Ex Motorola Employee Its Actually Harder For Motorola To Work With Android Now
Now that Google owns Motorola most people assume Motorola will get preferential treatment from the Android team.
Leading up to the close of the Google-Motorola deal, Google steadfastly denied this would happen. It insisted it would keep Motorola removed from the Android team. This sounded like it was just talk to keep regulators and partners happy.
Turns out it might be more than just talk. Buried in the New York Times is this little nugget of information: "A Motorola Mobility executive who recently left the company and would speak only on the condition of anonymity because he was uncomfortable talking to the news media, said that if anything, it had become more difficult than before for Motorola to have impromptu collaboration with the Android team."
This makes some sense. Previously, Motorola could talk to Android and no one would raise a fuss since Motorola was just another company like any other. Now, if Motorola is talking to Android and it gets out, people would freak out.
This could just be part of the early-going between the two companies. Right now, Google is probably on edge about the new deal. It doesnt make sense to infuriate Samsung, its biggest partner by helping Motorola which is still a tiny player in the smartphone world... Over time, things could change.
And, on that front, the New York Times mentions that Motorola can hire Google software engineers. It also mentions Motorola might build its own special flavor of Android: "And, people familiar with the companies say, Google could decide to follow Apple’s lead and build a phone from silicon to software, perhaps by creating a separate operating system for Motorola that other phone makers cannot use. "
If Google were to do that, watch out. It would put Google in a very weird, very awkward position with its partners.

Has Android Killed BlackBerry
Android has a massive leading market share. An IDC report showed that Android handsets accounted for 68.1 percent of all smartphones shipped during the second quarter of 2012. In that same period BlackBerry accounted for 4.8 percent. Despite the steady slump in BlackBerry sales, the user base has been climbing slowly, because the overall smartphone market has been growing so much. However, analysts are now predicting a real decline in BlackBerry subscribers.
If we go back to 2009 BlackBerry had a 50 percent share of the smartphone market. Where did it go? Most of it went to Android. It now looks like BlackBerry will peak at around 80 million users and it remains to be seen whether the delayed BlackBerry 10 can do anything to arrest a steady decline or even a sudden free-fall. The new version of the BB platform is not going to launch until 2013 and catching up with Android and iOS functionality is not going to be enough for the beleaguered Canadian company.
RIM’s market cap is now sitting at around $3.3 billion. That makes it a relatively cheap acquisition, but who would buy? There’s little doubt that if BB 10 fails, RIM will need to drastically change its ideas about being a major smartphone player or possibly even sell the company. If 2013 is the year that we finally see the long predicted death of RIM you’ll be able to pan back from the corpse and see Android holding the smoking gun.
Perhaps RIM should have adopted Android and carved out a niche based on its distinctive handset design and enterprise know-how. Does anyone believe BB 10 can turn things around?

Updated Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt Benchmarks
Last month Cherry Mobile gave away samples of its Fusion Bolt, a quad core tablet with an HD display. Benchmarks posted by PinoyTech Blog put the AnTuTu benchmarks at 5665 points, which was disappointing to some. Comparing it with benchmarks from AnTuTus database, it still looked like a very good value for money proposition.
With Cherry Mobile set to release the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt for sale, the company has posted its own benchmark on its Facebook page showing a much higher 11932 points, which puts it within spitting distance from a Google Nexus 7, which does 12726 AnTuTu benchmark points.
A Php3,999 tablet with a 7-inch HD (800 x 1280) display which scored 5665 points on the AnTuTu benchmarks gets a buy recommendation from me. At 11932 points, getting one for Php3,999 would seem to be highway robbery, with the buyer being on the winning end.
It looks the time between the launch and the release in the market, Ainol, which manufactures the Cherry Mobile Fusion bolt, has been optimizing the firmware for the new Actions Semiconductor ATM7025 processor and Vivante GC1000+ graphics processing unit.
Too good to believe? Lets keep out fingers crossed.
Update: An independent test score the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt at 12042 points. Benchmark results vary a bit with each run, but this basically confirm Cherry Mobile post.

Androids Next Iteration code name Jelly Bean
From the beginning, Android users have been trying to guess whats in store for the OS, even down to what the next version will be called. While many have speculated on what Ice Cream Sandwichs successor will be named, This is my Next reported today that a "trusted source" revealed that the next version of Android will in fact be called Jelly Bean.
As usual we have no idea what version number this will be, but the source also divulged that "game-changing" features will be integrated into Jelly Bean, some of which were initially meant for Ice Cream Sandwich.
As it stands, we have very little to go on regarding Ice Cream Sandwich, so it definitely feels a bitearly to begin thinking about Jelly Bean - but with todays story, the speculation can officially begin.
Update: This Is My Next has just reported that another "well-regarded" source chimed in today to calm concerns over the game-changing features supposedly left out of Ice Cream Sandwich in favor of Jelly Bean. The source says first of all that Jelly Bean is simply "in the running" as the name of the next Android OS because there are honestly just a few sensible dessert names starting with J (personally Im rooting for Jawbreaker). The source also indicates that Ice Cream Sandwich will still be a major release, bringing several fundamental changes and improvements with it, and not just a slightly tweaked re-hash of Android 2.x.

Apple iPhone SMS flaw discovered Apples solution use iMessage instead
Last Friday, pod2gs discovered a flaw in the SMS application used in the Apple iPhone. The flaw allows a sender of a malicious address to make it appear that the message comes from a trusted source. This could allow "pirates could send a message that seems to come from the bank of the receiver asking for some private information, or inviting them to go to a dedicated website." This flaw is still present in the latest beta of the next version of iOS6 which will be released together with the next iPhone.
Apples response to the matter has been to effectively say use iMessage instead:
"Apple takes security very seriously. When using iMessage instead of SMS, addresses are verified which protects against these kinds of spoofing attacks. One of the limitations of SMS is that it allows messages to be sent with spoofed addresses to any phone, so we urge customers to be extremely careful if theyre directed to an unknown website or address over SMS." (Source: Engadget).
The response is a bit odd. Instead of promising a fix, Apple seems to be saying that you really cannot trust a SMS message received on an iPhone. I am not sure if Apple has no plans to fix the problem or simply wants to downplay the issue now, since there is no time to implement a fix before the release of the next iPhone. In any event, using iMessage is not a solution. Not everyone is on an iPhone, and those that are, are not all on unlimited data plans. And what about messages from other people, you cannot always reply by iMessage.
In any event, the nature of the flaw now being public, best advice is do not give complete trust that SMS messages received from your iPhone come from the source indicated in the message. Basically, do not send reply with any sensitive information via SMS and do not click website links in SMS messages you receive.
Who won at High Court patent battle Samsung vs Apple
Apple defeated Samsung at the high court. According to the judge, three technology patents it claimed had been infringed by its rival were invalid.
Samsung said it was disappointed by the court decision. Upon a thorough review of the judgment we will decide whether to file an appeal, a spokeswoman said.
The main issue was that The Korean giant sued Apple over patents related to the 3G mobile broadband standard. Its defeat is the latest result in a global barrage of claims and counterclaims between the two companies, which between them account for one in every two smartphone sold worldwide.
The three patents were “standards-essential” that mean the technology to make a 3G phone. But Samsung was obliged to license them. It was seeking a 2.4 per cent royalty on Apple iPhone sales.
All three patents were found invalid by The judge, Mr Justice Floyd. Because they were the same as earlier patents or described technology too “obvious” to enjoy legal protection. Last time Apple claiming Samsung had unlawfully copied the designs of the iPhone and iPad in its Galaxy range. It lost and was ordered to take out newspaper advertisements admitting it had not been ripped off.
Apple’s war on Android gets major blow in the form of 1994 “future tablet” video
It’s hard to believe that someone envisioned tablet PCs 18 years ago, but a dusty video clip from 1994 shows us that there were, in fact, technology visionaries before Steve Jobs (insert “ironic grin” here).
The video shows how newspaper company Knight Ridder saw the news of the future and, darn it, I must say that those guys were spot on with their assumptions. However, what they probably didn’t think their little video would do is seriously hurt Apple’s chances of winning the design patent war against Samsung and other Android tablet manufacturers, a war that is heading towards a conclusion these days.
How did something like this happen? Well, it’s pretty simple. Apple has been accusing Samsung numerous times over the past year or so of ripping off the iPad’s design with its Galaxy Tab slates.
The design in question is a rectangle with rounded corners and a big glass screen, which, for anyone with some sense, doesn’t sound like an awfully original concept. However, as today’s legal system is more complicated than some of us can understand, the legal heads at Apple really had a shot at proving they had invented the whole “rectangle with bla bla…” concept.
That is before this video surfaced, showing off and, hopefully definitively proving, that Apple didn’t, in fact, create a groundbreaking and innovative design concept with the iPad, but rather took something pretty simple and straightforward and refined it and gave it polish.
The 1994 Fiddler/Knight Ridder “tablet” shown in the video below created “the same basic visual impression” as Apple’s D’889 patent for the iPad, Judge Lucy Koh decided recently, basically squashing Apple’s last hope of squeezing some money from Samsung or other technology manufacturers.
Judge Koh’s Court found that “Samsung has raised a substantial question regarding the validity of the D’889 patent on obviousness grounds’’, so, while Apple will probably continue to look for “justice” in courtrooms in the US and all over the globe, Samsung has good chances to be allowed to continue selling and manufacturing Galaxy Tabs.
I’m not one to judge or cast a stone in any direction, but, in this particular case, I would like to offer a sincere and simple opinion, that probably most of you share. Apple, which, indeed, is one of the most innovative technology companies of the past decades, is certainly not honoring its name by continuing to fight pointless legal battle that they don’t even stand a chance to win.
Without having legal studies of any kind (watching every season of the original “Law and Order” doesn’t count, does it?), with some common sense and a bit of reason, I can safely say that hell will freeze before Apple will win any trial referring to one of their products’ designs. I mean, come on, guys, you’re not Picasso and you didn’t invent the straight line, so give up the whole patent folly and start thinking of how you can come up with better, prettier, and snappier devices!

Samsungs Thoughts On The Verdict
Samsung believes Apple has gained an unfair monopoly following its crushing courtroom defeat... The Korean brand has been fighting tooth and nail to convince the jury it hasnt wilfully copied Apple products, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
Its not yet known whether this will affect its products around the world that are subject to other court cases, but in the US Samsung is dismayed:
"Todays verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer."
"It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies."
Samsung is still staunchly defending its design choices, and ahead of an appeal says it will continue to vigorously offer choice.
"Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products."
"This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apples claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer."

Lenovo P770 4 5 inch Jelly Bean Android with MAXX Like Battery Life
Lenovo has released two new Android smartphones in the Philippines, the P770 and the P890. As compared to the new Lenovo offerings released last January, the main features of the two new phones is that they now have Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, installed and have increased the RAM to 1 GB.
Lenovo P770. The Lenovo P770 is a mid-sized Android phone with a 4.5-inch qHD (540 x 960) display. The Lenovo P770 is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual core ARM Cortex-A9 processor on a Mediatek chipset and comes with PowerVR SGX graphics. This makes places the phone in the same category as the Cherry Mobile Thunder, Cherry Mobile Flare, Cloudfone Trill 430X, MyPhone A888 and Starmobile Crystal. The Lenovo P770 priced at Php11,790, is priced 4-7K more than its competition.
What the Lenovo P770 offers which could justify the higher price are:
- Android 4.1 out of the box
- 1 GB of RAM, which is double of what you have in the Thunder, Flame, A888 and Crystal
- Processor clocked 200 MHz faster than the Thunder, Flame, Thrill 430x, A888 and Crystal
- a large 3500 mAh battery, again is twice the size of the batteries on the Thunder, Flame, A888 and Crystal
Best to leave each reader to decide whether the Lenovo P770s feature set justifies the higher price. The buyers who will consider the Lenovo P770 will probably be most interested in the large 3500 mAh battery, and this would make the Cloudfone Trill 430X is main competition.
The other specifications are in line with what you expect from a smartphone at this price with dual SIM capability, 4 GB of internal storage expandable via a MicroSD card, a 5 MP primary camera with a LED flash camera, a VGA secondary camera and the other features you expect to find in an Android smartphone these days.
The Lenovo P770 is solid offering. While I cannot say it is a value for money option, it differentiates itself enough from its direct competition to make it a worthwhile choice.
Overview Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Design and Call Quality
The Galaxy S 4G measures 4.8 by 2.5 by 0.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.2 ounces. The new silver and chrome exterior finish looks nicer; the original Vibrant feels a bit cheap in comparison. The new sculpted back panel feels better to hold during calls, too. The Galaxy S 4G features the same 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen as before, with 480-by-800-pixel resolution and bright, vibrant colors. The Galaxy S 4G uses Swype, a popular virtual keyboard that lets you swipe your finger between letters without picking it up to type. Normally Im not a Swype fan, but I had an easier time using it on the Galaxy S thanks to the large glass screen, even in portrait mode (which scrunches the keys together). Dialing numbers was also fast and responsive. One downside: unlocking the phone requires a deliberate, carefully positioned swipe from the bottom of the screen all the way to the top. This became old quickly.
The Galaxy S 4G is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual-band 4G HSPA+ (1700/2100 MHz) device with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. T-Mobiles HSPA+ network promises theoretical download speeds of up to 21 Mbps, and in real life about half that speed. I saw 4.0 to 4.3 Mbps down and 1.6 Mbps up in a rural part of eastern Massachusetts, 5.0 to 5.5 Mbps down in a T-Mobile-recommend "ideal" coverage spot 20 minutes from my house, and a stellar 6.39 Mbps down while using the Galaxy S 4G as a mobile hotspot closer to my home. You also get Wi-Fi calling, which has to be turned on by launching an app, but is still useful in marginal coverage areas.
Call quality was excellent, particularly in HSPA+ mode. I heard no static or dropouts in switching between Wi-Fi, EDGE, and HSPA+ modes during voice calls, though Wi-Fi and EDGE calls sounded a bit brittle and harsh in comparison. Transmissions through the microphone were crystal clear, and reception was solid. Calls also sounded fine through an Aliph Jawbone Icon ($99, 4 stars) Bluetooth headset. Voice dialing worked fine over Bluetooth. The speakerphone sounded clear and crisp, but could have used more volume. The oversized 1650mAh battery was good for an excellent 17 hours and 41 minutes of talk time in EDGE mode. Thats one of the best battery results weve ever seen.
Operating System, TV, and Apps
Feature-wise, the Galaxy S 4G checks off all the right boxes. It runs Android 2.2.1, which brings a host of improvements over the Vibrants original version 2.1, including faster speeds, the aforementioned (extra-cost) mobile Wi-Fi hotspot access, and a new dial screen. Lets hope Samsung has improved its widely panned OS upgrade process, as Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" is already beginning to make the rounds.
Samsungs TouchWiz UI layer also looks a little different, but its never been much of a draw. The phone features seven customizable home screens you can swipe between, plus colorful little boxes around all of the menu icons. Scrolling is fast and seamless. Underneath the hood, theres the same 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor as before; its fast, but not class leading. The Galaxy S 4G benchmarked similar to the Vibrant once the Android 2.1/2.2 difference was factored in.

Samsung Announces Android Phone With QWERTY Keyboard
The portrait QWERTY form factor is no longer as underrepresented in the world of Google Android devices as it was just a couple of months ago.
The Acer beTouch led the way in June last year, and since then the HTC’s Facebook-centric phone ChaCha have all featured the same BlackBerry-esque form factor.
Another device that now can be added to the list is the Samsung Galaxy Pro.
The newly announced device packs a 2.8" touchscreen, a 3MP camera with autofocus, and a 800MHz processor.
It runs Android 2.2 (codenamed Froyo) with Samsung’s custom TouchWiz User Interface (UI) on top.
The Samsung Galaxy Pro also comes with Social Media Hub Premium, which lets you manage your social life from one place and it’s also said to improve battery life.
A bit underwhelming specs, but the main feature of this device is arguably its form factor that some people love, and the Galaxy Pro has a full four-row hardware QWERTY keyboard.
Samsung’s portrait QWERTY handset is coming soon to Three UK, and the carrier has already recorded a short hands-on video that you can watch below.
No word on availability in other areas yet or pricing, but that will likely be announced before long.
Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 Android Phone
Gio, in Indian terms its known as Long Live. Yes, at least by the launches and products of Samsung it looks like Samsung is here to become no less than a fastest growing mobile manufacturer. So, Samsung now comes up with its new product dubbed as Gio S5660 which is an Android based mobile phone.
If we talk of its offering then this phone comes with an Qualcomm QCT MSM7227-1 Turbo processor whose processing speed is 800 MHz which runs on Android 2.2 operating system. This phone also comes with Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 dual-band 3G HSDPA: 900, 2100 ready device with 158 MB of RAM with a maximum microSD card support of 32 GB. This phone comes with a 3.2-inch, HVGA 320 x 480 pixel TFT capacitive touchscreen which supports 16 million colors and sports two touch-sensitive keys which gives an exact look of the most popular phone of Samsung Galaxy S. Also, this phone includes support of various other features like Accelerometer sensor which is very useful for auto rotating the screen and also comes with Samsung’s proprietary touch Wiz v3.0 which gives no less experience than Apple’s revolutionary touch experience. This phone comes with 150 MB of inbuilt memory.
Adding to the list of feature sets, this device also sports includes GPRS, EDGE, 3G HSDPA 7.2 Mbps download speed, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/N Wireless LAN with DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with A2DP wireless connection, GPS with Assisted GPS (A-GPS) , Google Earth and micro USB 2.0 which will never let you down in terms of connectivity. Also, with digital compass, proximity sensor, 3.5 mm jack, light sensor, latest Google Maps, Google Voice this also equips a 5MP camera with an LED flash and also comes with the advanced capability of Geo tagging. The disadvantage of this mobile device is that it does not come with any front-facing camera for video calling.
If we talk of battery life then this mobile device comes with 1350Mah Lithium ion battery which promises to deliver up to a talktime of talk time of up to 6.7 hours on 3G (about 11 hours on 2G) and standby time up to 17.8 days on 3G ( about 29.7 days on 2G) network. There is still no confirmation on its price and availability, but once we get any details, we will surely update this with the same.

LG introduces worlds smallest wireless charger
The project, launched on Kickstarter, claims to be “the smallest emergency phone charger”. Its 220mAh battery could in theory charge a smartphone to up to a seventh of its capacity. Makers Devotec, who want to raise funds for testing, manufacture and certification, claim it “could give you around 20 - 30 minutes extra talk time, or up to a few hours more standby, depending on how you use your cell phone”.
The Fuel uses a microUSB charger, which is standard on all smartphones except the iPhone. An Apple-compatible version is however planned for the future.
Devotec is aiming to raise $20,000, and after launching last week are already approaching $18,000. The device would sell for around $25, and the makers claim it would be“Perfect for when you have had an unexpected delay, or havent been able to fully charge your phone, and you need to make a few calls, send a work email or use your GPS and maps function to find your way home.”
The charger, made from lacquered aluminium, measures 1.3 by 0.9 by 0.5 inches, and is able to keep its charge for up to three months. It is recharged by microUSB and also features lights to display its charging status.
Devotec is best known for its solar-powered Bluetooth speakers and solar chargers. Although Kickstarter is increasingly being used to garner publicity for projects from major businesses, Devotec claims “We need to buy the aluminium toolings, pay for the first production run, and pay for all the certification like CE, RoHS, and WEEE.” Early backers

LG introduces worlds smallest wireless charger
LG Electronics (LG) today introduced the world’s smallest wireless charger at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. At only 6.9cm in diameter, the WCP-300 is designed with portability in mind. Despite its di-minutive size, the charging area is 1.7 times wider than that of LG’s previous generation wireless charger. The new model is compatible with a standard 5-pin micro-USB charger, providing the highest level of charging performance and user convenience.
The WCP-300 employs electromagnetic induction technology and is Qi certified by the Wireless Power Consortium. Electromagnetic induction produces a magnetic field that in turn generates an electric current to charge the batteries in devices placed on the charging pad. Certification ensures that the WCP-300 is compatible with all smart-phones that support the Qi standard.
“Wireless charging is the holy grail of smartphone user convenience,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “With the WCP-300, LG was able to deliver both portability with top-class charging capabilities in a device no larger than a typical beverage coaster.”
In the US market, both the LG Spectrum 2 and Nexus 4 feature built-in support for wireless charging right out of the box, eliminating the need to purchase separate covers. LG believes that built-in support for upcoming smartphones will be the most critical development in making wireless charging the industry standard going forward.
LG is committed to offering consumers a better mobile user experience by introducing smartphones with more advanced wireless charging technologies in the global market.
Nokia Risk with Microsoft
The report should be submitted to the SEC for the investors know the risk factors when investing. One of the points in this report include software Windows 7 Phone judged immature. Naturally, this is indeed the new OS was released late last year.
Nokia also recognizes that the process of agreement with Microsoft has not reached the final. By choosing WP 7, Nokia hopes to reach a wider market in quick time. But the transition to WP 7 will probably take too long time.

Nokia finally reveals its plans for the Symbian 3 future
Those new devices should bring 1GHz+ CPUs and faster GPUs to Symbian^3. Kochikar also says that the company will make full use of its expertise in location-based services and imaging to make its new Symbian^3 smartphones more attractive.
Of course, its the UI thats currently holding the Symbian lineup back, but Nokia plans to do something about that too. There are several updates that should dramatically improve user experience in the pipeline. The first one is pretty major, delivering a brand new home screen, new flexible widgets, new icons (pictured left), a faster browser, new Navbar and a fresh look and feel to Ovi Store and Ovi Maps, including integration of social media services in Ovi Maps.
That first update should come some time in the summer. In fact several of its components have already made their way to the Nokia C7 Astound that should hit T-Mobile US in a week.
Still the company promised that it wont be dropping the Symbian^3 support immediately even if their first devices with the Microsoft turn out to be a huge success. Nokia says that it will be offering some support until the natural lifecycle of the Symbian^3 smartphones has ended in an attempt to convince users to switch to the WP7 after that.
