– This title is from an article published on CNN this morning? It is really a great article that points out the flaws of the iPhone 4. They also point out that the HTC Evo (Android Powered) also has a front facing camera for video chats.

My personal opinion is that this is starting us down the right path. The big problem right now is that you can only call to other iPhones… and only in wifi.

I think that for now most folks are going to use secondary apps like Fring, or Skype for video chats because they work across all platforms.. but I hope to see the day when we can make video calls to all network, and to landlines, etc. That would be great.

– As many of you know, speed reading using technology (or flash players) is one of the things I recommend for saving time in the gProductivity system. Here is an article that talks about some of the best tips and tricks for speed reading.

– Lifehacker has a great article on how to mount USB drives and keyboards from your computer on your Nexus One. While it is really techie right now and you probably wouldn’t want to try it on your own, it does open the door for a possible future end user application that would do the same.

Being able to connect all sorts of devices to our super phones is always a nice thing.

– Google collaborated with Pixar to create one of those funny “Search Stories.” Check out the link below to see a nice Toy Story search story.

– Google announced today a new way they are searching the internet. For most of us that really just means that their content will be faster and more fresh. In layman’s terms.

It looks like instead of indexing entire pages only periodically they will take dynamic information (the power of the internet now a days) and be able to add that to the index they maintain without having to rescan the entire website. That is pretty amazing.

There will certainly be some implications for SEO and webmasters.

You can read more about it at the link below.

– Google updated their chat client to include nice little icons at the top of the chat window for enabling video chat and group chats. I guess I won’t be the cool guy any more that knows how to do all this “cool stuff” with Google… dang…

It’s alright though…

You can read more about it with the link below.

– “Share, annotate and review your documents online.” That is LetsAnnotate.com’s tagline. TechCruch pointed them out today and I think they have potential!

They are really a nice Googellize technology in that they have not only an online interface, but the ability to collaboratively annotate PDF’s on an iPad as well. That is pretty neat.

There is a FREE forever plan for up to 2MB and 2 collaborators. They also have some paid plans for more collaborators and more space.

– There is a great extension for you Google freaks out there that easily allows you to open all links to PDF’s and PowerPoint presentations in the Google Docs viewer without having to download them locally. With the recent addition that allows you to easily save things to google docs there is no need to save locally!

Nice! This will be very helpful in the Chrome OS!

– Lifehacker’s Gina posted an article today about digitizing your life. She did a fantastic job of breaking it down by the following categories.

1. Paper
2. Images
3. Audio
4. Video
5. Storage and Organization

This deserves a good read for any modern knowledge worker!
