Satu lagi tablet 7 inci yang siap menggebrak pasar Indonesia tahun depan: Axioo Pico Pad. Tak mau kalah dengan tim nasional yang semalam memukau lewat gocekan bola. Axioo, vendor asal Indonesia dengan prestasi global ini menyihir penggemar gadget berbasis Android dengan tablet yang sudah dilabeli Google certified. Apa artinya? Menurut Budi Wahyu Jati (Director – Corporate Division, Axioo), Pico Pad memampukan pengguna mengakses langsung Google Market dan selalu ter-update dengan berbagai aplikasi baru yang ada di sana. “Kalau [dengan perangkat] yang belum disertifikasi Google, pengguna hanya mengakses situs web yang memang disediakan vendor untuk mengunduh aplikasi,” jelas Budi kepada wartawan di sela-sela acara launching Pico Pad hari ini (30/12) di Jakarta. Selain itu, perangkat yang ditenagai prosesor Qualcomm 600MHz ini dan RAM 512MB ini memiliki keistimewaan berupa menu berbahasa Indonesia dan nuansa batik. “Ini khusus untuk yang ditawarkan ke pengguna Indones...

By Joanna Stern posted Dec 22nd 2010 4:06PM While Acer wasn't willing to let us power on its forthcoming Android tablets at its press event last month , it looks like the company just doesn't have the same kind of control over its partners or employees. Three videos of what appears to be Acer's 10-inch Android tablet have popped up on YouTube, and not only is the slate powered on, but the footage provides a pretty clear look at some of Acer's custom Android apps. The entire UI looks like it's still in a beta stage and the video itself looks like it is some sort of internal test demo -- don't forget Acer is planning to ship these with Honeycomb in April -- but the company seems to be messing around with gyroscope-based page turns and some unique zoom gestures within the p...

Google on Thursday released an updated version of Google Maps for Android that incorporates 3D capabilities and offline access. Since the launch of Google Maps for mobile five years ago, map views have consistently "remained the same: a flat, north-up map and the need for a strong Internet connection," Google said in a blog post . "Today, we're changing that for the first time." Rather than downloading maps as set of small, square images stitched together to form a map, Google Map 5.0 will use vector graphics to dynamically draw a map, Google said. This will allow for tilting when you drag down with two fingers. "Tilt while zoomed in on one of the 100+ cities around the world with 3D buildings to see a skyline spring to life," Google said. Users can also twist with two fingers to rotate, pinch to zoom, and access a compass mode. "Center the map on your location, and then tap the compass button in the top right corner,...

Huawei may be a name not too popular with many, but the company has its presence in devices that you may be using. Like your Tata Photon+ or a similar USB 3G dongle is mostly made by them. But now, the Chinese giant is waving its flag big-time with three Android phone launches in the country one after the other. The first one will be launched this month in the under Rs. 10k bracket - the IDEOS U8150; as Indian Android enthusiast blog Androidos.in reports . It is expected to be priced at under Rs. 8,000 but does not miss out on key features that we really care for - like a 2.8 inch (that's not it), QVGA (nope, no excitement there), "Capacitive" (YES, that's the one) touch-screen. The second sixer the IDEOS U8150 strikes is Android 2.2 (Froyo) at launch, while competing models like the Samsung Galaxy 5 i5500 or even the Micromax Andro still run Android 2.1 with no confidence that they'll ever get updated to 2.2. A worrisome part about this phone is t...

Nexus S (google) Jakarta - Nexus S akan menjadi ponsel Google penerus Nexus One. Ponsel dengan Android Gingerbread ini memiliki spesifikasi mirip Galaxy S. Samsung agaknya sekarang sedang di atas angin dalam hal ponsel Android. Produk unggulannya di ranah ini adalah Galaxy S yang terbukti cukup laris. Seperti diumumkan dalam blog resmi Google, Selasa (7/12/2010), Samsung pun akhirnya secara resmi diperkenalkan sebagai rekanan Google dalam membuat Nexus S. Seperti apa spesifikasi Nexus S? Berikut adalah beberapa data yang dikumpulkan detikINET : Nexus S akan memiliki prosesor 1 GHz Samsung Hummingbird. Prosesor ini, sama dengan yang digunakan pada Galaxy S, berbasis ARM Cortex A8. Nexus S memiliki memori 512 MB, setara dengan 'standar' saat ini yang digunakan iPhone 4 maupun Samsung Galaxy S. Seperti dijanjikan CEO Google Eric Schmidt, Nexus S akan memiliki perangkat Near Field Communication. NFC ini bisa digunakan untuk transaksi keuangan lewat koneksi nir...

Devin Coldewey 8 hours ago Andy Rubin is, as I type this, in the middle of a demo of Android 3.0 (AKA Honeycomb) at Dive Into Mobile. The rest of his talk I’ve got written up elsewhere, but this was too cool to pass up. The software is running on a prototype MOTOPAD that looks really slick, though it was only out for a moment and there are but few pictures at the moment. I’ll be updating this post as more information breaks. First thing he showed off was a new lock screen and then what appeared to be a brand new “desktop” with widgets and buttons in the corners. Different UI aesthetic than earlier versions of Android. He then launched the new, 3D-and-vector-based version of Google Maps that should be coming to your phone in just a couple days. Honeycomb will be out “next year,” which is a pretty vague deadline, but if I remember correctly, we’ve heard Q2 for the Moto tablet. Another improvement he notes is the ability to spli...

Barnes & Noble has finally released the software development kit for the Android-powered Nook Color and this could lead to multiple apps on the color e-reading tablet. While the Nook Color is powered by Android, it won’t be able to access the more than 100,000 apps in the Android Market. Barnes & Noble did say that it would be relatively simple to port existing programs over, although it will vet these apps for various criteria. First of all, you can expect Barnes & Noble to axe the apps with excessive violence or nudity but it will also stop competitors from getting on its platform. Don’t look for the Amazon Kindle app to show up on the Nook Color anytime soon even though porting the Android app should be relatively simple. With a 7-inch color touchscreen and decent hardware under the hood, the Nook Color could be a decent mobile gaming device. While I’m not expecting the next Rage HD to pop up on it, I could easily see a crossword game or Words With Friends being a bi...

Introduction There are so many of them that it’s pretty hard to make up your mind. It all boils down to LCD vs. LED although this simple fact is easy to overlook. You can go ahead and blame it all on marketing but that’s one thing that just can’t be black and white. Instead of keeping it simple, manufacturers are busy making up catchy names. Had enough with LCD? Be our guest, try Super LCD. There’s even Super Clear LCD for the sake of being different. Same with AMOLED. There’s the garden variety. But there’s also Clear Black and Super AMOLED. Anyway, with so many screens around even we got mixed up. And instead of writing down “We’ll never again mistake regular LCD for Super LCD” three thousand times, we got assigned to do this article. Yes sir. Coming up, boss. It’s about LCD and AMOLED, about Super AMOLED and SUPER LCD. It’s about the Retina display, which technically is a type of LCD. This is not a story going back to monochrome displays and the dawn of STN an...
