But nope.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It's just the Sony Software. Bummer. But ICS is coming soon according to Sony. I'll hope sooner than later. And I'm curios how the Sony UI will integrate. It's not bad at all, but differs a lot from the original vanilla stock Android UI.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
And yes, it's okay to call it Sony. They recently took Sony Ericsson completely and now branding with a new name. So Sony Ericsson is no longer, it's Sony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now I hope the Manga-char of &lt;a href="http://android.ryocentral.info/2012/01/android-manga-surfaces-in-japanese.html"&gt;Sony Eri-chan&lt;/a&gt; isn't gonna be renamed, too :).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ClfXNnhl_q8/Tz5IioVE9NI/AAAAAAAAbmo/WHE0Lm0_gok/s1600/pinterest-enid.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ClfXNnhl_q8/Tz5IioVE9NI/AAAAAAAAbmo/WHE0Lm0_gok/s400/pinterest-enid.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The friendly response really set up hopes for Android users. Community manager &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/enid/"&gt;Enid Hwang&lt;/a&gt; stated that they are working on a dedicated Android app. She wrote that there is a demand for it, and they will announce more about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can't wait for it to see that happen and use the service. The &lt;a href="http://m.pinterest.com/"&gt;mobile site&lt;/a&gt; is no real alternative to use Pinterest, but this sounds like it's not gonna take forever to have the app on your friendly Android.&lt;br /&gt;

You wanted it, now Google&amp;nbsp;released&amp;nbsp;a Beta of Google Chrome for Android in the Market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the Video:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="254" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lVjw7n_U37A" width="500"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don't confuse this with the internal browser on Android. And you might be shocked about the size. 16MB for the compressed version. Add some after installed to your device. That will keep some from using it, especially people with limited app-ram.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the new browser &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome"&gt;from the market&lt;/a&gt;. At the moment it's not available for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Froyo and possibly never will. It says Android 4.0 or higher. No luck for other phones.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rb2lFrhx1do/TyA7YbS4wqI/AAAAAAAAbEg/rUjOCPxyXws/s1600/Screenshot_2012-01-25-18-12-17.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rb2lFrhx1do/TyA7YbS4wqI/AAAAAAAAbEg/rUjOCPxyXws/s320/Screenshot_2012-01-25-18-12-17.png" width="192" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
For a while, I had both apps installed and functioning. Well kind of. I experienced problems and obscure crashes. I tracked down the problem and it looks like they possibly interfere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To make one thing clear. In both apps, I used upload on WIFI only. In Google+ this never worked correctly, with or without Auto Uploader. Sometimes the G+ app uploads photos with reduced resolution , and most of the time they get ignored. With the other app, it always works, and uploads your photos in the original resolution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After I made some photos before I returned to my WIFI later, I sometimes experienced a big slowdown of my phone (Nexus S / ICS 4.0.3 and 2.3.6) and often, the notification bar disappeared or has the Auto Uploader &amp;nbsp;message sitting in the bar forever. Even killing the app does not work. You'll have to reboot before it's gone.&lt;br /&gt;
And recently I found out when this happens. If Google+ starts instant upload and Auto Uploader starts to upload, too, something interferes badly. Not only the internet connection is getting slow of course, but the whole phone gets unresponsive and extremely slow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the problem is the bogus Google+ app. I don't know why instant upload never worked here. Looks like all Googlers uploading their photos instantly over 3G, too. Well, I'll guess they don't have to care about data caps :) Looks like they never really tried that feature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, I turned off instant upload on the G+ app and use the other. Like I said, it doesn't reduces the image resolution and is therefore a much better solution anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yes, it's &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aguilar.uploader"&gt;available on the market&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

The &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://web.mit.edu/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Massachusetts Institute of Technology"&gt;MIT&lt;/a&gt; has released the source code for AppInventor, and brought back the easy-to-use Android-app maker, back to life.&amp;nbsp;Google abandoned the project last year, and gave away the code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a software to make Android-apps quite quickly. For simple apps, this is a popular solution. However, as it looks right now, there is still some way to go. Only the source is available, and it's in an early stage. So don't expect magic just right now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But good to see, the project is not dead.&lt;/div&gt;

It's still available on Android.&lt;br /&gt;
Now there are messages flying around, saying that it won't be free anymore from January 28, 2012.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Rubbish, says Chip online. Those messages are fake. It still is distracting, although the official statement that WhatsApp will cost $9.99/year after the first free year, is already removed. And still, there are no answers, why the app was removed from the app-store. Apparently a new version is held by Apple and waiting to be released.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the open approach on the Android Market, there is no missing app there. But the&amp;nbsp;uncertainty&amp;nbsp;remains, whether it will be free forever, or going to cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One more reason to stay with the email/&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/talk/"&gt;GTalk&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Messaging_and_Presence_Protocol" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol"&gt;XMPP&lt;/a&gt; combination, which is more flexible and realtime on modern devices. With any attachment. I &lt;a href="http://www.ryocentral.info/2011/12/why-email-is-still-most-important-thing.html"&gt;wrote about this&lt;/a&gt; before.&lt;br /&gt;

Out of nowhere, they showed their new smart camera SC1630 running Android OS. It has a real 36-108mm lens, and 16 Megapixel resolution. A 3.2 inch screen and WiFi-capabilities makes this a real Android device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p5jSdbFhYYI/Tw1YKJ2zqPI/AAAAAAAAaaw/n3lJw6IscW0/s1600/polaroid_sc1630.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="231" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p5jSdbFhYYI/Tw1YKJ2zqPI/AAAAAAAAaaw/n3lJw6IscW0/s400/polaroid_sc1630.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Don't be mistaken, it's a real camera. Point and shoot style. There is a lot of&amp;nbsp;skepticism about if the camera will be better than other smartphones. Of course. Even with a mediocre sensor, the real 3x zoom lens will get better results than any smartphone without. Plus the 16MP sounds tempting enough.&lt;br /&gt;
Sometime in 2012 we will get our hands on it. Sounds like a thing, many have waited for.&lt;br /&gt;

Press release from Polaroid:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Polaroid Announces the SC1630 Smart Camera Powered by Android™&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
Fusing the Feature Set of a High-End Digital Camera with the Power of Android*, the Polaroid SC1630 Makes Snapping and Sharing High Definition Digital Images an Instant Experience&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaroid today announced that capturing and sharing high-end digital images is now seamless with the Polaroid SC1630, an Android powered smart camera. The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera features a high definition 16 megapixel camera with built in 3X optical zoom, touch screen display and Wi-Fi, making uploads to social networks as easy as the touch of a button. Merging the optics of a digital still and video camera with the limitless power of the Android platform, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera evolves the process of clicking, editing, uploading and tagging to an instant experience on one device.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
With the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera powered by Android you will no longer need to choose between your smart phone and your point and shoot camera because it offers the best of both worlds. Delivering everything expected from a digital camera but powered by Android, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera surprisingly packs all the features needed to conveniently capture, connect and instantly share beautiful HD digital images and video into one device, weighing a mere five ounces.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
An ultra-portable, two-in-one instant sharing powerhouse, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera leaves even the most powerful camera phones in the dust by combining an advanced imaging feature set with an unmatchable Android powered mobile platform:&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
Capture Like the Pros: Life's quickest moments are no longer at risk to becoming blurry images from a basic camera phone. Built on a 16 megapixel CCD senor, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera treats images to a 3X optical zoom – a feature not found in most mobile phones. Choose from 18 scene modes and then click and view crystal clear images – captured at 36mm or full 108mm magnification – on the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera's 3.2'' widescreen display.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
Enhance Your Moments With Smart Features: The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera powered by Android takes the work out of being behind the lens with automatic face and smile detection. Also, gone are the days when digital images that never connected with a USB cord went unorganized and forgotten. The Smart Album feature of the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera automatically organizes photos by date, location and people. Plus, geo-tagging features can add longitude and latitude coordinates to photos.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
Edit, Share and Save: Now there is no reason to leave the party – everything needed to edit, save and upload can be done anywhere right on the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera. On-board editing features include cropping, red-eye removal, resizing and color correction. Backed by the power of Android, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera uploads images to social networks with the touch of one button and can hold up to 32GB of memory via a microSD card.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
Instantly Connect to the World: The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera's Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and optional cellular data connections empower digital images to be shared from anywhere in a snap.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
Get Productive: Need to check-in on where friends are gathering, get directions or make the next move in your favorite game? Backed by the power of Android, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera supports Google's Android Market, making it truly like no other camera available today. Now you can snap, share and link up with more than 400,000 apps.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
"Polaroid has helped the world bring stories to life through photographs for the past 75 years," said Scott W. Hardy, President, Polaroid. "The newest member of the Polaroid family, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera unites the beauty of high-end digital images with powerful Android connectivity features. The result is an instant experience of click, capture and share that enables social networks to see and experience the moment as if they were there."&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
Designed to be just as fashionable as it is portable, the simple, clean lines and straight forward interface of the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera makes capturing and sharing effortless. Loaded with features that enable easy capture, connecting and sharing on the fly, the rechargeable battery can last all day on a full charge.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera powered by Android can be viewed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the Las Vegas Convention Center's Central Hall (booth #13613) from January 10 - 13, 2012.

Apple is under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
The newer try for an injunction over the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N has failed. The judge doesn't see the point of Apple, saying that it differs a lot, and can't be mistakenly held for an iPad2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now while Apple is trying to get back the market share of iOS, that they lose daily to &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://code.google.com/android/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Android"&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt;, it looks like it's time to get it back with innovations, and not with lawyers. More and more people starting to boycott Apple for their&amp;nbsp;behavior. Quad-core Android tablets are just around the corner, and god is still dead...&lt;br /&gt;

That's The Magic Number</title><content type="html">700.000 Android devices activated per day.&lt;br /&gt;
An impressive number. No updates or custom Roms included in this numbers. It's&amp;nbsp;activation&amp;nbsp;of new devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Andy Rubin stated this in a tweet and was confirmed. Wow. While the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_troll" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Patent troll"&gt;patent-trolls&lt;/a&gt; at Apple are still trying to put Android to the rest with lawyers, the customers showing clearly what they prefer, by buying!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take that, iOS fanboy-developers. I think it's time to rearrange priorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm curious for the numbers after the holiday season.&lt;br /&gt;
Go little green robot, go!&lt;br /&gt;

On Saturday I received the official Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 update for the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.google.com/nexus/#/index" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Nexus S"&gt;Nexus S&lt;/a&gt;. There was a lot of cheering, and some downturns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, it&amp;nbsp;happened. Googles reputation is getting a bit better again for me, and it was in my deadline for the update. So my next phone will be an Android again for sure.&lt;br /&gt;
After the updating, you literally have a new phone. Even the app drawer is different and includes widgets and an Icon for the Android Market. Much changed, not only within the UI, but with features and things that work new from the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
The calendar app, mail, clock, everything looks different. Roboto is everywhere, which makes the screen look very good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x5paoZSLGm0/Tu8Dbu-4hAI/AAAAAAAAZRg/H3t-Eph_cyY/s1600/Screenshot_2011-12-19-09-05-56.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x5paoZSLGm0/Tu8Dbu-4hAI/AAAAAAAAZRg/H3t-Eph_cyY/s320/Screenshot_2011-12-19-09-05-56.png" width="192" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First there is some consistency. You can swipe away unwanted things like notifications. It's fast even on the Nexus S with a single-core 1GHZ. Some apps are not. The Music app isn't fluent. That's for the Market, too. Waiting for the responses of your action, is not uncommon. That was also a problem in Gingerbread with the new versions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N0SH_EEQz1g/Tu8DgItHe8I/AAAAAAAAZRg/rRWmQsv83eI/s1600/Screenshot_2011-12-17-08-46-11.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N0SH_EEQz1g/Tu8DgItHe8I/AAAAAAAAZRg/rRWmQsv83eI/s320/Screenshot_2011-12-17-08-46-11.png" width="192" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real time voice recognition works a little slower than on the Galaxy Nexus. In English it's accurate enough for even longer texts. If I switch to German, the recognition is horrible. It almost never inserts a German word when speaking. This is an obvious bug.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can make Screenshots from anywhere within the phone. Even the power off-screen can be captured. This is really nice for people showing off their discoveries to friends or share it on Google+, Twitter or wherever they have apps for. It's saved in the folder "Screenshots" on the SDCard memory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VH1GXCZj9kw/Tu8Dc10u36I/AAAAAAAAZRg/BRn-0ZlRbtU/s1600/Screenshot_2011-12-19-00-01-13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VH1GXCZj9kw/Tu8Dc10u36I/AAAAAAAAZRg/BRn-0ZlRbtU/s320/Screenshot_2011-12-19-00-01-13.png" width="192" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only very few apps need an update, like Agenda Widget Plus. You need to uninstall and reinstall it, to get it work. I had no other app on my phone that didn't work right away. The mem usage is not negatively on terms of main memory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A big downturn is, there is no face unlock on the Nexus S with ICS. I know it's a gimmick, but one I would like to have. The feature is simply missing and you can't use it. Maybe there is a reason for Samsung to put a 5MP camera, instead of a more modern 8MP in the Galaxy Nexus. The same goes for the instant shot. Picture-taking is a little bit faster than with Gingerbread, but there is no "Zero shutter lag" feature. Not even near. Too bad, I hoped for that.&lt;br /&gt;
You can, however, make panorama shots and you have some real-time video effects, and a video editor in your app drawer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vLRTqI6vHgI/Tu8CX0ITK1I/AAAAAAAAZRg/ElCF9geTOf4/s1600/Screenshot_2011-12-19-09-07-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="192" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vLRTqI6vHgI/Tu8CX0ITK1I/AAAAAAAAZRg/ElCF9geTOf4/s320/Screenshot_2011-12-19-09-07-02.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So all in all, some of the promoted feature does not work with a Nexus S and the official ICS 4.0.3 release. That's a little sad, but for some it was expected. For some, it was not. Ice Cream Sandwich runs fine on the Nexus S, and the apps are compatible in almost any case. You have a new phone. Count that as negative or positive like you want. But if you're coming from Gingerbread, you have to relearn some stuff from beginning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm satisfied so far and now I have to keep an eye on the battery usage. I have the feeling that it consumes more battery. But that is possibly only, because I can't get my finger off the phone :).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Google &lt;a href="http://phandroid.com/2011/12/14/google-moves-closer-into-siri-territory-with-acquisition-of-clever-sense-alfred-app-now-available-for-android/"&gt;acquired Clever Sense&lt;/a&gt; recently, only after a few days earlier, it was confirmed that internally Google already worked on a competitor to &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.siri.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Siri"&gt;Siri&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all the news headline and hype about Siri, it was inevitable somehow, even with Voice Actions already running for over 1 year on Android devices, much earlier than the Apple bought Siri and came with their version of Voice Actions.&lt;br /&gt;

Andy Rubin said at the first official ICS presentation, that it's not the way to operate a phone. And I think he is right. I said before about Voice Actions, and after seeing Siri, that this is definitely not the way.&lt;br /&gt;
Can you imagine sitting in a doctor's waiting room and shouting commands? Or in public transport? Have luck to use it on the street with all the voices and car noises. Not to mention any place where many people are. like meetings, bar, malls...&lt;br /&gt;
What's about privacy concerns? Do you really want to dictate your personal email, while someone is sitting next to you?&lt;br /&gt;
The only place you really can get use out of it is in your car (if you're driving alone), or in your house. And there you probably have a computer waiting. I can understand the fascination. I had that with Google Voice Actions when it came out. But after a few days I realized, I was so much faster by just clicking the icons on the screen, than actually invoke the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Speech recognition"&gt;voice recognition&lt;/a&gt;, speak what I want, and waiting for the recognition.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Now having said that, it's not such a big deal that Google, once again, released this app for US only at the moment, without any obvious reason. Maybe they think the jerks outside the US can't even talk &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="English language"&gt;English&lt;/a&gt;. Maybe they are right. If you want to even call American language "English". So, if you speak English something and live within the boundaries of the USA, you could &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.thecleversense.alfred"&gt;download the app&lt;/a&gt; right now from the market and having fun to make using your phone even more ineffective :)&lt;br /&gt;

It seem less responsive than many thought, and despite it's essentially an eBook-reader expect full tablet superpowers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged" style="clear: both; float: none; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45609637@N00/6348546698" style="display: block; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Kindle Fire: Out of the Box" height="240" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6233/6348546698_5ea85f2551_m.jpg" style="border: none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="179" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Image by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45609637@N00/6348546698" target="_blank"&gt;Brian Sawyer&lt;/a&gt; via Flickr / CC BY-NC-SA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now Amazon seems to address this issues and promising an update coming soon for the Fire. That sound like a good idea. Users apparently buy it as an tablet rather than an ereader, which isn't surprising. &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.newyorktimes.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="New York Times"&gt;The New York Times&lt;/a&gt; writes that not only performance problems will be solved, but also glitches in the multitouch navigation. Further, an edit option for the list of recent documents or visits will be added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Analysts keeps on their high number prediction of selling devices and Amazon itself said it was it's most successful product release ever.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c5hRxInIsww/TuHoobeO14I/AAAAAAAAZIE/bmVpW0Tf1Ng/s1600/google_currents.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c5hRxInIsww/TuHoobeO14I/AAAAAAAAZIE/bmVpW0Tf1Ng/s1600/google_currents.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Google is doing a good job of upsetting users around the globe. You can argue on Google Music, because it's license-problems. You can argue with the sense of releasing some shopping-apps or the Google Books app. But seriously, a news reader?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What do you think people all over the world are reading on the web? The Bavarian &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lederhosen" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Lederhosen"&gt;Lederhosen&lt;/a&gt;-Magazine?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dear Google, yes, most of them can read English. And while it's annoying that Android apparently can't convince the Flipboard-developer to make that app available for anything else than the iOS, you do not even allow people in Europe to install your product?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm a bit angry about that. What's the point? Maybe it's a mistake. But this may not happen. It's ridiculous and a shame for the international Android-users. This local madness has to be addressed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you leave the users in other country as 2nd class, maybe the look for other companies, that treat them 1st class.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-related"&gt;&lt;h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0 0 0;"&gt;Related articles&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;ul class="zemanta-article-ul"&gt;&lt;li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/google-announces-currents-its-finger-friendly-flipboard-esque-news-reader" target="_blank"&gt;Google announces Currents, its finger-friendly, Flipboard-esque news reader&lt;/a&gt; (androidcentral.com)&lt;/li&gt;

Schmidt, Chairman of Google, says at the LeWeb Conference, that Android is ahead of the iPhone. Loic Le Meur is looking kind of distracted.&lt;br /&gt;
I'm glad that he gets this straight in his face, because I had more than one time a discussion with Loic, and the feeling he really believes that the Iphone is god. It isn't. God is dead, and little green robot took over some month ago. But I like Loic really much. Seesmic is awesome, and maybe this will get his priorities right, to maintain the Android-versions a little bit better than in the past. Android is NO.1, and should now be treated as such. Or there will no love from Android-users. That should be a warning for all developers. You want money? Treat you customers not 2nd class.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I don't even link to the ridiculously biased article at Engadget. One of the last bastion of the Apple devotees, after Techcrunch Apple Fanboys got ousted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;You wonder about the tone of this posting? Well I think many Apple-Fans need a reality-check. And if they know Apple's history, they should see a kind of bad omen here. We had this situation before. And it doesn't went too good for Apple.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-related"&gt;&lt;h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0 0 0;"&gt;Related articles&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;ul class="zemanta-article-ul"&gt;&lt;li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-57338276-264/googles-schmidt-android-leads-the-iphone/?part=rss&amp;amp;subj=crave" target="_blank"&gt;Google's Schmidt: Android leads the iPhone&lt;/a&gt; (news.cnet.com)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
According to the official Adobe blog, it's just around the corner. But, no need to get insane about that all over again for Android-Fans. This is the last mobile version of Flash. And that means&amp;nbsp;Flash&amp;nbsp;is in fact dead. Honestly, which developer can now just go on continuing to use Flash when the dead of it is just around the corner?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good to know nonetheless, we have more time to use the real Internet on our Androids, before there is a real solution and alternative. HTML5 is nice. But&amp;nbsp;there&amp;nbsp;is a lot of work to do from the W3C and the developers and their websites.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1264360447592168279-8427813783254579251?l=android.ryocentral.info' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGK-sMnz268/TtZL5q0kWfI/AAAAAAAAY3Y/8hMirDYGA4A/s1600/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-50GB-Box-net-550x383.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="500" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGK-sMnz268/TtZL5q0kWfI/AAAAAAAAY3Y/8hMirDYGA4A/s1600/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-50GB-Box-net-550x383.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Interesting and a nice gift from Sony and box.net.&lt;br /&gt;
And it shows that the cloud will be the topic at Sony, too. No doubt about that anyway, but they mean it. This is a big plus for Sony users, as they now can store music, docs and every kind of data in the cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seriously, for the rest, we now need GDrive finally. On mobile and desktop. What are you waiting for, Google? Christmas?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged" style="clear: both; float: none; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ChrisDiBonaJI1.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Chris DiBona" height="202" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/ChrisDiBonaJI1.jpg/300px-ChrisDiBonaJI1.jpg" style="border: none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;Image via &lt;a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ChrisDiBonaJI1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The FUD spreading security companies, that even construct prototypes to tell people they need to buy anti-virus-software, won't enjoy reading this one:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;"Yes, virus companies are playing on your fears to try to sell you bs protection software for Android, RIM and IOS. They are charlatans and scammers. IF you work for a company selling virus protection for android, rim or IOS you should be ashamed of yourself. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;He also claims that there is not a single phone OS, including iOS, that doesn't use open source software. And all major phone OS's are secure enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;"No major cell phone has a 'virus' problem in the traditional sense that windows and some mac machines have seen. There have been some little things, but they haven't gotten very far due to the user sandboxing models and the nature of the underlying kernels.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt; No Linux desktop has a real virus problem."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Finally someone speaks a clear message. Those companies want to sell their stuff, so they construct absurd scenarios to prove that you need their crapware. Open source software is the only way to have a secure system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Security by obscurity has never worked and never will be. People should have learned this after over 20 years of Windows.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is huge already. If it would be April 1st, but... it isn't.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Systems" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Adobe Systems"&gt;Adobe&lt;/a&gt; stops developing &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.crunchbase.com/product/adobe-flash" rel="crunchbase" target="_blank" title="Adobe Flash"&gt;Flash&lt;/a&gt; Player for mobile devices. Which means, that's it for newer versions of Android for the Flash capability.&lt;br /&gt;
Out of the sudden, Adobe cuts it's formerly praised influence on mobile devices. Why? Possibly because of the big restructuring inside Adobe. Lot's of changes internally and a cut of 750 employees.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/androidcentral/~3/eWBIO6RMiKI/story01.htm"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/androidcentral/~3/eWBIO6RMiKI/story01.htm"&gt;Adobe to stop new development on mobile Flash Player&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;
"What does this mean for those of us that already have Flash on our phones?  Not much.  Security patches and bug fixes will still be developed.  The real changes come when you consider new hardware architecture or new builds of Android.  These deceives won't be supported.  It's an interesting move, and we're curious to see how it plays out.&lt;br /&gt;
Source: &lt;a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/exclusive-adobe-ceases-development-on-mobile-browser-flash-refocuses-efforts-on-html5/19226?utm_source=twitterfeed&amp;amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ZDNetBlogs+%28ZDNet+All+Blogs%29"&gt;ZDNet&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;/blockquote&gt;I like the optimism and diplomatic tone of &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://androidcentral.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Android Central"&gt;Android Central&lt;/a&gt; here :). But seriously this is catastrophic. It's the Apocalypse for Adobe. It's a bad sign for all flash developers. Sure they say it will be there on desktop, but it's a signal that says, now stop using Flash and start with HTML5. And that will bring, not only Android, a disadvantage. Now we lose something that we had over other mobile systems. No more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Microsystems" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sun Microsystems"&gt;Java&lt;/a&gt; is unusable with Oracle's&amp;nbsp;behavior, the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Python (programming language)"&gt;Python&lt;/a&gt; fraction is sleeping and watching chances go by, and Flash is dead. So only HTML5 is left for mobile developing. And this is something where especially Android, has some real issues. We now need a integrated full HTML5 browser. Waiting for ICS 4.1.&lt;br /&gt;

Well it's interesting to know. I bought a lot of Android apps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently I purchased: &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=net.kairosoft.android.soccer_en"&gt;Pocket League Story&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fullfat.android.flickgolf&amp;amp;feature=search_result"&gt;Flick Golf&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fullfat.android.flicksoccer&amp;amp;feature=search_result"&gt;Flick Soccer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Indirectly I bought &lt;a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.roflharrison.agenda.plus"&gt;Agenda Widget Plus&lt;/a&gt; via GetJar.com. It's a fantastic widget to keep your&amp;nbsp;appointment&amp;nbsp;and tasks at a glance on your homescreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also would like to know, what apps you bought in the Android Market, or alternative app stores.&lt;br /&gt;

And in combination with the capacitive touchscreen, it's great. The stylus can be used perfectly for drawing, or precise cutouts, which is impssible to do with a finger on the display.&lt;br /&gt;
The normal usage of the phone is made by finger on the touchscreen like you're used to. And what a great display...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Galaxy with the stunning 5.3 inch HD AMOLED is a small tablet. Or still a phone? Samsung lets you decide.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I think it's outrageous that Google didn't confirm the update for the Nexus S on the stage at the event. I'm concerned and a little angry. Didn't they just watched the Apple keynote a few weeks before? That's how you do it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I promise if I don't get Ice Cream Sandwich on my Nexus S within 2 weeks after the Galaxy Nexus launches, I'm done with &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28operating_system%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Android (operating system)"&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a huge Android-fan, there is no better mobile OS imho, but this is the mark. I'm sick of hunting forever for a simple update. I know carrier, manufacturer etc. all are involved in the game. But that's why I bought an Nexus S. And it's offending, that this device is not mentioned for an update on stage, so people need to fear that they might not receive it, ever.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yes there are some rumors, and a Google employee that said, it's coming for the Nexus S, and possibly (!) for other devices. But that's not a real proper, official statement. I think we deserved it to hear this as a&amp;nbsp;guarantee&amp;nbsp;from the live event.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And I know, that a lot of people are having a bad time now seeing this great ICS and asking themselves if they will ever see it on a device they just bought a few month ago. Sad...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=7928ef8c-c075-4131-a04d-56894a5cf1f1" style="border: none; float: right;" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1264360447592168279-5502548109325621353?l=android.ryocentral.info' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
