In most argument the picture I used was this Music Synthesizer application
Today, I came across an Android Paid App called RD3 Groovebox that is in the same domain.
Min REQ : Android 2.1
Resolution: 480×320 (HVGA) or higher
Cost: 3.49 Euro or free trial app
This application looks very competent but looks short of options to what the iPAD Application can do. Nevertheless very impress by the UX from the developer!
Mozilla have pride themselves by being very innovative in their development efforts for their desktop browser.
Their latest offering for the mobile space on Android is the Fennec.
Download Fennec by visiting Firefox.com/m/alpha on your Android device or Nokia N900.
The overall experience have been refreshing but this is not a browser that you can use everyday yet as its an alpha release and is really rough on the edges.
What I like about it is that it has brought all that we liked about Firefox over to the Android
Firefox Sync synchronizes your Firefox history, bookmarks, passwords and tabs
between your desktop and mobile
Add-ons are available to customize the functionality and look of your Firefox
Personalized Start page lets you pick up where you left off on your desktop
Awesome Screen gets to know you and takes you to your favorite websites with minimal typing
Pinch-to-zoom (Android), double-tab, or use the volume rocker (Nokia N900) to zoom in and out
Tabbed browsing in thumbnail view lets you easily see and select the site you want
Location-Aware Browsing gives you content and info relevant to your location
Save to PDF, Find In Page, Forget Password, Send Page and Add Search Engine located in the Site Menu all help you manage your preferences and options for each site you’re on
Context Menu lets you Open in New Tab and Share by long tapping and holding a link or image
Someone at Gizmodo France recently ran into this problem with their own Galaxy S, and rather than shrug the mishap off with a bit of frustration, they contacted Samsung, and received a strange response.
What did toubleshooters discover? Hooking a Galaxy S up to a computer via USB is just fine, unless the gadget is host to a file or files with an extension exceeding 15 characters. Wow. Who makes a file with a 16-character extension? Seesmic, apparently (Google Translate link). Deleting the culprit file fixed the odd bug.
How plausible is this? A lot of people uses Seesmic!
If you have an Android Device but yet are jealous of the very nice preview brought about by Palm Pre’s Cards switching, Visual Task Switcher could be the solution.
Basically it tries to emulate Palm Pre’s Cards Effect to preview latest background programs to enable fast app switching.
This will seriously improve your productivity I feel.
It is Available on the Android Market FREE (ADs Supported)
This is how it looks like. The software is alittle rough on the edges but is highly usable.
You have 2 hard button options to tie to: Home button press or Long Search press. For me I prefer the Long Search Press.
Great Design focusing on User Experience really grabs you.
The Astonishing Tribe is an astonishing company behind some great UI designs on the Android and other platforms.
Today, I saw a clip that shows their UX design on the MEEGO platform (and possibly Android) and it blows me away how smooth and sensible such a UI design can be.
Granted, not everyone will appreciate it but great standard UI toolkits are built upon these great ideas.
Now we know that iPad doesn’t come with a stylus, as Steve Jobs just don’t think a stylus would work.
But can your iPAD really replace the desktop drawing softwares like Corel Draw?
Here is a demo of a USD 8.00 application that shows this guy doing that at the iOSDevCamp.
I am no art student but the pictures that he is able to sketch are pretty stunning! This goes to show that Tablet can really handle a lot of the things we can only do on a desktop:
Excel, Spreadsheet editing
Powerpoint Editing
Drawing
Server Administration
This would probably mean that desktop sales in the future will fall to a terminal amount as the lines of smartphone, tablet and desktop continues to blur
I don’t really want to take all the credit here but, back in January this guy came up with the most comprehensive visual guide on how to install Eclipse, Java SDK and Android SDK and configuring it to develop Android Software.
Do hop on over his site if you are new to Android and want to learn how to set it up.
There are many ways to develop for Android and because of all the options it is sometimes a little daunting getting your environment setup. I found myself bouncing from web page to web page, not really sure if I had the right tools and if they were setup correctly. I wanted to document the process that worked for me. Goal: Step by step instructions to install and configure your Android development environment for Windows. Environment/tools: Here is the setup I have chosen to use.
Windows (I’m using Windows 7, but any flavor of windows will do)
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (v3.5 Galileo)
Java Platform (JDK 6 Update 18)
Android SDK Tools, Revision 4
Step 1. Install Eclipse IDE
I chose to use the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (v3.5 Galileo). You can download the it here
