Google has updated its service Wave. Heralded as the gravedigger of the email to its release, Google is a little wave in limbo since, for lack of use or users connected. At Google, we believe that just seems to propose new uses for it off again.
The development team has proposed a new programming interface (API) to allow the display of "waves" ("Waves," the term used for a thread within the application) public, even to non service-users. Read only, and these waves can be broadcast on another site, for example, using Wave Element .
"Before this launch," says Google, "the developers could integrate the waves on their sites, but the visitors could not see them unless they had a Google Account Wave, they were connected, and if they had Access to this particular wave. "It is now past, since the update can make visible the waves recorded in the group public@a.gwave.com to any visitor, registered or not, connected or not .
The new API also provides optional parameters, such as the ability to display the participants in a wave in the header, or include the Google toolbar Wave. Google has made available a tutorial for the API.
Sign for Google, uses are the crux of the problem, the giant cracks of a list of ideas for possible uses. Live-blogging, posting invitations with the ability to immediately respond by checking a box on a site, dissemination of materials easy to update, dissemination of information on several sites with a single wave, etc..

Eye-Fi Geo X2: a new memory card Wi-Fi location-based
Eye-Fi now complete its range of memory cards connected by upgrading an older model. The new Eye-Fi Geo X2 interposed between the model and first prize and the intermediate model.
For those who have not yet found their happiness in the completeness of the range, this new model combines 4GB of X2 Connect function geotagging Explore the X2. It relies on the recall process of the Wi-Fi triangulation, which determines the approximate location of the memory card according to the Wi-Fi range. However, it does not inherit the function of connecting to public access points, for the time reserved for the U.S. territory of the latter.
It nonetheless shares the technical unified new range including a storage medium that meets the requirements of Class 6, a Wi-Fi N, and support many services sharing online.
The Eye-Fi Geo X2 will be marketed in France since the May retail price of EUR 80, midway between the two models that surround it.

Twitter application for Android 2.1 Available
Twitter offers from this weekend's official application dedicated to the Android platform, but only for owners of version 2.1 or higher of the mobile OS.
The application's interface is substantially similar to that of the microblogging site and offers easy access to all features of Twitter: tweets and retweets, managing lists, entries, private messages, the hashtags or the LBS are the party.
Still, the formal application does not have certain features offered by competitors, including managing multiple accounts or videos. Those absences, coupled with the need to have a version of Android 2.1 minimum risks alienating some users to switch between applications, pending a potential update.
Twitter for Android is available free on the Android Market.

Apple’s 4G iPhone Founder
Brian J. Hogan, a 21-year-old resident of Redwood City, California, has been identified by Wired.com as the finder of Apple’s prototype iPhone by following clues on social-network sites, while working with a source involved in the iPhone find. Hogan says he regrets not doing more to return the device to Apple, and claims that he sold the prototype unit to Gizmodo believing the payment was for allowing the site exclusive access to review it.
According to a statement provided by Hogan’s attorney, Jeffrey Bornstein, on Thursday, “Hogan was in the bar with friends when another patron handed him the phone after finding it on a nearby stool.” The report revealed, “The patron asked Hogan if the phone belonged to him, and then left the bar. Hogan asked others sitting nearby if the phone belonged to them, and when no one claimed it, he and his friends left the bar with the device.” One of Hogan’s friends reportedly offered to call Apple Care on Hogan’s behalf in an effort to return the phone, but, somewhere along the line, they allegedly hit a roadblock.
Several publications and tech journalists were then offered to analyze the device, one of which was Wired.com, which received an email on March 28 with an invitation to have access to it. The paper refused. Then, Gizmodo got its hands on it, according to the story.
Although Hogan has been interviewed by law enforcement investigators, he has not been charged with a crime as of yet, Wired reports. His attorney also revealed to the press that Hogan and his family had relocated in anticipation of a media frenzy. “This thing has gotten completely, completely out of control,” Bornstein said. “He made a mistake,” Bornstein added. “He should have just immediately turned that phone in.”
