It is like Google maps offer not Android phones and provide you with turn-by turn or voice guided navigation. Basic instructions, but you will need actively to your AP device to use Bing maps to interact to a target and prompts for turns.</p><p>If you have a T-Mobile or AT & T Windows Mobile 7 device then you will find that TeleNav GPS Navigator or AT & T Navigator preinstalled on you so in fact you can rotate through turning and voice guided navigation. There is a monthly fee of $9.99 for the service on both vehicles, but can free 30 days to try it out and that is what I use at the moment. <a href="http://www.telenav.com/products/tn/">TeleNav GPS Navigator</a> is a powerful connected GPS navigation solution that services such as real-time traffic alerts and weather for the site linked you on the go. It is not a film time support in the current version on AP.

There are options to the weather, my stuff (Favorites and last places), preferences and information <strong>Tools & tools</strong> display. In the preferences for areas settings in General, navigation and navigation audio select regions. General settings include language, units of length, map colors and volume. Navigation settings include route style cards style background lighting, traffic alert turns. In the section audio navigation you can choose how much audio, the you want to have played (none, statements only, and full audio).</p><p>If you <strong>cards of & traffic</strong>, which you will be taken to a map, which shows your current location tap. Icons at the bottom are provided for find me, show transport, search and new card. If you tap on new map a page shows up you are prompted to select an address. Tapping on search provides you with the same page that displayed the main display is when you tap on <strong>Search</strong>. Search options include the ability to the kind of speak a target or browse through different POI categories. I like such as gas price, Wi-Fi spots and parking and think that they are heavily used.</p><p>As multi-tasking-not really supported Windows Mobile 7 if, go do something else, then the application exit GPS Navigator finished and stop navigation instructions. TeleNav makes it easy to get back where you were with the quick option select drive and then continue. You can get back on track with a few taps.</p><p>Also, if a call comes in then the call interface appears atop the program and can take the call. When you launch continue to it exactly how work, before the call in came.</p><p>Now the TeleNav solution is the only option for turn-by turn voice guided GPS navigation on Windows Mobile 7. The software is pretty good and full featured and for many people, current and accurate navigation may need the monthly fee is worth.</p><img alt="" src="/mmiller53x53.jpg" width="60" height="44"><p>Matthew Miller began a pilot 1000 in 1997 and has since been writing news, reviews and opinion pieces.</p><br /><p><a href=" http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/telenav-provides-turn-by-turn-voice-guided-navigation-on-windows-phone-7/5093" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Sancho quijote de la panzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14260444873480936071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210697880485059065.post-26340759618810718922011-01-10T13:28:00.000-08:002011-01-10T13:28:00.171-08:00 <p><a href="C:\Program Files\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\My smart phone is so smart\Smartphone 1\snap20101201_130045.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5086" title="Two years later and we finally get an official Google Reader Android client" alt="" src="/snap20101201130045.png" width="228" height="380"></a>I bought the T-Mobile G1 over two years ago and was one of the first applications I expected on the device find about imagine my <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=132">surprise</a> than the reader was not a Google and to 3rd party developers left Google to come up with a solution.

Like many folks, I was very excited after seeing the <A href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=429">webOS announcement at CES 2009</A> and stood in line to buy my own Sprint Palm Pre <A href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=1393">later in the Summer of 2009</A>. I returned it after a couple of weeks because I just did not have great Sprint coverage in my area at the time (this has improved significantly over the last year). I missed the functionality of webOS and switched from a MyFi to a Palm Pre Plus on Verizon in early 2010. Sprint then released the EVO 4G and I gave my Pre Plus to my sister-in-law and dropped Verizon because the Pre Plus hardware was problematic, Sprint was much cheaper than Verizon, and the EVO 4G had everything I wanted in a single device.</P><P>I have to admit that I have been missing webOS and became even more interested in the platform after seeing the new features in webOS 2.0. Palm announced that the new Palm Pre 2 would coming to Verizon soon (likely early 2011), but I have no plans to leave Sprint and go back to Verizon. I was surprised by a Tweet last Thursday that a GSM SIM-unlocked version of the Palm Pre 2 was for sale at the HP store. I jumped over to the HP site on my Nokia N8 and ordered one for myself because I wanted to try out webOS 2.0 and also did not want to switch carriers. My Pre 2 arrived the next day and I have been using it with T-Mobile since then. Check out my <A href="http://www.zdnet.com/photos/hands-on-with-the-palm-pre-2/486025">image gallery</A> and thoughts below on why I am pleased with my new Pre 2, but think HP still has some work to do when it comes to the hardware.</P><P>Ever since the first webOS device, the packaging has been in a tilted compact box. The Pre 2 comes in a typical rectangular box with that same outside clear plastic sleeve. When you first open the lid you see the Pre 2 with the Quick Start Guide and underneath of it. In a lower compartment you will find a USB cable, USB A/C charger, and wired stereo headphones.</P><P>When I first looked at the Pre 2 in the box I thought it looked the same as the Pre Plus and for some reason I was expecting something more. I then took it out of the box and immediately saw there was flatness in the display and it had a MUCH more solid feel. The Pre 2 comes with a Touchstone compatible soft touch back and feels pretty much the same as the Pre Plus. If you like the compactness of the Pre Plus, then you will like the Pre 2.</P><P><OBJECT codeBase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000 width=480 height=385><PARAM NAME="_cx" VALUE="12700"><PARAM NAME="_cy" VALUE="10186"><PARAM NAME="FlashVars" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="Movie" VALUE="http://www.youtube.com/v/hKIGruMF34Q?fs=1&hl=en_US"><PARAM NAME="Src" VALUE="http://www.youtube.com/v/hKIGruMF34Q?fs=1&hl=en_US"><PARAM NAME="WMode" VALUE="Window"><PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="0"><PARAM NAME="Loop" VALUE="-1"><PARAM NAME="Quality" VALUE="High"><PARAM NAME="SAlign" VALUE="LT"><PARAM NAME="Menu" VALUE="-1"><PARAM NAME="Base" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always"><PARAM NAME="Scale" VALUE="NoScale"><PARAM NAME="DeviceFont" VALUE="0"><PARAM NAME="EmbedMovie" VALUE="0"><PARAM NAME="BGColor" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="SWRemote" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="MovieData" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="SeamlessTabbing" VALUE="1"><PARAM NAME="Profile" VALUE="0"><PARAM NAME="ProfileAddress" VALUE=""><PARAM NAME="ProfilePort" VALUE="0"><PARAM NAME="AllowNetworking" VALUE="all"><PARAM NAME="AllowFullScreen" VALUE="true"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hKIGruMF34Q?fs=1&hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></OBJECT></P><P>The <A href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/pre2/index.html">Palm Pre 2</A> looks very similar to the Palm Pre Plus and at first glance you might not notice many differences, but there are some key design features that do make the Pre 2 a better device. First, the display is now made of Gorilla Glass so the cheap plastic feel that bugged me on the Pre and Pre Plus is gone. I can tell immediately that the display is better with a nice smooth feel and a quality that I see on my Nokia N8 as well.</P><P>Other new improvements include a bump up to a 5 megapixel camera, from 3 megapixels, a bump up to a TI OMAP 1 GHz processor, from an underclocked 500 MHz, and the removal of the door from the microUSB port. You can check out more thoughts on these hardware improvements below in my walk around the hardware section.</P><P>Full specifications for the Palm Pre 2 include:</P>Quad-band GSM/EDGE:1900/1800/900/850 MHzDual-band UMTS/HSDPA: 850/1900 MHzHP webOS 2.11 GHz processor512 MB RAM16GB integrated Flash driveQWERTY keyboardIntegrated GPS/A-GPS receiver802.11 b/g WiFi with supportBluetooth 2.1 with A2DP support3.1 inch 320×480 pixels5 megapixel camera with flash light3.5 mm headset jack1150 mAh batteryDimensions: 3.96 x 2.35 x 0.67 inches and 5.1 ounces<P>As I mentioned earlier, the first thing you will notice is the flat Gorilla Glass display dominating the <STRONG>front</STRONG> of the Palm Pre 2. It is still only a 3.1 inch display though and honestly it does feel a bit cramped after using 3.5 inch to 4.3 inch displays for the past several months. I would love to see at least 3.5 inches on a webOS device, but the display is fairly bright and crisp. There is a large gesture area below the display and the slick glass panel does make it easier to slide left, right, and up to activate the gestures. There is no physical home button and it is located as a backlit slit in the gesture area. You will find openings on the bottom for the mic and the top for the phone headset.</P><P>The other part found on the front of the Pre 2 is the <STRONG>QWERTY</STRONG> keyboard that appears when you slide the display up. The keyboard appears to be the same as the one seen on the Pre Plus, but so far I haven’t seen the double and missing letter problem I had on my Pre Plus so hopefully they figured out the problem there. While the keyboard is tighter than a BlackBerry, I find it more functional in terms of having dedicated period, @, and comma keys. I like the keyboard and do find it useful for quick text entry.</P><P>The 3.5mm headset jack, ringer switch, and power button are found on the <STRONG>top</STRONG>. There is nothing on the <STRONG>bottom</STRONG>.</P><P>A microUSB port, without any cover, is found on the <STRONG>right</STRONG> side. Volume buttons are found on the <STRONG>left</STRONG> side.</P><P>The speaker, flash, and camera lens are all found on the upper part of the <STRONG>back</STRONG>. Under the back, the entire back comes off, you will find the battery and SIM card slots. The camera is an upgrade from 3 megapixels to 5, but there is still no auto-focus capability and I am not finding it to be that great of a camera experience. I guess I have been way too spoiled by the superb 12 megapixel camera on the Nokia N8 and am not sure any camera phone can make me happy again. In good lighting, such as outside, photos do look pretty good and the camera is extremely fast at taking consecutive photos.</P><P>The glass display does give the Pre 2 a higher quality feel and the small form factor does feel great in your hand. The soft touch material is nice to have for making the phone grippable and I never had the feeling it was going to slip from my hands.</P><P>There is some slight side-to-side movement of the display, commonly called the oreo effect, and I was seriously hoping that Palm had fixed this issue. Unfortunately, they did not and I am worried that the device may loosen up over time like the Pre Plus did.</P><P>While webOS 2 (currently 2.0.1 on the Pre 2) may not be a revolutionary update, there are several added and enhanced features that do make the operating system even better than it already was. I highly recommend you check out the detailed webOS 2 reviews on <A href="http://www.precentral.net/webos-20-review">PreCentral.net</A> and <A href="http://www.webosroundup.com/2010/11/webos-2-0-the-small-changes-youll-love-part-two/">webOSroundup</A>. As you can see in those articles, the main features and improvements include the following:</P>New Stacks multi-tasking interfaceJust Type search functionalityNew Launcher functionalityNew text editing and spelling correction functionalitySupport for Adobe Flash in the web browserBluetooth keyboard supportConfirm email delete optionMuch faster reboot timesImproved Palm App CatalogExhibition mode for Touchstone functionsFavorites for ContactsCustom searchesQuickoffice document viewer<P>The features I found most outstanding after the few days of using the Pre 2 are the new Launcher, Stacks, and Just Type search. The previous three displays in the launcher frustrated me quite a bit so I was very pleased to see the new launcher capability. You can now add launcher pages and reorder these launcher pages. I currently have launcher pages setup for Apps, Media, Reading, Games, Extras, and System. This makes finding and using apps a much more pleasant experience.</P><P>Multi-tasking rules on webOS and the new Stacks interface is quite slick and enjoyable to use. At first I could not figure out how to get these new Stacks working because I thought you could just control what appeared in Stacks. It turns out that Stacks show multiple cards for each specific type of application being used and thus you can open multiple browser pages and quickly navigate between them.</P><P>Just Type is not just a renamed version of the Universal Search, but actually provides you with some excellent functionality that I am sure will see you using this as much as I do. Just by simply entering text on your keyboard you have options for looking up your contact, finding the subject on Wikipedia, Twitter, and more while also being able to start up a Quick Action function such as SMS, Calendar Event, Facebook Status update, and much more.</P><P>I also LOVE the notifications on webOS and these continue to be as wonderful as before.</P><P>The Palm Pre 2 was available first in France through SFR. You can buy it now through the <A href="http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/MiddleFrame.asp?page=config&ProductLineId=510&FamilyId=3279&BaseId=35040">HP website</A> for $449.99 with no contract. It is supposed to also be coming to Verizon in the “coming months”.</P><P>I am personally a big fan of Palm and the ability to get a new Palm Pre 2 in a GSM variant as an unlocked device was worth the $450 to me. Keep in mind that it only works on EDGE with T-Mobile and even though it is unlocked it only works with 3G data on AT&T here in the US. I haven’t found this to be too much of an issue so far because I have had WiFi connectivity around me and EDGE is fine for basic email and Twitter posts.</P><P>webOS fans will likely enjoy the Pre 2, but even though there are some very nice hardware improvements the device still has a rather small display and keyboard and has a limited selection of applications when you compare it to the other major smartphone platforms. It is nice to pop the Pre 2 on an old Touchstone and the device feels sweet in your hand. webOS 2.0 will be coming to the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus devices in the near future so if you already own one of these devices the best choice may be to wait until the update is released for your device.</P><P>I plan to spend more time exploring webOS 2.0 so please send in any questions you might have about the device or operating system.</P><IMG alt="" src="/mmiller53x53.jpg" width=60 height=44><P>Matthew Miller started using a Pilot 1000 in 1997 and has been writing news, reviews, and opinion pieces ever since.</P><br /><p><a href=" http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/hands-on-with-the-palm-pre-2-webos-20-smartphone/5052" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Sancho quijote de la panzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14260444873480936071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210697880485059065.post-7627240821461275762011-01-09T06:23:00.000-08:002011-01-09T06:23:00.160-08:00 <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6602" title="Verizon-DROID-PRO" alt="Verizon DROID PRO Motorola DROID PRO available for pre order tomorrow from Verizon; in stores November 18" src="/Verizon-DROID-PRO.jpg" width="257" height="480"></p><p>Verizon has announced a date for the next DESPEJABAN PRO smartphone.

The rollout starts with USB dongle and in mid-2011 switches to the wireless handsets. Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile are now strong in 4 g war engaged while starts AT & T, roll out HSPA + still branding without using 4 g. AT & T works to roll out your 4 g LTE network in 2011. There are a lot of advertising and statements between the large carrier strike each other for speeds and network technologies to let's take a look and see, if we get past some name can get marketing and promotion of 4 g, to find out.</p><p><a href="http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/index.asp?category=information&rlink=rhome&lang=en">ITU-R</a> standard, none are this current LTE, HSPA +, or WiMAX network technologies really 4 g systems. It seems that LTE that has potential to be a 4 g technology, but only if it is faster than what we see here 10 times in USA from Verizon Wireless. 4 G systems to speed data exchange in the order of 100 Mbit/S and the areas where we have just begun to see this in Japan and parts of Europe to support. These are really more <a href="http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/imt-2000/Revised_JV/IntroducingIMT_item3.html">3.9 G technologies</a>, but not quite the ring to it as 4 g.</p><p>Granted may technologies US airlines fourth generation products and networks are much faster than their 3 g, but if standard you consider true 4 g, which these new network systems not even close to 4 g speeds and entire 4 g are label, is a marketing term that helps to distinguish between existing networks of the third generation. Are more like Super 3 g networks as 4 g networks, and this term is used by some scientists.</p><p>T-mobile HSPA + network supports Simultaneoous voice and data with data speed is measured in the 5-10 MB/S range (theoretical download speed is 21 Mbit / S). Upload speeds of HSPA + Mbit/S can be in the range from 5 to 7.</p><p>Verizon expects your average LTE data rates in real, loaded network environments to be 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) for downloads. I still have not been able to find all information on simultaneous voice and data backup with Verizon's LTE.</p><p>Sprint's WiMAX network has been shown to produce speeds in the 6-8 MB/S range with 2 to 4 Mbit / S upload speeds. When connected to WiMAX can also make and receive voice calls. WiMAX is rather a wide area WiFi network during HSPA + and LTE cellular longer field technologies.</p><p>I personally find better coverage with HSPA + T-Mobile, while I regularly the fastest speeds on my EVO 4 G with Sprint.</p><p>Although none of the U.S. wireless carrier technologies really a 4 G network, the speeds of these new networks are still much faster than the previous generation of 3 g networks. The speed differences between all three current institution promoting the 4 g are pretty low, but see some performance differences. Sprint's WiMAX technology leads rather poorly indoors and seems to have limited scope in larger urban areas. Verizon's LTE network based on its 700 MHz spectrum and should perform very well inside any support from the extensive Verizon network. T-mobile HSPA + is already widely deployed and supported on two current mobile phones and other USB dongles.</p><p>Sprint has an additional data fee of $10 on devices with 4 g radio, T-Mobile has no pricing differences for HSPA + and we still don't know what will Verizon's LTE pricing for handsets.</p><p>Overall they are all technologies, faster and I suppose, have others as 3 g for the consumer to distinguish a label for it that the network faster than before, so am I called 4 g well with it. I get tired, even though the constant gap has the fastest network 4 g, each other over who since each companies tend to avoid telling the whole truth and they all think that you are the best. The only way to a carrier in the United States subscribe to is to find that, where you live, work and play, because this differs by country and no single network the best for all is best works for you.</p><img alt="" src="/mmiller53x53.jpg" width="60" height="44"><p>Matthew Miller began a pilot 1000 in 1997 and has since been writing news, reviews and opinion pieces.</p><br /><p><a href=" http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/verizon-announces-4g-rollout-but-are-any-of-these-us-systems-really-4g/5080" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Sancho quijote de la panzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14260444873480936071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210697880485059065.post-85906131822630847242011-01-07T09:34:00.000-08:002011-01-07T09:34:00.307-08:00 <br><br><p><img class="size-full wp-image-79591 aligncenter" title="twidroyd" alt="" src="/twidroyd.jpg" width="255" height="468"></p><p>Social networks are all around us with Facebook becoming Álamo is that generated large film the Social Network.

Can one 8 GB for $50 of less, but without the ability to upgrade storage there's no way, I would recommend this model. BTW, I this Dell coupon code for 10% discount, $50 off found my 16 GB model anyway, knocked <strong>FMQLSTFF34SVV5</strong>. Keep in mind you this coupon by post after 2,000 used expires, but I was able to use it a few minutes ago.</p><p>I am particularly interested in testing the camera, QWERTY keyboard and 4.1 inch OLED display. I held the Dell site pro for a few minutes a few months ago and like the feeling of the hardware. I think it can be a bit unbalanced with Folie-Up display but I'll all know when it arrives. It should send the 9th December out so I can have it in hand of the 13th.</p><p>With new activation you will receive you can a 16 GB model for $149.99 and the 8 GB for $99.99, compared to $449.99 and $499.99 without new activation.

Humbug! Google Nexus S disappoints in December " alt="" src="/nexuss.jpg" width="299" height="234"></a>Next week is <a href="http://www.google.com/nexus/#">Google nexus S</a> available at best buy for $529.99 with no contract or $199 with a 2 year contract on T-Mobile stores. The only new features we on this device find you under the gingerbread (Android 2.3) are software and NFC technology. Get the small gingerbread update other devices and there are very few uses of NFC currently so why would the nexus-S want to buy?</p><p>I bought the <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=2844">Google nexus one</a> back in January at CES and at the time there were also a few new features on devices like the Motorola droid, including the 1 GHz Snapdragon processor and Android 2.1 OS. I was not to buy it before the start and then I anyway, because it really was the best Android device on T-Mobile. The nexus-S again launch with support for T-Mobile 3 G and I to <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=5113">MoTR Podcast # 225</a> said that I have a will not always be.</p><p>A big difference between now there and released the nexus one, primarily in the number and the specifications of the existing Android devices. There are several devices available now that have much more convincing specifications and functions as the nexus-S and really just an another Android device in a crowded market transforms it. Even if we consider only T-Mobile, we see that the MyTouch 4 g and T-Mobile G2 better devices as a whole as the nexus-S with support for T-Mobile HSPA + network, support for MicroSD cards and more. You will find both the Android 2.3 update likely NFC will be the only real particularity of the nexus S, while it is still your faster HSPA + network is supported.</p><p>I expected the Google nexus S, support for HSPA +, camera in the order of 8 megapixels with HD video recording, 32 GB on-board memory and MicroSD memory slot, next generation mobile processor and Bluetooth 3.0 to have. Currently my Nokia N8 has the best specifications on paper any cell phone radio, Bluetooth 3.0, FM radio, FM transmitter, 12 megapixel camera with HD video recording, USB on-the-go, HDMI output, and much more currently on the market with Penta-band 3 g. Information as is, what I a of a flagship Android device new Android OS kicking off expected.</p><p>The nexus-S looks to be a fine Android device and if you want on T-Mobile and a pure Google device then you should check it. The limited memory with a MicroSD card, mid level camera and lack of HSPA + kill it as a choice I would consider. With CES 2011 devices right around the corner and probably news by WebOS, 2.3 gadgets and more I don't know new Android really why would you buy the nexus S. You can link to multiple reviews the nexus to the <a href="http://androidandme.com/2010/12/news/nexus-s-review-and-unboxing-roundup/">Android and me website</a> S see what people have tested the nexus-S say in check.</p><img alt="" src="/mmiller53x53.jpg" width="60" height="44"><p>Matthew Miller began a pilot 1000 in 1997 and has since been writing news, reviews and opinion pieces.</p><br /><p><a href=" http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/bah-humbug-google-nexus-s-disappoints-in-december/5116" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Sancho quijote de la panzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14260444873480936071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210697880485059065.post-69567473823554625212010-12-30T09:55:00.000-08:002010-12-30T09:55:00.113-08:00 <p><a href="C:\Program Files\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\My smart phone is so smart\Smartphone 1\snap20101206_073952.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5101" title="Google brings ebooks to Android and iOS devices" alt="" src="/snap20101206073952.png" width="240" height="400"></a>You have probably figured out, I'm a big fan of eBook and my HTC EVO 4 G serves regularly as my eBook reader of choice, since it always with me.

This includes new things as promoted applications being displayed as CoverFlow-esque along with content ratings getting displayed. This is not all that they are changing, they also are diminishing the time available for a reimbursement of up to 24 hours for only 15 minutes beside the new dedicated categories for things like Live Wallpapers and widgets.</p><p>This is not all that is coming, but is coming and it is coming soon. We'll keep you posted and let you know as soon as we get wind that these updates are being pushed out.</p><p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/10/android-market-gets-a-badly-needed-facelift-but-web-purchasing-is-still-mia/" target="_blank">via</a> techcrunch</p>Popularity: 1% [<a title="What does this mean?" href="http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/popularity-contest">?</a>]<p><a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/android/" rel="tag">Android</a> Tags:, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/google/" rel="tag">Google</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/live-wallpaper/" rel="tag">Live Wallpaper</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/market/" rel="tag">market</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/platform/" rel="tag">platform</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/ratings/" rel="tag">ratings</a> <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/ui/" rel="tag">UI</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/update/" rel="tag">update</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/user-interface/" rel="tag">user interface</a>, <a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/tag/widgets/" rel="tag">widgets</a> </p>This site uses <a href="http://intensedebate.com/">IntenseDebate comments</a>, but they are not currently loaded because either your browser doesn't support JavaScript, or they don't load fast enough.<br /><p><a href="http://www.mobilewhack.com/android-market-user-interface-getting-updated-finally/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Sancho quijote de la panzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14260444873480936071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210697880485059065.post-49408092503512301582010-12-29T02:14:00.000-08:002010-12-29T02:14:00.272-08:00 <p><a href="C:\Program Files\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\My smart phone is so smart\Smartphone 1\htc-hd7-from-t-mobile-front.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4808" title="Windows Phone 7 after a month; HD7, WP7 OS, and top 10 apps" alt="" src="/htc-hd7-from-t-mobile-front.jpg" width="208" height="350"></a>It was just over a month since I started using best a T-Mobile HTC HD7 (first week with an <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/hands-on-with-the-t-mobile-htc-hd7-windows-phone-7-smartphone/4980">eval unit</a> and then my own) and I thought it would be helpful to further thoughts on the device to publish Windows Mobile 7 and my top 10 apps. Microsoft was very focused on developers and launched in the United States on 8 November with more than 1,000 apps on the market square. We see today, more than 2,815 store apps on the market square, which is something that never reaches the <a href="http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/Default.aspx">Windows Marketplace for Mobile</a> (seems, to approximately 1,400 apps).</p><p><a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=HTC-HD7&WT.ac=0988DIS04">T-Mobile HTC HD7</a> appears very similar to the hardware of the HTC HD2 and from conversations with local T-Mobile store representatives that this might cause people to procrastinate with a HD7 purchase. The HTC HD2 was a great piece of hardware problems with WM 6.5 that overcame hardware but after a few weeks and turned into a device that people often avoid the HD2.</p><p>The HD7 is a decent quality device but is not as good as it could be. My back is a bit offset side stand pieces, the volume rocker button fits rattling loose in the opening and a bit, it seems up to two stereo speakers on the front and below the display, but this is only a visual effect only a mono speaker on the device, there are only 16 GB available with no memory expansion capability, the camera <a href="about:blank">is the pink hue problem</a> and battery life is pretty bad.</p><p>The display looks good, although it older TFT LCD technology (in sunlight visible to) the HD7 feels great in the hand with a slim form factor and the internals and the operating system allowing be extremely snappy. It seems that HTC took an existing device and it just a bit, tweaked to phone Windows 7 instead of really focusing on creating an outstanding original Windows phone 7 device for T-Mobile runs. I was able to pick me up for $200 and for that price I am happy with the HD7.</p><p>This latest Microsoft operating system may not everything you need to leave, or want to iOS or persuade Android, but it's pretty amazing and a big surprise coming from Microsoft. I showed everyone to have it he impressed the menus, animations and touch sensitivity of the display of the volatility and responsiveness. I have tested versions of Windows Mobile 7 for months now and it has very stable and reliable. The only issue I have seen with the stability of the operating system is freezing the marketplace where you the device and then back again to clear on the access and use the marketplace.</p><p><strong>Delights of the AP7</strong>: I love the speed of the operating system, capability, pin items on the home screen, you can start the camera button when the device is locked and the Zune integration. Mail is 7 awesome on Windows phone, I find the e-Mail experience on Windows Mobile 7 IMHO better than what I, experienced on other mobile platforms have to be. Web browser is quite good and met my needs.</p><p><strong>Frustrations with AP7</strong>: I find the lack of true multitasking, a bit of a pain to be especially with Twitter, where the app when upgraded, they come back, after leave to do something else. I'd rather see better Twitter integration, much like Facebook, or support for multi-tasking applications. I find the lack of copy and paste, a weakness, we already know will be addressed in a future update. Other areas I would like to see addressed are custom ring tones, you can download podcasts without establishing a connection to a PC or Mac and turn - by - turn directions in Bing maps.</p><p>I doubt, are these features come 7 Windows phone, but I would like to see, a way to organize the list of apps on the start screen in a way, I want you display support for folders and subfolders.</p><p>It seems that many people will find Windows Mobile 7 acceptable any more of their devices at this time can wish for your needs during power users. I find myself my SIM between my HD7 and Nokia N8 bouncing and with a solid update from Microsoft, which I am sure I would be happy with Windows Mobile 7 as a daily driver.</p><p>What are you happy with and frustrated with Windows Mobile 7?</p><p>I have tracking was number and type of apps for Windows Mobile 7 devices available and for most it this month more apps in the UK and other countries, where Windows Mobile 7 first started. We see now, there are more apps in the United States is currently the <a href="http://www.bing.com/visualsearch?g=wp7&mkt=en-us#">Bing Visual Search Site</a> pointing 2,815 apps in the United States.</p><p>Looking through my HTC HD7 I see that I now have 45 apps and keep trying the search for new apps, have installed every few days. Some of the apps are from HTC, many are games (12), and I paid more for (6). While there are some very high-quality games and apps, I've seen a whole lot more 3rd party apps from independent developers rather than higher end apps from major software publishers. I'm actually quite happy with the current selection and there are only a few apps I am really looking forward to and my HD7 is missing. Microsoft and developers have raised my needs and wishes with the current crop of apps most of all.</p><p>Here are my current top 10 Windows phone 7 applications, in no particular order:</p><strong>Twitter</strong>: Twitter client <strong>Flowerz</strong>: addictive puzzle game to play on line <strong>Wonder Reade</strong> r: best Google Reader RSS app I found <strong>WeatherBug</strong>: good weather app with live tile <strong>poynt</strong>: good app for finding places, movie times and lowest gas prices <strong>Star Wars: battle for Hoth</strong>: good Tower Defense game for the Star Wars fan like me <strong>Slacker/Last.fm</strong>: decent alternative to integrated Zune Player <strong>need for speed undercover</strong>-streaming: enjoyable racing game <strong>Endomondo</strong>: used my jogging <strong>GoVoice</strong> track: Google voice app that I use primarily for my voice mail<p>And here are the apps I look for every few days and I hope to see soon on Windows Mobile 7:</p><p>What are your favorite apps and what apps are you look forward to AP7?</p><img alt="" src="/mmiller53x53.jpg" width="60" height="44"><p>Matthew Miller began a pilot 1000 in 1997 and has since been writing news, reviews and opinion pieces.</p><br /><p><a href=" http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/windows-phone-7-a-month-later-hd7-wp7-os-and-top-10-apps/5062" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Sancho quijote de la panzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14260444873480936071noreply@blogger.com0
