Google earth moves to oceans  

Posted by: shilpz in , , ,







Google announced that the latest version of Google Earth maps the oceans in much more detail*. To view the ocean imagery, tick the Ocean layer in Google Earth.

Also, Google says that Google Earth 5 delivers historical images, letting you move back in time to see earth as it once was. To see this, click the clock icon on top in Google Earth and slide the time indicator back up to roughly half a century. New in this version as well is a 3D view of the Mars surface, as Google writes.

Posted by: shilpz in , ,


After word got out that Britney Spears’ next tour would be sponsored by Virgin Mobile and the Helio Ocean 2, the estimated Ocean 2 launch date finally found it’s first deadline: March 3rd, the first day of the tour. We can now confirm that the Helio Ocean 2 will be coming over 3 weeks earlier, launching on Helio.com on February 12.

The Specs:

  • 2.6″ QVGA Screen
  • Optical Sensor for touchpad-like navigation
  • Dual slider (One QWERTY, one number pad), a la the original ocean
  • 5 hours of talk time, 10 days of standby
  • 2GB internal storage, microSD support
  • 2MP Camera w/ video support, night shot, and geotagging
  • Full HTML browser with tabbed browsing
  • Upgraded Ultimate Inbox: Threaded text messages, Google Talk
  • Access to all the Helio services: connect Buddy Beacon, WHERE, HelioUP

Contrary to what we’ve seen in previously leaked images, the Ocean 2 will be launching in the “red limited edition” color scheme you see above, with other colors said to be coming “later in the year”.
