We had an explosive episode exploring the Mobile World Congress with Sherwin Loh(http://www.twitter.com/angelsherwin), a run down on Google Buzz and the Google Personal Babelfish or the Google Star Trek Universal Translator, And Jen-ii (or what was formerly known as the Mak-cik PC. Translation: Aunty PC)
You will hear a slew of new product announcements from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Intel, Microsoft Windows Phone 7 and new partnerships. Some of the biggest news like Nokia Maemo and Intel Moblin to merge to a new product called MeeGo, Mobile Windows Phone 7’s impressive new concept and other product announcement that Sherwin will share with us.
Related to the mobile world, Adobe Air announced that they will develop Air for mobile devices. I think this gave us the biggest “Sigh” in the podcast.
We dissected Google Buzz and what is really mean to us after 2 weeks of usage. Is this going to be a useful tool for gmail users or a lead in to something bigger from Google?
Somehow with all the Mobile World Congress and Google Buzz hype, the Google Speech-To-Speech translator slipped in unnoticed by most of us. So hear what we thing about another game changer that Google is developing.
We then diverted to talk about translation as a whole while expanding on the google’s speech-to-speech translator and ended up having lots of time wasting fun with Translation Party (http://translationparty.com). So if you want to know what the title of the podcast means go here – http://www.translationparty.com/#6616031 and find out what we were laughing about.
We ended with the most crucial technology contribution that Mimos (Malaysia) will bring to the community. The Aunty PC (Jen-ii, formerly known as the Mak-cik PC) A hilarious tickling of the funny bone ensues…
Enjoy!
