Google's mobile hopes go beyond Nexus One
The world may have thrilled to the potential for a Google Phone, but what Google actually unveiled is its plan for a new smartphone world order.

Using your smartphone safely
faq Worms, Trojans, and SMS attacks are risks for mobile phones, but the biggest practical threat to users is losing the device.
originally going to use Bootcamp but I really did not want to have to reboot to
switch OS.
The installation was a lot easier than Bootcamp as there was no need to burn
a driver CD. All I had to do was supply some system details and insert my
windows CD. The install of Fusion and Windows took about 45-60 mins.
I use a logitech keyboard that has PC and Mac keys, so there was no having to
mentally switch. Still it felt odd to see PC and Mac apps on the same monitor!
I borrowed a few games to see how far I could push things. It certainly looks
like Fusion will run older games like the Age of Empires series. Not so sure
about more recent games with high graphics demands though. I tried one
game called Ceasar, that had some very high system requirements and could
not get it to run. I did pre order a release copy of Fusion so I will update and
try again.

- I've heard from a Mac fan, that with the new OS (or maybe a later update) you'll be able to switch back and forth FAST. Just like putting one OS in sleep, and awaking the other. I know it's no where close to running both at the same time... but since booth camp is free... Any idea how much will VMWare Fusion be?
