Mozilla wants to make it big in the Mobile world with 'Mobile Device Independent' App Store"

"Mozilla wants to make it big in the Mobile(NOKIA N800 and NOKIA 810) world and has revealed it's plans for an unique mobile app store in it's annual report – 'The State of Mozilla' which was released recently. Mozilla has already brought the desktop Firefox experience to mobile devices long back as the Fennec browser which was initially launched for the Maemo platform on Nokia N900. Mozilla has designed a prototype of mobile app store and plans to call it a 'Open Web App ecosystem'. The aim is to create an open app store platform that would consist of apps which can run on all Mobile device, in other words – A 'Mobile Device Independent' App Store."  An Open App store can have two implications. It could be possible that when the Mozilla App store goes live. Mobile device user start flocking to it as they will find Apps for all devices at one place. Since people have multiple handsets these days, the above implication quite makes sense. On the other hand It is also possible that users do not actually visit the Mozilla App store as the general tendency is to download Apps from a repository that is bundled within the mobile device and no mobile device would give the Mozilla App Store a priority over their in house app stores.

Google add New Application to Gmail Call Recorder.



Google recently added in Gmail the ability to make phone calls from your inbox, and they've recently (silently) rolled out the ability to record incoming calls as well.
While we mentioned call recording as a cool way to take advantage of Gmail calling, Google adding in this feature means you don't need any extra software to get the job done—just hit the record button to record the call with Google Voice. Note that it only works for incoming calls—you won't be able to record calls you initiate from your Gmail inbox.
Google hasn't officially announced anything about the new feature, but reports of its existence are cropping up all over the net. We tested it ourselves, and sure enough, as long as the call was incoming and not outgoing, that little record button popped right up.
