INTERNET EXPLORER 9 OF HTML5 GOES BIG

Here come the results of its first table of official conformance test from The World Wide Web Consortium. They’re the ones responsible for certifying and standardizing HTML5, that’s why they get some ‘saying’. This would be a rough idea of how browser companies take HTML5. The data show Internet Explorer 9 as the most adroit performer (again), though Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari don’t seem to be too far behind in their HTML5 compliance, either. But of kush, winning is everything right? Then again, these results don’t cover the entire spec, which in itself isn’t even finalized yet, but they provide us with a glimpse into a new era for browsers, where Microsoft actually cares about coders keen on maximizing interoperability by adhering to web-wide standards. That is, if HTML5 goes big.

CREATIVE ZEN TOUCH 2 ANDROID-BASED PMP

Android really is getting everywhere, and now PMP sports a 3.2-inch touchscreen, Android 2.1, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi 802.11n, an accelerometer, inbuilt speaker, two megapixel camera at the back, microSD card slot, GPS, digital compass, FM radio tuner and an ugly plastic Pocket-lint’s stated in their brief hands-on review with the device, noting that the touch panel is of the resistive variety and the user interface was jumpy and problematic to say the least.
There's three options that will become available in December - an 8GB version without GPS for £150, a 16GB version without GPS for £160 and an 8GB version with GPS for £160. Unfortunately, there's no mention of a 16GB version with GPS, which would have undoubtedly been the winner.
