Mobile browsing can be a drag if you are not confident of the actual browser you are using. And while many of us have our preferences on whether to use Opera, Safari or UCWEB, add a new browser on your possible browsing software preference with the launch of GO.

GO is a brainchild of China’s 3G.cn. GO brings a tremendous change on your browser options. Compared with the previous PLAYER, 3G.cn’s advantages in user number and traffic flow will add more confidence to the browser which sounds vigorous.

“GO stands for a new start. 3G era is coming. The experience and standard of mobile applications are changed totally.” As usual, Yuqiang Deng, CEO of 3G.cn takes technology and product as impetus. Due to 3G.cn’s industrial position and its dual-core strategy known as “portal plus mobile applications”, the browser GO became a topic unceasingly guessed about in the industry before it was released.

It looks like the Symbian Foundation has been doing its jobs lately. And in the process it hooked up with ST-Ericsson and ARM to make Symbian run on a SMP or Symmetric Multiprocessing configuration. That means Symbian can definitely work on dual-core CPUs which is great news:

The test environment consists of an ST-Ericsson U8500 smartphone platform embedding the first silicon implementation of ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore in the industry. A single instance of the Symbian operating system schedules multiple threads concurrently, distributing the CPU load on two cores. This guarantees the best combination of high performance and low power providing an unparalleled capability to build next generation mobile products for a variety of advanced consumer experiences.

So with that in mind, here’s what that whole platform can do:

• HD 1080p camcorder and video
• Up to 18 Million pixels camera
• ~100 hours audio playback time
• 10 hours HD video playback time
• Simultaneously TV out over HDMI
• Video and Imaging accelerator
• HW accelerated 3D Graphics supporting OpenGL ES2.0
• 2xWVGA (960×854) displays
• Touch UI on 2 displays

Impressed by any of that? You should very well be! And you should also be ready to wait for the first smartphone ready to offer all that as it’s going to take a while from concept to final product.

Although it was announced for Q3 2008, the new Intel Atom dual core processor will be available for retail only in the fourth quarter. The new Atom dual core is named Atom 330 and it will have dual 1.6GHz cores, a 533MHz FSB and 1MB cache or 512KB per core.
The dual core will cost $43 compared to the Atom 230, the single core version, which costs $29.

The Intel Atom 330 will be used in future netbooks, MIDs and ultraportables. That means we are likely to see upgraded Eee and Eee clones running on dual core processors.
