Products

Android #1 in PC World Top 100 Tech. ProductsPosted by: Cody HahnOctober 27, 2010PCWorld has taken the entire world of tech. that has been revealed in 2010. HDTVs, phones, tablets, PCs, e-book readers, storage, software, services, apps, digital cameras, camcorders, printers, just about anything high tech and picked the top 100 best technology products for 2010.  Look who is number one!

Here are the top 5 tech products and services:

1. Google Android 2.2
2. Apple iPad
3. Amazon Kindle (third generation)
4. Netflix
5. Samsung Galaxy Tab

#1 Android topping the list does not surprise us a bit but I’m sure Apple is scrambling to change their pants right about now.  Google is now offering great mobile products which are expected to surpass Apple's iOS in market share by year's end.   Android provides one thing that the iPhone platform can't promise, a flexible browser with Flash 10.1 support, OS-wide voice control and dictation features, and a rapidly expanding app ecosystem just to name a few.

The second place position of the iPad is pretty surprising considering the success in sales the unit has had.  Right now everyone is waiting to see what kind of sales figures the slew of Android tablets coming out this Holiday are going to have.  It is a major win for Google for Android to be rated above the "magical" device.

Third place goes to the new Amazon Kindle another version of their popular E-reader. A ton of improvements over the last version of Kindle. Amazon wants to get their foot in the door before the tablets take over. Look at the improvements
All-New, High-Contrast E Ink Screen – 50% better contrast
Read in Bright Sunlight – No glare
New and Improved Fonts – New crisper, darker fonts
New Sleek Design – 21% smaller body while keeping the same 6" size reading area
17% Lighter – Only 8.5 ounces, weighs less than a paperback
Battery Life of Up to One Month – A single charge lasts up to one month with wireless off
Double the Storage – Up to 3,500 books
Built-In Wi-Fi – Shop and download books in less than 60 seconds
20% Faster Page Turns – Seamless reading
Enhanced PDF Reader – With dictionary lookup, notes, and highlights
New WebKit-Based Browser – Browse the web over Wi-Fi (experimental

Forth place is Netflix. Streaming video service and video-by-mail. Netflix a dominant and growing provider ofstreaming-video movies and TV shows, Netflix came on strong this year with its Watch Instantly service. With release of new mobile apps it looks like Netflix will continue to grow.

Fifth place goes to the Galaxy Tab. The main contender of the 1st generation Android Tabs. This tablet is by far the best available to date. Sleek design with a nice feel and believed to soon be sporting the latest Android OS “Gingerbread” when it is released this holiday season. The iPad is about to have a fight on its’ hands. With a $399 price tag the Galaxy tab is fairly priced and well worth the money. See the Specs in relation to the iPad (below)

Wow, that is a great win for Android. Beating out the iPad and the iPhone. I know it's just one site's list, but it is a pretty popular one. Go Android!

Adobe Air: To Android and BeyondPosted by: Cody HahnOctober 27, 2010The next big Adobe release after Flash 10.1 for Android mobile devices is the spanking new Adobe Air 2.5. The AIR 2.5 release is the latest great evolution of Adobe and their effort to create a multi-platform application environment. AIR employs the same skills that developers already have with Flash in order to construct applications for AIR across multiple types of devices.
"With the release of AIR 2.5, more than 3 million Flash developers can now build a single game or application and easily deploy it across multiple application stores and devices," said David Wadhwani, senior vice president, Creative and Interactive Solutions Business
AIR 2.5 now enables more immersive user experience with support for both accelerometers and multi-touch gestures. Location based applications are now possible with AIR 2.5 with the inclusion of new geolocation support. Additionally, AIR applications have the potential to be more robust thanks to SQLite database support enabling developers to keep data inside of AIR applications.What does this mean for all the Android users out there? More Apps, more games, more fun. With the inclusion ofAdobe Air Apps on and off the market smart phone users will have a bigger selection of applications for their devices.*Note: The AIR 2.5 runtime and its associated SDK (Software Development Kit) is available today for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android users. BlackBerry users will have to wait until the Black Berry Playbook tablet device which will ship preloaded with AIR 2.5 to enjoy the Adobe goodness. Go here on your Android device to download Adobe AIR applications: http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=adobe+air

Google’s David Lawee “hearts” AndroidPosted by: Russell HollyOctober 27, 2010We all know that Google gets pretty purchase happy sometimes. Depending on the time of year, you can read once a week that Google has acquired SOMETHING to make it more awesome. The search giant is now so much more then a search giant that it seems that as often as something gets scooped up, another project dies. Fortunately, we can all enjoy one project that makes everyone except those guys in Redmond and those dudes over at Infinity Loop pretty happy - Android. It makes Google happy enough that VP David Lawee spoke about the original deal recently.

David Lawee is the VP of corporate development, and at a Stanford Symposium recently he called Android the "best deal ever" and spoke about his early interactions with Android's Andy Rubin, and how that relationship came to be.

“I saw this guy in my building for two years, walking his dog, and I was like, I hope this guy does something,”

Andy was at Google for awhile before Google put Android out into the world, and he continues to head the Android project at Google. The match couldn't be better for everyone. We all love Android, we all love Google, and the combination is what makes the experience so great.

$99 Android Tablet at Walgreen’s this ChristmasPosted by: Cody HahnOctober 27, 2010This Christmas, Walgreen’s will offer an Android tablet on their website.  Walgreen’s is going to offer their tablet for just $99 (marked down from the $129.99 original price).

The tablet being offered is named the Maylong M-150.

The Maylong tablet runs the aging Android 1.6 OS and is assumed to not come with access to Google Marketplace.  The display on the Maylong tablet is a 7-inch (800 x 480) resistive touchscreen TFT LCD display (comes with a Stylus). The 7-inch tablet is powered by a ARM9(VM8505+) CPU and comes with just 256MB of DDR system memory.

The Maylong M-150 tablet for storage comes with a SD card slot. Other things featured on the budget android tablet includes USB, RJ45, built-in speaker (1W) and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g connectivity. The tablet weights only 12oz., is 0.3? thin and is supplied a 1500MA Li-Polymer battery (no word on the battery life).

As a lower end android tablet the specs are impressive considering the $99.00 price tag. I wouldn't mind getting one of these under the tree instead of that itchy sweater. This would be a great starter device for those who want a tablet and don't want a $399.99 commitment with a contract as with the Galaxy Tab. So keep a look out on Walgreen's online, these are sure to go fast.

Here is the Walgreen's Link go check back often. They are currently out of stock, they are expected to have more in the future. They wouldn't sell out before Christmas.

That design is a huge iPad rip off.

For $99, this doesn't look too bad, and someone will hack the market on it and custom 2.2 roms probably. If someone sucessfully hacks it i may pick one up and do the same.

Reply ›HaggieOctober 27, 2010

Call me when it is rooted and overclocked.

Actually, don't even call me then. That resistive screen is a deal killer.

Reply ›EpicanisOctober 27, 2010

Why does it have an "Internet Explorer®" "e" in the bar at the bottom?...

Still probably worth the price if it's hackable.

Reply ›JoeEOctober 27, 2010

Hmmm, Walgreen's dispenses its biggest tablet:-)

Reply ›LexOctober 28, 2010

How does it have no internal memory? Where are the apps saved? Can you only use the apps pre-installed? Unless there's some sort of Apps2SD for 1.6 that I've never heard of...

Reply ›Cody HahnOctober 28, 2010

apps r stored n the 256MB DDR aka "system memory"

Reply ›Nguy?n Thanh ThiênOctober 28, 2010

I'd used Tablet but Market's unavarable for download appliction which I want. Maps Google Search don't show on monitor.

Reply ›gadOctober 28, 2010

There are alot wrong with this tablet: resistive screen,version 1.6, 7" screen, no market.
The up side is the cost

PayPal Blog Leaks Android Market Announcement, Quickly DisappearsPosted by: Scott WebsterOctober 27, 2010We'd heard whispers off and on for a few weeks now that PayPal integration was coming to the Android Market.  Long a desired Google Checkout alternative, PayPal would open up big doors for Android developers and fans alike.  So when is it coming?  It already did.  And then it didn't.

The PayPal blog posted an article late last night that they would be offering payment options in the Android Market to folks looking to purchase applications.  Unfortunately, the blog post was quickly removed.  Thankfully, Google cached the article for the world to see.

Our guess is that PayPal was slightly ahead of the gun and we'll see an announcement out of Google and Paypal soon.  Maybe perhaps as early as today as this marks the final day of PayPal's Innovate 2010 Conference.

Android Helps Sprint Achieve Best Wireless Net Additions Since 2006Posted by: Scott WebsterOctober 27, 2010Don't look now, but Sprint is on a serious roll.  The guys behind the Now Network reported their Q3 '10 results and things are looking up.  Sprint netted 644,000 total wireless subscribers over the quarter, including 354,000 postpaid customers.  Thanks to fantastic phones like the Epic 4G and and EVO 4G, the provider had their best year-over-year improvement in postpaid churn (1.93 percent) in five years. To be fair, it's not all good news for Sprint.  They still had a consolidated net operating revenues of nearly $8.2 billion and a net loss of $911 million.  Head over to Sprint's news room to read the full press release.
