Google Nexus One, the 'superphone', launched

Google has launched the Google Nexus One, its first official mobile phone in a move that will see the search giant directly challenge the dominance of Apple’s iPhone.
It is available for delivery from America for $529 (£324), plus $29.65 shipping (£18), from today, and will be available on a UK Vodafone contract “within weeks”. Until then, any imports will attract additional import duty.

Google unveiled the Nexus One at its Silicon Valley headquarters during a low-key event that was as hotly anticipated as any of Apple’s dramatic launches. Although the handset is not the first to use the Google operating system, called Android, it is the first device that the company has designed itself. High-speed web browsing and voice recognition for writing emails or controlling the device are the two key features the company hopes will distinguish its product in a crowded market. Google claims the device's high specifications make it the first of a new class of "superphone".

RAM Upgrade: How To Upgrade Your Memory

In this age of instant gratification, nothing can frustrate a computer user more than a desktop PC that takes a really looooonnng time to finish a task. But that's the reality when you've been using a system for a few years. In the interim there have been new applications you've downloaded, maybe even a new operating system that you've installed because you thought it would actually speed up your PC. The most likely culprit for this loss of speed is the memory (or not enough of it). The good news is upgrading to more memory is a simple enough fix, and we're just the ones to walk you through the steps.
When it comes to upgrading your system's RAM (random access memory), the hardest part isn't the installation. Rather, it's the research and shopping you'll have to do to find the correct memory module.
How Much Memory Do You Have?
The first thing you need to figure out is how much memory you actually have. To do that, you point your cursor to the "My Computer" icon on your desktop, right-click, and choose Properties. This procedure is slightly different in Windows Vista and Windows 7, where you will have to click on the windows icon in the bottom left of your screen an then right click on "Computer". The window that comes up will tell you the basics about your system, including how much memory you have on board.
