Finally I am back after 2 hectic weeks. And I come back with a great news to share with you guys.

Google is going to launch its new service (yes, another new one) called, Google Base. This service is yet available, but very soon you will see it online because there were some screen shots have been taken !! Well, there are rumours suggesting this service will be introduced in Google Zeitgeist’05 Partner Forum, which will be held at Google HQ in California today.

So, what is Google Base? According to the screen shots, it is basically a free service for you to post your information/items and share it with your friends. The information posted will become searchable in Google Search. Information you can store in Google Base are like :-

• Description of your party planning service
• Articles on current events from your website
• Listing of your used car for sale
• Database of protein structures
• Your home-made recipe

Google Base – A Place To Hold Your Info For Free

Well, usually I will avoid writing the same news others have already posted, but this is too big as a news for all bloggers and blog readers as well. Even if I write about the same news, I will try to get as much extra information or links to add some value to my post.

Anyway, Google has just launched its latest service, Google Reader. I lost count how many new services has Google launched in this year. Basically, Google Reader is like a one-stop online feed reader, which allows you to subscribe to any website with any form of feeds (RSS or Atom) then read them online.

I ain’t going to write a review of Google Reader, instead just to give you some idea what are the basic features. Other than subscribing to the feeds that you have known from the website that you visit often, you can search and subscribe to new feeds too. For example, as shown in the following figure, say you want to subscribe to feeds regarding mobile phone, the search will give a list of famous websites’ feeds.

Google Reader – A Place To Read Feeds

As we have seen in the post of a Super Laptop, there is a possibility of having 1TB (Terabytes) (1,000GB) of memory and 2TB of storage space for a Laptop. Hence, you probably wont feel surprise when Dr Hwang Chang Gyu, the CEO of Samsung, one of the world’s largest flash memory manufacturer, suggested that laptop hard drives will be replaced by solid-state Flash memory in near future.

In fact, Samsung has just developed an incredible 16GB NAND chip using 50nm (Nanometre) technology. Seeing this technology breakthrough, Dr Hwang continued to suggest that NAND flash technology development continues to double density growth on an average of every 12 months. Hence hopefully by late 2006/07, we will see laptop memory with 32GB of NAND memory, based on nineteen of 16GB flash chips.

Flash Memory Will Rule, Says Samsung CEO

Urchin is a website statistic analysis script used by website owners to track the traffic and user experience of the website. If you happen to have a hosting account with you, probably you have heard about this useful analytics scipt other than Webalizer and Awstats. Anyway, this great service was acquired by Google in March, 2005, but its future development has been a mystery since the acquisition. Though Urchin still selling its service to the end users through its website, no one (of course except Google employees) actually knows what Google will do to Urchin.

Somehow, when I was playing with the latest Google AdSense feature in Blogger.com just now, I found that Google is actually applying Urchin on its free blogging service. I saw connections established to service.urchin.com, when I login to the Google AdSense account from within Blogger.com.

So, I guess Google is only applying Urchin service to its own services at the moment. One thing I really hope to see in near future is Google offering this expensive website analytics script Free Of Charge like the rest of its great services.

Although Sprint is not one of the Telcos over here, still news about the launch of new products are always good to share.

Anyway, Sprint has just announced the launch of its first Pocket PC phone, PCS Vision Smart Device PPC-6700. It is in fact the first PDA phone in the US to offer the latest Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 as the operating system. One thing attracted me was the keyboard which slides out from under the screen, when you slide open the keyboard, the screen rotates into landscape mode. This would be very useful to view documents like Excel and web pages.

Sprint First Smart Phone

Guess I have missed to make a prediction of such service from the past 2 articles about the possible Google products. Anyway, I have just come across what I guess to be another new service (Yup, another one!) from Google, Google WiFi. We can use this free service with an additional service, Google Secure Access, too.

Before you head over to the page to download the Google Secure Access, for your information, Google Secure Access currently only available at certain locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. By the way, San Francisco City will be going entirely wireless in near future.

What the new service will do is to receive the internet traffic from our PC and encrypt it while it is sending through Google’s servers then the data will be sent back through Google servers to our computer. By doing so, Google Secure Access allows us to establish a more secure connection while using Google WiFi.

Now, even WiFi service also Google took a step into the industry, let’s see what else the giant search engine company will do the next. :)
