Fall in love with your phone and enjoy an Ice Cream Sandwich

Oct 19
2011

Finally!!! The new Nexus is here and I’m soo excited about it.
Could you imagine a hybrid between a phone and a tablet? That’s the new Galaxy Nexus. Amazing device, slim and curved with a heart made of an Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest Android version.

If you could really fall in love with a decive, you would definitely fall in love with this one.

Some of the amazing features:

- The home screen includes re-sizable widgets for apps and a simple swipe action to clear notifications
- To let users monitor data usage, ICS includes a reporting feature with data breakdowns and controls.
- Touch to beam: there’s a new feature called “beam” that lets you share things with friends using NFC technology. You just need to put 2 Galaxy nexus together in order to share whatever it is on your phone. From a YouTube video to a contact.
- Speech-to-text functionality to dictate. Words will magically appear on the device’s screen. I love this feature because I hate the keyboard on the screen. I’m much slower so this will solve that issue!
- In the security realm, there is a device unlock feature via facial recognition.
- Lots of new improvements have also been made on the camera app.
- One of my favs: when you receive a call you can pick it up, hang up or… you can inmediately text that person with a message like: I’ll call you later. I’ve named this feature the apologetic hang up.

If the words are not enough and you want to see it…

In love with Google Music

Jun 04
2011

Yes, I’m in love. I can finally say it.

Since I first tried Google Music… I don’t know what iTunes is anymore.

Google Music is the new way to listen to your music. You simply upload your music from your computer/s to the cloud. Yes, computers. You can sync up to 8 computers or Android devices.

Once, you’ve uploaded everything… voilá.

You may be wondering… I can listen to my music as I’ve always done! iTunes, Windows Media, Winamp…. and you’re right.
However, can you listen to you music from any computer in the world or from your mobile phone?
Now you can do it easily by simply logging in to your Google account.

What is also amazing is the Android App. You can even listen to your music when you don’t have internet connection!!!!

But love isn’t perfect and I’m missing 2 important features:
- Transfer the music to my iPod
- Download the music! Since I have 3 computers synced I would love to able to download my tunes from Google Music to any of my computers.

But well… let’s see how the future looks like for Google Music!

Nokia joining forces with Microsoft. Ha!

Feb 11
2011

Two turkeys does not make an eagle! What a great phrase and so perfect to illustrate the situation!

With this deal, Nokia confirms that its own platforms, Symbian and Meego, will be tossed onto the bin.
However, is it Windows Mobile a good choice? Do they really think they can compete agains iPhone and Android? Mmmm, I have my doubts.
My hopes were in a Nokia-Android phone. That could be a super phone!

I’ve been a Nokia user for many years until I switched to Android with our first Google Nexus. Nokia has always offered great quality but now they’re just missing the right platform. Android was the platform!!

Again…. this is just my humble opinion but Microsoft?? Really??

Bye bye iPad!

Feb 03
2011

And although I’ve always declared myself Apple’s Fan, you got to admit it… Android Honeycomb is much better (in my opinion)

First, is an open system, it’s fast, efficient, even easier to use and offers total integration with Google Products.
Taking into account that you are probably using a Gmail account, maybe Calendar or Google Docs, Google Maps, Google Books etc. etc. I believe a system that allows you an easy integration for those is great!
What do you want your tablet for? Navigate! Browsing made simple right?

And let’s be honest… how many times do you visit Google.com (or your local domain)? What about YouTube?
iPad was the first and thank you Steve for that great mind of yours, but Android tablets… that’s the future.
As competition is one of the best things that could happen to the final customer, I’m looking forward to see the new version of the iPad. Can you imagine how the future tablets will be? This is just the beginning!
