The latest google phone – HTC Magic with Google exclusively only to Vodafone seems to be a very good phone. It has a longer battery life and slimmer / smaller design compared to HTC Dream.

White color is only available exclusively to vodafone. You can get it free for signing up a 24 months contract. AUD$69 per month (AUD$1656 total over 24 months). Just bear in mind if you want to quit the contract before 24 months, you will have to pay for the remaining months.

I have bought my HTC Magic with Google from eBay, white and without Vodafone logo . I’ll post some pictures when I got my hands on it.

Here comes another good software from Google – Google Web Browser ! After installed and have a run, outstanding ! It feels really smooth and light.

After the installation, it let you choose where to import your data such as IE, Firefox etc. It works preatty much the same as FIrefox but lighter and slimmer. The interface is clean and neat which gives more space for web content.

However, Google chrome does not support plugin (soon perhaps). If you like plugins might as well still stay with Firefox until plugins feature is supported in Chrome.

Google Talk, Labs Edition is another version of google talk with additional features such as group chat, google calendar and Orkut notifications.
