Android OS based Motorola Milestone 2 Unveiled


"Motorola has just taken the wraps off the Milestone 2, the European version of the Motorola Droid 2. As such, this smartphone is going to run Android OS 2.2 on a 1 GHz processor, and have a 3.7-inch Touchscreen and sliding keyboard.The most significant difference between the Milestone 2 and the Droid 2 is the inclusion of MotoBlur. Verizon passed on this custom user interface, while Motorola decided to include it on the European version. Of course, the upcoming version is going to support the GSM/HSPA networks used in Europe, and will also include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1. It will be able to act as a mobile hotspot. The Milestone 2 is going to be a slider with a 3.7-inch WVGA display and a landscape-oriented keyboard. It will have a 5 megapixel camera and, unlike its U.S. equivalent, the ability to record 720p HD video. Because this smartphone is going to run Google Android OS 2.2, it will have support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1, giving users access to websites that employ Flash. This operating system also brings a very capable web browser, email software, music and video player, and the the web browser supports Adobe Flash. The second Milestone model will include 8 GB of on-board storage as well as an 8 GB microSD/SDHC memory card. The Motorola Milestone 2 will launch in Europe at some point in the fourth quarter of this year. Pricing has not yet been announced." via brighthand.com

Samsung Galaxy TAB. First Look

"Samsung suffers from the lack of Super AMOLED screens for Wave and Galaxy S. The demand is so high that it will be matched by supply no sooner than by the summer of 2011, even taking into account the opening of a plant to manufacture screens in the final quarter of this year. It is quite a drag for Samsung, because all future flagships are expected to be equipped with Super AMOLED screens, which are not available in necessary quantities. That is why there is no Super AMOLED in the tablet. Characteristics of future flagships are up in the air. Will they get this screen and which model (Wave or Galaxy S) will be sacrificed? I hope this paragraph vividly explains why Samsung TAB features an ordinary TFT screen." Read more here:

Android Market has the largest share of free apps. Read why!

distimo3.png

Per the chart above, Google Android Market has the largest share of free applications available; 60%,
representing an increase of 3% since May 2010 when it was 57%. The share of free applications is smallest
on Windows Marketplace for Mobile (22%), followed by the Apple App Store for iPad (26%) and BlackBerry
App World (26%).

The large share of free applications in Google Android Market may be influenced by the fact that developers
from only 9 countries are currently able to distribute paid applications in Google Android Market
, and by
the fact that users from only 14 countries are able to download paid applications (out of the 46 countries
where Google Android Market is currently available). Additionally, users need to register for a Google
Checkout account in order to download paid applications in Google Android Market (except for the
locations where operator billing is available).

HTC Aria review: The little tenor

Close window

"The front has changed a bit – mostly the keys and the fresh addition of an optical trackpad. The signature screws on the back are here again – they serve both a decorative and a practical purpose, not to mention they make the HTC Aria look tough and rugged. Other than that, the HTC Aria promises the same solid user experience as the other HTC droids with Sense UI. It comes with a great software package out of the box (Office document viewer, social networking apps) so we don’t anticipate any problems on that score.The HTC Android genealogy is getting quite tangled up – the Legend is Hero’s successor and the Wildfire is a bite-sized Desire, with the HTC Aria sitting somewhere in-between those two.The devil’s in the details though. Its specs are very close to both the Wildfire and the Legend, so it’s going to be the minor differences that decide which one you get. So, pay attention as we open up the box and examine the hardware of the Aria." Read more here:

Dell Streak Review at brighthand!

" The centerpiece of the Dell Streak is its 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel (WVGA) capacitive touchscreen. This largedisplay allows you to get more done with this device than you would on a smaller smartphone. It makes web browsing better, emails easier to read, and is a blessing for watching video and reading ebooks. Colors are great, and thisscreen offers a wide range of viewing angles, so it's possible for two people to watch a movie together. Itisn't too bad a fingerprint magnet -- it's no worse than any other item you regularly rub your fingers on." Read more here:

Review of HTC Wildfire GSM UMTS Smartphone

"If you go to the website of HTC you will read that Wildfire as any other smartphone of the company is aimed at "communication and exchange of joys of life with friends". To some extent this is true as for any other modern phone. In reality HTC Wildfire is different from the rest of the company's lineup. Without beating around the bush we can say that Wildfire is a cheap HTC smartphone. PR departments ask not to use the word "cheap" and substitute it by "inexpensive", but in the case of HTC Wildfire we have a cheap smartphone. It is the most accessible solution among current Android models of the company (I know the price of uncertified HTC Hero and you can still buy Tattoo)." Read more here:

Review of Acer Liquid E GSM/UMTS Communicator

"The smartphone is offered in black and white. In this review you see the pictures of a white model. Liquid E is also likely to be sold in red, but so far we have no official information and if it does appear on shelves it will be added to the lineup a bit later. In terms of design, dimensions and location of components Liquid E does not differ from the original model. The handset has an interesting shape and resembles Acer neoTouch. Top and bottom are arched; sides have no acute angles with swift transition between them. I have always liked the design of Liquid. It is highly original and differs from businesslike models from HTC or glamorous offerings from Samsung, which is encouraging." Read more here:
