  • Say Goodbye to the Menu Button

    Tim Bray
    26 Jan 2012 | 2:10 pm
    [This post is by Scott Main, lead tech writer for developer.android.com. — Tim Bray]Before Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), all Android-powered devices included a dedicated Menu button. As a developer, you could use the Menu button to display whatever options were relevant to the user, often using the activity’s built-in options menu. Honeycomb removed the reliance on physical buttons, and introduced the ActionBar class as the standard solution to make actions from the user options immediately visible and quick to invoke. In order to provide the most intuitive and consistent…

You’ll want to show up with the SDK installed, and a couple of devices.If this describes you, drop by the ADL page and sign up.

    [This post is by Adam Powell, an Android Framework engineer who cares about style. —Tim Bray]Android 4.0 showcases the Holo theme family, further refined since its debut in Android 3.0. But as most developers know, a new system theme for some Android devices isn’t a new or uncommon event. For developers new system themes mean more design targets for their apps. Using system themes means developers can take advantage of a user’s existing expectations and it can save a lot of production time, but only if an app designer can reliably predict the results.

    Yes, we know. The iPhone is the best selling smartphone in history. Does that make it the best? Does it have the latest and greatest technological innovations inside? Sure, it’s a beautifully crafted device for people that love what technology can do, but perhaps don’t necessarily want it to be to technical. It’s difficult to sum up why it is so popular without being offensive or obtuse, but really, it boils down to marketing, ease of use, and these two things contribute to its overall appeal. That being said, it won’t remain like this forever. Apple has a knack for…

  • The New RIM CEO Is Worse than the Ones He Replaced. There, I Said It

    27 Jan 2012 | 10:40 pm
     I’ve had a very bad feeling about the change of CEO’s at RIM since day one. And the more I see the new CEO talk, the more I think RIM can only be worse off after this transition, even though the whole reason why they even did this was to change things for the better.The reason I initially thought it’s a bad change, was mainly because he seems to want the same thing the former leadership wanted, and not to rock the boat too much. But this vision is exactly why everyone from the outside thought RIM should get rid of the 2 CEO’s in the first place. The current…

So what does this mean for Sony and where does the smartphone division go from here?Sony realizes that smartphones are becoming more important than ever – perhaps more important than simple phones ever were.

  • Should the Galaxy S3 Wait for a Dual Core Cortex A15 CPU and a Mali T604 GPU?

    Lucian Armasu
    27 Jan 2012 | 7:21 pm
    Remember that just around the time when the Galaxy S 2 was being launched in US, there were rumors about the Galaxy S3 launching as soon Q1 2012? Some people were upset about it arriving so early, especially Americans who just got theirs, while others were wondering if that would even be possible.Technically, I think it’s possible for a true next-gen device to replace the previous version after only 9 months. But this can only be done by the best and the most efficient manufacturers in the industry right now – like Samsung, HTC and even Motorola (disregarding the Bionic here).

    Meet Thorstein Heins, the poor sap who just took over RIM. Thorstein is to be RIM’s saving grace, using his “hip” guy attitude he is supposed to turn RIM’s image around. However, if you take into account his recent interview with Crackberry, it’s obvious that like his predecessors he’s pretty much oblivious to the competition. Take this quote for example. Just take a look where the Android OEMs are. I leave this to you.

The V66 comes in at 7-inches and will carry Honeycomb 3.2 along with a handy custom lock screen among its noteworthy features. Furthermore, rumor has it this nice tablet could arrive around “February 2x”, which means it will possibly arrive right in the middle of Mobile World Congress.

    We know Samsung is pushing its Exynos line of processors in its devices. That’s a given. However, we all know Sammy has yet to really push the boundaries of its impressive chip. It’s exactly why the brand is hard at work on its Exynos 5250 series of chips. According to Phandroid, Sammy is looking to take the ARM Cortex-A15-based processor and push it into 2GHz territory. You read that correctly folks, it is looking to have its chips at a whopping 2GHz. Moreover, rumor has it that while the chip will be insanely fast, it will suck less power than that the earlier chipsets. As it…

    A major challenge in mobile application development is determining what changes need to be made to an app’s architecture to increase efficiency and performance. Unlike traditional web applications, mobile apps are more limited by bandwidth, latency, and battery life.

    Could this be what we have been waiting for? We had heard that Samsung may release the 2GHz Exynos 5250 processor sometime during Q2 of this year, but could it also be flaunted at this Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month? It makes perfect sense that it would, because it still follows the chip’s estimated public release date. A 2GHz chip could change everything, especially when it is said to nearly double the performance of the current ones out there. Even more, the graphical rendering could improve by up to 4X!. NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor is a powerhouse, but…

As you can see, ‘Optimus’ has now been removed. The new device should not only sport a couple better rear shooters, but other upgrades as well. The Optimus 3D only ran a 1GHz TI OMAP, whereas the new 3D Max is predicted to be clocked at 1.2GHz.

However, even though the next generation Korean handheld was originally rumored to make its official debut at the 2012 MWC, it seems that we might wait for a while before catching a glimpse of it after all. In an exclusive conversation with the guys at sammyhub.com, Mrs. Younghee Lee, one of Samsung’s executives stated that the Korean company is ‘’still reviewing several options to launch’’ the…

  • Deal of the day: Refurbished 16 GB HP TouchPad for $169.99, 32 GB model for $220

    27 Jan 2012 | 3:06 am
    If you failed to pick up an HP TouchPad a few months ago when it was available for 100 bucks (granted, only for a couple of hours), you can today take advantage of a special deal and get the 10-inch tablet for… well, for a lot more. For 169.99 dollars, to be more exact, which is a lot more than the ‘’yard sale’’ price from when HP discontinued the gadget, but is significantly less than what this gadget goes for on most online stores right now. Sure, the TouchPad you will get from Woot for $169.99 is a refurbished 16 GB model, but I personally am thinking to get one, as the…

  • ZTE V66 headed to Verizon, won’t blow your mind

    Justin Marden
    27 Jan 2012 | 8:10 pm
    ZTE is trying pretty hard to get into the U.S. market, and Verizon might get a piece of the pie. We recently saw the ZTE Optik, headed for Sprint, and now another ZTE tablet has leaked in a blurry shot: the ZTE V66. We're not completely sure, but the V66 could actually be that ZTE tablet we saw hanging around the FCC last year. It's packing a 7-inch 1280 x 800 display, Honeycomb, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, Verizon LTE capabilities, a 4,000 mAh battery, and 1GB of RAM. In the wake of all those Tegra 3 devices, the V66 isn't that impressive, but it might appeal to Verizon customers that are…

  • Optimus 3D successor could launch as LG 3D Max

    Justin Marden
    27 Jan 2012 | 7:38 pm
    LG's Optimus 3D got quite a bit of attention across the pond when it launched, as one of the first glasses-free 3D Android devices. Word on the street is that LG is planning a successor to the Optimus 3D, but there's a bit of confusion as to what they'll name it. LG will most likely not call the device the Optimus 3D 2, so that leaves only a handful of possible names. Perhaps the most popular is the LG 3D Max, or LG Optimus 3D Max. Our money is on this one, as it seems to be the most direct, and clearly advertises the 3D aspect of the device. Other rumors are floating around that it'll launch…

  • Toyota introduces fuel efficiency app for forklift fleet managers

    As technology is evolving, smart companies are taking advantage of the new tools available to make themselves more and more efficient. Toyota's Material Handling division has demonstrated a good example of this with their new app system (available on Android tablets and other devices), aimed at allowing forklift fleet managers to estimate fuel use and efficiency on a wide scale in their fleets. Armed with this data, they're then able to calculate fuel needed and make necessary changes to their fleet. While it's not flashy software or even software that would be widely used, it is a good…

Well, the good news is that Epson wants to help your dream become a reality, with its Moverio BT-100.

    Your smartphone, your choices One of the joys of Android is supposed to be customisation and yet few people even bother to change their wallpaper after unboxing their little darlings. One of the problems is that most of us have been scarred by our early live wallpaper experiences - the ones that were just a little too much for our?phones?to handle 24/7 back when the insides of mobiles weren't quite as chipped up as they are these days.Fortunately, things are different nowadays.

That's the message from Scott Main, lead tech writer for developer.android.com, who has posted an article advising Android developers to change their ways. "Honeycomb removed the reliance on physical buttons, and introduced the ActionBar class as the standard solution to make actions from the user options immediately visible and quick to invoke," he wrote.

To satisfy that need, we are working to extend a few of our Xbox experiences and titles to other platforms." Other platforms? We think we can probably rule out…

    Google shocked the tech world last year when they announced that they would acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion. Shareholders already approved the deal and many in the industry assume it will go through, but there are still a few hurdles left to clear before it becomes official. Motorola provided an update on the progress in yesterday’s earnings report. In order to be approved antitrust clearances, or waiting period expirations, are required by the U.S. Department of Justice, European Commission, Canada, China, Israel, Russia, Taiwan and Turkey. So far, clearances have only been…

The new update, dubbed The Leftover, picks right up where the original left off and adds four new levels in addition to a lot of other goodies. Shadowgun was first released as a Tegra Zone exclusive, but was later released as a separate download that supported more devices.

  • RIM CEO talks about Android, needs a reality check

    Edgar Cervantes
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:26 am
    RIM’s success has been declining since the iOS and Android operating systems started skyrocketing. Currently, Blackberry devices hold a dismal position in distribution charts, and Research in Motion is in desperate need of rescue. In an attempt to seek a newer approach, past co-CEO’s have gotten off their thrones, and allowed Thorsten Heins to take over the Canadian company. It seems like RIM will need a bit more than this man’s leadership to get out of that hole, though. One of Thorsten’s first duties as CEO included sitting down for an interview with Kevin Michaluk…

    Pictured above is the NOVO7, which is actually the world’s first Ice Cream Sandwich tablet. It’s a 7-inch device that features a 1GHz processor with 1080p HD video output — not top of the line, but certainly not assembled from the scrap heap. It’s not much with the rear camera, just 2 megapixels, and the front-facing one is just VGA. While there are some downsides, the upside is considerable. That is, the device is selling for just $100. That’s a pretty magic price point. Can it work for this device? The problem with most cheap Android tablets — the $200…

The software then monitors pretty much everything you do, and then reports back to the installing party. Clearly this causes some issues with users; no one wants someone spying on their actions. In the past few days carriers and manufacturers have spoken up regarding their relationships with Carrier IQ. The latest is Sprint, which admitted that it uses Carrier IQ.

One of those companies is surely the Taiwanese HTC. The company had some time ago adopted a policy of being as “fertile” as possible in the sense of generating new devices with exotic names.

    Internet radio usage has been on the rise with apps like Pandora and TuneIn Radio. The reason these apps have become so popular is because people like listening to music that relates to a specific song or genre. The major downfall with most of the applications out there is that the playlists are generated by an algorithm, rather than actual human beings. This method unfortunately lacks personalization and doesn’t quite feel as intimate as music should be. Wouldn’t it be much more attractive to have your playlists created by real music listeners?

We had heard that Samsung may release the 2GHz Exynos 5250 processor sometime during Q2 of this year, but could it also be flaunted at this Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month? It makes perfect sense that it would, because it still follows the chip’s estimated public release date. A 2GHz chip could change everything, especially when it is said to nearly double the performance of the current ones out there. Even more, the graphical rendering could improve by up to 4X!.

This is going to be a fairly significant change in how users habitually interact with their Android phone.

  • How to Listen to Radio on Android

    alexandru
    24 Jan 2012 | 11:11 am
    This is a pretty simple action to do since most people already know how to do this since they have a big button called RADIO and it says what to do in order to listen to it. Still, for all those of “lower technical prowess”, do enjoy this tutorial. The traditional method of listening to radio on your phone is to plug in the headphones and just click on the big button that says RADIO and choose the frequency you so desire. If you have a good connection to the internet and no headphones you can also listen on the Internet if you know the websites of the radio stations. If you…

        What I’m going to do for you through this article is help you save up quite a bit of cash. Why, you may ask ? Because most “Battery Saver” apps cost money, even though you have no real idea whether they actually work or not. Now to get you prepared, don’t expect me to offer you some kind of miraculous new technology that somehow imbues your battery with super powers and allows you to do whatever for all eternity. My method does exactly what the strictest of all Battery Savers do : it turns of EVERYTHING. I’ve probably lost you a minute back so let…

  • How to Connect a Bluetooth Headset to your Android Device

    23 Jan 2012 | 9:10 am
    Through this article I shall try to teach you how to “sync” a Bluetooth device to an Android device. It’s a pretty easy procedure and it doesn’t take to long to do it. It will actually take under 5 minutes for all the first timers. Basically, you will probably spend more time in reading this article than in actually doing the sync itself. So let us not waste any more time and go to the important things already. First of all, before going into any details, I strongly urge you to open the instructions manual that came with the headset since no two items are the same.

  • Galaxy S III makes an appearance on Samsung’s Support page

    Zack Nebbaki
    27 Jan 2012 | 10:54 pm
    With MWC approaching, Samsung Galaxy S III rumors have been all over the news but none of them offered anything concrete about when it will release. Some Samsung executive revealed during an earning call that his company is currently reviewing details about the launch of the GSIII without specifying when it will happen. If history repeats itself, the Galaxy S III will carry model number GT-I9300 as the previous two models had the GT-I91xx (Galaxy S II) and GT-I90xx (Galaxy S) numbers. So it looks like the Korean manufacturer may jump right into the I9300 model number which made an appearance…

  • Motorola prepping soak test for the Atrix 4G, software update is imminent

    The Motorola Atrix 4G was the first dual-core phone that landed on AT&T. Even with locked bootloader, it is still one of the nicest Android devices out there. According to our tipster (email above), Motorola is getting ready to release a new update to its soak testers. We don’t know much about what it will bring to the device but we suspect that it will address bugs and other things. Ice Cream Sandwich will probably not be a part of it but we could definitely see the OS bump at the end of Q1 this year. Remember that you have to be a part of the Motorola Feedback Network to be able…

  • Wi-Fi Xyboard Tablets now shipping from Motorola

    Jonathan Radande
    27 Jan 2012 | 10:30 am
    After releasing the 4G versions of its Xyboard tablets in the U.S, Motorola is finally shipping the Wi-Fi models of the tablets. The tablets quietly went up for pre-order on Motorola’s online store earlier this month and were supposed to start shipping on January 18, according to estimated shipping times on the website. The price on the Xyboard tablets range from $399.99 for the 16GB Xyboard 8.2 tablet all the way up to $599.99 for the 32GB Xyboard 10.1 tablet. I still think that Motorola should have released the Wi-Fi versions of these tablets first. When are they going to learn people…

    Samsung announced its Q4 and full year earnings report late last night, and things are looking very good for the South Korean company. During the last quarter of 2011, Samsung generated $42 billion in revenues which resulted in net profits of $4.7 billion. Over the course of the year, Samsung took home over $14.5 billion in profits on revenues of $147 billion.

With an app called TubeMate you can grab videos from YouTube and keep them saved locally for off-line viewing. The caveat is that TubeMate is not found in the Android Market. You’ve got several options for installing it though. First, you can find it on Amazon’s appstore.

    Any Android user loves quick and easy access to their most used apps, contacts and other shortcuts. The problem is that most users also like their homescreens to be filled with widgets and often there is little room for other shortcuts. Sure, you can have a handful of homescreens for more screen space but constant swiping back and forth can also take time and effort. Also, if you’re in another app and you want to access that shortcut quickly, you have to first hit the home button and then swipe to find the correct homescreen. SwipePad comes to the rescue!

    Aaron Pressman
    5 Jan 2012 | 11:50 am
    News from struggling book store chain Barnes & Noble today indicates they may split off their Nook ebook reader. CEO William Lynch, via Reuters, says: "We see substantial value in what we've built with our Nook business in only two years, and we believe it's the right time to investigate our options to unlock that value." This seems totally nuts for at least two reasons. First, the Nook is sucking money from B&N's more profitable ventures. If they spin it off, where does the capital come from? With Apple and Amazon as the main competition, doesn't the Nook need the largest possible…

    Harvard Business School's journal, the Harvard Business Review, has turned its web site into quite a useful and thought-provoking blogging center. They put up a list of their most popular posts of 2011 and they're almost all worth reading. The best challenge widely held assumptions in business or career development.

It's a time when new entrants are jumping into the field with bold, fresh ideas, standing on the shoulders of the blogging giants that came before, taking a second stab at reinventing the new media landscape. Look at what Bleacher Report has built in the long-neglected sports world, and what SB Nation is doing. Look at how the Verge (owned by SB Nation) is reinventing one of the oldest…

What would be really bad is if a “Delivered” text was never actually received. That happens too. All the time. I sent my dad an iMessage yesterday that he never received, even though my phone claimed that it had been delivered. He handed me his phone later that day to show that he never got it. I tried turning off wi-fi, data, killing the messages application, and restarting the phone, and was still unable to receive that text. That is unacceptable given the…

    28 Dec 2011 | 9:00 am
    Excellent overview of the benefits Apple has won in its smart phone patent war so far. While the experts cited were divided on how far Apple should take the fight, I'm in agreement with Chris Marlett, who co-founded an investment bank specializing in patents: "Apple has the patents, the money and the expertise to go to war," Marlett said. "I just don't see why Apple would seek détente, since they're the clear leader. Until they're hit with an injunction by Google or Samsung, they don't need to get serious about licensing." -San Francisco Chronicle, December 28, 2011 Posted from WordPress for…

Nigam Arora, a contributor to Forbes.com suggested that Apple will make billions On Google’s Android.  This is because Apple has a mountain of patents related to using movements and gestures on smart phone screens, which are very effective and may well set the standard for what users will accept.
