Thise Smartphone is designed by Motorola specifically for users who actually care about music quality on their smartphone.  As music edition, Motorola Motosmart Mix XT550 enriched with Dolby Mobile software, SRS WOW HD enhancements, and exclusive application, Sina Micro Music.

Along with special high quality music feature,  Motosmart Mix XT550  also has large 4 inches screen  a main back camera with 3 MP camera and the front secondary VGA camera, powered with the large battery capacity of 1,750 mAh. 
As Android is the largest OS in the world which adopted in many smartphones, Motosmart Mix XT550  reportedly will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Unfortunately, some other important information of Motosmart Mix XT550, such as pricing and availability schedule has not yet been revealed to date. Whether it's Smartphones also designate rolled out globally, is also unknown.

Nokia recently announced their financial results for Q1 2012. And, it looks not so good. The Division of Nokia smartphones indeed are going through the most difficult time, due to a decrease in sales of Symbian Smartphone, and the Android Smartphone is rushing their way..

Recently Samsung announces their financial results for Q1 contrary with Nokia achievement in Q1 which ended on 31 March. According to sources from the Tabloidpulsa and SAMMYHub, Samsung scored revenues of 45.27 trillion won, increased 22% YoY (Year of Year). Consolidated business profit reached 5,85 trillion won (98% up YoY) and consolidated net profit amounted to 5,05 trillion won.

Even there is a decrease in Samsung's seasonal sales of semiconductors and Televisions, due to the sales of their smartphones and high screen panel, the quarterly profits can be achieved.


Samsung has now exceeded the Nokia as a big mobile phone producers in the world. Samsung has ended Nokia's 14-year mobile phone domination with their 93,5 million units mobile phones global shipping last quarter. It definitely is larger than Nokia, which limited 82,7 million units.

Galaxy smartphone sales in the last quarter became a new trend of mobile phone from high end to low end users globally. As information about 44.5% of Samsung phone that is shipped is a smartphones. In fact, that number surpassed Apple, which is limited to 35.1%  smartphones.

Good news for Samsung Galaxy Nexus's users. According to information from AndroidCentral, some smartphones already got minor software update to Android version 4.0.4. Some of build numbers are in the range of IMM76D to IMM761.

Till now there has been no official information about the  benefits of this minor software update for GSM version of this Galaxy Nexus. But there are some Nexus's users, who already got update to Android v 4.0.4 reported some improvements like fixed of lost signal, which is found at IMM76D. Another improvement mentioned is the lock screen problem which was originally quite a bit of lag when enabling  the auto brightness.

When we take a look  at Google's developer site, that they still provides pictures from the manufacturer that has not shown screenshoot of image of updates for v 4.0.4 and for the latest version is still the build number IMM76D Only.

This software update should be pushed out to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners over the next few weeks, if earlier release patterns are anything to go by. If you want to manually update (and have the "yakju" variant of the Galaxy Nexus), you can follow our usual instructions to do so, swapping out the old OTA URL for this link right here.

It most likely this software updates for Galaxy Nexus would spread globally in the next few weeks. Or, it could be also faster.

As we all already know  from this some apps on Android use more than twice the power they actually need because the apps are  running ads on background. In this issue is the Angry Birds application is included which uses 70 percent of  battery power  to uploading information and downloading ads.


The Angry Birds Space is released yesterday with two version, the free and $2.99 premium HD version in Google Play.  Angry Birds has since switched to using Flurry for ads, but as the more recent study shows, it presents similar battery life problems. 

Comparing to Apple strategy which offer  more battery-efficient and unified advertising solution to advertisers, like iAds. Unfortunately, that example isn't entirely promising when it comes to actually bringing in more money. Apple has had to cut rates and ease terms for its iAds offering.

However the  Angry Birds Space is not the only apps  for battery life issues, it is just a common example simply because it has more popularity. Many expert says that paid apps on Android will make longer battery life but on the other side don't make much money in Google Play, because with  free version-with-ads apps running is intended to be much more profitable but it sacrifices the battery life of Android smartphone to the end user.

Advertising delivery for Angry Birds is done by Google (Rovio cannot influence this), so any reduction of mobile ad-associated signaling will have to be done by Google, not Rovio. The  strategy then, is to offer both paid and free versions on Google Play. That's exactly what Rovio is doing, but it's fairly clear that nobody should expect huge money from the paid version.

Google can build an ecosystem of consumers willing to spend their money directly, both the company and Android developers will be forced to depend on advertising revenue. In the meantime, Android users would be well-advised to save more battery life. 

The best solution is the most direct: Google needs to find ways to make Google Play a destination where consumers are willing to spend money. Looked at that way, there branding from Android Market to Google Play and the increased efforts to offer more types of content to purchase (including, it seems, movies) begin to make more sense.


Today, Google Docs application, an online and free word processing for Android has received an update with many new additions and improvements to offline mode and display for tablet pc device users.

The offline mode is the main thing of this update. Setting a document for offline use has the same way as offline mode in Google Music. So you have the file you want to access to offline mode from menu item in each file, and then the file will be downloaded.

Since the document was downloaded to be edited is not like the music file which just to be synchronized, there are some more options. You can edit, rename, and starred in the offline file, and any changes made will be synchronized automatically when the device is connected to the Internet. You can also manage documents for offline and see when the document was last edited.

The next update is just a minor update, which improves the reading experience on Android tablet. This means the document is no longer open phone-friendly layout, but more to better layout designed for the tablet.

Unfortunately the new layout is only available for reading documents, and if you go to edit menu, the layout will return to the previous layout. There are also adding new gestures, where you can swipe the screen to change pages.

Anyone can try this application, just visit the Android Market.

Going for Google’s mobile OS has enabled Sirius XM to include a series of new advanced features into its creation, like the "Tune Start" option that lets you start over at the beginning of a song if you tuned to a station right in the middle of your favorite track.

Pause, rewind and replay controls are also available, while the "Show finder" feature displays a guide that shows the content which will be set over the air the following week.

Furthermore, subscribers can build a library of up to 200 hours of programming from their Favorite satellite radio channels which are automatically recorded to allow for playback anywhere.

Another good news is that the Android OS run by the Lynx Portable Radio can also be updated by Sirius XM to install new features and to provide users with even more content.

As far as connectivity is concerned, Sirius’s latest creation comes with both a standard 3.5mm jack output and Bluetooth, so it can be linked to most stereo speakers, headphones, and vehicle stereo systems out there.

“Lynx gives subscribers the expanded SiriusXM 2.0 content lineup and advanced features, enabling time shifting and storage of content, offering listeners more control over the programming they subscribe to," said Jim Meyer, President, Operations and Sales, SiriusXM.

"Lynx will offer even more options to manage our exclusive and expertly curated content through future software updates," concluded the company’s rep.


Android devices selling is still growing within this 2011. Milions Android devices have been sold in global market. As open source OS, Android has special advantages than its competitor. Many of Android users really like whatever so called free apps. With Android Ver. 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich released, caused in increasing Android device selling this year.

Andy Rubin, Google's SVP argued that in the span of two days (before and during this Christmas, 24 and 25 December 2011), there are 3.7 million Android devices that are activation enabled!. The Activation of the 3.7 million Android devices can be assumed as the sales volumes. In fact, Android devices are sold in two days might be more than that. Andy Rubin.

This figure is indeed relatively large enough for an OS that was still very young. From the announcement that there are 700,000 Android enabled each month, all of a sudden that number increased at the start of the holiday season in late 2011.

This could be the sign that Android is already the most OS used in global mobile device market. But Apple with iOS still remains the greatest with its good contents. The question is, how long Apple can survive in this tight competition ? However most smartphone users are reluctant to pay for and tablet content apps. Let's look at just what will soon take place the number one in 2012. Will Android be able to dominate the world market ?

Taking screenshot in Android OS mobile device is not as easy as any other. You are required to go through the quite long complicated process to take a screenshot which is officially permitted in the Android OS. But there is a way that can be done to simplify the process, you can use a simple application like Screenshot It.

Screenshot It is  an utility software developed by Edward Kim that can be used to take screenshot with different intended purpose. In case you need to take a screenshot from your Android device to share information for your friends or colleagues , you can use this application.

From beginning installation, it takes a rooted device so that applications can been installed and running well. You can download it directly from the Android Market or visit the official website to get the apk file. The capacity of this application after the installation process does not consume a lot of memory space.

As the utilities to take a picture or screenshot on phones with the Android OS platform, Edward Kim as the developer of this software provides many features and develop them with the ability to rely on. Here are some interesting features that we found in this application.
  • Easy to Take - By using these utilities, you can easily take screenshots on the Android device. Taking pictures can be easily done directly on the device and not have to do a long process. This application is relying on convenience as one of the main feature.
  • Shake Your Device - Taking pictures can be done in two ways, first by putting a screenshot on the taskbar icon or by shaking your device. This setting can easily customize to your desire.

With Screenshot It, it seems you no longer have to undergo a very lengthy process for taking pictures.The ability of this application is inappropriate for the thumbs up. 

Android ver. 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich has been a top of Android user request for OS updating on their smartphone or tablets. From what we read on news, Samsung company have confirmed that some of Samsung Android mobile devices will get an Android Ice Cream Sandwich update. And now Samsung has announced the provision of the update schedule estimates. 


Following Samsung mobile devices lists that might be get an update option to ICS :
  • Galaxy S II 
  • Samsung Galaxy Notes 
  • Galaxy S II LTE and R 
  • Galaxy Tab 10.1 
  • Tab 8.9 
  • Tab 7.7 
  • Tab 7.0 Plus. 
However in this Android ICS software update, Samsung confirmed that the next release time will vary depending on region and market operators.

We can see that Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab 7.0 are not included in update program schedule. On the other side, Samsung Galaxy Nexus S, which is obviously almost identical to the Galaxy S soon will get Android 4.0.

Samsung company is finally responding to news that Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab 7.0 could not be updated to the Android Ice Cream Sandwich, because both of them have Samsung TouchWiz features, a typical Samsung, which has been customized quite complex (including custom widgets, video call and other). In fact, for models that are exclusively bundled with some specific carriers in some countries get mentioned much more in-depth customization (eg digital TV tuner for Brazil ISDB-Tb). From these conditions, Samsung argues that all of the features and last customization will not work properly when upgraded to Android version 4.0 ICS. Beside that hardware specs from Samsung Galaxy S and Tablet 7 are too low in RAM and ROM, which became a point of weakness. So the Android Gingerbread will be remain stagnant.

It seems that many users of Samsung devices will be disappointed. However, for smar user, this is not a serious problem, while many outstanding Android forum have Ice Cream Sandwich (Android v4.0) customization ROM without ruining ToucWiz feature, which must be compatible with some those Samsung devices which are not included in the official list.

Mozilla Firefox is already famous as most pc user use this browser for long time ago before Google chrome raise up. But on the other side, Google Chrome has been dominating the mobile browser. Google also wants their Google services of search engine may immediately appear on the main page Firefox browser.

Unlike in the pc world, Mozilla Firefox started onto mobile browser with codename Fennec, based on Mozilla Firefox 3.6 on March 2011 and recently Mozilla uses codename Firefox as mobile browser for Android. Mozilla released Firefox 9.0 for Android base Smartphone and Tablet.

The user interface of Firefox 9.0 for Android is completely redesigned for small screen optimization, the controls are hidden away so that only the web content is shown on screen and it uses touchscreen interaction methods

Firefox for Android wants to challenge the traditional mobile browser experience with a unique side-by-side layout. It hides off the left side menu of the screen for browsing tabs. The hidden menu to the right you will find your go back and for forward navigation, preferences and bookmarks. Also for the other menu you can find them on down side. So this unique menu makes wider space on the browser.

Wearable computer is the next technology of human kind which has unique feature compare to personal computer. According to Wikipedia, Wearable computers are miniature electronic devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing. This class of wearable technology has been developed for general or special purpose information technologies and media development. Wearable computers are especially useful for applications that require more complex computational support than just hardware coded logics.

As Google actively continue to making innovation in computerized devices, recently the Search Engine company comes back with new experiment by introducing a eyeglasses with built in digital screen to access informations from around the world.



These eye lasses will be shaped like regular eyeglasses but equipped by a transparent screen that using Android operating system to access all the information in the world. We think this will be cool gadget like we saw on science fiction movie

Google does really want to be the leading company in developing wearable computer in the future like they ever published in the New York Times about planting the Android operating system to a computer that can be used (wearable computer) at present.

How do these glasses work? These eyeglasses will have a screen with a computer interface that will be embedded in the ' arm ' glasses. However, these eyeglasses will not look different with other eyeglasses in General

The eyeglasses has a more perfect search box appearance for Android. These glasses will display search results in the form of information at the top of the screen.Google also are working to make the voice control system — similar to Apple's Siri — which in fact, allow the search process is carried out much further than standar device with a touchscreen system.

ZTE SKATE

ZTE Corporation is a global public company of providing telecommunications equipment and network solutions in China. Based on analysis of data from three independent companies - ABI Research, IDC and Strategy Analytics - ZTE is recognized as a supplier of mobile handsets in the world's fourth largest. In the third quarter of 2011, ZTE's handset shipments reached 19.1 million, up 57.9 percent from the same period last year, while the total market share rose to 4.9 percent.

Recently ZTE has announced the availability of their new flagship smartphone, the ZTE Skate and ZTE Racer II in France. France market has been the huge mobile devices market along with the increasing number of models of ZTE smartphones sold in France. ZTE seems really emphasized its desire to make their technology available to the public at large segment.

We can tell that with this new device, they want to surpass the success of ZTE Link and ZTE Blade, which was launched in France in 2010. ZTE Skate and ZTE Racer II is launched to target at mid-market and teens, representing the device with the best value for money in its market segment and demonstrate ZTE's commitment in providing increased user experience with competitive prices to attract the mass market.

ZTE RACER II
ZTE Skate equipped with a 4.3-inch multipoint touch screen with intuitive interface that allows quick access to applications, and smooth Internet navigation experience. ZTE Skate is powered by Qualcomm MSM processor 800 Mhz and operated with Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread).

With Honeycomb Android tablets and Windows Phone product line. ZTE has diversified its product range to offer a broader product type again to operators around the world to meet the growing demand from their customers.

Siri as the pioneer of voice command application in Apple mobile device mostly used by busy people with tight schedule. We think that most Android user also like to try this Siri feature on their smartphone. Recently Recently Google is going to compete with Apple Siri by developing an application similar to Siri.

Referring to AndroidandMe, an application called "Majel" will be the first Android Voice Assistance and starts its debut in the end of 2011. Google made Majel as the evolution of Voice Action feature on some Android smartphones. Similar to Siri, Majel will have the ability to take action with user voice command in different languages.

Though Google does not officially stated this Majel application development, at least from the rumor is clear that Google is preparing an application to compete with Apple Siri. And later from BGR, Google also has take over the developer of 'Alfred', the personal software assistance application made by Clever Sense. We might think that this 'Alfred' is going to be developed by Google to be Android Majel by the time of it released. 

Is your Android applications that you use can not display the Flash Player 10.1? Please note if the Android device that you use is a middle / low-end smartphone, does not support Flash 10.1. So then  the Flash Web content can not be generated. When Adobe released Flash Player 10.1, it is said that the Flash version is not compatible with smartphones that use ARMv6 processor line. If the Android device that you use are having problems with Flash content in it then surely it uses ARMv6 chipset line (ARM 11). 


Fortunately there are a number of developers from China who successfully cracking Flash 10.1 that can be used on Android devices with ARMv6 processors. For that you need to download and try it out. Previously make sure you have "Unknown Source" in a way a check in the setttings> Applications. 

Download Flash Player 10.1 for ARMv6 Devices Froyo and Gingerbread Users who have installed Flash Player 10.1 is reported that all applications can run well and can display Flash content. But if after install you experience browser crashes, you should immediately uninstall it.

Microsoft strategy to offers free Windows Phone handsets to the users affected Android malware attacks  has been found on Twitter some time ago. This Microsoft promo was stated by Ben Rudolph through Twitter with the DroidRage. He write a request for  Android users malware affected to tell the story of their malware, and they could have won the phone for replacement windows.


We can tell that Microsoft marketing strategy seems like what Samsung did to iPhone when first generation of iPhone 4 got antenna gate, Samsung via Twitter also offered the same thing to iPhone 4 user . We think this have something to do with malware on Android application called RuFraud. 

This malware  will send a short message service to a premium number so it charges so high. This RuFraud malware targeting Android users in Europe, Asia and other markets outside North America. This malware offering wallpapers art from famous movies, horoscope reading and popular games for android user. The good news is that  recently Google has remove RuFraud malware from Android market to anticipate the spread to another countries. 

This situation can only get worse with a report from Juniper Global Threat Center, which states that there is an increase of 472% of malware since last July. According to researchers, Google is not too tighten screening applications so that more potential malwares slip into to the Android Market. We can say that Android OS also has even defeat the Nokia Symbian OS mobile as the most targeted malware. So from now on malware hackers are pointing their target to Android OS. 


Android Tablet user has been looking for an audio dock for listening music with advance audio output like iPad audio dock which is really entertaining. If we take a look in back in the android market, there were no tablet audio dock available yet.

But this is for sure a good news for Samsung Android tablet user that iLuv Creative Technology, a famous provider of the most complete line of accessories for the mobile lifestyle, has introduced the world's first and only audio docking station for Samsung GALAXY Tablets, the iSM524, ArtStation™ Pro.

So if you have Samsung Galaxy Tablet  10.1 or the 7.0 plus, no need to worry now for enjoying new sound and movie experience, just look for it in the market. 



Android as an open source operating system for mobile devices has been developed with many versions. The Android version 3 which is claimed by Google as the best OS for tablet is called Honeycomb. This Honeycomb has been released together along with Motorola Xoom on February 2011. And now many vendors also adapt the Honeycomb for their tablets.

Recently Chitika as Advertising Network has been going on research on the Android version which has dominate the mobile devices OS right now. The result is that Honeycomb OS for tablet only took place 1% of the tablet market. The biggest percentage is taken by Gingerbread with 65%, then Froyo with 28% and the rest is cupcake and donut .

Why Honeycomb which is claimed the best OS for tablet only get 1% on the market? Some people says probably the reason is that when the first released of Honeycomb along with Motorola Xoom, google has not provide the source code itself to developer and the the lack of applications supports for Honeycomb. Unlike Apple which has first introduce the IOS few months before releasing the iPad, so the applications for IOS has been prepared and ready. Also many analyst argue that the lack of supported game on Honeycomb is one of the main factors.
Apple has successfully sold 6.9 million iPad units in the last quarter. Users of Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and Android also is rumored to still vying for the iPad. We hope that Ice Cream Sandwich can change the market share for Android in 2012, lets see.


Being the most choosen OS of Smartphone and Tablet, recently Android OS from Google is reach about 10 billion downloads in Android Market. Google is celebrating the android market for 10 billions download achievement. Some of the applications are sold at $0.10 like
