We have been hearing all about the upcoming Google Nexus One phone, including pictures, specs and price, but its hard to believe that not even a single video of the phone existed, until now. Folks over at The Nexus One, who seems to have the phone have managed to capture the device in action, showing the now-famous “X” boot up sequence of Android 2.1 on Nexus One.
The most awaited movie of Christmas 2009 has finally arrived as a game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Based on the film story and developed by Gameloft, James Cameron’s Avatar on the iPhone has great graphics, sound effects and story line that will keep you busy for hours of play. Graphics are stunningly smooth on iPhone 3GS, and there is no reason why the experience shouldn't be same on the iPhone 3G/2G and iPod touch.
Folks over at Sholes.info have managed to port Android 2.1 on Motorola Droid. You can go ahead and try it now but the hacker has a warning placed on his site which states that the current Rom release is unstable and might brick your phone. Earlier this month, Android 2.1 Rom was leaked for HTC Hero with the latest version of Sense UI, fully optimized to run on this latest version of Android.
The folks over at BGR have found out references to iPhone 3.1.3, and the iPhone 4.0 firmware version in their server logs and they seems to be legitimate. While iPhone 3.1.3 will only be a minor release, the 4.0 version certainly denotes a major release version and we can expect it to ship with the next-generation iPhone model sometime in summer 2010. Nothing much is known about about the features that the new firmware is going to offer, but we can expect it to add alot of new features, similar to what was experienced when firmware 3.0 was released.
While analyzing their website logs, BGR has found out something very interesting, related to the upcoming iPhone OS firmware release. Their server logs have clearly shown existence of both iPhone 3.1.3, and the major release - the iPhone 4.0 firmware. While we don't know what new features the new firmware will offer, one thing is for sure that iPhone 3.1.3 firmware is only going to be a minor release for bug fixes and patches.
Here is a head to head comparison between the iPhone 3GS and the upcoming Google phone named as Nexus One. For those of you who don't know, Nexus One been designed by the folks at Google, and the hardware is manufactured by HTC. Nexus One will be powered by the latest version of Android OS and will be sold online by Google, fully unlocked so that you can use it with any carrier you like. It will look alot like HTC Passion/Bravo which is also slated for early 2010 release.
