| Google Mobile Improved in Google Places, Query Builder, Search Previews, Tablet Results Posted: 14 Jun 2011 11:16 AM PDT What we’ve heard in the past about Google Places future is coming true now, with a simple addition to your Google homepage in your mobile browser and a simple set of icons, the first of which, for example, is Restaurants. Simply tap the icon and a Google map will appear with all local results. If you’ve not yet got these icons showing up, just hold tight, they’ll be rolling out to basically everyone in the world (at least those connected to Google Maps) today.
This and several other items were announced today at an event by the name of “Inside Search,” focusing primarily on desktop functionalities, but making sure to touch on mobile in the following: Google Maps and Google Places are not new, but have taken the forefront today with a few simple icons on the Google front page. This fun item was punctuated by the new map view revealed at the event that allows you the map on top of your screen and the results scrolled below.
This segued into talk of additions to mobile search including Query Builder, showing up as plus signs beside results showing up with Google Instant. These plus signs will allow you to take results and make them more specific with fewer and fewer clicks than ever before.
Search previews were shown, showing you what you’ll be looking at with a sort of big thumbnail view in a gallery for instant sight on decision.
Google in mobile has been improved for tablets, having now much better spacing between results, action taken for the giant amount of space that’d otherwise be blank, and in image search results which are now plugged into one another for a might prettier vision on the eyes.
Finally there’s been improvements to Google Googles as it works with Google Translate. Take a photo of a foreign food menu and get yourself some English grub!

| MobileGo v1 will get your contacts and more to your Android device with one click Posted: 14 Jun 2011 08:31 AM PDT If you are migrating to a new Android tablet or smartphone from an older device running Symbian users of devices from Nokia and other providers will be able to shoot their contacts and other phone data over to their new Android device using a new app. The new app will also allow the conversion of music and video files to a format that will play on the new Android device and lots more.
The app is called MobileGo version 1.0 from Wondershare and it allows the user to connect the Android device to a Windows PC via USB or WiFi. After connecting the contacts can be moved from a Symbian device over to the Android device with one click. The app will also transfer Outlook, Outlook Express, or vCard contacts to Android devices as well. The video and audio conversion allows a choice of resolution and quality settings to allow the user to fit as much content as they need onto their device. Contacts, SMS messages, and lots of other content can also be backed up with the app from Android to the PC. The free version of the app will backup and restore content from the Android device to the PC. The full version of the app costs $39.95 and allows the transfer of files from Symbian phones. )

| Apps suspended from Android Market after Plankton malicious code discovered Posted: 14 Jun 2011 08:07 AM PDT A security researcher has discovered a new malicious code on the Android Market that was circulating in some apps. The code is called Plankton and was discovered inside some apps related to Angry Birds. The malicious code ran as a background service making it hard to discover. The goal of the app appears to have been an attempt to give some unidentified user access to an Android device remotely.
NC State University professor of computer science Xuxian Jiang discovered the code. The malicious code in Plankton was different from other similar code in that it didn't use exploits on the device to get root access to the OS. Researcher Andrew Brandt said, “Instead, the remote commands simply give an unknown criminal access to what some may consider sensitive data on the phone, including the browser history, bookmarks, and homepage settings in the built-in Android browser.” Google has moved quickly and has already suspended several apps that were found to use the code. It’s not clear what the goal of the person or group that circulated the malware laced apps was at this point. Jiang found ten infected app on the Market. [via ITPro] )

| No Android Gingerbread for HTC Desire Posted: 14 Jun 2011 08:02 AM PDT Bad news if you were holding out for Android 2.3 Gingerbread on your HTC Desire. The company has announced that, despite its engineers working on the upgrade “for the past few months,” memory concerns will see it scrapped.
Previously, carriers had told Desire owners they could likely expect the Gingerbread update at the end of April or early May. Unfortunately, it seems HTC couldn’t get both Android 2.3 and Sense to play nicely together in what memory the Desire had to offer:
Unsurprisingly, the news isn’t going down well among Desire owners, many of whom are still inside their original agreement from when they first bought the handset. Of course, they could head over to xda-developers where there are several unofficial ROMs to be had, bringing the smartphone up to speed with Gingerbread. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in!] )

| Target Deals Include $20 Inspire 4G, $450 Iconia Tab A500, and $179 Optimus V Posted: 14 Jun 2011 07:57 AM PDT Now here’s a little story, I’ve got to tell, about three neat devices you know so well. It started way back in review history with Optimus, Iconia, and the Inspire 4G. They had a little sale at Target on all three, each and every one of them was nearly free. Price reduced, money strangle hold loose, and it’s time to appease your Android sweet tooth. A500, Optimus V, and HTC is the place to be – if you’ve got money then come on down, Target will trade you without even a frown.
Oh my goodness that was fresh. Now let’s talk about these deals you’re about to get. First let’s talk about the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V. This device you’ll be able to pick up for $179.99 where normally you’d be paying $200. This is a device that’s sitting on the high end of mid-range, a device that’s right along LG’s Optimus line also including such gems as the Optimus U, which we’ve also got a review of if you’d like to take a look. Meanwhile learn everything you need to know about the V by heading to our awesome Virgin Mobile review.
Next is the Acer Iconia Tab A500. This is a perfectly capable NVIDIA Tegra 2 1Ghz dual-core processor toting Android tablet with Android 3.0 Honeycomb for all your most up to date gaming and video watching and all that good stuff. With a price at $450 being amongst the least expensive on the market this very moment for an Android tablet of this caliber, you’ve got yourself a deal. Have a peek at our full review of the A500 and feel the coolness.
Finally we’ve got a device that by all means has been outdone by a couple of its close relatives, the HTC ThunderBolt and the HTC Sensation, but for $20 you basically can’t go wrong. This device will cost you $549.99 off-contract or normally $80 on, now for a total of $20 with a two-year contract on AT&T. Check out our full review of this device back a few months ago. Thanks go out to George Fenderson for the pics from his local Target store window!

| CallReminder app helps you remember what you needed to talk about Posted: 14 Jun 2011 07:46 AM PDT I know I am not the only person guilty of calling someone and having to leave a message about something you need to talk about only to have them return your call and have forgot what it was you wanted. It’s especially bad if the call is for business and I don't know the person and don't remember what the conversion was about or who the person on the phone works with.
Android users can get a cool app on the Android Market right now called CallReminder. The app sells for $2.01 and allows you to associate a reminder with a phone number. When the call from that number comes in the reminder will pop-up and you can see what you wanted to talk with them about. The developer says that this is the only app that shows the reminder for the duration of the call. That way you can work what you need to talk about into the conversation. “One of our employees came up with the idea and after receiving extremely positive feedback from everyone we decided to create the application. I ended up using it personally at least a couple of times a week – once you know about the app you always find things to remember” – Andrei Kovacs, Lead Entrepreneur and Managing Director at Finmouse.com.

| Strava app for bicyclists is free Posted: 14 Jun 2011 07:34 AM PDT I bet there are plenty of people that use Android smartphones that like to cycle seriously. The serious sort of cyclists might like to check on the speed, distance, and other stats on their latest ride to compare to previous workouts. The catch is some of the cycling apps for Android are expensive. A company called Strava has announced a new free cycling app for Android users.
The app is on the Android Market right now and uses the GPS receiver inside your smartphone. The app allows you to record your rides and plot the course on maps. The app will also keep track of home many miles you rife and will offer your average speed. If you ride with a group or have friends that ride the same route and use the Strava app, it will allow for some cool competitions too. The riders can compete for king of the mountain to see who gets the fastest time on the same course. The data from your ride can also be uploaded to the Strava Community as well. Other details the app tracks include your elevation and elapsed time. Some users of the Strava service have pointed out in comments that there are limits on the use of the app not mentioned on the press release or the Android Market app page. )

| Blake Griffin gets hands on the new Vizio tablet Posted: 14 Jun 2011 06:36 AM PDT If you follow the NBA, you might recognize the name Blake Griffin. Griffin is the NBA Rookie of the Year. Vizio has hooked up with Griffin, set his house up with a cool new Vizio 65-inch 3D TV, and brought the new Vizio tablet along for the ride that isn’t out yet. A guy that is apparently the Vizio rep then walks Griffin and the rest of us along in what the tablet can do when paired with a Vizio TV. The system is very interesting.
One of the basic features is that the tablet can control the Vizio home entertainment system as a remote control. I also like that the tablet has three speakers. Only two of the speakers are active at one time. The extra speaker allows you to get stereo sound in any orientation. When in portrait mode the top two speakers work and when in landscape mode only the side speakers work. The tablet will also allow you to flick photos from it to the TV. The Vizio guy doesn’t go into how it allows that interaction. The thing looks pretty slick, but we will hold judgment until we get hands on one for ourselves. Check out the YouTube video below to see the thing in action. The Vizio tablet went official back in January during CES. [via Engadget] )

| Swype 3.0 for Honeycomb BETA Review Posted: 13 Jun 2011 11:24 PM PDT We’ve got our hands on the brand new Swype 3.0 as it exists in beta, up for testing for Honeycomb devices. This beta is available to everyone who signs up for the program and you’re freely welcomed to try it out for yourself at your own risk through Swype’s own homepage. That said, let’s have a demonstration / review look at this newest edition of the system and decide whether it’s up to the task, the task being screens as big as your head!
This version of Swype supports multiple resolution sizes including qHD, HVGA, WVGA, QVGA, WQVGA, WSVGA, and FWVGA. You’ll be able to type in both landscape and portrait orientation and you’ve got a brand new option to turn the keyboard into a tiny version that you can drag anywhere, left to right, on the bottom of your display. Let’s have a look, shall we?
You’ve also got predictive tapping, a horizontal word suggestion bar, and lots of options for making your Swype library learn new words. Words like lyfe, schnizzle, and dinglefritz. Before we continue to decide whether this version of Swype is all the hype, let’s get to the hype! What you’re about to see are two very fabulous demo videos of the system in action, direct from the team at Swype for your pleasure: What we’ve experienced thus far in the beta version of this newest Swype is a slightly buggy but overall very promising future for the group and the app. While we’ve tried essentially every 3rd party and stock mobile keyboard in the book, Swype proves again here why they’re the people’s choice. Options on top of options, keyboards in several locations so that you might choose the best location for you, and a real understanding of how a keyboard on a tablet is used, for all sorts of different users. What the folks at Swype appear to be doing here is working with real users to find what keyboard they want to use the most instead of forcing a new user interface on the user each time they’ve picked up a new device.
You’ve got the same Swype you’ve been using for the past few months (and years, for some of you,) with improvements galore, making this transition to Honeycomb a seemingly flawless and natural transition for the team. We look very much forward to the full version when it’s ready.
NOTE: this version of Swype does indeed include some bugs as noted, one of these being a pretty constant force quit through the stock internet browser, but because we’ve experienced no such errors in later editions of earlier versions of Swype in the past, we’ve got to give them the benefit of the doubt that they’ll have these all sewn up by the time it’s release day.
Now behold the video piece of the review, in patented middle-of-the-night dark style with our excellently bright TFT LCD screen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, a device which we’ll be reviewing this week and reviewed a limited edition of back a few weeks ago. Oscar winner video! )

| Swype 3.0 Beta Released with Honeycomb Support, we go Hands-on Posted: 13 Jun 2011 09:46 PM PDT The guys at Swype have just released the latest version of the popular 3rd party keyboard for Android. Many new features are included with this latest beta (v3.0) and some of those include predictive tap as well as Honeycomb support for you tablet users. The tablet version can even be re-sized as well as moved to left, right or center screen for your convenience. We have all seen or used Swype for our phones so I took a few photos using it on my Honeycomb tablet just to show you all.
The new beta v3.0 for Honeycomb is what I gave a whirl, or Swype I should say. You can find more information as well as sign up for the beta here. They have introduced a new predictive tap feature where you can go from Swyping to typing regular and back quickly and easily and still have the amazing Swype predictive suggestions when typing instead of swyping. They have also improved the auto-correct as well as the pop-up menu for word suggestions, it no longer pops up on the screen to interrupt you, instead its listed horizontal just like the stock android does and it stays out of your way. You can read all about the new features in the link above, for now it is time to show you the Honeycomb version.
Everything was really simple, you send the invite email and download the Swype Installer and it does the rest for you from there. It even directs you to enable to Swype keyboard and change the input method. Makes the entire change quick and easy.
First off I am impressed by the new Honeycomb keyboard. It is large and looks great on the Tab’s 10″ display. Swyping was decently fast and smooth overall but I did feel that regular tap typing was a little slower than were used to, but then again this is still in beta. The keyboard takes more than half of the screen in landscape mode so you have plenty of room to type even for those with big hands. One tap of the settings and the keyboard becomes much smaller and you can easily move it from side to side. This is super convenient for those on Twitter or checking there Facebook page as the keyboard no longer takes up all that screen real estate.
Moving the keyboard is just as simple as moving a widget on Android, push and hold the sides and move it when your ready, it doesn’t get any easier than that but I’d like to be able to send it to all four corners just to have the option if the moment presents itself. Overall I really like it for Honeycomb and I can see myself using this as my day to day keyboard, that is for sure. Check out the videos from Swype and the rest of my photos in the gallery below.              [via Swype] )

| Slew of Problems Arise with HTC EVO 4G Android 2.3 Gingerbread Update Posted: 13 Jun 2011 08:54 PM PDT SO we’ve got a whole heap of steaming trouble brewing up with the newest update to the HTC EVO 4G it seems, and it smells like cookies! This update, known by its street name as the HTC Evo Maintenance Release 4.22.651.2, was supposed to fix problems like the random recipient of text messages problem, email attachments not being displayed in the stock mail client problem, and the battery discharge issue – plus, it was supposed to update you to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, of course. What it’s done is, in fact, update you to Android 2.3, but with this update is coming a whole lot more than you may have bargained for.
Users in our forums and comments sections on posts are pouring in their hearts and stomping their feet at the fact that this update has brought with it famine and pestilence along with the lovely new Gingerbread keyboard, amongst other things. A few of the common problems are listed here right alongside some of the oddities – let us know if your problem is on this list or if you’ve got something new to add since you upgraded to the newest version of Android: From True Vision South, LLC:
From Redebord:
From chris:
From Pierre Kerbage:
From Sethwestmoreland:
From MP_ATL:
Again keep on reporting to us or in the forums or over at the Google Mobile Help forum if you’ve got a trackable problem. If you have a problem and it only happens once, probably don’t report it. If you can prove you’ve got a problem and it’s happening all the time as a result of your update to Gingerbread, report in! )

| Virgin Mobile Says They Don’t Want Users Rooting Posted: 13 Jun 2011 02:39 PM PDT They lure us in with their promises of stock Android goodness, only to crush our souls. I, along with Android lovers the internet wide, applauded Virgin Mobile’s comments last week that it wanted to sell Android devices free from UI skins exclusively. Today, Virgin just lost all that love and then some. In a statement that may has well have been “Android hackers need not buy,” Virgin says they are whole-heartedly against rooting, and that it violates their terms of services.
Rooting, bootloaders, and Android end user freedom in general has been a hot topic. I for one think as the owners of devices, we have a right to root access if we want it. Virgin is saying that since its customers use their devices on their network, Virgin has the final say over what your phone can and can’t do.
While we know other carriers aren’t the biggest fans of rooting, none have been this outspoken. Clearly there is little Virgin can do to prevent you from locking once devs have found a way, but this attitude is a bit troubling. It’s really a shame that Virgin would so drastically alienate the hacking community after just getting on our good side by sticking up for stock Android. [via PCMag] )

| Minecraft Creators Interviewed by Sony Ericsson, Beginnings Revealed Posted: 13 Jun 2011 02:19 PM PDT SO you’re the type of person that likes to break down elements into other elements and build gigantic structures out of blocks for the fun of it, playing for hours on end in an environment that you create, yes? Perhaps you’re a lover of Minecraft, a game that’s massively popular as of late online and heaving with news as of late because its developers have announced their intent to bring the game fully to Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY? Perhaps then you’d also like to take a look at an interview with a couple of those developers, Notch and Carl from Mojang, as they interview with Sony Ericsson back a few days ago at E3 in a video just released!
The video you’re about to take a peek at is rather short, but it does have some rather valuable information and you will enjoy seeing a block-headed man trying to grab a taxi. If you don’t enjoy such things, look somewhere else, because blockading is what’s going on here. We’ve got word that this game is coming rather quickly to Xperia PLAY, and you can bet that we’ll be the first ones with a high quality review on the streets – until then, have a look here: Then head to our ever-increasing collection of reviews of Xperia PLAY specific games, a collection we intend on continuing to add to because of the uniqueness AND popularity of this fabulous Playstation supported device. Sony Ericsson, you’ve hit some nails on the head! Well played thus far! )

| Samsung Infuse 4G Open-Source Code Released for Developer Magic Posted: 13 Jun 2011 01:51 PM PDT For everyone hoping to get in on some biggest brightest screen on a handset in the entire world action, some developer action at that, your time is now, and the place is over at the SOSRC. Of course that’s also known as the Samsung Open Source Release Center for those of you not into the whole brevity thing. You can use this code to build the whole system from the ground up or you can use it to make some wacky ROMs or you can just fiddle with it all the livelong day.
This device’s source code can be found by heading over to the Samsung Open Source Resource Center and finding the download marked SGH-I997. From there you should go wild and make us all some magical mystical mysteries so we can watch Tron on this big screen even better. That said, how many of you actually own this device thus far? It’s known for two things: being the precursor to the USA edition of the Samsung Galaxy S II, and for being the very first AT&T Android device to allow 3rd party app installs. For more information on what this device is all about, head back to our full review and see the glory inside. Note that it’s got an MHL port and converter so you can output to HDMI, that it’s got the biggest display for an Android handset in the USA, and it’s the second thinnest Android device in the world, beaten only by a TINY fraction by the Samsung Galaxy S II. Also take a peek at the benchmark pummeling that occurred when the two were compared. )

| Chinese Site Gets Hands All Over Droid 3 Posted: 13 Jun 2011 01:22 PM PDT Following in what is becoming a time honored tradition of Moto’s Droid phones leaking like crazy, the Droid 3 found its way into the hands of XDA.cn recently to leak just about everything that was left to be leaked about this still unofficial phone. The Chinese reviewers do not appear to have a very high opinion of the phone, due to some lackluster specs and their rather low opinion of Motoblur. We’ve dived through the 8-page review courtesy of Google Translate and mined out all the juicy stuff for you.
First of all we finally have confirmation that the processor will be a TI OMAP4430. This is a dual core chip, but according to the reviewers, it fell short compared to the HTC Sensation with it’s dual-core Snapdragon. With 512 MB of RAM, a stat which isn’t shameful in of itself, but leaves the Droid 3 poised to become obsolete fast, the Droid 3 put up a Quadrant score of less than 2000. It appears that its less than cutting edge specs have left it a little strained for power, especially when it has to render that shiny 4″ qHD display.
Speaking of that display, it is indeed the same Pentile screen seen on the Atrix 4G. As noted in their review, a Pentile screen skimps out some on pixels, actually having only 2/3 of what its resolution indicates. Granted it doesn’t mean its going to look like it’s got that drastically lower of a resolution due to some optics trickery, but the reviewers point out it still feels a bit like false advertising. Running on that screen is the new Gingerbread Motoblur we’ve seen on the Droid X and X2 lately. While this is a very welcome and marked improvement, its still Motoblur, and until Motorola comes through on that bootloader promise, you’re stuck with it
While its chips may be a bit less impressive than we would like and the screen nothing special, the reviewers did confirm what we’ve all known and seen in the leaks. Motorola makes really pretty, high-quality phones, and the Droid 3 is no exception. While it was really the only positive thing said about the phone by our Chinese tour guides, it may be the most important. As the number of phones with slide out keyboards seems to be declining these days, especially at the higher end, the Droid 3 will likely be considered mostly by people who’s first rule is that they’re new phone has one.
While the Droid 3 was going to be hard pressed to overthrow the current kings, the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S II in regards to power, it will be a pretty sweet upgrade still for those of you who love hardware keyboards. Those of you who don’t NEED the keyboard, tell us what you think. Do these new specs turn you off, or are you still interested in the mighty D3?              [via XDA.cn] )

| Andy Pad Offers Cheaper Gingerbread Tablet to a Younger Generation Posted: 13 Jun 2011 12:31 PM PDT UK manufacturer Andy Pad has released some details about their namesake tablet, set to launch in less than 80 days by their site. At only £200 (around $325 at the moment), Andy Pad is attempting to fill a market gap its seen. From the sounds of the company’s website and a quote given to Newswire, Andy Pad believes the lower end tablet market has many devices which have sacrificed quality to sell for the price they do. The Andy Pad then, while it may not be as feature rich or powerful as tablets like the Xoom or Galaxy Tab 10.1, sounds like it will still be a quality device.
Little is available about the actual device other than that it will feature micro-usb, HDMI, and mini-SD card input, as seen in the photo from MoDaCo.com. It is also rumored to have a 7″ screen, and its website states that it will feature the “latest open source Android operating system,” which would be Gingerbread. Its a safe bet that other specs will be revealed leading up to or on its launch date, 3 days from now. Those specs likely won’t be anything mind-blowing, but Andy Pad seems to have quite a bit of faith in this little guy. Andy Pad has specifically stated that this tablet will be aimed at a younger generation, presumably young adults. Trying to cram 1080p out and 3D gaming into a tablet for that low of a price point sounds tricky, but Andy Pad says it can be done. The company is UK based, and doesn’t make any mention of when or if they will be selling the tablet internationally. In the end we’ll have to keep an eye on this one. Stay tuned here for more info as it comes in! )

| Samsung D600 to be Called Conquer 4G, Additional Details Posted: 13 Jun 2011 12:26 PM PDT Remember if you will back to the 26th of May when we first laid eyes and ears on the SPH-D600, a device that was set to be a mid-range phone rolling out with WiMAX capability, four physical Android buttons, and Android 2.3.3. Kind of odd for a mid-range phone at the moment, wouldn’t you say? Additionally, this phone appeared to be set to have a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 480 x 320 resolution touchscreen and a 3.2-megapixel main camera.
What else, you say, what else did it have? Well it had a front-facing camera, a more than likely low pricetag, and it looked really rather smooth and nice to be held! Check it out here and report back. Now we’ve got some additional details that include the name and a few features that point in exactly the opposite direction we were going before. This device is said to be called the Samsung Conquer 4G and will now be taking on a form that’s much closer to the HTC EVO Shift, with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, confirmation of Gingerbread, a 1GHz processor, WiMAX radio, front-facing camera, and HVGA touch display with a 3.1-megapixel camera on the back. This device, says PocketNow, will be coming out with a cost between $50 and $100. Sounds pretty mid-range-tastic! [via PocketNow] )

| Motorola Droid 2 Global Gets Gingerbread Update [Soak] This Week Posted: 13 Jun 2011 11:31 AM PDT The time has come for the Droid 2 Global to get its taste of the cookie we’ve all been enjoying on our Nexus S, Xperia PLAY, and every other hacked device under the sun for months now. It’s Gingerbread time, and all those signed up for the tester program are being sent the following information so that they might participate in the early dip into the coffee that is Gingerbread, Android 2.3. This update shall indeed bring you and the testers a plethora of improvements, giving you a phone experience like you’ve never experienced before.
Included in this update are multi-touch key-chording combos, a download manager app, new dock icons, updated calendar options, and more! This update goes by the name of Version.4.5.600.A956.Verizon.en.US and we’re hoping that everyone’s going to be getting it over the air very soon. That said, it might also be interesting to note that this update does not appear to be rolling out for regular owners of the Droid 2 at the same time. Will Droid 2 not be getting the update? Probably they’ll be getting the update, just not at the same moment. Meanwhile we’ll be sitting here with our brand new Motorola Droid X2s as well just waiting for that Android 2.3 update nicely, flipping around on Motoblur. For an extended look at the Droid X2, head back to our full review and let us know if you’d like to switch. Meanwhile, how are you liking the Global? Suiting your needs nicely? Have a look at the list of enhancements you’ll be grabbing with Android 2.3 on your Droid 2 Global in the meantime:   )
