobile web site, so im guessing this could explain why they’ve focused on updating the site first before updating the web based site along with the apps. However, it’s likely that the majority of their mobile web visitors are those without expensive smartphones, and so are being redirected to the older site.
So are you a myspace user, own a smartphone and want to check out the new site?
Simply from your mobile browser visit: m.myspace.com. The new changes are live for everyone as of now.
Google Chromium OS For The Dell Netbook
Dec 1st
Boffins get the OS up and running
A keen set of researchers over at Dell have released an unofficial version of the new Google Chrome OS running on its Mini 10v netbook.
Just a week after the Chromium OS was released to the open source community for testing, Doug Anson, a Dell technology strategist, has finally reported success. It’s still very unstable, comes with no support and Doug warns “it’s definitely not perfect (read: highly experimental, untested, unstable, yada yada…) but it does appear to function.”
It wasn’t a simple process with Doug noting that it’ll take between five and ten minutes for the network connection manager to allow you to connect. He’s also keen to point out that downloading it is at your own risk and it comes totally unsupported and is tested very minimally.
For the rest of us, we’ll have to wait another year before seeing the OS and there’s still no word on any official Google Chrome OS netbooks, but in the meantime if you fancy your chances on a Dell Mini 10v or any Linux device you can download the code here.
It has been announced that Dell have released an unofficial version of the new Google Chrome OS running on its Mini 10v netbook. Last week the “Chromium OS” was released as an open source operating system for testing. Dell have now reported success in making it stable to run on a netbook well. It still needs alot of work although it will run, but many bugs and updates for it will be make available as they are produced.
The note that there were problems that include things like the network manager taking 5-10 minutes to connect up, this was one amongst some of the things that need readjusting. Dell also keen to point out that downloading it is at your own risk and it comes totally unsupported and is tested very minimally.
For the rest of us, we’ll have to wait another year before seeing the OS and there’s still no word on any official Google Chrome OS netbooks, but in the meantime if you fancy your chances on a Dell Mini 10v go out and get one.
