New Google Chrome Stable Release out

It looks like another faster Google Chrome release. Take a look at the performance benchmarks as well as new features such as themes. Damn i was waiting for plugins/extensions but oh well.

Notably, we’ve improved by more than 150% in Javascript performance since our very first beta, and by more than 25% since the most recent stable release.

The V8 and SunSpider benchmarks measure Javascript performance for browsers

How to move your phone data to Android:Sprite Migrate

Yesterday i told you about this application that lets you sync your contacts to Google Contacts and Windows Live Contacts. The reason why you may wanna do that is because you wanna be able to backup and transfer your contacts, smses, and photo to another phone

What if its an Android phone. Thats where Sprite Migrate comes in. this software from the a company of 2 guys based in Symantec Ghost enables you to transfer:

  • Contacts
  • Call Logs
  • SMS
  • Bookmarks
  • Photos

To your Android phone. How does it work? I have not tried this yet. But they are from the creators of Sprite Backup and from the looks of things they did with that and Ghost i believe they are the right people to come up with such an app.

Do try and let me know your experience.

How to sync your GSM non-smartphones with Live Contacts and Google Contacts

Connection set up

Well this is a real surprise! LifeRocks brings this really good find of a software that enables you to backup and manage your GSM phones contact list.

When i say GSM phones, i think this will appeal to those handset that are not smartphones or do not have a strong network such as Windows Mobile, iPhone iPod Touch, Symbian and Android.

I haven’t really try it although i would love to but to interface with this software you need to at least have a bluetooth enable phone or serial cable, which i don’t on my super old samsung phone!

Anyway this is good if it works, cause it enables you to synchronize with Windows Live Contacts and Google Contacts. I view syncing to Google Contacts to be important since it is a relatively open standard and i am trying to make it my defecto contact list.

Other functionality are as follows:

  • Works in any GSM phone with chip
  • 100% with AT Commands
  • Accepts and maintains data from several cell isolation
    • Custom configuration for each cell
  • Synchronization
    • Windows Live Contacts
    • Google Contacts
  • SMS Manager
  • Simultaneous Transmission of SMS (text format)
  • Delivery reports of SMS
  • Monitoring
    • Battery
    • Signal Quality
    • phonebook in Telephone / Chip
    • SMS Received / Sent / Not Sent
    • Incoming Call
  • Synchronization of Date / Time PC
  • Backup and Restore the phonebook
  • Alarm Management
  • Call Console
  • Registration of Carriers
  • Installs in TrayIcon

Do give it a try and tell me if it works!
