Google Video Chat

Well Google finally released a Video client. They have had the chat client for a while, but now you can video chat also. This is good like Skype for cross platform communication, because other services like MSN video chat require you to run Windows to video chat with users, so if you have a Mac, you can’t video chat with MSN users unless you run Bootcamp or the like.
You can download it over here – http://mail.google.com/videochat

Google to release Google Chrome browser

Tomorrow Google will release to the public it’s interenet browser.
They have released a comic here to explain and promote the browser.
It will be interesting to see what features they have and how it will be adopted in a world full of browsers already.
Stay tuned for a small review on the Browser after I test it tomorrow.

Edit 9/10/08:
After using the browser for a bit, here is my takes on the new Chrome browser.
It is definitely faster than any of the other browsers at rendering.
Some Java applications on pages did not function correctly however. For example I could not print PayPal shipping labels to my label printer. Also from what I heard, it has many security issues also.
The tear off tabs feature is cool, you can pull tabs out of the window to form there own separate windows or combine separate windows to form tabs.
So far there are no plug ins that I know of like Firefox has.
Since it’s beta, they definitely will address some of these issues and then maybe it can and will be used instead of the default browsers that come with Windows or OSX.

Google formatted page for iPhone and iPod Touch

Google now has formatted the mobile webpage to work with Mobile Safari. All you need to do is surf to Google’s homepage with Mobile Safari on the iPhone or iPod Touch and it will automatically load up the mobile version. You can still select the classic regular layout also. Google did this by using Ajax and other “Web 2.0″ technology.
