HoneyComb not for smartphone

noreply@blogger.com (learningandroid) — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 10:34:00 +0000

Honeycomb Android operating system is not yet released, but the minimum specifications related news will support the processor to run it has spread widely. As quoted PULSAonline via PCMag, noted that the required CPU dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 or NVIDIA Tegra 2 to run the Honeycomb.

Instead, speculation also circulated which stated that the Honeycomb also requires the presence of a 7-inch screen, with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Consequently, with these requirements can be concluded that the Android Honeycomb estimated only suitable for tablet PCs, or 'not ready' for smartphones.

Indeed, the Google has not provided official confirmation of this rumor-related. Even so, information like this seems hardly limited to 'small talk'. The reason, all data related specification minimum requirements for Android Honeycomb comes from Bobby Cha, Managing Director Enspert - consumer electronics company in Korea, who co-developed the Android and Honeycomb Gingerbread.

Seeing the 'high' requirements for Android Honeycomb then current practically no Android-based device that is quite qualified to run this OS. No exception Nexus S premium smartphone or tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab, which is known to use the Arm Cortex-A8 processor.

In fact, LG is reportedly already Optimus armed 2X-based dual-core processors even if it wanted to upgrade the operating system to the Honeycomb going to still constrained, particularly in the screen sector, where the 'required' sail 7 inches.

Possibly, the devices can be directly qualified to adopt Android Honeycomb namely Motorola DROID Xoom tablet PC, which is rumored to have been ready to become the first tablet that will digelontorkan Honeycomb to the market. For certainty, we wait for later development.

As quoted from PCWorld, that it had tested the sixth Android browser, with some aspects of testing such as speed, navigation, and overall performance. Step by PCWorld Android browser testing done by two methods, namely 'the live loading pages' Internet and the method of 'saved or cached pages'.

In the first method (live loading pages), it turns out the winner Skyfire 2.0 browser. This browser can open web pages 'new', who have never accessed before, with the fastest time of 8 seconds. But, for the second method (saved or cached pages), found Opera Mini as a champion, with a record time of just 6.1 seconds to load pages.

As for the browser and the Android 2.1 Android 2.2, the first method of carrying a better browsers Android 2.2, with an average time of 11.3 seconds. While the results are in contrast to the second method, which measured 2.1 Android browser is superior, despite the time difference is very small.

At least that's the test results of six popular Android browser, which Skyfire 2.0 and Opera Mini best position. Sure, the difference is only a matter of a few seconds adrift. However, for Internet access for a second difference considered significant.

Despite rumors spread by the two staff people, namely Joe Hewitt and Matthew Papakipos associated with 'up the Phone' has been denied, but both are known to still work on the project proper selection of operating systems for mobile Facebook (FB) later.

As reported by Electronista, there are sources which claim that mobile phones will be filmed FB using Android as the operating system. Because Android is deemed more qualified for social networking. In addition, the discourse is also based on speculation that developed, relating the departure of Senior Product Manager Android, Erick Tseng to Facebook.

Indeed, the party continued to insist up and declare that it is not directly going to gush phone. But, this does not mean that social networking companies are not developing a new operating system, Facebook for example.

Not only that, also cited rumors that Facebook is trying CNET seek advice from operators and hardware manufacturers, who likely will serve as the exclusive operator in the U.S..

Then, whether up later will actually took the Android as an operating system is ideal for him? Or, is it actually trying to set up a phone with its own platform? Let's see its development.

This was conveyed by Aldo Liguori, Sony Ericsson UK told BusinessWeek that the company no longer plans to produce phones based on Symbian. Nevertheless, Liguori said that Sony Ericsson will remain a member of the Symbian Foundation - a nonprofit organization that addresses the compatibility between the manufactures to the Symbian OS adopters
This will result in only Nokia would walk alone in the path of the Symbian platform. Hopefully, the Finnish handset manufacturer through a new generation of Symbian ^ 3 and its successors could soon have the power to embrace and maintain the loyalty of his fans. Symbian reportedly slumped lately. But a report from Bloomberg says that the OS is still the best selling smartphone operating system in the world. For example, for mobile phones made by Nokia. All the newest Nokia smartphones, including the N8, use the Symbian OS ^ 3

And, for the owners of Sony Ericsson mobile phones based on Symbian, now your phone will be ready to be 'rare'.
There is no assurance of future Sony Ericsson mobile phone platform. However, according to Aldo Liguori, though not exclusively running the Android platform become one of the options

Android over 25% Internet Access

noreply@blogger.com (learningandroid) — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 11:17:00 +0000

LAS VEGAS - Android operating system continues to lunge for destabilize first OS that comes on the market. Each month, the report mentions that the Android market share continues to grow.
Not only a growing market share, for Android-based smartphone is now controlled 25 percent of mobile Internet traffic in the United States. Thus the results of market research conducted by the firm Quantcast.
Quoted by Tele Click, Tuesday (07/09/2010) despite a quarter of Internet traffic is controlled by besutan Google OS, but in fact still controlled the iPhone OS. Yes, Apple remains the dominant player with the OS for the iPhone accounting for 56 percent of U.S. Web traffic.
However, that figure declined from 68 percent since September 2009. While the share of Android has increased more than tripled from just 8 percent during the same period.
Research In Motion remained relatively flat at 9 percent, BlackBerry devices continue to dominate the smartphone market. But their efforts failed to capture a wider population of consumers.

Dell's Aero

noreply@blogger.com (learningandroid) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:59:00 +0000

Today's revelation of the Dell Aero is one of those sigh-inducing sorts of occasions. The Aero, officially announced this morning, is Dell's first stab at the smartphone market (by Dell's definitions, at least -- the company released the Streak earlier this month, but it insists the 5-inch call-making device is a tablet and not a phone). Billed as "one of the lightest Android smartphones in the U.S.," the Aero is now available for $99.99 with a two-year contract from AT&T.

So why the harsh words? It's not because of the Aero's unremarkable hardware -- the phone runs on a 624MHz processor, a significant step down from the 1GHz chip used in most top-notch Android offerings these days -- but rather because of the software Dell has chosen to load onto the device.

The Aero, you see, runs on Android 1.5 -- an early version of Google's mobile operating system that's 16 months out of date and a lifetime behind in functionality and performance. For a brand new phone to be shipping with a year-old version of Android is simply embarrassing, both to Dell and to the image of the Android brand.
Dell's Aero Smartphone: An Outdated Android

Dell Aero Android 1.5Android 1.5 -- or "Cupcake," as it's nicknamed -- debuted in April of 2009, just six months after Google's first Android phone entered the world. Android has made leaps and bounds in growth and development since then, with four significant upgrades to the core operating system.

We're not talking about small stuff here: Android's user interface has been revamped, countless features have been added in, and the overall system speed has been boosted numerous times in the releases since 1.5. Dell may have given the Aero some bells and whistles of its own -- a handwriting recognition utility, for example, and a "Flash Lite-enhanced" version of the Android browser -- but it can't make up for the months of innovation and improvement it's shutting out.

No matter how you look at it, a phone with Android 1.5 is going to be slower and significantly less advanced than a device with a recent version of the OS. And it's going to be crippled when it comes to third-party applications, too, as plenty of apps require Android 2.0 or higher to operate. Some, such as Google's new Voice Actions voice-command system, won't run on anything less than Android 2.2.

And while the high-end Android phones may cost closer to $200, price is no excuse: For $49.99, half the price of the Aero, you could get Verizon's LG Ally phone. It ships with Android 2.1 and is already confirmed to be in line for the Android 2.2 upgrade. Even within AT&T, known for its less-than-wholehearted embrace of Android, you could snag the HTC Aria with Android 2.1 for an extra 30 bucks.
Dell's Aero and the Bigger Android Picture

Dell Aero AndroidThe Aero actually isn't Dell's first Android-related offense. The Streak, Dell's 5-inch-gadget-that-makes-calls-but-isn't-a-phone, launched with Android 1.6 about a week and a half ago. That isn't much better.

This trend is precisely why I've argued that it's time for the baked-in Android UI to die. Companies like Dell (and also Sony Ericsson, with its recent Xperia 10 AT&T Android phone) spend so much time working on their modifications to the Android software that their devices are outdated by the time they debut. And even manufacturers that manage to do better with the release cycle tend to be extra slow on rolling out upgrades, thanks to the extensive software adjustments required with each release. The phone-makers may be trying to put their own marks on Android, but the manner in which they're going about it ultimately does a disservice to their users. (And yes, there is a better way.)

Trying to sell a new phone with Android 1.5 is like trying to sell a new PC with Windows Me. Even if you're selling it for slightly less than the top-of-the-line models down the aisle, it's ridiculous, it's silly -- and it's completely inexcusable.

Come on, Dell. You can do better than that.

Voice Actions for Android

noreply@blogger.com (learningandroid) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 06:59:00 +0000

An Android phone is a handheld computer, a music player, a notepad, a GPS navigation unit and more, all rolled into one sleek device that fits in your pocket. Today’s phones do so many things for us that sometimes we don’t even think about how we do them.

Even though our phones do all these new things, the most natural way of interacting with a phone remains what it always has been: speaking. And to that end, we’re pleased to introduce Voice Actions for Android. Voice Actions are a series of spoken commands that let you control your phone using your voice. Call businesses and contacts, send texts and email, listen to music, browse the web, and complete common tasks, all just by speaking into your phone.

To use Voice Actions, tap the microphone button on the Google search box on your home screen, or press down for a few seconds on the physical search button on your phone to activate the “Speak Now” screen. Let Mike LeBeau, the lead engineer for Voice Actions, show you in this video.

Speak any of these commands to perform a Voice Action on your phone:

send text to [contact] [message]
listen to [artist/song/album]
call [business]
call [contact]
send email to [contact] [message]
go to [website]
note to self [note]
navigate to [location/business name]
directions to [location/business name]
map of [location]

And of course, you can still conduct a Google search using your voice.
