It sure took 'em long enough -- just over four months if you're keeping score -- but MSI has finally shipped its next-generation netbook. The AMD-powered Wind12 U230 has left the docks today in two distinct flavors (the U230-033 and U230-040), with both touting Windows 7 Home Premium, a 12.1-inch WXGA (1,366 x 768) display, ATI's Radeon HD3200 graphics, 2GB of RAM, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 6-cell battery and a 1.3 megapixel camera. The duo also features three USB sockets, VGA / HDMI outputs, an Ethernet port, audio in / out, a 4-in-1 card reader and a chassis that weighs in at 3.3 pounds. As for the differences? The former ships with an AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 under the hood and a 250GB HDD, while the latter sports an Athlon X2 L335 CPU and a 320GB platter]]> http://createbacklinks.info/msi-starts-shipping-two-12-1-inch-amd-powered-wind12-u230-netbooks/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-integrates-third-party-cloud-apps-with-google-apps-google-apps http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-integrates-third-party-cloud-apps-with-google-apps-google-apps#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:34:42 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-integrates-third-party-cloud-apps-with-google-apps-google-apps
Google just launched a new Google Apps Marketplace where users can discover and deploy third-party cloud applications that integrate with their existing Google Apps accounts. Give the video above a watch for a full overview of how Google Apps Marketplace apps work, or, summed up from the Google Apps Marketplace homepage: The Google Apps Marketplace offers products and services designed for Google users, including installable apps that integrate directly with Google Apps. Installable apps are easy to use because they include single sign-on, Google's universal navigation, and some even include features that integrate with your domain's data. We've detailed how to trick out Google Apps in the past, but the Apps Marketplace brings an entirely new set of potentially useful tools to your Google Apps account—everything from accounting and finance apps to project and customer management. And while the current set of offerings might seem like overkill unless you're a business running on Google Apps, the integration that these tools provide with Google tools like Mail, Calendar, Docs, and Contacts might be well worth it for the right app, and in time, Apps Marketplace sets the stage for all kinds of awesome third-party integration that could potentially take place with any outside application and the Google applications you use every day. ]]> http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-integrates-third-party-cloud-apps-with-google-apps-google-apps/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/google-launches-apps-marketplace-for-the-enterprise http://createbacklinks.info/google-launches-apps-marketplace-for-the-enterprise#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:00:38 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/google-launches-apps-marketplace-for-the-enterprise
Google launched an application marketplace today comprised of services from third-party providers that integrate with the Google Apps ecosystem. The news has been anticipated for some time. In particular, it shows how much Google is embracing open-standards and leveraging its search and Google Apps platform to attract third-party developers. Sponsor Google made the announcement at its Google Campfire One event tonight. ]]> http://createbacklinks.info/google-launches-apps-marketplace-for-the-enterprise/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-instantly-connect-your-app-to-25-million-users-profit http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-instantly-connect-your-app-to-25-million-users-profit#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:00:31 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-instantly-connect-your-app-to-25-million-users-profit
Business to business software can be a tough sell. Online B2B can be even a harder sell. While there is certainly money to be made, unless you’re one of the big players, the likelihood you’re going to succeed is pretty small. Starting today, Google is taking their roll as one of the big players and extending a platform to boost some smaller players. ]]> http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-marketplace-instantly-connect-your-app-to-25-million-users-profit/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-makes-itself-a-platform-for-outside-apps http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-makes-itself-a-platform-for-outside-apps#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:00:29 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-makes-itself-a-platform-for-outside-apps
Google Apps is moving closer to being an integrated corporate dashboard with the announcement tonight of Google Apps Marketplace at a developer event at its headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. The company will give vendors multiple hooks into its own products, handle billing and take a 20 percent cut of revenue in return. Apps, which is now used by more than 2 million businesses and this weekend crossed the mark of 25 million business users, will support enterprise resource management, document management, security and compliance, and a variety of other outside products — about 50 at launch. Though Google had previously offered some enterprise application partnerships with companies like Salesforce and a “ solutions marketplace ” that linked to outside products, and users themselves could add gadgets they chose, the new Apps Marketplace integration is deeper]]> http://createbacklinks.info/google-apps-makes-itself-a-platform-for-outside-apps/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/ebooks-outnumber-games-in-the-app-store http://createbacklinks.info/ebooks-outnumber-games-in-the-app-store#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:00:00 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/ebooks-outnumber-games-in-the-app-store
The number of eBooks in the App Store has surpassed the number of games for the first time, and the spread is widening. Mobclix , a mobile device advertising agency, reports that as of last month, there were over 27,000 eBook apps while games were relegated to the runner-up position of 25,400 apps. Over the last reported month, new introductions of eBook apps more than doubled that of games (158 eBook versus 71 game apps). There are a number of reasons being kicked around to explain this phenomenon. It's easier to churn out an eBook than a game app]]> http://createbacklinks.info/ebooks-outnumber-games-in-the-app-store/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/web-based-productivity-suite-zoho-finds-a-place-in-the-google-apps-marketplace http://createbacklinks.info/web-based-productivity-suite-zoho-finds-a-place-in-the-google-apps-marketplace#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:59:26 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/web-based-productivity-suite-zoho-finds-a-place-in-the-google-apps-marketplace
Zoho, a web-based productivity suite that was called a “fake Office” by a Microsoft VP, is announcing a significant partnership with Google today. The startup will be a launch partner for Google’s recently launched Google Apps Marketplace, which allows vendors to sell applications that compliment Google Apps. Here are our notes from the announcement. Zoho will be integrating two of its over 20 business applications – Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects with Google Apps. So starting today, Google Apps users will be able to add on-demand CRM app Zoho CRM and project management software Zoho Projects into Google Apps. ]]> http://createbacklinks.info/web-based-productivity-suite-zoho-finds-a-place-in-the-google-apps-marketplace/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/razer-and-sixense-distribute-sdk-and-fps-shooter-utility-through-steam http://createbacklinks.info/razer-and-sixense-distribute-sdk-and-fps-shooter-utility-through-steam#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:55:00 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/razer-and-sixense-distribute-sdk-and-fps-shooter-utility-through-steam
Surely you remember those Sixense motion controls that we caught lounging around at Razer's CES booth, right? Yeah . Today at the Game Developers Conference, both outfits have teamed up in order to distribute the Ultra-Precise Motion Controller SDK and FPS utility library via Steam , which should give devs the ability to create new games and port existing titles for use with the aforementioned sticks. We're told that these new tools will require "require virtually no knowledge of the inner workings of the controller," enabling coders to craft titles that take full advantage of the six degrees of freedom. Will this turn the PC into the next Wii? ]]> http://createbacklinks.info/razer-and-sixense-distribute-sdk-and-fps-shooter-utility-through-steam/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/google-unveils-its-cloud-based-apps-marketplace-wants-20-revenue-share http://createbacklinks.info/google-unveils-its-cloud-based-apps-marketplace-wants-20-revenue-share#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:50:54 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/google-unveils-its-cloud-based-apps-marketplace-wants-20-revenue-share
By Scott M. Fulton, III , Betanews Tuesday evening, during an event televised over YouTube called Google Campfire One, Google executives lifted the curtain on its cloud-based Apps Marketplace for PC-based applications, with the promise of opening its online store with 50 charter vendors later in the evening. The Marketplace is designed to feature applications that integrate with the company's existing Google Apps, Gmail, and other cloud-based services. Google Vice President of Engineering Vic Gondotra told attendees at the company's headquarters that the company plans to utilize very simple terms of service. Think of a garden, but more with clearly marked paths as opposed to walls]]> http://createbacklinks.info/google-unveils-its-cloud-based-apps-marketplace-wants-20-revenue-share/feed 0 http://createbacklinks.info/metalab-accuses-mozilla-of-plagiarizing-its-design-updated http://createbacklinks.info/metalab-accuses-mozilla-of-plagiarizing-its-design-updated#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:39:52 +0000 Husky http://createbacklinks.info/metalab-accuses-mozilla-of-plagiarizing-its-design-updated
Andrew Wilkinson of MetaLab has just written a blog post accusing Mozilla of plagiarizing the design of its FlightDeck editor. To make matters worse, Wilkinson says that MetaLab actually bid on creating the design for FlightDeck months ago, but was turned down by Mozilla. While Wilkinson is understandably upset, at this point,it looks like the plagiarized image is just a mockup on the Mozilla wiki — not the actual product (though it’s obviously still in bad taste). ]]> http://createbacklinks.info/metalab-accuses-mozilla-of-plagiarizing-its-design-updated/feed 0
