Android Phones Take A Power Trip

From: The NY Times

You know the old techie joke, right? If you don’t like the Android phones on the market, just wait a minute.
There are dozens of Android phones, and newer, better ones appear every few months. Google subscribes to the Microsoft Windows scheme: write the software, and let other companies build the phones.
The result is a lot of choice, but also a lot of fragmentation. There is no one Android phone. Some models can be updated to new Android software, some can’t. A certain app might or might not run on your particular version.
That master plan differs quite a bit from the iPhone’s.
Apple designs “the whole widget,” as Steve Jobs used to say: both the software and the phone. The result is clean, reliable and consistent — but you’re limited to the features Apple wants to give you. For example, if you want a 4G phone (one that runs on the new, very fast Internet networks in big cities), you’re out of luck.
And a new iPhone, accompanied by a major software release, comes out only once a year, or less often. In any case, there’s a lot of news in Androidland. The three biggest players are Samsung, Motorola and HTC, and all three are offering beautiful marquee Android phones. All three are Verizon 4G phones.

The Best Android Phone of 2012

 

The year 2011 was all about “dual core”, becoming the standard for high-end smartphones. And we just witnessed what superphones like the Samsung Galaxy S II, DROID RAZR MAXX, and others are capable of. These phones are five times more powerful than anything released last year, and for this upcoming generation of devices, even more. So, what next? This year, chip-makers have come forth with quad core processors supporting mobile multitasking comparable to the performance of a desktop computer of a few years ago, powered by Tegra 3 SoC’s and TI’s OMAP equivalent. More cores equal more power and a faster smartphone; certainly they are likely to offer increased power savings and a performance increase in the range of 300-500%. And, they actually have power saving features embedded in them too. The players include HTC, Motorola, Sony, Samsung, LG, and Meizu. We will looking at the devices they are bringing to market so... STAY TUNED!!!!!

El año 2011 fue una cuestión de "doble núcleo", convirtiéndose en el estándar para los smartphones de gama alta. Y lo que acabamos de presenciar superphones como el Samsung Galaxy S II, Droid RAZR MAXX, y otros son capaces de hacer. Estos teléfonos son cinco veces más potente que cualquier otra cosa lanzada el año pasado, y por esta próxima generación de dispositivos, aún más. Así que, ¿qué sigue? Este año, los responsables de chips han salido con procesadores de núcleo cuádruple de apoyo móvil multitarea comparable con el desempeño de una computadora de escritorio de hace unos años, impulsado por Tegra 3 de SoC y equivalentes de TI OMAP. Más núcleos igual a más poder y más rápido smartphone, lo cierto es que es probable que ofrecen un mayor ahorro de energía y un aumento de rendimiento en el rango de 300-500%. Y, en realidad tienen funciones de ahorro de energía integrados en ellos. Los jugadores son HTC, Motorola, Sony, Samsung, LG y Meizu. Vamos a mirar los dispositivos que están lanzando al mercado así que ... Quédate con nosotros!!!

Atari embraces new era of gaming

(CNN) -- To adapt to the new era of gaming, Atari is returning to its roots.
The gaming pioneer -- which spearheaded arcade games and home video-game consoles -- is reinventing itself to adapt to the era of mobile and social games.
Atari has been synonymous with games and gaming since Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney founded it in 1972. The company's products, such as "Pong" and the Atari 2600, helped define the computer entertainment industry from the 1970s to the mid-1980s.
About five years ago, the company got away from developing its own games to focus on publishing and distribution. Atari CEO Jim Wilson said it was a complicated time for the company and the brand.
"(Atari) got bought by this retail distribution company that focused primarily on building non-Atari brands and distributing third-party titles," Wilson said. "The Atari name was then being used as a corporate name on a retail distribution company. That didn't make any sense to me."

Verizon’s ZTE V66 Tablet Pictured, with Dual-cores and 4G LTE

A few months ago the ZTE V66 passed through the FCC, before now heading over to the guys at Big Red. Now the tablet has popped up again on a trip to the Bluetooth SIG. We have a bit more information on the device now, but don’t get it confused with Sprint’s ZTE Optik which will be available next month, the ZTE V66 is packing a bit more power.
The ZTE V66 has a 7-inch, 1280×800 resolution display, powered by a 1.2GHz Dual-core processor, running Android 3.2 Honeycomb and of course full Verizon 4G LTE capability. Of course it does look a lot like any other typical Android tablet. We are hoping it also has a full gigabyte of RAM and possibly and Micro SD Card slot to expand the storage space.
Still no word on launch dates yet or pricing, but we are hoping it will keep the same price point as it’s cousin on Sprint, but it’s pretty unlikely given Verizon’s past. What do you think of this tablet? Worth the money? Hit up the comments with your thoughts.

 

Nearly hidden away at CES was a $149 Sony SmartWatch (due in March) that doubles as a Bluetooth command center for Android phones.
Featuring brushed chrome edges, the 1.3-inch OLED (65k color) touch screen features Bluetooth 3.0 and is compatible with Android phones from Sony, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and others. You may remember its predecessor, the Live View accessory that Sony Ericsson released in late 2010.
The dust and splash proof SmartWatch is essentially the same story. The updated version is sleeker in appearance (and about 0.3-inches thick), has an accelerometer, can vibrate, and will launch with a colorful swatch of wristband accessories. A black wristband and wristband adapter is included.
In my brief experience with the device, it was responsive and attractive. Hitting a button displays the time, which you can then tap to reach the other apps. An option for continuous time display would probably cause the battery life to suffer greatly.

You can do many things through the techie timepiece, including the basics such as read SMS, e-mail, or the weather. In addition, a pop-up caller id prompt appears during incoming calls (allowing you to accept or deny), or check social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. I liked how it displays user icons with the status updates. I am on the fence in regards to the matter if it would be rude to look a watch during a conversation compared to a smartphone, though.
