T-Mobile Android might sell for $199

Posted: 17 Sep 2008 10:23 PM CDT

Well we heard that the iphone will sell for $199 too, so I wouldnt hold my breath just yet. But if The Wall Street Journal is anything to go by then we might get an Android device for $199 and it would require you to have a service contract with T-Mobile USA.

Puluwai 0.9 beta - real estate search application for Android

Posted: 31 Aug 2008 06:19 AM CDT

Puluwai

Puluwai is a simple, easy-to-use mobile real estate search application for Android. It allows you to search a worldwide database of current real estate property listings. You can specify a location, a price range, number of bedrooms, and critical keywords that you’re seeking.

Be sure to use the menu button! Many useful features of the application are accessible on each screen via this button.

* Any location format supported by the well-known Google Maps interface is also supported by Puluwai. You can enter a street address such as “53-3858 Hiwahiwa Street, Kapaau HI 96755″, a latitude, longitude pair as “37.460,-122.138″ , a major airport code such as SFO or LAX, a city name with a state or country such as “Paris, France”, or simply a ZIP code.
* Clicking the near button on the search page causes Puluwai to find your current latitude and longitude (using the android Location API) and use this as the center of your search.
* The keywords input field is handy for searching the description of real estate listings. For instance, you could enter “ocean” if you desire an ocean view.

Android Market - App Store for android

Posted: 28 Aug 2008 09:18 PM CDT

Android Market

Android Market is an open content distribution system that will help end users find, purchase, download and install various types of content on their Android-powered devices. Developers will be able to make their content available on an open service hosted by Google that features a feedback and rating system similar to YouTube. Content can debut in the marketplace after only three simple steps: register as a merchant, upload and describe your content and publish it. We can expect the first handsets to be enabled with a beta version of Android Market. Some decisions are still being made, but at a minimum you can expect support for free (unpaid) applications. Soon after launch an update will be provided that supports download of paid content and more features such as versioning, multiple device profile support, analytics, etc.

BucketUpload - upload content directly from Android Phone

Posted: 21 Aug 2008 10:40 AM CDT

BucketUpload

BucketUpload is an application for Android Google phone (experimental). It allows uploading files to an Amazon S3 bucket. Files could be images, audios, videos or any documents available on your Android device. BucketUpload provides a file browser able to list folders from local file system, sd card and shared content providers.

Features:
BucketUpload is a Java application for Android compliant smart devices. It allows selecting and uploading files to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. It provides the following features:

* File browser:
End-user could select one or many files to upload with a file browser. It allows to browse folders and subfolders. Files and folders could be selected from device file system, external SD card and shared folders such as images, audio and video.
* Progress bar:
BucketUpload front-end includes a progress bar with current file uploaded, files remaining and transfer rate.
* Cancel upload:
End-user can cancel upload at any time with the “Cancel” button.
* S3 settings:
End-user can setup S3 parameters (bucket name, key identifier and secret key). Permission for file to upload could also be setup thanks to ACL. End-user can select among “private”, “authenticated-read”, “public-read” and “public-read-write”. Default is “private”. All parameters are saved into a private store on the Android device.
* Others:
Even if BucketUpload is designed to run with Amazon S3, it could work with any web server because HTTP upload requests sent are standard. It means that you can use BucketUpload with your own web server too.

Opera Mini - the best mobile browser is also on android

Posted: 21 Aug 2008 10:26 AM CDT

Opera Mini

Opera Mini is a well-known mobile Web browser. This is the first version of Opera browser that runs on Google’s Android open mobile development platform.

The Opera Mini browser renders web pages that have been transcoded to the binary OBML format, meaning much smaller downloads and a faster browsing experience on mobiles, than would be provided by other browsers. The Android WebKit-based browser component has a switch in the public API allowing the use of a transcoding proxy that transcodes web pages to a simpler form of HTML. Whether this is as small and fast as Opera Mini’s OBML remains to be seen.

Known issues:
* Small painting issues
* The Back command isn’t yet mapped to the device back button

GeoMata Client 0.5 alpha - geo-tagged utility for android

Posted: 21 Aug 2008 10:08 AM CDT

GeoMata

GeoMata Client is a part of the GeoMata project, which maps geographic locations to web content (audio, video, html).

The GeoMata project provides an open REST service that maps geographic locations to web content (audio, video, html), and a mobile client for accessing this data. The mapped spots are called “blips”. The GeoMata Android client displays these “blips” either on a map or in list form, sorted by proximity to your current location.

The application might be useful for travelers. Once you are standing next to a monument of some historic person, you can launch GeoMata on your mobile device. GeoMata, using the devices GPS, will provide you with a list of available web content. This might be a Wikipedia page pertaining to the person or monument your looking at.

The hardest part about a service like this is gathering all the data to make this a really useful application. The authors bootstrapped GeoMata with over 140,000 points that link to Wikipedia, which is a good start, but we the system is open and users can add content as well. Users can create a new “blip” right from the device itself, associate it with some web content (can be an audio file, mp4 video or a web page), and share it with the rest of the world.

No Microsoft’s Exchange and Ads on your Phone

Posted: 19 Aug 2008 05:59 AM CDT

HTC’s Android-based Dream phone may not support push-based work mail or ship as soon as expected, according to electronista.com. The device only supports push e-mail through Google’s own Gmail service and that support for Microsoft’s Exchange service isn’t known at the moment.

The phone may take advantage of Google’s dominance of web advertising to lower the cost of the device; those who volunteer to allow ads on their phone may see discounts either on the initial cost of the device or for their monthly subscription fees. These customers will see ads that are based not only on interests revealed through apps but also through the phone’s location. They also suggest the handset may not be available until near the Thanksgiving in November.

Scrambled Net 1.1 - knetwalk on Android

Posted: 16 Aug 2008 05:46 AM CDT

Scrambled Net

Scrambled Net is a port of the KDE game “knetwalk”. Scrambled Net detects the screen size of the device it’s running in, and configures the board appropriately. Portrait and landscape phones are handled automatically. Tile rotation is smoothly animated; highlighted tiles show the user’s progress.

The game is designed to be usable with 12-key keypad or QWERTY keypad, or by tapping the screen.

The game has 5 difficulty levels; the first 3 use different board sizes; then wrap-around is introduced for “Master” level; then “Insane” level adds invisible cells. In case you’re wondering, yes, I can solve “Insane” puzzles, usually in 10-12 minutes on a large (HVGA) phone.
