Microsoft and Google have separately announced that they have hired planes to fly over certain parts of Sydney on Australia Day.

January 26th, a Google branded plane will be flying over the CBD, north shore and eastern suburbs of Sydney producing high-resolution imagery. They have setup a campaign webpage here.

Excerpt from the webpage:

“..Google Australia is celebrating Australia Day 2007 by photographing Sydney Harbour from the air, and we want to make sure as many of us as possible squeeze into the picture.

So when you see the Google branded plane flying overhead this January 26th, hoist a sign, arrange your family into a fun formation or just get a bunch of friends together to wave…”

Microsoft sponsored campaign named look up and smile has also commissioned a satellite and high tech planes to fly over Australia and take photos of Australia’s most celebrated day of the year.

Excerpt from the webpage:

“..You can find out precisely when the high tech planes will be above you so that you know when to look up and smile for the camera. The best way to stand out on the day is to do something big..”

Microsoft plans to publish the images on the Look Up and Smile website. Google’s on the other hand will use the imagery for updating Google’s mapping services with high quality images of the city.

FM radio
Songs cost 99 cents or unlimited subscription for $15 a month
Two million songs on offer
Wirelessly share songs with other Zune users
Registered guests can swap songs via a PC

In a survey of almost 1,000 high school students, who planned to buy an MP3 player in the next year, 76 percent planned to buy an iPod. The survey was conducted after Microsoft announced its plans for Zune and before the company began television, print and outdoor ads- Bloomberg

The unique selling point of the Zune is the ability to wirelessly connect to other Zune users to share songs - one song can be shared three times and will only be stored on another Zune for up to three days.

Microsoft on Thursday released a technology preview of an application it previewed in July, which is capable of taking hundreds of photographs and building a three-dimensional model in which users can “fly” through like a virtual world.

The program, called PhotoSynth, is described as “a hybrid of a slide show and a gaming experience that lets the viewer zoom in to see greater detail or zoom out for a more expansive view.”

, Microsoft is making Photosynth tech demo available after seven months of development. The preview is an early version of the application, so it may have bugs.

The preview is only available to Internet Explorer users and according to the development team, support for other browsers will be added soon.
