Nexus 1 gets Android 2.3.4 OTA upgrade

 Thanks to Android for its stock build, Nexus One still in near to the top of list, when it comes to receiving the latest Android updates from Google. Some of the newer features on Google's open source OS have to be eliminated. For example, while Nexus S users received Google Talk voice and video chat with their update to Android 2.3.4, N-One users will soon get an OTA update to the same Android build minus the Google Talk features. The reason for the lack of video chat on the Nexus One is simple. The phone was launched at a time when front-facing cameras were basically non-existent.

 The update will also improve's the life of battery, also N-One along with improved accuracy for the phone's location tracking services. Some owners of the device complained about the loss of accuracy using the phone's GPS application after Android 2.3.3 was installed.

 It Seems that Samsung wants really a leader of the tablet business - it's hard to see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 announcements at CTIA 2011 as anything else but it proves that Korean manufacturers really focused on the tablet market.

 Back in this March, these devices made headlines with their slimness (8.6 mm) - as a matter of fact, that's even thinner than the impressively slim iPad 2 ..

 Fair enough, it's not very informative about the tablet's capabilities. The Wi-Fi version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is set to launch on June 8 - with 16GB model will priced at  $469, and the 32GB  priced at $569.

HTC EVO 3D

 An  memo circulating internally through Best Buy stores ,which states that the HTC EVO 3D can be pre-ordered from the big box retailer starting today. Reps cannot mention the device until it is officially announced yet. Customers must come into the store and ask about the phone and the pre-order in order to reserve an HTC EVO 3D. Otherwise, as the memo says, "mum's the word".

  Well, right off the bat the this device is powered by Android 2.3 and under the hood with 1.2GHz Snapdragon dual-core processor. The EVO 3D has a display of 4.3 inch screen which gives you a good look at the 3D pictures that you can take with the dual 5MP cameras on the back. And, as the memo says, it is the first handset pre-loaded with the 3D version of the Blockbuster onDemand app.

  Remember, this is all secret stuff. So if you plan on going down to your local Best Buy to pre-order the HTC EVO 3D, just remember to whisper. And to wrap things up, we still do not have any launch and date or price from Sprint for the device. The HTC EVO 3D is expected to be released expected  this summer which means it will be at least another 6 weeks until you have the phone in your hands. Just don't forget to act surprised when you get it.

First nDrive data-free navigation solution for webOS 2.0

 

 There are so many solutions for GPS build  mobile device. They carries-specific ones, like VZ Navigator, or the free Google Maps Navigation for Android devices. But, until last week, web OS 2.0 has lacked a data-less solution. The 'nDrive' data-less solution is good because it stores all the maps on your device, so you only need GPS signal to receive route guidance.

 If you are using gprs data-derived GPS on your device, you know that the data connection can sometimes wane, and you're left wondering what to do next. But a data-less solution doesn't have that problem. When you are connected to your any network, then 'nDrive' offers weather alerts, route sharing, and support for Facebook Places and Foursquare.

  You can also take the 'nDrive' GPS solution with you internationally, without needing to purchase data service. But international maps will cost you extra, above the already daunting US$49 pricetag. But if this is in lieu of a standalone unit, you're still getting a pretty good deal.
