Tips, tricks and Getting started with new Android phone

Switching to Android: Be sure to check out this article on getting everything moved over from the walled garden of the iPhone to the open space of Android. If you’re coming from another platform, be sure to check with your wireless carrier to see what kind of backup solutions they have. You can also take your new phone and old phone over to a store of the carrier you’re on; they’ll usually have some tools to help you out.
Apps: Surely, by this point, you know all about apps on Android. We happen to have a full database of apps here, complete with all the info you could ever want. You can also check out our list of top apps by our writers here.
Rooting: You may have heard of the terms “root” or “rooting”, but you may be wondering… what is it? Basically, when you first get your Android device started up and running, you only have basic user access to the file system. Think of it like your computer: you have an administrative user, and a standard user. The user that you are essentially accessing out of the box on your Android phone is like the regular user. What rooting does is give you access to the administrative user. You can also check out a full list of pro’s and con’s here.
Gmail Integration: This is a big one you’ll have to get used to. Almost everything on your Android phone will somehow be tied to your Gmail address, and you have to have one to set up your phone. You’re going to want to check out the Gmail interface if you’ve never used it before, both on your phone and via your computer. If ever you have to change to a different Android phone, all your contacts and previously downloaded apps will be tied to your account, so it’ll be easier to make the switch next time.
Customization: Looking for a cool wallpaper to go along with your cool new Android phone? You can check out our wallpaper forums here (most popular source for Android wallpapers on the web!), and also be sure to check out our top staff picks of our favorite wallpapers.

Android 3.0 Coming January 2011

Android 3.0 the latest software update for the popular mobile operating system owned by Google, is reportedly set to launch in January 2011. Phone and tablets running the operating system have experienced an enormous boom within the past years, leaving consumers and developers’ alike hungry for a new release of the Android operating system.

The newest version of the platform, which is code-named “Gingerbread,” is set to upgrade the existing OS in multiple ways, including new video capabilities and rumored features that incorporate Google TV.
The popular operating system is currently being run by mobile phones built by a variety of different companies, including Samsung, Acer, Motorola, and HTC. Furthermore, Android is now one of the most popular operating systems for new tablet devices. Presently, Google has yet to comment on its upcoming Gingerbread release, though the company has confirmed that the release will be occurring within the next few months. Many have speculated that such a release could be announced at the CES 2011 conference, at the beginning of January.
In spite of all the speculation, some of the features of the new version are widely known. One such addition is video chat, which will support the protocols used by Google Talk. Furthermore, the OS will have the ability to receive Google Talk calls over a Wi-Fi connection. Such features directly challenge similar features in the Apple iPhone 4.0, which was released this past summer.
Additional video capabilities in the new generation of devices include the capability to link the mobile phone with Google TV products. The new operating system will reportedly allow users to control such products with their phone, which essentially operates as a remote control. These rich video and chat features are expected to continue the accelerating market share of Android devices.
Beyond the popular features recognized by casual users of Smartphones and tablets running Google’s operating system, the new Android release is expected to incorporate several features that translate into a faster end-user experience. For example, the new software is reported to have enhanced CPU performance, meaning shorter response times for users. In general, the OS is expected to experience a boost in overall speed, and should offer more power in the hardware department.
