thread — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:42:49 +0000

Since Google acquired Android Inc a small company located in Palo Alto which created applications for mobile phones, speculations about Google getting in the mobile arena had started. Some people said, the giant Internet Search Company initially wanted to reinforce their online applications aiming mobiles like Google Maps and Google Calendar, although nothing was done about until Android late 2007.
Now the question is whether being open source software Android can be the future of mobile computing or not. Android has certainly the strong potential to shape the future of mobile computing. Releasing Android SDk is not just another phenomenon. Androidâ€™s strength stands on its openness. This open source software would extend the possibilities of mobile computing by making it available to the hardware manufacturers can use it and also can come with a completely customizable OS. This open source software also applies to the selection of mobile devices. This is an important area where many users could not be so far happy with Appleâ€™s iPhone and other smartphones.
This new Android phones are phones that operate on the Linux Kernal mobile operating System. It basically brings the desktop to the mobile phones and allows emailing, instant messaging, and web browsing all at the same time. Being open source software it supports multitasking such as running applications in the background while the user accesses the social network site. Meanwhile user can listen to music and write an email at the same time, while talking on the phone. The possibilities are only restricted by imagination on Android; not only that, Android OS also allows several applications to run at the same time, just like any Desktop OS.
The new Android Phones are being running with Google, Motorola, and HTC, LG, Dell and others breaking into the Smartphone market. The technology that it promises is ground breaking. The Android system acts like a robot, the user tells it what to do and it does it with supposed lightening speed.
Plus Android came up with the new version 2.0, the latest in the line of Android systems to hit the market. The capabilities and promises are coming true very quickly as 2.0.1 stands ready for release.
It is a new trend that everyone wants a system that is just like a PC but at the same time it will act like a phone with most of the capabilities. The technology has just begun and there is more, yet to come. And experts say, Android deserves to be the promising Operating System that would change the mobile world.
If again the question comes whether Android is the future of mobile computing, the ideal answer should be ‘it certainly could be’. Android’s open nature makes it possible for hardware developers to use it for whatever new devices they can imagine. Its SDK makes is easy for application developers to create the applications users want and need.
To make the android phone most useful one should go for the turnkey solutions over Android OS. Before outsourcing the Android Application you should choose a developer’s company who can deliver customized and scalable Applications with the use of top-rung technology.

Spot The Best Android App Developers

thread — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:49:40 +0000

It’s not tough to spot the best Android app developers. All you need to do is simply look at their applications. Even the brand-new Android owner can tell you which apps took talent and which were hastily done without regard to the end result. The best Android app developers release app after successful app, and all share similar characteristics. This holds true whether the app is aimed toward the gaming population or to the practical users who use their Android to make life easier.

The best Android app developers:

* Plan, plan, and plan some more. Before one single line of code is written, the best Android app developers can answer the following questions: Who is my audience? How will this app carve out a niche in the app market? Will this be a free or fee-based app? What is a fair charge if a fee will be collected? These answers have to be set in stone before a developer reaches the next step, which inevitably involves asking the question:

* What will the app involve? Graphics and typesets must be selected, but first, the best app developer must consider the entire app in question. He or she imagines it as a finished product and decides where any gaps pose problems to the user in terms of usability. Before he or she begins to actually design the app, these problems have been taken care of and the app begins to take shape.

* Great app developers are willing to admit if they have made a mistake with any part of this planning phase, and they quickly fix it and move on to the next step. If a certain protocol isn’t working, they immediately recognize the problem and fix it. Above all, the best developers keep their ego in check and realize that if the end user cannot understand how to work the app, it does not matter how intricately beautiful it is. The user will simply press erase, and that will be the end of that app.

My Ten Best Free Android Entertainment Apps

thread — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 05:49:17 +0000

I can’t stress this enough to my friends and people I talk to about Android apps in general- Most of the best Android apps are the free ones. This is true for nearly every category of apps and the Android entertainment apps are not one of the exceptions!

I’ve heard from a ton of people that they’re basically paralyzed because of the vastness of the Android Market. My advice to them and just about everyone else: when you have a half hour of free time, download a couple free Android apps and check them out. If you like ‘em, keep ‘em; if you don’t, well there’s plenty more that you’ll like. The trick is narrowing the tens of thousands of Android apps into chunks you can handle. In fact, that’s my goal with all these articles.

OK, I’m done with preaching for the day, haha. Here are the ten best free Android entertainment apps you can find on the Android Market:

TMZ
I will admit it; this Android app is one of my “guilty pleasures”. It probably shouldn’t be, but it is and I really can’t help it. This app will satisfy the voyageur in you while keeping up with the latest unimportant celebrity news. Hey, if you’re going to get a “celebrity news” app, why not get the best? And, IMO this is certainly the best!

AK-47
Pretty much what the name of this app says, this application allows you to fire your Android phone like an AK-47. This is one of those apps that you wouldn’t think is worth downloading; but, to tell you the truth, it’s surprisingly fun.

The Schwartz Unsheathed
If there’s a mock gun on my list why not have a “Schwartzsabre”? This app is a must for all you Star Wars fanatics. Well, it might be- I’m not that kind of a guy, haha. Anyways, I know a lot of “those people” and they all have this app and love it! So, if you’re into Star Wars, this is an Android app that you would enjoy.

TV Guide Mobile
This app allows you to have an up-to-date TV Guide stuffed in your phone for whenever you may need to check out the guide. It’s also a pretty good source of fun TV-related articles to read. If you’re a TV junky like most of us, this Android entertainment app should be on your phone… Yesterday!

Fandango Movies
IMO, this is one of the 5 best free Android entertainment apps. It’s Fandango! If you don’t know what it is, you should download it immediately and begin to be amazed at what this app can do! I love going to movies and I only need this single app to satisfy all of my movie needs- whatever they may be.

Steamy Window
This Android app is tied for the most useless app on this list. That doesn’t mean it isn’t fun though… Basically, you can choose the background photo, then, cover it with steam and you can wipe it off with your fingers. It reproduces the steamy shower or window door to perfection- complete with moving beads of water!

Funny Jokes
This is one of the best free Android apps available for finding awesome jokes. This app classifies all the jokes into 12 categories (including the very popular Chuck Norris Facts) so if you don’t want to see a particular type of joke, you never have to!

Zedge Ringtones & Wallpapers
This free Android entertainment app offers too many ringtones and wallpapers to count. There are over 16 million Zedge members currently, so they must have gotten something right! Your ringtones and wallpapers will never be dull or ordinary again thanks to this app.

FMyLife FML Official
This app is highly addictive! You’ve been warned. Whenever I’m having a bad day, I just take browse through the postings on this app and it all doesn’t seem so bad anymore. Basically, people from all over the world post about the not-so-great things that recently happened to them and other users “rate” their posts. You can literally waste away hours upon hours reading the posts and comments on this app- if you don’t have the time to waste, stay far away from this Android entertainment app!

Magic 8-Ball
This app brings the Magic 8-Ball that most of us remember asking questions to when we were kids back with a vengeance! There are a ton of added features that we could have only dreamed of as kids that make this app truly “one of the best”. If you need some help answering that tricky question in the future, you know where to turn to: the Magic 8-Ball!
