Facebook Messenger for iPhone and Android was released a couple of days back which is a standalone app for messaging to your Facebook friends and mobile contacts.

The app was released for iPhone and Android first, but according to the Help pages on Facebook, Facebook Messenger will soon be making its way to BlackBerry devices as well.

This app is a direct competitor to BlackBerry Messenger and WhatsApp (both of them used on BlackBerry a lot), and now Facebook wants to dominate that area as well.

Messenger is available on iPhone and Android devices, and will soon be available on Blackberries. To get the app, search for “Facebook Messenger” in your phone’s app store.

No release period or dates have been given, but we believe the app is still in development and will be released soon. Even if you don’t have Facebook Messenger on BlackBerry, you can still reply to messages from Chat, Messages on Facebook website or text messages.

Via Facebook Help.

Facebook has just launched their Facebook Messenger for Mobile, a standalone messaging app for smartphones. According to Mashable, Facebook will be rolling out several new features to its Facebook Chat feature.

Messaging is now even faster and you don’t have to be online in Facebook Chat all the time just to chat with friends. You can stay offline in Facebook Chat and still chat with friends using the mobile app.

Facebook Messenger for Mobile also supports group conversations, to make plans on the go and you can also share photos. I’m guessing, Facebook would soon be releasing video chat features as well to the mobile apps.

One of the strongest points that Facebook has over Google Plus at the moment are the privacy settings and controls it offers its users.

Google+ pushes out notifications to your mobile devices through push notifications on Android and iPhone. Of course, they are very useful and eat a lot less battery than a service running in the background eating most of your batter.

Push Notifications for Google+ can get annoying sometimes, specially if you have a lot of activity going on in your account. How to disable push notifications? Read below.

How to Disable Push Notifications for Google Plus

You can disable Google+ push notifications by following the steps below:

• Go to Google+ settings (click the gear icon at top right).
• Under “Set delivery preferences”, look for the option for push notifications.
• Select the option “Don’t notify me”.

That’s it! Your settings will be instantly saved and push notifications will now stop.

Google Calendar has just rolled out the new interface and have given a facelift to their classic old look. Just like all the other Google apps and services getting an interface update, Calendar is no different. The concept behind the new look is the same: focus, elasticity, effortlessness.

The changes don’t stop here. According to Google, this is just the first in the series of changes they will be making in their products.

How to Turn Off New Look in Google Calendar

If you’re having problems with the new look in Google Calendar, and would like to go back to the old classic look, read the simple steps below.

In Google Calendar, click on the gear icon (top right corner) and choose “Use the classic look”. This will change your interface back to the old classic look of Google Calendar. Do the same if you want to turn on the new look again.

Here is a quick summary by Google of what has been changed in the new Google Calendar look.

• The Quick add function is now under the down arrow next to the Createbutton
• Calendars selected for viewing in your My calendars and Other calendars lists will no longer display with a colored background; instead, only the arrows next to them will be colored.
• The Print and Refresh buttons are now icons rather than text links. The Print button shows a printer, and the Refresh icon is a circular arrow.
• Visual indicator icons (alarm clock icon for events with reminders, person icon for events with guests, etc.) will only show when the event is hovered over.
• The My calendars and Other calendars lists on the left are now collapsed by default and may be expanded using the small gray arrow. Once expanded, they will remain expanded on refresh or open.
• The mini month view calendar under the Create button is collapsible using the small gray arrow.
• The Save and Discard buttons and Back to calendar link are only available at the top of the event page, not the bottom.

Skype for Android got an update today – a much-needed major update to the Android app. Skype Android app now brings you video-calling across (some) Android devices and a UI overhaul to the app. Skype video-calling was one of the most requested features on the app, and looks like we finally got it today.

Video-calling on Skype for Android is cross-platform. Android to iPhone to PCs to PSPs – everywhere! The new UI is not something to be happy about as it because it is very bloated and slow. You can hardly use it. It’s really nice, but only if the Skype Android team would make it even more better in speed.

You can download the Skype for Android update from Android Market.

Google allow Android users to backup their apps, settings, passwords om their Google account and it restores everything back to how it was when you do a full reset of your phone. However, it never backups up your call logs. To most of you, this may not seems of any importance, but for some, it does.

Android keeps a record of your last 500 calls. There is an app available on the Android Market to help backup and restore your call logs on another phone or after a full reset.

Call Logs Backup & Restore is a free app that lets you do exactly what it says to. It creates a backup of your call logs and you can easily restore them back later on the same phone or a new phone.

I tried this between my Google Nexus S and a Samsung Galaxy S II – it worked perfect! Simply, download the application and install it. Then in the app, hit tap the ‘Backup’ button to start the backup process. This process could never be this easy!

Google is trying to go head-to-head with Facebook with their latest project, Google+. Just like Facebook has the option to download or backup all your profile data on your computer, Google+ also allows you to quite Google+ anytime with the addition of downloading all your Google+ profile and Google account data with Google Takeout.

Google Takeout allows you to download a copy of your data stored within Google products.

This is useful when you plan to quite using Google services for some reason, but still want a backup of your data. Google Takeout creates an archive of your data within Google services and gives you a link to download that.

Google+ invites by email are currently not available to everyone except those who work at Google, but there is a small tip that could still make it possible for you to send invitations to your friends, family, co-workers etc.

One way to install apps on an Android phone is through the Android Market, but what if you have an APK file and want to install that manually? Android allows you to install third-party apps on your phone, but with a little option that you have to check in Settings.

This is a very basic Android tip, but after going through various Android forums and discussions boards, I found out that many new Android users have no idea of these small tips and trick which, according to us, are a must-do steps after a new or a full reset of an Android phone. I have decided to share basic tips/tricks as well. Now, coming back to the topic.

How to Install Third-Party Apps on Android Phone

Just follow the simple steps below to enable your Android phone to install third-party APK files manually.

• Go to Settings.
• Now go to Applications.
• Check “Unknown sources” box. Tao ‘OK’ at the warning.

That’s it! You should now be able to install third-party apps on your Android phone!

HTC Flyer – the first tablet from HTC. We got our hands on of these and I must say, it is one solid device. It is a 7-inch Android tablet that has a layer of HTC Sense on it and below that you find Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The size may not be perfect, but it is still better than what we found on the Dell Streak, a 5-inch display. We did a quick hands-on with the tablet and looked around what it has in store for us.

HTC Flyer is powered by the 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (no dual-core), 1GB RAM, 32GB storage, 5 megapixels camera, front-facing camera for video calls and of course, Android 2.3 with HTC Sense – that certainly takes the Android experience on tablets to a whole new level.

HTC has confirmed that at sometime in the future, HTC Flyer will be getting a Honeycomb upgrade, but no definite time period for now.

You can check out the hands-on photos below. A very quick one, but I promise to bring a full review, with tons of photos and videos very soon!

The first ‘nightly’ alpha build of Firefox 7.0 is now already available for download. It is regularly updated with new changes and updates as the Mozilla team works on it.

However, you will not be able to use your Firefox add0ns and extensions due to compatibility issues and you will have to hack your way through so that Firefox 7.0 doesn’t check for extension updates and disables them. We’ll do a step-by-step tutorial on that later on.

For now, head over to the Firefox Nightly builds website and download the latest Firefox 7.0a1.

We talked about the rapid fast development channel of Firefox, knows as Firefox Aurora – which now looks into action as the Firefox 5.0 is now already available for download after five weeks of testing on the Aurora channel and then another few weeks in five beta releases.

Looks like, soon after this we are about to see the Firefox 6 to hop on the Aurora channel and be ready for the final release soon. The first ‘nightly’ builds of Firefox 6 are already available for download since April.

We are still exploring for new features and changes in the all new Firefox 5.0. We’ll update as soon as we find something new and interesting in the latest release.

Samsung Galaxy S II is one of the most powerful Android phones available right now and is certainly the best one out there if you have been looking for a new Android-powered phone. There are different ways to root the Samsung Galaxy S II, but the easiest one is now available – S2 One-Click Root for the Samsung Galaxy S II.

All the credit for this amazing software goes to “lyriquidperfection” from XDA-Developers. You can now root Samsung Galaxy S II with just one-click, all thanks to S2 Root.

How to Root Samsung Galaxy S II with S2 Root

I don’t think this app needs any specific instructions, but we’ll still do a quick tutorial on it. Follow the steps below to root your Samsung Galaxy S II.

NOTE: Make sure, USB Debugging is enabled for you, you have all the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC and have an insecure kernel flashed on your phone. This root method will NOT work with the stock Samsung kernel.

Now connect your phone with the computer using a micro USB cable and click the “Root Device” button. Now sit back and watch your phone get rooted. Once completed , you will see a “Done” in the black screen and your phone will reboot in the end.

To confirm you have a rooted device, check for the Superuser app in your apps list.

Stephen Elop of Nokia just announced the first MeeGo phone – the Nokia N9 (also known as Lankku). We were promised a MeeGo phone this year, and we’re glad Stephen Elop kept his word about that and has announced the world’s first no-buttons phone!

Nokia N9 will have a 3.9-inch AMOLED screen (854 x 480 resolution), OMAP3630 1 Ghz processor, PowerVR SGX530 GPU, 16GB or 64GB onboard memory. Not just this, the Nokia N9 will also have a 8 megapixels camera (Nokia N8 had 12 megapixels!), and will be capable of true 720p video recording.

For the software side, MeeGo looks really good and promising. It has unified notifications for Facebook, Twitter and RSS feeds in the Events view, social networking integration in the Contacts list and features a homescreen simplified into three views: Events, Applications and Open Apps. Ovi Store is also included in MeeGo, but we seriously hope Nokia would soon allow you to run Android apps on the Nokia N9, just like BlackBerry did with its PlayBook tablet.

What Nokia N9 has to offer?

• Swipe guestures
• Unibody design
• No buttons
• Three homescreens
• 8 megapixels camera
• Fast web browser
• Nokia Maps
• Dolby Sound
• NFC-Enabled

And don’t forget, Angry Birds will be making it’s way on the Nokia N9 as well!

This phone will come in three colours: black, cyan, and magenta. We hope of getting a hands-on preview and later a full review of the device soon when it makes it to the market later this year!

Samsung Galaxy S II and iPhone 4 – two of the best smartphones in their own category. You can’t really compare both of these smartphones as they run on completely different OS, but when it comes to hardware, then yes, both of these devices are comparable.

I have played with both of them and when it comes to display screens, the difference is very much visible. I previously posted a similar photo of the display screens difference between the original Samsung Galaxy S vs iPhone 4.

Check out the photos below and click them to enlarge.

Samsung Galaxy S II sports a large 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, while on the other side, iPhone 4 has a Retina display (Super LCD). Last year, after the launch of the original Galaxy S (review), it was difficult to find out which display stands out better, but with the Samsung Galaxy S II now in the race, the winner is pretty much clear.

Have you tried both of these devices together? Which one do you think has a better display? Samsung Galaxy S II or iPhone 4?

Echofon announced today they are working on a Windows-only Twitter client, Echofon for Windows. Echofon started out initially with a Firefox addon which was available on all platforms, thank to the browser Mozilla Firefox.

Twitter doesn’t have any official client for Windows, like Twitter for Mac – but Echofon seems to bring that to the Windows platform with more features. Echofon users on Windows had to go through the Firefox extension to tweet, but that won’t be the case anymore, thanks to Echofon for Windows.

No details have been revealed other than a “coming soon” website for the Echofon for Windows. I’m sure it would have the usual features like multiple account support, image uploads, previews etc.

There are a number of Twitter clients available that allow you to upload photos directly to TwitPic and other Twitter photo-hosting services, but what if you don’t want to upload using a Twitter client?

Picture Tweeter does that job. It is a separate Android app that provides a very simple interface to upload photos to TwitPic and publish them on your Twitter profile with a tweet.

After installation, you need to enter your Twitter username and password in settings, and you’re all good to go. Just select an existing photo from your gallery, or take one right from within the app. Type in a tweet/caption with which you want it to be posted and upload it.

The app automatically resizes the photo in the standard TwitPic size, making it faster to upload photos if not connected to WiFi.

Dell Streak 5, the first phone-tablet from Dell made its way to me so I decided to write a quick review about the device. Streak 5 was an experiment by Dell to see how people respond to a tablet-cum-phone device.

It features a 5.0-inch gorilla glass display screen with a 1 GHz Scorpion processor under the hood, and features 512MB of RAM. Dell Streak is powered by Froyo (Android 2.2.2) and was actually the first ever device to feature the gorilla glass screen. We did some pretty interesting gorilla glass test. You can catch them in the videos after the jump.

Let’s first take a look at some technical specifications of the Dell Streak.

• Display: 5.0-inch capacitive display (480 x 800 pixels)
• Processor/GPU: 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon.
• Camera: 5 megapixels camera with autofocus, autofocus, dual LED flash, secondary camera for video calls
• Video: Video recording with flash at 720p.
• Memory: 512MB RAM, 16GB microSD card included, microSD slot upto 32GB
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, microUSB
• Other: Flash Player 10.3 support, A-GPS, 3.5 mm jack, accelerometer, Facebook/Twitter widgets, Dell Stage widgets.
• Battery: 1530 mAh Li-Ion
• OS: Android 2.2.2 with Dell Stage UI.

And now, the review!

Dell Streak Review

We did a quick review of the Dell Streak 5, the first Android tablet which was from Dell. Not a detailed review, but you get the point. Read below:

Dell Streak – Hardware Review

Dell Streak is almost an year old product, but the time it was first announced and later launched into the global market, it packed one of the most impressive hardware specs in an Android device. 1GHz Snapdragon processor with a dedicated GPU was good, but as later Android versions came out, they started to slow down the Streak.

The most appealing thing to me in the entire Dell Streak is the gorilla glass screen. It is solid hard with no worries of breaking so easily and no scratches! Dell Streak was the first dvice to feature the “gorilla glass” screen. See below for our gorilla glass test.

… And the more brutal one:

We also did a similar stress test of the gorilla glass in the Samsung Galaxy Tab (watch the video!).

The front panel of the Dell Streak consists of, on the right side, a front camera and sensors. On the left side, it has three 3 menu buttons: Home, Menu, Back.

On the top of the Dell Streak, you will find a 3.5mm audio jack, the volume controls, power button and the dedicated camera button. Bottom consists of just the USB port for data transfer and charging the Streak. Back side of the Dell Streak has a 5 megapixels camera, dual LED flash and a speaker.

Here are a few camera sample photos we took using the Dell Streak 5. Click on them to enlarge.

Dell Streak – Software Review

Dell Streak is powered by Android 2.2.2 which comes with custom modifications by Dell, called as Dell Stage. It features a modified launcher and some custom widgets specially for the Dell Streak.

The OS is a bit slow for the hardware that Dell Streak has, but it does the job. I tried the overall performance of the Dell Streak with other third-party launchers as well. LauncherPro gave the best performance.

During my playtime with the Dell Streak, for some weird reason, the Android Market never got updated to the new Market app. It was still the old market with the previous UI.

Overall, Dell Streak is a great device from it’s generation, but now, it’s just too slow to exist. And moreover, Dell can actually improve it by releasing Gingerbread update for the Streak, or how about Honeycomb?
