Google just cannot stop releasing great products this month. Today the Google News team is releasing a great new feature that will help you scan through older archived newspapers in style.

From the Google News team:

We’re excited to announce the launch of browse mode for newspapers in Archives! To do so, click “Browse this newspaper” to view other editions from that newspaper!

Google has somehow found, indexed, scanned, and made available endless newspaper material for you to browse (for free of course). Exactly which papers you can browse is not laid out in perfect terms, but if you are searching for an article and you see the “Browse This Newspaper” button, you are all set.

Don’t expect peace, love and harmony in the smartphone world any time soon. An end to the legal squabbling between Apple and Nokia could be as far as two years away.

A quick summary: first Nokia sued Apple over alleged patent violations, then Apple sued Nokia over a different set of patents. In short, it’s a big old mess of corporations accusing each other of stealing ideas.

Now Reuters reports that newly filed legal documents show that the court date to resolve the situation could be set for “mid-2012″. That means two more years of bitching and back-biting between the two companies.

The online Apple Store is currently closed. That usually means that new products are added to the store.

Yesterday rumors surfaced that today we could expect new MacBook Pro’s. The rumors were later announced to be fake and the world moved on. Now the store is down so there might be some basis to those rumors after all.

More logical would be that Apple is adding a large “pre-Order the iPad NOW” button to the store. The tablet will be available for pre-order today from 5:30am Pacific Time or 8:30am for those living on the east coast of the US.

I never understood the need for Apple to take the whole store down during updates. I can imagine Amazon adding hundreds of products every day. What would happen if they would would take the store down every time a new book would be published?

So maybe this whole “Apple Store is down” phenomena is just an invention by Apple to get us all excited and holding our breath. Another clever PR strategy? Well, it works for me.

UPDATED: and we are back. As expected you can now pre-order the iPad in the online store now. iPad pre-order limit: two per customer. If Saturday delivery is not available in your area, iPad will be delivered on April 5. Let us know if you did and which one you chose!

Having a hard time deciding which iPad to pre-order? Read “Which iPad Is Right For You?” on our Apple channel.

Want to pre-order the iPad from another part of the world? Read “How to Pre-order your iPad now, from anywhere in the world“.

As you know, we’ve been a fan of Wibiya’s for some time. We were fortunate to be one of the first to test the toolbar (found at the bottom of this site) and are happy to say we still remain faithful users.

Wibiya is currently a toolbar with a number of “applications” built specifically for it. Apps include recent posts, auto-translation, chat, sharing and more. Today, Wibiya is announcing a selection of new applications and an intriguing partnership with photo and video browsing tool Cooliris.

Leading audio-blogging startup audioBoo is one year old today and to celebrate, it is thanking loyal users by doubling the available recording time and announcing its plans for the iPad.

audioBoo initially launched its audio-blogging software as an iPhone app, followed by a similar app for Android users.  For those wanting to share their thoughts from any phone, the UK-based start-up introduced phoneBoo and, late in 2009, added browser-based recording.

Up to now, users of the service have been limited to a maximum of five minutes recording-time when creating their audioBoos.  However, from today, anyone who has recorded more than 20 audioBoos over the last twelve months will be allocated an extended recording duration of ten minutes.
