Google is launching its own set-top box next week made by Logitech; the Android-based will be unveiled next Wednesday October 12 at press events in San Francisco and New
According to reports like Apple’s device, the Google TV is black, although it’s quite a bit larger than Apple’s diminutive box. The Google TV will run on a 1.2-GHz Atom processor with 4 GB memory, 802.11n Wi-Fi, two HDMI-out ports, Dolby 5.1 surround sound and a pair of USB ports. It will also offer video-chat at 720p if you connect a webcam.
It promises an innovative search-based interface. Search for what you want, and it displays content from the Web, cable, satellite and compatible DVRs. Here’s a trailer showing how it works

There will be a lot of new features and additions in OS 4.0 but one of them took our attention. Normally when you go to safari and use the search bar, you can click the “bleu” button on the right side of your keyboard called “Google”, ones clicked your Google search will start. But in OS 4.0 that “bleu” button is no longer called “Google” and is replaced with the word “Search”. What could this mean?
Some time ago there were some rumors about Bing “Microsoft’s search engine” which could be the new default search engine. Is this the proof that Google will no longer be the default search engine on the iDevices? Or maybe we can choose our own default search engine ones OS 4.0 is released.
A recent TechCrunch report shows us that, on average, an iPhone user spends around $80 on iPhone apps. That is a lot of apps, and with over 60.000 apps in the appstore, finding the ones that you really want can be a real pain in the ass. A search engine for iPhone apps can be really useful if there was one… and there is: uQuery
uQuery took the look, feel and usability of Google and made a search engine for the AppStore (Google patented their genius minimalist design for the search engine, so i dont really know if this wont be a problem)
The search engine comes really handy if you’re looking for something in particular or you only have a vague idea about what your looking for. You can look for apps based on their price ( from free to above $19.99 ), you can look for apps based on time periods ( from past 24 hours to past year ), or you can browse categories.You also have a “Recent Apps” column on the right side of the screen which basically displays “premium apps” which means that the developers paid a fee , so their apps will be in the SERPS ( search engine results page ) regardless if the app is or isnt relevant to what the user is searching for ( basic search engine monetization )
When you click on an application, you will be taken to a page which is similar to the one you will find in iTunes where you can find some info about the app, screenshots of the app, a button that will take you to iTunes and a button to tweet about that application.
