Unfortunately, it looks like that's all Google fixed. As we noted in our review of the Gmail app, it's missing a ton of critical features such as the ability to check multiple accounts at once.

However, Google did say in its blog post today that more features are coming soon.

This USB Stick Is Actually A Dual-Core Computer

FXI Technologies has unveiled a USB stick that turns any screen into an Android-based computer, reports Laptop Mag. Its internals aren't too bad either -- it packs a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out, and a microSD card slot. It's pretty much a Galaxy S II without the ability to make phone calls. 


It currently runs Android 2.3 and future versions will be able to run the ARM version of Windows 8. Called "Cotton Candy" due to how little it weighs, the device is still in the early stages of development and isn't ready for release. FXI hasn't said anything specific about pricing except that it will cost "considerably less than $200."

Sony CEO accidentally reveals secret details about iPhone 5

Sir Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony, accidentally told everyone in the world that his company will be supplying image sensors for Apple's iPhone 5. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg, the Sony chief was talking about earthquake damage to 15 of the Sony's factories in Japan, and inadvertently mentioned that a camera sensor made in one of those plants is on its way to Apple, and that sensor would be delayed because of the quake and tsunami. Stringer didn't specifically say that Sony is building an 8-megapixel image sensor that will go into the iPhone 5, but since Sony is currently not manufacturing any image sensors for Apple, this confirmed that Sony plans to supply components of the iPhone 5.

This points to the distinct possibility that in the iPhone 5, Apple will no longer be using those OmniVision 5-megapixel image sensors currently inside the iPhone 4. This is supported by an analyst's report from February of this year saying that OmniVision might lose out on supplying cameras for the iPhone 5 because OmniVision's 8-megapixel sensor won't be ready for the iPhone 5's rumored mid-summer launch.

Because Stringer was talking about the irony of supplying the company's best camera to Apple, we can only surmise that he was talking about an 8-megapixel sensor. Here's what The Wall Street Journal wrote about Stringer's quote when reporting on its own event this morning:

Early on, he raised the irony of Sony supplying camera components for Apple devices. It "always puzzles me," he said. "Why would I make Apple the best camera?" It is unclear what devices he was talking about as Sony isn't known to supply key camera components, known as image sensors, to Apple; A Sony spokeswoman declined to comment and an Apple spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment.
