Samsung Galaxy S Pro With Keyboard Rumored

There are touchscreen only fans and hardware keyboard fans and some folks are adamant about having it one way or another. That’s why when an amazing mobile phone like the Motorola Droid – or in this case the Samsung Galaxy S – are announced, one knee-jerk reaction is to wonder what the phone would be like if they offered an alternate version. We’re all familiar with the practice of adding a slideout QWERTY and slapping a “Pro” on to the end of the name, and that is exactly what HDBlog.it are suggesting will happen with the Samsung Galaxy S. The above picture is only a mock-up and is NOT real. But, rumor has it a phone that looks very similar to the Galaxy S will add the keyboard and start selling in late summer, after the original S has been on the market a couple months. Is there any truth to the rumor? No way of knowing. Would you be happy if the rumor came true? Different question completely… and one that I’d love for YOU to answer. by Rob Jackson on March 30th, 2010 Sumber : Ph

About 13 hours ago Barb Dybwad 5 Buzz this! 11 119 Share email share The CTIA Wireless Association’s annual Las Vegas mobile-centric show has wrapped up for this year, and a few key trends emerged. We wanted to bring you some of the high points from the show that shed light on what’s hot now as well as what’s on the horizon in mobile in the near near future. Overall, the trend of convergence between mobile devices and the internet not only continues, but is accelerating. We saw lots of shiny new phones of course, but we’re also hearing a lot more about environments like the car becoming increasingly connected. Tablets and smartbooks add to the array of devices we’ll need data plans for, and cell carriers will need to begin addressing a heterogeny of devices and platforms that single consumers need to get connected. Read on for some of the bigger trends the wireless industry is concerning itself with today and down the next few years of the mobile roadmap. 4G Next-Generation Wireless

Smartphone traffic is up 193% in a year

Led by iPhone and the Androids. Traffic from the iPod touch is growing even faster. Click to enlarge. Source: AdMob Smartphone traffic is up. Feature phone share is down. And traffic from mobile Internet devices (like the iPod touch) that don't have built-in phones is booming — even before Apple releases the iPad. That's the thrust of the the latest report by AdMob, the mobile advertising network snapped up last fall by Google ( GOOG ) before Apple ( AAPL ) could buy it. In this month's report, AdMob compares February 2009 with February 2010 in the three categories of mobile devices it serves. The bottom line: Smartphones (like the iPhone): Up 193% year over year in absolute terms as their share of AdMob's traffic in an expanding market grew from 35% to 48% Feature phones (like most Samsung, Nokia and LG phones): Up 31% in absolute terms as the mobile Internet space expanded. But their share of AdMob's traffic fell from 58% to 35% Mobile Internet

Dell Launches 'World's Lightest' Android Smartphone

Look familiar? Yes, Dell is bringing its Android-based Mini 3i smartphone to the West and has performed some welcome nip and tucks. Now dubbed the Dell 'Aero' the handset is claimed to be the lightest Android phone to date - though with this being the case, as usual Dell has not revealed exactly how much the Aero weighs so we can check its facts. So aside from this mysterious resistance to gravity what else do we know? Well for a start it carries over the 3.5in display with a 640 x 360 pixel resolution, ups the camera seen on the Mini 3i from three to 5MP, has 3G, GPS and WiFi and while Dell also refuses to just leave Android alone , the skin looks tolerable with native Picasa, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and Twitpic integration. When will we get it in the UK/Europe? At this stage we simply don't know, but I suspect it will largely depend on how network negotiations go. Grey imports do seem likely though, so if you're interested in owning the lightest A

HTC EVO 4G is Sprint's Android-powered knight in superphone armor, we go hands-on

We've been rumoring a WiMAX " HTC Supersonic " for a while now, and Sprint just dropped the hard news: the phone will be dubbed the HTC EVO 4G, will be released this Summer and it's easily the best specced phone we've ever witnessed. The hardware is of quite obvious HD2 descent, but with Android onboard and some nice aesthetic tweaks, the EVO 4G takes on a life of its own. The handset is centered around a 480 x 800 4.3-inch TFT LCD, with a Snapdragon QSD8650 1GHz processor under the hood (the CDMA version of the QSD8250 in the HD2 and Nexus One), and even a helpful 1GB of built-in memory and 512MB of RAM -- hello app storage! Even the battery is bigger than the HD2, and the camera is an 8 megapixel monstrosity with flash, that's capable of 720p video, and is augmented by a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for good measure. The phone features HDMI out (though you'll need an adapter for turning it into a TV-

Myriad Tool Converts Java Apps for Android Phones

Mobile software company Myriad Group announced J2Android, which will make it possible for Java-based mobile applications to run on Android-based phones, the company said on Monday. The J2Android tool converts existing Java applications, including games, to run on Dalvik, which is the virtual machine used on all Android devices. Besides converting the application, J2Android will let the application be rescaled to fit the screen of the Android device, according to Simon Wilkinson, CEO at Myriad. It can also add softkeys, if the original application was developed for phones with a numerical keypad, Wilkinson said. Anyone with a large library of Java-based applications can use J2Android to make those applications available for Android-based smartphones. Currently, J2Android is being tested by "one of the biggest European operators and a number of major content vendors," according to Wilkinson, who can't say which ones. The boon for Android users wi

Samsung Tablet To Sport Android And 4G Connectivity?

This is still unconfirmed at the moment, but word is going around that the recently mentioned Samsung tablet might be powered by Google’s Android OS instead of some edition of Microsoft’s Windows 7. To make the deal even juicier, apparently the device could feature calling via a headset, possibly with some implementation of VoIP, 3G and perhaps even 4G connectivity. Nothing is set in stone at the moment, so we’ll have to keep an eye on this. If it were up to you, what specifications would you give the Samsung tablet?

Indie Coder Proves Android Apps Can Make Money, Too

By Brian X. Chen March 3, 2010 | 4:04 pm | Categories: Phones While visiting Japan in September, 26-year-old Stanford graduate Eddie Kim picked up a book about coding Android apps because he thought it might be a fun hobby. Little did he know that six months later, his casual creation would earn him more money than any of his full-time jobs. Kim, a former Volkswagen engineer and co-founder of San Francisco-based startup Picwing, now earns $13,000 each month off an Android app called Car Locator (right), which helps users find their parked cars. Kim’s app, which he sells for $4 per download, took him only three weeks to code. “I thought about making an app for the iPho
