HTC Desire and Nexus One ignores Super AMOLED, instead gets Super LCD Screens
The all new HTC mobile i.e., the Desire and the Nexus One will be coming with the S-LCD Display instead of expecting AMOLED. HTC officially announced it will be swapping AMOLED with Super LCD (SLCD) displays in several of its phones later this summer, including the Desire and Nexus One.
The reason for the change, according to HTC, is the high level of demand for phones with 3.7-inch displays, on top of the low availability of AMOLED screens.
We dont know which one is better but the SLCD-equipped versions of HTC smartphones get an added benefit: better battery life. “The SLCD displays provide consumers with a comparable visual experience to HTC’s current 3.7 inch displays with some additional benefits including battery performance,” said HTC CEO Peter Chou.

Google search share slips: Report
(Reuters) - Google's dominance in search market is at saturated point? According to the research firm Strategy Analytics (SA), Google's position on the global online search market slipped slightly in the second quarter, as it retreated from the Chinese market, said on Friday.
Google's market share fell to 69.7 percent in the June quarter from 71.1 percent in the previous three months.
"Google's search revenue growth continues to slow down as the Western search market reaches maturity and Google struggles to gain share in the fastest-growing Asian markets," said Martin Olausson, analyst at Strategy Analytics.
"As a company, it will become increasingly more important for Google to find significant new revenue streams in order to offset decelerating growth in search," Olausson said.
