Dear Google,
the name change of the Android Markets, "Google Store Play" , which will offer not only apps now also movies, music and books that we have and I have noticed. About the name is debatable, of course, to me it is in principle no matter what is the name now because of the shed where I draw the apps (and in future films, music) and let my money. Uh, wait: make money?
There has long been rumored that Google is an online storage like DropBox or Microsoft Skydrive works. Now, first there is fairly specific to it. According to the cloud service will shortly be launched. How much memory there is, whether the story is for free or you cash it needs to lie down, is unfortunately not yet known. There are only statements by the Wall Street Journal , that is soon release.
I would be happy to introduce such a service very much, especially since I am a customer and publish Android Google Android App is certainly one. So we wait a few days or weeks, then we know more.

My friends have warned me. "I'm not happy with my LG." - "I would not buy LG anymore.". I said no, I buy the thing. Talking about the LG Optimus Speed, which I at 1 April has risen. On a beautiful device: Good workmanship, fast, Android, nice display. In principle, everything is great. Granted, the fun was not very favorable: Proud € 450 I put it on the table. A whole pile of money for me. That's why I'm even more disappointed.
Do not get me wrong, the LG Optimus Speed is a really good phone. But what comes to me enormously to the pointer, the policy update from LG. For there is, except for a little update on what verschlimmbessert with me everything is nothing, even though the manufacturer, LG, Gingerbread has been promised. Stupid White without of course giving time. The court could only give out in the fall of Gingerbread.
BREAKING NEWS: ANDROID HAS A SECURITY BREACH! EVERY SECOND ANDROIDGERÄT AFFECTED!
One logs into an open wireless network, so it's attackers (no, we call them> hackers', which sounds simple euphoric), possible to read the traffic! This is madness!
Time, be honest: Who thought because really, that is private to an open network? Ever since Google Street View with their carts pulled through the country, would surely everyone know that you can read along data from unencrypted networks. This is super simple, appropriate software can be found on the web.
Granted, the whole truth was not what I wrote. But in many news reports, the above is actually sold as a security issue. The truth is this: You sit in Starbucks and logs in the open Starbucks Wi-Fi. If you have been drinking coffee there and logged into the branch network, we see Android the power again and the login is done automatically. A is convenient das. Androidgerät would not be a Androidgerät, it would not do the following: If one uses the phone, one is constantly logged into his Google account. At least then, if you created one. If you are logging in with the account, then sent to Google's login information is encrypted using an HTTPS connection. The fatal happens then: You get one authToken of the Google servers. It is used to authenticate with Google services. The crux of the matter: Communication with the Google service itself is done without encryption. A Hacker can intercept the token and impersonate you. And, consequently, log into your Google services (Calendar, Contacts, ...) and rumwuscheln.
Google responded: It is working to ensure that the connection with the remaining services also encrypt is done. Therefore it needs an update: Stupid is the way to the Android updates and yes such a thing. Gets to the end of each smartphone owners the update can take several months, when the user receives the update at all. The manufacturers are rather lame.
What am so upset about the whole thing: The media will again spread half-truths that will help the user in principle and not confuse him even more. Sure, the thing with the unencrypted Google services should be fixed. This is beyond question. But the "danger" with the open wireless networks can be safely deleted from the articles.
Have you heard? Alleged KML files, according to LG plans probably a new Android smartphone. That would actually not really a news worthy, in this case is different: The new phone is probably a true HD display with a resolution have, namely 720 × px 1280th Granted, right fat, that's not true HD, but at least 720p. And more need for a cell phone you probably do not. For the time being, this is so. Beweispic? Did you here:
It refers to the way a KML file into the database from LG. Although everything in this file is defined, although doubts exist because: So far no manufacturer has built such a high resolution display in its smartphones. Standard will probably soon be a QHD resolution, namely 960 x 540 px. 720 × 1280 px would be unique and would again push LG in the mobile market.
Still others assume it could be here for a tablet. That would not fit but the model name that starts with a P and not, as is usual with LG's tablets, with a V.
We can only wonder what will happen. So far, one can generally at least ever hold that LG did a great job this year, when it comes to mobile devices.

One or the other probably already know about it: The mail order company selling just the Pearl Palm Pre for just 150 €. Not much for a smartphone that has not tasted a few weeks ago a lot more coal. Since then Palm was almost bankrupt, however, and HP, the company had snapped under the nail, they knew well produced with many pre's nothing to catch more.
A real chunk, the Galaxy from Samsung. The 4-inch display makes the smartphone into a real Klopper. I personally prefer 3.7-inch, 4 are too large. The thought is too many, why Samsung would probably throw a mini version of the popular Gamaxy S on the market. S5830 is probably the model name, and images are also already appeared .
As you can see the little pictures, it looks very similar to the iPhone 4 well. But I am also not a problem. Besides a few hardware specs but is no longer known. Bluetooth is here, as well as Wi-Fi, microSD slot, a 3.5 mm jack, micro USB, a 5 megapixel camera with little light. Android 2.2.1 and will probably run on it. So all total less spectacular.
Officially, the S5830 aka mini Galaxy probably at MWC, the 14th of. - 17 Will take place February in Barcelona.
My God, how long I have wanted to buy a Androidgerät. But somehow I can not find the perfect device. Especially when one thing bothers me, Android: The variety of user interfaces. Sure, a fancy presentation is great. How pretty is HTC Sense! But all these customizations have one big disadvantage: they require a deeper engagement in the system, so many different Androidversionen cavort on the market. Ergo, the updates come not directly from Google, but from the phone manufacturer themselves, in the example HTC.
Unfortunately, it is meanwhile so that messages appear again from time to time bugs or vulnerabilities in Android. It really is not that bad. Android was indeed written by men, and no one is perfect. Normally this would just be sending out an update and the matter is eaten. But not so with Android. Through the GUI customizations, you can not relate the updates directly from Google, but from the phone manufacturer. And take your time. Vieeeel time. In defense it must be said also that Google is not as fast. The SMS bug is already known for a year.
And it is this fragmentation of Android is what keeps me far from the system. I mean what's the point? If I buy a smartphone, I would like to receive updates. Especially in this day and age where you have open systems, which offers plenty of potential for criminals. That's why I advocate it, buy a Androidgerät without adjustments. Stupid, the choice is there not very large: In addition to the in-house Google Phone Nexus (S), provides only Huawei my opinion, this "service" (yes, it is quite a service, if you take a "naked" OS has).
Let's see what happens in the future. Is Google itself has already identified the problem and plans to offer over the next few releases a fresh GUI, make the adjustments on the part of producers unnecessary. That would be really great!
Consistent with the last article in that I have presented a pretty cool commercial, I thought I'd ask you before the Motorola DroidX times closer - though it is not yet on the market in Germany. For a few days, the Droid from U.S. network operator Verizon Wireless is sold. Even with the contract costs that thing still $ 200 per month for the $ 30 data plan due. This is without doubt a lot of money. But, perhaps the professional coal is even justified?
While not the super wave, but I find the following promotional clip super-chic, and I think he must be shown. It is a promotional clip from Motorola by the Droid X is shown. Explicitly addresses the tethering feature. The function that the iPhone does not have. Perhaps that is why only this function is shown? Well, whatever. At least that's a pretty cool spot:
