Google today has finally brought the popular Android app named Google Goggles to the iPhone. Google Goggles was first introduced for Android platform in December last year.
Everybody’s favorite consumer-stats-collecting organization The Nielsen Company has gathered some very interesting data about the most popular mobile operating systems by analyzing how many handsets (of each OS) people bought in the last six months.
Android-based smartphones have their screen resolutions, even of the highest-end sets, limited at 800 (or 854) x 480 pixels. That includes the current top-of-the-line EVO 4G, Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S and Nexus One.
Let me get this straight outta the gate: Google’s Android mobile OS is coming soon to iPhone 4!! Android can already run on iPhone EDGE (2G), 3G and iPod touch. The ports don’t work as well as they should do. since iPhone and Android don’t go along well (power management not optimized, iPhone’s battery drops to zero within a few hours) but it’s definitely great if you want to try out the so called open-ness of Android.
The Stereoscopic 3D experience is coming soon to iOS devices and Android! It’s not going to be native three-dimensional video but still offers similar results and the cool thing is: you won’t have to wear those hideous polarized glasses!
Did you know? Apple is worth more than Microsoft! As of writing, Apple is worth a whopping $262.53 billion dollars while Microsoft: $212B. One of the bigger reasons for its increasing stock worth is the iPhone - a smartphone introduced back in 2007 that literally revolutionized the cell phone market. Today, the iPhone is used as a benchmark, as a standard by which the quality of other phones are measured.
Google’s very own smartphone and current developer device - the Nexus One - is now receiving an OTA update for Android 2.2.1 (Build FRG83). It is unclear at the moment what the update does, but it is safe to say that it probably fixes bugs and improves general stability. It does, however, remove the ability to perform one-click rooting.
Included among the new features of the HTC Desire Z / Desire HD is the updated Sense UI. Besides the little tweaks in the interface, the updated Sense also brings a super-fast 5 second boot time. The tech is called “HTC Fast Boot” and is exclusive to the newly announced phones.
We just love the way how HTC comes up with quality handsets: Nexus One, HTC HD2, HTC Desire and the EVO 4G are prime examples of this. And to push that limit even further, HTC has just announced at their event in London two new Android powered phones: HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z. Both smartphones pack the hardware which we always wanted! Also introduced is a new service from HTC called HTCSense.com, details after the break.
While this is no complete port (like Android was to iPhone), it is still apparently newsworthy. iSpazio picked this video up which shows a near-perfect iOS clone running on the HTC T-Mobile myTouch 3G (horrible name, btw).
