The New Zeus Android Phone

January 31, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The New Zeus Android Phone
Videocon, a company with influence all across the world (but based in India), is the manufacturer of this new phone the V7500. Thanks to Videocon, the Android market will be even more easily accessible to most of Asia and more affordable to local consumers too.
The Zeus is a 3.5G phone. It sports a Qualcomm 600 MHz micro-processor along with a 3.2 inch multi-touch screen. It has a flash-enabled 5-megapixel camera attached, capable of recording 24 FPS (frames per second). The actual resolution of the HVGA display is 320480 pixels, which is noticeably clearer than other Android phones currently available from multi-national manufacturers.
It comes with an 8GB micro-SD memory card but its internal memory (which starts at 512 KB) is expandable up to 32 GB. It also includes Bluetooth, Wifi, and Push Mail capabilities. Something interesting worth noting is that the package comes with two 1230 mAH batteries not just one. Very few phones come with more than one battery.
Other included accessories are a wall charger, car charger, carrying pouch, and applications guide. Along with all of these features is, of course, the ever-expanding Android market with over 70,000 applications and counting. Users can easily get their hands on resourceful applications such as maps or GPS navigation.
Videocon, the manufacturer of the new Zeus Android phone is a dominant force in the Indian market; its been in existence for over thirty years. Although the company has been around for quite some time, Videocon is just now starting to focus its energy on reflecting the ever-changing nature of this generations youth and the technological advances that go along with it.
This is precisely why Videocon is getting involved in the smart-phone market. For basically the same features and accessories as other manufacturers, the entire Zeus package can be bought for only $ 300. This package comes along with a year warranty on the phone, and six month warranty on the accessories that come along with it.
Despite being made by a company that isnt really known outside of India, the Zeus is capable of putting a lot of pressure on the more prominent manufacturers of smart phones in India, such as Sony, Samsung, and HTC. Along with the announcement regarding the Zeus phone, Videocon also revealed a few other new models the V1410, V1603, V1475, and V1606. These phones are not Android phones, but do have a few notable features of their own, such as a full-QWERTY keyboard and laser touch capabilities.
Unfortunately, the Zeus hasnt been around for enough time to be given a proper review. However, it is certainly a step in the right direction. Other companies may soon follow in Videocons footsteps, which would further solidify the Android OS as the standard operating system for smart phones.

Android Applications : Holo Everywhere

January 31, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Android Applications : Holo Everywhere

Android Framework engineer Adam Powell wrote recently about the Android Holo theme family.

Android 4.0 showcases the Holo theme family, further refined since its debut in Android 3.0. But as most Android developers know, a new system theme for some Android devices isn’t a new or uncommon event. For an Android developer, new system themes mean more design targets for their apps. Using system themes means Android App Developers can take advantage of a user’s existing expectations and it can save a lot of production time, but only if an Android app designer can reliably predict the results. Before Android 4.0, the variance in system themes from device to device could make it difficult to design an app with a single predictable look and feel.

We set out to improve this situation for the android app developer community in Ice Cream Sandwich and beyond.

If you’re not already familiar with Android’s style and theme system, you should read Styles and Themes before continuing.

Compatibility Standard

In Android 4.0, Holo is different. We’ve made the inclusion of the unmodified Holo theme family a compatibility requirement for devices running Android 4.0 and forward. If the device has Android Market it will have the Holo themes as they were originally designed.

This standardization goes for all of the public Holo widget styles as well. The Widget.Holo styles will be stable from device to device, safe for use as parent styles for incremental customizations within your app.

The Holo theme family in Android 4.0 consists of the themes Theme.Holo, Theme.Holo.Light, and Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar. To use a Holo theme, explicitly request one from your manifest on your activity or application element. Your app will be displayed using the unmodified theme on all compatible Android 4.0 devices. The Holo themes may also be used as stable parent themes for app-level theme customizations.

What about device themes?

We have no desire to restrict manufacturers from building their own themed experience across their devices. In fact we’ve gone further to make this even easier. In Android 4.0′s API level 14, we’ve added a new public theme family to complement the Holo family introduced in Android 3.0: DeviceDefault. DeviceDefault themes are aliases for the device’s native look and feel. The DeviceDefault theme family and widget style family offer ways for Android developers to target the device’s native theme with all customizations intact.

Formally separating these theme families will also make future merges easier for manufacturers updating to a new platform version, helping more devices update more quickly. Google’s Nexus devices will alias DeviceDefault to the unmodified Holo themes.

Brand New Android Contenders

January 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Brand New Android Contenders

T-mobile MyTouch Phone

Pros of this model

The T – mobile My Touch phone has the latest addition – the 3 G Slide. T – Mobile My Touch 3 G slide is equipped with a right slide keypad with Q W E R T Y interface. The symbols share space with the letter keys, but it gets easier to type faster once you get familiar with it. The T – Mobile My Touch 3 G Slide is fit with the latest rendering of Android, the 2.1 version, and has all the functions that the version is capable of. The ergonomic and compact phone also comes with a spanking new user friendly vibe that is incorporated in the feel as well as the sleek looks. The exceptional calling quality gets some points, as does the remarkably fast 3 G functions.

There are also some excellent additional applications, like the My Touch Music. The LG Lotus Elite is also somewhat similar in subtle ways.

Cons of this Model

The updates on the Fave gallery are not really up to date all the time, and the information is more or less redundant. The comparatively below par camera also takes away points.

Buy or Not???

Albeit not a leader of the Android pack in terms of flashiness, the T – Mobile My Touch 3 G Slide is a worthwhile buy, especially for first time smart phone users, the on par features as well as the interface, which is extremely on the user friendly side.

Palm Pre Plus

Pros of this Model Web OS, with all its immense advantages like excellent contacts managing as well as higher levels of multitasking, has been introduced to the A T & T.

Palm Pre Plus is also inclusive of an inductive cover, which enables Touchstone charging. The Q W E R T Y keypad has undergone some renewal to the better, when compared to the Palm Pre. The camera measures a decent 3 mega pixels, and video editing has also become a lot easier.

Cons of this Model The Palm Mobile Hotspot application is not supported by A T & T Palm Pre Plus, and this may be rather a let down to the many fans of this app. The battery could also have come with better life.

Buy or Not???

Web OS alone is responsible for the Palm Pre Plus being among the better phones in the A T & T touch screen smart phone line up. The steep price may make many consumers think twice before splurging. May be you can consider the L G Lotus Elite.

Sprint htc evo 4g

Pros of this Model

Performance in the model has been greatly enhanced. The design has been made superior to the previous, as well as the display. The dearth of key features which was palpable in the previous iPhone has been sorted, and the iOS 4 update is really useful as well.

Cons of the Model

Multitasking is not up to the mark, and one has to be inconvenienced in some way to multitask. The reception makes for a sub par call quality, and a case is required to increase reception. Also a 64 G B model would have been more on the spot. The 12 app limit on the home screen folders is also not much fun.

Buy or Not???

Its htc after all, and in spite of the spotty reception as well as the sub par call quality, the Sprint htc evo 4g scores points on design, features as well as performance.
