BGR is reporting that Verizon is going to drop the Motorola Droid 2, and they will replace it with the Droid 2 World edition, which can tun on GSM/HSPA networks. That's a good news for the people who are looking forward to the Droid 2, because if you love traveling other countries, then the world edition would be good for you. But if you already bought the phone, then this might be a bad news for you, but I don't think so because the only different thing will be the radio frequencies, everything else would be same. This news is not 100% confirmed and not written on stone. So folks stay tuned with us, because we will keep you updated with it.

By the way I was thinking, isn't Verizon thinking to replace it with LTE 4G version of Droid 2, What do you say?'

As we know that there are lot of similarities between Desire HD and HD2, especially the display, both share the same 4.3 inch screen, that's why the ROM runs very smoothly. There was a video on Youtube in which the ROM was running on the HD2, but unfortunately the video has been pulled off.

Internet Explorer might be the most popular browser today but we all have to admit that its popularity is declining. With Chrome and Firefox around, Microsoft will have a lot of work in its hands in order to be competitive. It seems that Microsoft has taken its job seriously and has released Internet Explorer 9 beta.

As mentioned earlier, Microsoft is losing market share with Internet Explorer since its popular browser isn't following the latest standards. Microsoft is planning to take the market back with latest version of Internet Explorer, or it will at least try to keep its market share and stop the progress of Google Chrome and Firefox.

One of the complaints about Internet Explorer 8 was its speed, and according to users, browser itself was slow. Microsoft is going to change that because Internet Explorer 9 comes with redesigned user interface and improved speed. In addition, Internet Explorer 9 is the first browser that will use full hardware acceleration when you're surfing the internet. Besides improved user interface and hardware acceleration, Internet Explorer 9 brings support for the latest standards such as HTML5, CSS3 and SVG2.

It seems that Microsoft is really working hard on the latest version of Internet Explorer, but will IE 9 have what it takes to compete with other major browsers on the market such as Firefox and Google Chrome? We're guessing that only time will tell and until the final version of Internet Explorer 9 is available make sure that you check out the new beta.
