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

Oct 19

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…

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??
