Droid Eris Commercial – Verizon Still Taking Shots at Apple’s 3G Network [VIDEO]

AndroidGuys — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:52:16 +0000

Not to be deterred by a lawsuit, Verizon is still going hard on Apple for their network, or lack thereof. The most recent example come from a commercial featuring the Droid Eris handset. Android aside, the spot is a rather clever one. The iPhone arrives on the Island of Misfit Toys and the others can’t figure out why. It’s not until the iPhone… well, we’ll let you see.

Let’s just say it’s yet another zinger that points out the fact that apps aren’t everything.

The commercial is definitely not based around Android or any specific handsets. The Droid Eris and HTC Imagio take a backseat to the zinger. Still, it’s a comforting feeling to see another Android device on television.

OpenTable Helps 1 Million Diners Find a Table

AndroidGuys — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:15:05 +0000

OpenTable, a company we profiled back in September, has now seated over 1 million diners using their mobile app. With a $50 average check per diner, this equates to more than $50 million in revenue generated for its restaurant partners.

OpenTable’s application comes in Android, iPhone, Palm and BlackBerry flavors and allows diners to find and book reservations at more than 11,000 different restaurants around the world. Using the app, diners can view a list of open tables at nearby restaurants and even make reservations right from their phones.

This is an important milestone for OpenTable because we are now seeing mobile reservations translate into meaningful revenue for our restaurant partners. Because our mobile apps interact directly with the OpenTable Electronic Reservation Book at the restaurant’s host stand, we are uniquely positioned to provide smartphone users with the ability to find and book real-time reservations and the confidence that the restaurant will be expecting them when they arrive. - Jeff Jordan, CEO of OpenTable.

If you’re interested in picking up OpenTable, you can find it for free in the Android Market.

Developers Challenge Trims to Top 200

AndroidGuys — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:14:30 +0000

With the first round of the ADC 2 completed, it’s time to see who has made the cut. After getting underway back in May, the list has been trimmed to 20 semi-finalists from 10 categories. Over the next weeks (months), Android users will be able to help decide who takes home the top 3 spots in their respective group. The winners will walk away with $100,000, $50,000, or $25,000 depending on where they place. On top of that, there are three more cash prizes for the 3 best apps overall. Download the Android Developers Challenge application from the Android Market today and get started!

Categories include:

Education/Reference
Games: Casual/Puzzle
Games: Arcade/Action
Social Networking
Lifestyle
Productivity/Tools
Media
Entertainment
Travel
Misc

For this final round, Android users (you!) and a panel of judges from the industry will both help narrow the results down. Voting will be open until enough votes are received for each application to fit into whatever algorithm they’re using. The previous ADC saw judges from all 34 founding members of the Open Handset Alliance so we’re assuming a similar system will be in place this time.

For the big list of all 200 apps that made the cut, you can head to the Android Developers Blog. Which of these did you get a chance to play with? Any favorites or front runners?

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Bo Stone — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:00:28 +0000

Oh, boy do I feel cheated! Gone, gone are the honeymoon days when I had this wonderful love affair with my brand shiny new MyTouch. The bride turned out to be a little bit too old, not very smart and missing some very important qualities.

To my own horror I found myself lurking in the dark corners of the blogosphere, catching glimpses of new sexy things to come, enviously reading about all of the glamorous and exciting things they will do for their lucky masters. Fast, slick, young…

No, I definitely have cheated, there’s the only one way out – dump your old beau and get this seductress who will softly whisper in my ear “Drooooiiiiiid“. Hmmm… Tempting!

But on the second thought, it will probably cost me an arm and a half of a leg to bail out of the contract and switch carriers. Besides that, big T will probably start rolling “Eclairs” within a month so my already trusted phone will get just as smart. I do enjoy the fact that I can have a family plan and unlimited net and still pay under $100/month. I’m not missing things like physical keyboard (I’m a programmer, I’m practically attached to the computer) and I like the shape, the weight and the fact that I can put it in the pocket and forget that I even have the phone. Plus, even the newest of phones will grow old at some point too.

But there is a silver lining! After all, time is on my side©. I can’t even imagine what sort of a beast is awaiting me on the other end of my 2 year contract. What do you think is waiting for us over the rainbow?

Google is Pushing Droid on its Homepage

Chuck Falzone — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:07:28 +0000

The picture really says it all. Google is obviously fully part of the big Droid launch marketing today, giving it a coveted link on the Google.com homepage.

The “learn more” link leads to a page on Google headed “Search on Droid by Motorola.” The page includes photos of the Droid, a bit of text highlighting voice search, the quick search box and Google’s new turn-by-turn navigation. There’s also a blue box with a couple of links off to Verizon.

These blue-box links might be slightly controversial to some; those of us familiar with these kinds of pages on Google expect those links to lead to other Google.com pages. I found it a bit jarring when I saw that I was heading to the dark, dark land of Verizon.

Edit: I forgot to mention Bert and Ernie. Details are hazy, but apparently Bert and Ernie are either fans or paid endorsers of the Droid. (The previous sentence is not true.)

Garmin Looks to Android for Direction

AndroidNewb — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:00:57 +0000

With the recent announcement of Android 2.0 and the eagerly anticipated addition of Google Maps Navigation, it should come as no surprise that established navigation companies like Garmin weren’t as excited about it as us Android users were. However, as part of their “Q3 Earnings Call Webcast,” Garmin has indicated that they plan on joining the Android team at some point next year. The image here is a page of the presentation indicating their intent. The full presentation can be found HERE.

This of course should come as no surprise from a company whose slogan is “Follow the Leader”.

Polar Mobile Brings TheStreet.com to Android

AndroidGuys — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:54:22 +0000

Polar Mobile has announced the release of an Android-based version of TheStreet.com Mobile. This iteration of the application features customized stock portfolios, news articles, commentary from Mad Money’s Jim Cramer, and push-delivered market data. This marks the 3rd platform after BlackBerry and iPhone to get TheStreet.com and an obvious choice.

The buzz around Android is undeniable. With Motorola, Verizon, Samsung, LG and other major players taking a significant bet, it is essential for Polar to extend our SMART Platform to support Android devices for our customers. The application market is heating up and we get that media brands need help getting their content out across multiple platforms. – Kunal Gupta, CEO of Polar Mobile.

After being nominated for a Webby Award on BlackBerry, Polar Mobile promises many more Android applications. If you want to grab TheStreet.com, you can get it for free in the Android Market or at m.thestreet.com today!

Behold More Cube!

AndroidGuys — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:31:37 +0000

The boys at TmoNews were sent a video that show what the UI looks like for the Behold II. Being both Android-based and TouchWiz, we’re anxious to see how the interface works. What’s with the cube? The (grainy) video below gives us a few minutes of how everything works. It appears Samsung has done a great job balancing TouchWiz with Android, not going too far in either direction.

There’s also an earlier, more grainy video of the cube if you’d like to see it.

Search, Better

Jose Salviati — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:00:24 +0000

One of the most exciting things about Android is that it is constantly changing. We were all anxious for Cupcake, Donut and now for Eclair. Admit it, you waited by your phone anxiously anticipating the moment it informed you of the availability of a new system update. Some changes come under the radar however. New and improved mobile search is one such stealth improvement you might have missed.

Google Search Options have existed on your desktop for most of 2009. These options allow you to filter your searches based on results (blogs, news, videos, etc.) and time (24 hours, week, year, etc.). Google announced recently that the same helpful filtering options are now available to mobile users.

Let’s say you want to buy Beatles Rockband for the Wii. You can Google that and get lots of information. Too much information most likely. Google Search Options to the rescue! Click Options then Reviews from within your results window and you get only others’ opinions about your intended purchase. Want more? Click Options and Past 24 Hours and you get only the latest and greatest information regarding reviews. All done? Click Options and Reset Options to clear the filter settings. Very cool.

Now that might not have been the best example because we know you were going to buy Beatles Rockband anyway, right? Hopefully it served to introduce this new feature that once you start using you may find yourself relying on more and more. I do.

‘Zagat To Go’ Arrives on Android Today

AndroidGuys — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:57:59 +0000

A full press release should hit the wires later today, but we’ve got some early information on the new Android app from Zagat. The new app is called Zagat To Go and it comes a few months after the launch of ‘nru‘ from a few months back. One of the longest running series of mobile apps (since 2000), the Android version marks the second touchscreen iteration after the iPhone one. The $9.99 app is highly popular for Apple (#1 grossing Travel) gives users full access to 45+ Zagat Guides of information.Unlike nru, Zagat To Go is all about the data and the power user looking to make educated decisions about dining out. Users have the full Zagat Ratings for food, service, decor, and down-to-the-dollar cost estimates! Naturally, the app also offers the official Zagat review for each restaurant, bar, hotel, etc. Built to use GPS-location awareness, users will always have Zagat-Rated restaurant recommendations at arm’s length.
Want to filter your search? Advanced Search can narrow results down by scale, cost, and more. This means you can specifically select a restaurant that’s a 20+ on food scale, costs less than 50 dollars, is child-friendly, in midtown, and serves Italian food. Yup! Precise, isn’t it?

Other features include online reservation integration, favorites, photo browsing, and links to websites for menus. And thanks to Android, there’s a home screen widget too! Look for Zagat to Go in the Android Market.

Time Travel – Android Style

Todd Arendt — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:00:20 +0000

Time travel has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. Worm holes, space craft, and even ridiculously modded DeLoreans have served as fodder for our quest to control our relationship to the relentless plodding of time. Fortunately, for (all of) mankind, a little personal electronics company called Sony introduced what may have been the first legitimate time control consumer device a few decades back. It was known mysteriously as, “BetaMax”.

While Sony’s initial foray into the VCR (that’s video cassette recorder to those new among us) market did not achieve the worldwide domination they surely expected, it did finally allow people to be (virtually) in two places at one time. Fast-forward to a time when enterprise data solutions are smaller than that pioneering BetaMax cassette, and you have the dawn of Android.

Recognizing that other smartphone platforms MAY exist outside of the Androidosphere, what we are talking about today is the potential Android applications have to make our lives better. Let’s start with scholars’ estimates that average Americans (and presumably lots of other world citizens) spend between three and five years of their lives waiting in some sort of line. Taking the more conservative estimate to mean 26,280 hours per person, that is a LOT of time.

So, what might you do with your time if you had a computer, internet connection, and virtually unlimited access to computer applications (i.e. Android handset), while you were standing in line ? Well, I’ve seen writers estimate that the first draft of a novel is achievable within three months. Think how much more quickly you could create the invitation list for a birthday party, or, SuperBowl Bash. Heck, with Android 2.0’s recently announced Microsoft Exchange support, you could probably make a habit of planning your next day’s schedule while waiting in the supermarket checkout line.

And, as fun as that sounds, the real point here is for developers and Androiders alike to harness the tremendous opportunities inherent in such a “time traveling” device. Developers have a responsibility to at least consider how their applications might be used to reclaim the numerous fragments of our lives that were previously considered “wasted.” And, Android owners owe it to themselves to discover how the mundane everyday tasks of life might be squeezed to free up time for more enjoyable pursuits. As a developer, and as an Android user, I’m doing both. What say you ?

Xperia Learns From Xperience

Benjamin Rubenstein — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:00:13 +0000

With the announcement of the Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10, one can’t help but wonder why there aren’t more devices like it on the market today. True, it lacks the latest version of Android (2.0); they also seem to have left out multi-touch browsing. But, the fact of the matter is, those things are all fixable via software updates. Plus, I’m sure they’re already hard at work on implement Android 2.0 with their super slick, outta control, Rachael UI.

So, aside from the software issues, which can be corrected, why can’t other phones be like the Xperia X10? Why is it so hard for a company to put out a quality piece of hardware? I just don’t get it! I understand it costs more money, but we see that phone companies are already charging customers a fortune for high end phones.

Let’s use our brains for second (I know I’m asking a lot)… Who in tarnations wants to pay $349.99 (after mail-in rebate) for an HTC Touch Pro2 running WinMo 6.1? Yeah, it’s a nice looking phone, but that’s pretty much it. The processor is awful (528MHz ARM11), it’s as glitchy as an 8086 running Windows Vista, and it’s fatter than Chris Farley in the movie Tommy Boy. Why not sell a high-end Android phone instead, or at least along-side it? Do phone makers think there’s no market for it?

Sony Ericsson has had the X10 in the pipes for a while now. We’ve been hearing rumors about it and seeing pictures of its interface for months. The company saw the phones that other manufacturers had in the pipes and realized that by the time those hit the market something more powerful would already be needed. Sony Ericsson took the initiative to think ahead of the competition. Instead of being first to the finish, they decided to make the best possible device they could. They customized the interface, they gave it an insanely awesome 8.1 MP camera, and they made sure it would be released with the latest and greatest processor on the market.

The X10 is the phone that the Android community wants. Yet, no other company has released an Android phone that can rival it. I find this extremely sad considering the amount of time manufacturers have had to come up with their lines of Android based devices.

I beg phone makers to step up their game. No one wants to buy a phone that won’t be able to handle the next major version of Android. Android is all about the infinite customizability (wow, that’s an awesome word) and rapid development of an open, mobile, platform. Why is it that Sony Ericsson is the only company that seems to get this?

The X10 is the fastest, hottest, and most feature packed smartphone to date. Sony Ericsson was patient. Hopefully it’ll pay off. They say you learn from experience. Whoever “they” are, never said the experience had to be your own. The X10 is proof of that. Way to learn from the errors of your competition!

Let the hardware wars begin…

App Review: Bedside 3.0

Jose Salviati — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:30:16 +0000

Like Nyquil’s “nighttime-sniffling-sneezing-coughing…” medicine, the upcoming Bedside 3.0 application is the nighttime, light dimming, sound stopping, music playing, flashlight providing, alarm linking, customizable, amazingly supported must have on your nightstand so you can rest Android application!

I wrote about this application in an earlier article touting its simplicity. Daniel Velazco has done a great job maintaining that simplicity and ease of use while adding functionality. Version 3.0 continues to provide the basics fans of Bedside are accustomed to like a dimmed screen, sound muting and control over color and font while adding several useful features. In the new version the basics are enhanced with greater control over color, text and background, as well as font–five options now compared to only three earlier. This is a new version of Bedside, however, not just a maintenance upgrade with a few modifications; new bells and whistles are plentiful.

Scheduled screen brightness allows you to change the brightness level based on time. If you want your phone to light up bright at 6am as an extra “nudge” to get you out of bed, set it and forget it. For those mornings when you are too tired to open your eyes but you still need to know the time just long press Bedside 3.0 and a voice you configure tells you the time. You can configure speech rate, pitch and language so if you want to be told the current time super fast but in a super slow German pitch, Bedside can do it! Customizable shortcuts now appear on the screen that allow you to configure your favorite music player, alarm, screen brightness and an additional shortcut for whatever else you want one-click access to in the morning. The screen brightness shortcut can be configured to function as a flashlight. I found this feature most helpful! One click and my phone lit up providing more than enough light to help me easily find the power cord to plug in at night or work my way downstairs for a midnight snack without stubbing my toes. I configured the additional shortcut for the Greed application so I was always one-click away from news, flashlight, music and an alarm.

Of course, not receiving notifications throughout the night may insure a restful sleep but it may mean you miss an important SMS message. While Bedside 3.0 continues to allow phone calls, it does, by default, block SMS messages. Unlike earlier versions however 3.0 allows you to disable that default and be notified when you receive a 3am text. The configuration comes complete with a whitelist allowing you to control which contact’s text you want to be notified of overnight and which ones you would just as soon ignore and read in the morning; genius. The list of enhancements and additions doesn’t stop there. Battery status, control over day and weekday formats, 12/24 hour format, auto-start, auto-end and more are all in Bedside 3.0.

Bedside 3.0 will be available for download tomorrow November 6th for $1.49. If you already have the application the download is free. The developer is committed to this application and is very responsive to support issues. You have a cold and want a good night’s sleep, take Nyquil. If all you need is a good nights sleep: download Bedside 3.0, the nighttime, light dimming, sound stopping, music playing, flashlight providing, alarm linking, customizable, amazingly supported must have on your nightstand so you can rest Android application!

This App Was Tested Using: G1/Dream on Android 1.6
Presentation: Simple to use app with no frills but lots of simple to use and configure features.
Value: Price is right. Nothing else that I have seen compares to it. The first (and so far only) app I have purchased!
Stability/Resources: No hanging, no sluggishness, no issues of note.
Bottom Line or “AG Says” - Bedside 3.0 improves on earlier versions without sacrificing quality or performance. This is an app worth purchasing.

ADC2 Results Going Out to Developers

Chuck Falzone — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:46:23 +0000

Twitter is, uhm, all atwitter with Android developers’ reports of receiving word from Google of how they did in the first round of the Android Developer Challenge 2.

You may recall that judging for the first round began in late September, and finished up on October 6. Since then, it’s been stony silence, leading to speculation that the whole thing had been scrapped. Complicating matters, T-Mobile rolled out Android 1.6 right in the middle of first round judging, causing issues with users trying to evaluate ADC2 candidates written for 1.5 (per the contests requirements).

But with results from the first round going out by email today, one can assume that the 2nd round will start soon. In round 2, the ADC2 app should become active again, allowing users to score the top 20 apps in each category from round 1. These scores will be combined with those of a panel of expert judges to determine the winners.

Here’s the email being sent out to semi-finalists. By the way, congratulations to ChickenBrick Studios for Project I.N.F. making it through to round two!

Congratulations! Your application ‘ProjectINF ADC’ was selected by Android users as one of the top 20 in the Arcade category! We’re excited that you chose to participate in the ADC 2 and wish you luck in the final round as your application is evaluated by users and a panel of judges.

For full information on the challenge, please see our official site: http://code.google.com/android/adc/

Thanks,
ADC 2 Support

Update: The ADC 2 judging app has been updated and round 2 apps are being delivered for evaluation. Congrats and good luck to all those who made it to round 2!

By the Way, Verizon’s DROID ERIS Arrives Tomorrow at $99

AndroidGuys — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:08:37 +0000

Official news out of the Verizon camp confirms much of what we’ve been reporting on for the last few weeks. The HTC Droid ERIS goes on sale tomorrow at stores around the country for $99 after a mail-in rebate and a 2-year agreement. Normally, this would be a bigger story, but Verizon’s decided to play it cool with ERIS hype and devote everything to DROID.

DROID ERIS is nearly identical to Sprint’s Hero, also made by HTC. The biggest and most obvious difference being that Verizon’s offering their handset at roughly half the price. Both give customer the ability to customize seven panels of the desktop screen with apps and widgets designed by Google and HTC. As part of Sense, customer can also set up different home screens to reflect on the various needs throughout the day. Preloaded “Scenes” include Home, Work, and Play with a potentially unlimited number of ways to customize them. Final specifications include:

3.2″ capacitive touch screen
Trackball interface
5.0 megapixel camera w/ auto-focus
8 GB microSD expandable to 16GB
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3.5 mm headset connectivity
GPS, digital compass
Android 1.5/HTC Sense

DROID ERIS will be available in Verizon Stores and online at www.verizonwireless.com on starting tomorrow, Nov. 6, for $99.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate (debit card) with a new two-year customer agreement on a voice plan that includes an e-mail feature or e-mail plan.

Here’s a link to Engadget Mobile’s unboxing and gallery.

A Third Verizon Droid Clears the FCC?

Benjamin Rubenstein — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:48:00 +0000

According to an FCC filing, the next Android device for Verizon may be the Saygus (who?) VPhone V1. While this has yet to be confirmed, the evidence is pretty convincing. Saygus’ own web site talks about a third Android device coming to Verizon (link – Unstrung News Analysis).

Apparently the device doesn’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack, though peripherals can be connected via its mini USB port [yawn]. From the available pictures, I find this phone to be a tad on the ugly side. I’m sure the final build will be nice though. After all, it has to live up to Verizon’s standards, doesn’t it? [sarcasm]

Here are the known specs…

Slide out keyboard
3.5″ 800×480 capacitive touchscreen
634MHZ Marvell PXA310 processor
5MP autofocus camera
512MB ROM and 256MB RAM
MicroSD slot
WiFi
Bluetooth
GPS
Accelerometer
Digital compass
FM radio
Front facing camera (for video calls?)

The one thing that excites me about this phone is the front facing camera. I’ve always said that implementing video chat has to be a priority for phone makers. I guess it may soon be a reality.

For more pictures, head on over to SlashGear.

More Samsung Saturn Details Emerging

AndroidGuys — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:46:58 +0000

The latest Samsung handset find itself sneaking onto the internet is/was the i6500 “Saturn”. On Monday, there was literally nothing to share aside from the fact that it had 802.11b/g WiFi capability. Exciting, right? Tonight, we’ve got a few more details to pass along. From the sounds of it, this one will be similar to the Spica and Galaxy, but could boast the 800MHz chip common in recent models. According to GSM Arena, the Saturn could/should be running Android 2.0 when it arrives in 2010. Makes sense to us.

Here are a couple of unofficial and tentative specs compiled so far:

3.2″ 320×480 screen
Android 1.5
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3.5 mm headphone jack
microSD slot

Again, nothing has been announced yet and everything we’re looking at is being put together and/or assumed based off of current Samsung trends.

Check it Out! It’s an Unboxed DROID Eris!

AndroidGuys — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:50:48 +0000

There’s not much more to say aside from the headline. Boy Genius Report has a tipster who scored an HTC Droid Eris from who-knows-where and has a few pictures from an unboxing. We grabbed two that we liked and listed them here. Warning: The entire gallery is only 5 shots so don’t head there expecting to see the phone from every angle.

What does BGR’s tipster say about the phone? “…the phone is thinner and lighter than the Sprint HTC Hero, feels much better in the hand, and is generally the best Android device besides the Motorola DROID our connect has used.”

That’s all we needed to hear!
