Finally start with Mac OS version, then tried on Linux (Fedora x86_64 RPM build by google), and Finally on Windows. It imported all data from <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html">Firefox</a> on All platforms very easily , no error, and look was same on all OS, Same feel. </p> <p>Book Mark Sync was quick feature, which I liked most as Firefox, need to install <a href="https://mozillalabs.com/weave/">Weave</a> and then it ask Few more username and password and PIN, then start sync, but for Chrome, someone need only Google a/c and it is done. But what I missed is Merge feature, which works better on Firefox (it ask what to merge), but chrome don’t. You have to merge or not sync at all. Secondly not sure, but I found it is not syncing Password and Browser history like Mozilla Weave</p> <p>Overall smooth ride, cool look, faster loading, interface than Firefox.</p> <p>for i18n/l10n point, it is not available in my language (Punjabi), for which I pushed <a href="http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=41900">Issue</a>. For Indic, it is available in Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu.</p> <p>it is Open Source, so got en-GB file to translate, start work if I can push to Google, where I am not sure whether they accept code or not.</p> A S Alamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14134648935503603983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444628708489832896.post-72052895966619959542010-04-06T23:06:00.002+05:302010-04-06T23:15:18.278+05:30Punjabi input on Nokia N900...Punjabi Keyboard (virtual) layout is ready for Use with <a href="http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/">Nokia N900</a>.<br />
Please suggest if you have any comments about it. <br />
<br />
<b>Add Punjabi Layout to N900:</b><br />
<br />
Download <a href="http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/ukeyboard">ukeyboard</a><br />
install it on your device.<br />
<br />
Download attached file <a href="http://satluj.com/sites/satluj.com/files/n900keyboardlayout.zip">n900keyboardlayout</a>.zip [1], unzip it<br />
and scp "<b>pa-jhelum.vkb</b>" file to N900 in following directory:<br />
<br />
<b>/usr/share/ukeyboard</b><br />
<br />
<b>Enable Punjabi Layout:</b><br />
<br />
Goto <b> </b><br />
<b>Settings-> Text input -> 1st language --Change this to ਜੇਹਲਮ (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ)</b><br />
<br />
Now you can start type Punjabi. Meanwhile I am trying to add<br />
this layout to ukeyboard so that Punjabi support available<br />
by default.<br />
<br />
Note: you need to install fonts for Punjabi, please read<br />

Buy cost is <b>~32,000 INR</b>, which seems too costly when we<br />
compare with latest <a href="http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperiax10?cc=in&lc=en" title="Sony Ericsson X10">Sony Ericsson X10</a>. X10 with<br />
almost same price provide more feature, almost all<br />
feature with 1Ghz, which make phone future-proof <br />
(minimum for few months at least).<br />
you can check compare at <a href="http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3001&idPhone2=2964" title="MileStone Vs X10">GSMarena</a><br />
