In Google news, their I/O conference has brought word of technology that will allow web masters to use more fonts on their sites. Wave is now available to everyone. The Chrome App store could be Google’s revolutionary alternative to desktops. They also have a free video codec coming that will be an alternative to the H2.64 codec Mozilla refuses to implement in Firefox, and YouTube is currently beta testing.
Rumors come from Vietnam that the new iPod touch will be the first iPod to include a camera. The iPhone OS4 is now in beta testing and it finally includes custom dictionaries, which is good news for text-message cursers.
