20.11.2005 Intel to take 'Averill' to market as Centrino-like platform
Intel will next year launch its third branded PC platform, after Centrino and Viiv, this time pitched at corporate desktops.
As yet there's no word on the platform's go-to-market brandname, but it will almost certainly be based on Intel's 'Averill' platform. Averill was announced at the chip giant's Developer Forum in March this year for availability in 2006.
Averill is based on Intel's upcoming 'Broadwater' chipset, which will ship primarily as the 965 family, but also as the 946 and 963 product lines, it is believed. The platform also takes in Intel's next-generation Gigabit Ethernet controller, 'Nineveh', and its 65nm dual- and single-core Pentium D and Pentium 4 6xx processors.

29.08.2008Google's Android Market now taking paid apps
As the Android Developers Blog indicates, Google's Android Market, found on their Android mobile OS, is now accepting paid applications from
developers in the US and the UK, and said applications will become available next week. Having the Android Market accept paid applications is an
excellent step in providing an opponent for Apple's App Store, as many developers don't want to put time, money and effort into making
applications that will given away for free. Allowing them to choose a price for their applications gives them incentive, and in turn will lead to
growth of Google's store. The method of payment and billing for these applications will be via Google Checkout.

and white interface, users were presented with a graphical interface to view and download the latest and greatest Android application from a host of

to settle that with the developer and not with Google themselves. Otherwise, you can take the matter to your credit card company directly.
