Google has a couple of interesting updates – Cloud Print, a service that lets you send documents from any device to your printer, and an improved weather display for search pages on mobile devices…
HTC HD2 turned quite capable device and its loyal users seem to have no intention of abandoning it any time soon. The latest achievement HD2 has accomplished is dual-booting Android and Windows Phone 7, both of them installed on the same memory card. Pretty intriguing, right?
Apple announced the AppStore has just passed the 10 billion download mark. Whatever you are – a fanboy, hater or just a neutral user – you must admit it’s quite an impressive achievement.
Yesterday I told you that Apple is testing the iPad multi-touch gestures on the iPhone 4 and we might see them despite the odds. Later Apple broke all the hopes of getting this feature in iOS 4.3 as the official statement was it was just a preview to gather some developers input.
Well, despite we all know we won’t see the gestures in iOS 4.3, Antoni Nygaard has successfully ported them from the iPad beta to the iPhone one. Here is a demo video, where you can see them on an iPhone 3GS. Read more »
The new iOS 4.3 beta 2 for iPad revealed a new homescreen preview image showing camera, FaceTime and Photo Booth icons. This can mean only one thing – the next-gen iPad is bound to have two cameras much like rumors have been suggesting so far.
This image was taken from the preview in the iPad wallpaper settings. You can clearly see the Camera icon (hence it’s should have a primary camera) and also the FaceTime and PhotoBooth icons (hence it should have a front-facing secondary camera). From this point on, I’d guess it highly unlikely that Apple announces a camera-less iPad 2.
A few iPhone 4 leaked screenshots show that Apple is testing the previously mentioned iPad multi-touch gestures on the latest generation iPhone as well. This is not necessary a proof they will be implemented in the final iOS 4.3 version, but it certainly give us hope.
The Nokia N8 has aspirations to be a portable video play for HD TVs with its 720p video output and true Dolby Digital sound over HDMI. But its video player lacked subtitle support, which limited its usability.
A new update is out and I took it for a quick spin… Read more »
Are you having problems with push email on the Nokia N8? Well, you’re not alone, that’s for sure. Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of activity about various aspects of the push email service offered by Nokia messaging on the Nokia N8.
Now here’s an intriguing Android screenshot. You notice that Sync Music option down there? Yep, I thought so too.
Obviously Google is hard at work on some sort of cloud-based music-syncing service. My guess is it’s primarily for Chrome OS but it will obviously find place on all Android handsets out there. Or at least the ones with the proper Android version, right?
Unfortunately, so far we don’t know which OS version would that be. Read more »
I know all the excitement about the Android names is so overrated, but still I’m going to pass you the news. The next Android version (whatever 2.x/3.x it turns out) won’t be called Ice Cream… but Ice Cream Sandwich. Yeah, for real.
The word comes directly from the Android chief Andy Rubin.
Google Goggles is a great tool for on-the-spot product research – just scan the barcode and Google will find reviews, prices and even check in-store availability for you. A new version of the Goggles app improves performance and lets you use print ads for quick searches too.
Oh, and Goggles 1.3 for Android has one more tick up its sleeve, something you probably didn’t expect – Sudoku mastery… Read more »
The Google Nexus S was first rooted less than a month ago and there are already some pretty serious mods for it. One dev has managed to run both MeeGo and Ubuntu and while they run just barely, it’s still quite a feat…
T-Mobile US has teamed up with LG to introduce yet another 4G tablet. The device is called G-Slate and runs an “optimized” version of Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
Not much info is available yet, not even photos of the thing. Probably this will change, as today LG are going to be hosting another event at CES. Read more »
As the name suggests, Nokia’s latest Big Screen app offers optimized multimedia interface for the biggest screen in your home over a HDMI connection. Of course, to use it, you need an HDMI-equipped Nokia smartphone such as the N8 and the E7.
Once the Nokia Big Screen is installed and you’ve hooked the HDMI cable to your phone and TV, the app starts automatically. Read more »
