Chromium browser run on the Nokia N900
Some enthusiasts have managed to carry a version of Chromium 32-bits made for Debian, the project behind Google's browser. Unlike other projects where only part of the project portal, this is the full version of the browser, as it is available for computers, thus all the advantages that desktop users, owners also have a Nokia N900.
The process to install the browser on the phone has been published, and impressively is not very difficult since it only requires a few commands executed from a terminal. These are the steps required:
• Download the needed packages and put them in the root of the N900.
• In the console, type root and press enter.
• Type cd / home / user / MyDocs / dpkg-i file-name-descargado.deb
• Run dpkg-i file-name-descargado.deb
With that technically it is sufficient to have a full version of Chromium on the N900, with support for various plugins (Flash course included). I wish there were benchmarks (performance tests) to see if it is usable or is it just to have it as an experiment.

Google introduces Gesture Search to search by typing on the screen
Google has released Gesture Search, a search system for mobile version 2.0 of Android.
This search system will enable us to find a contact, a bookmark, the browser that we saved on the phone or open an application to write on the screen only the first letter of what we are looking for ... as simple as you can see in the image that heads this post.
The system we will be very useful to those who do not like the search for voice or for use as an alternative at the moment we can not speak up ... Also, the voice search is currently only offered in English by Google ...
A plus is that Google Gesture Search is fully integrated with Google Maps so you can also find places to write with his finger on the screen of our Android.
More and more I like the improvements offered by Google for its phones, also shows in many applications, the insertion that society is having on developers and "the hand" of open source enthusiasts.
