GOOGLES ANDROIDS BASED CELLPHONES: TAking OvEr The MoBilE PHone MarKeTplace LikE WildfiRE

It's no secret that Google  wishes to dominate the Cell Phone Marketplace with its GOOGLES ANDROIDS application.

Latest figures reveals that the product sales of Google's Android Phones have over run mobile phones with the Microsoft Windows application.

Product sales of smart phones that exploit the Android application have stole about 10% of mobile phones sold worldwide.  Furthermore this simply the results in the 1st quarter of this year.  We are reminded that this is a huge boost on the 1.6 market share Google it grasped last year at this time.  Windows Mobile based  phones were not as popular by users in the same time period.  The truth is, Windows Mobile Devices product sales that had  accounted for 6.8 per cent of all handset sales in the same period are now  behind from 10.2 per cent in the first quarter of last year.

Also, earlier this month, the  analyst firm, NPD Group, revealed that handsets with the Googles Androids application accounted for 28 per cent of all mobile handsets sales in North America.  Now compare this to the Apple iPhone's 21 per cent marketplace share.   In contrast, BlackBerry devices (made by Research in Motion (RIM), continue to dominate.  Actually, RIM owns 36% of the smart phone market in the US, in the 1st of 2010.

Googles Androids are rather fresh on the cell phone scene however they have been taking over like a storm.  The figures reveals that  handsets with  Googles Androids platform are being purchased at astonishing rates.  Take into account that the actual initial Google Android based processors merely went on sale in October of 2008.  Since that time scores of additional phone manufacturers have touted the Android application, including such corporations as HTC, Motorola and Sony Ericson.  According to Google's chief executive, Eric Schmidt Android mobile phones are being shipped at a rate of 60,000 per day.

Analyst Caroling Milanesi who is employed by Gartner thinks that this upward  momentum is the direct outcome of intensive advertising.  This marketing is evident when you go on the internet.  It seems like every internet site you look at that uses Google's Adsense, is running ads for mobile phones that come with the Google  Android platform.

To be honest, Google has the monopoly on advertising in the world.  It has in a awfully brief period branded the Google Android.  There appears little that its rivals can do to slow them down at this time.  We expect Googles Androids to be a household name in 2010.

Hacker FINDS WAY INTO THE iPHONE INSTALLS GOOGLE'S ANDROID!

Hacker and programmer David Wang has at last done it. He has breached the closed source code on Apple's iPhone.  Wang has effectively booted the iphone with Google's Android.

This is quite an feat: booting Google's Android os on Apple's iPhone

Wang, full fledged member of the a unit referred to as "The Dev Team," that  is committed to hacking iPhones.  Just last week he posted a video revealing the Googles Androids on an iPhone.

The video displays the booting process complete with the Tux Linux mascot.  Furthermore it reveals Wang incorporating the Google Droid for surfing the internet, getting a text message, answering a phone call and playing music. Wang has the iPhone set up with a dual-boot configuration.  You can observe this as Wang begins the video with the iPhoine running on its OS.

Wang readily admits that his hack is not production-quality at this time.  He claims that the hack is still in its Alpha phase but he asserts that the whole thing works regarding functionality. 

Wang's Google Droid hack on the iPhone is quite a technological feat  Some argue it won't transform the industry nor the behavior of mainstream end users.  The one notable thing Wangs hack does demonstrate is that the iPhone can be hacked even with its grasp on the source code.

Wang remarks that he has been  working on his patch since 2008.  The video he employs to display his victorious hack is made with a first-generation iPhone.  Nonetheless, new iPhones are also prone to be breached by this hack.

Wang claims that it should be simple to port ahead to the iPhone 3G.  He readily admits that the 3GS will take extra work however.  Wang's wish is to make the Google Droid a viable alternative or supplement for the iPhone and perhaps we can at last include Flash.

GOOGLES ANDROIDS: Motorola Backflip Review

http://googlesandroids.com/new-motorola-backflip-android-phone-att-review/http://googlesandroids.com/new-motorola-backflip-android-phone-att-review/Reviewed by Daniio Lannine at wikio.com


Motorola BACKFLIP is a new released 3G-enabled, Google's Android OS-powered smartphone with MOTOBLUR social networking, 3.1-inch touchscreen, it has unique reverse flip design reveals full QWERTY keyboard, BACKTRACK touch pad for navigation without using touch display. The phone boasts GPS-enabled, Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth stereo music, 5-megapixel camera/camcorder, microSD memory expansion, personal and corporate e-mail. It offers Up to 6 hours of talk time, up to 324 hours (13.5 days) of standby time. People are very happy with such a phone.

Good thing is, the Motorola BACKFLIP Android Phone is hotter and hotter, now more and more people are falling in love with it, so I think I should share it with you guys today. Well, let’s find out more about this phone.

Powered by the Android OS and featuring the socially minded MOTOBLUR overlay, the Motorola BACKFLIP for AT&T features an original reverse flip design, 3.1-inch touchscreen display, spacious physical keyboard, and unique BACKTRACK touch panel located behind the screen when the device is folded open–providing you hands-free navigation of the phone without having to touch the display. The phone also boasts super-fast Web browsing on AT&T’s 7.2 HSPA 3G technology as well as Wi-Fi networking with access to more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots.

The Motorola Backflip is no longer a rumor, and I was there at CES for the official unveiling.

This smartphone isn't what I'd consider cutting edge, but it does break new ground in one area: design. It sports an unusual shape with a flip-around keyboard and a touchpanel behind its screen.

It runs Google's Android OS, and features the MotoBlur software suite, designed to make this device more appealing to fans of social networking.

I got some time with a pre-release version of the Backflip while I was at CES, and I put together a video overview as well as my early impressions.

Hardware

There are two features that set the design of the Motorola Backflip apart from the crowd, for good or ill.

The touchpanel behind its screen -- dubbed the Backtrack -- is one of the best innovations I've seen in smartphone design in some time.

It's a feature that I understood how to use the second I picked up the device, and one that I now wish I had on my current phone.

It's a trackpad, but it functions more like a 5-way control button. You move your finger around on it, and that jumps you between items that can be selected on the screen.

Unlike most trackpads on smartphones, it can be used with either hand. Plus it is quite large because it's in a space that generally goes unused.

The Backtrack isn't your only control option; the Backflip's display is a touchscreen.

I'm not as sanguine about this smartphone's other new feature, the reverse-flip keyboard. It seems to have all the disadvantages of a more standard clamshell design, but just some of the advantages.

I like that the Backflip can sit on a desk or table with its screen flipped up at an angle, making it easier to watch a movie. By default, when the put this device into this configuration, it runs Android's suite of "bedside" software, with an alarm clock, music player, etc.

However, the fact that the keyboard is always exposed is... odd. When the device is closed, the keyboard is on the back. (The keys are deactivated, though, so don't start thinking you're going to learn to type backward.) And when the Backflip has its screen flipped up, like in the picture above, it's sitting on its keyboard.

This Motorola device's other hardware features are fairly average: a microSD memory card slot, 5 MPx camera, a GPS receiver, and a 3.5mm headset jack.

It is also going to have 3G mobile broadband (HSDPA 7.2 Mbps), Wi-Fi b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo.

Software

The Backflip will likely launch with Android 1.5, but Motorola says an upgrade to Android 2.1 will be coming at some point.

Another feature that differentiates this from non-Motorola smartphones is MotoBlur, a software suite for Android which gives easy access to consumer and business e-mail accounts, as well as social-networking services like Facebook and Twitter. I'm a fan of MotoBlur, which also appears on the Motorola Cliq, though I haven't had as much time to spend with it as I'd like.

Availability

The Motorola Backflip is scheduled to debut in the first quarter of this year in N. America, Europe, and Asia. However, so far none of the carriers that will be offering it have been named.

According to unconfirmed reports, though, this will be one of AT&T's first Android-based smartphones.

Pricing for the Backflip is not yet known, and will certainly vary between carriers that offer it.
