Opera Mobile 10.1 Beta Now Available for Android Users

Opera Mobile 10.1 is now available for Android users in beta format via Android Market, the official applications storefront for Android users. While Opera Mini has been available for Android for quite some time now, Opera Mobile offers a more complete browsing environment with text and graphics that are natively rendered on Android devices rather than on a server like on Opera Mini. Opera Mobile supports pinch to zoom, a feature that was lacking in the Mini edition, and YouTube playback.

The browser doesn’t quite support full hardware acceleration yet according to an early review on Android Police. According to the Android-centric blog, because Opera doesn’t make use of the Webkit engine, some content may not display as intended on Opera Mobile. Another issue is rendering speed, which is on-par with the newly unveiled Firefox beta edition for Android, but is slower than the native Android browser.

The conclusion that Android Police came away with isn’t entirely positive, but isn’t entirely negative either.

Tango Video Calls Android app Review

The Tango Video Calls Android app is a great way to talk face to face with those people that you love.

Features:

• Video chatting is getting more and more popular ever since Skype made it so common.  You will be able to use this app to have really high quality video calls with your friends and family that have either an Android phone or an iPhone.
• You can invite all of your friends and family to download the app so you can interact in a fun, new way.  They can just go to the website at tango.me in order to get more information
• You will be able to use this app with phones that have a front facing camera as well as those that don’t have it
• The video quality on the 3G phones is actually pretty good and you won’t have to worry about not being able to see the person you are talking to, the audio is lacking though
• You don’t have to use any cell minutes to use the app and you don’t have to sign up for any accounts as of now

Conclusion:

The Tango Video Calls Android app is a really cool way to do mobile video calls over your Android phone.  For now, the app is completely free so you can use it to your heart’s content.  You can actually do the video calling between both Android phones as well as iPhones.  The other cool thing about this app is that it will actually support phones that don’t have the front-facing cameras like those found on the iPhone 4.  The only issue, as you might have already noticed, is that if you have to turn the phone around to be able to see you, then you can’t really see the other person.   You can get a little creative, however, and use a mirror or something so that you can see the other caller while you are talking to them.  You will be able to toggle the buttons for muting as well as videos.  The video that is transmitted over the 3G network is pretty decent, but the audio is actually really bad unless you are going to be using headphones with each of the calls.
This app has been given decent ratings (nothing amazing) and is currently sitting at a rock solid 4 out of 5 stars by the people that ended up reviewing it.  One of the nice things about this app is that you can download it onto your phone for free.

Firefox 4 Mobile Beta 2 Released

Mozilla today announced the second beta of Firefox 4 Mobile for Android and Maemo. The software has made substantial process and is now among the most attractive browsers for Android. It scores in performance and HTML 5 compliance tests. iPhone users may be jealous.

The first Firefox 4 Mobile Beta was a rather rough release and a browser that was easily trumped by other popular Android browsers such as Dolphin. However, the second beta is a different caliber and is, according to our preliminary test run the fastest mobile browser for Android. Since it is based on Firefox 4, is offers amazing HTML 5 support, which is on par with the desktop version.
The new beta has dropped in size substantially – from more than 40 MB for the installer to about 17 MB. Mozilla says that future versions will get rid of more weight. There is a new interface that is now much more integrated with Android. Firefox Sync is now supported as well, which allows you to bring your bookmarks through the cloud to the mobile browsers.
Our quick test included a test run of Sunspider on a T-Mobile G2 phone with an 800 MHz processor. The test was completed in 5637.3 ms, which compares to 7129.5 ms of the standard Android browser and 6887.4 ms for the popular Dolphin browser. At least in theory, you can also run any HTML 5 content on this browser you would run on your desktop Firefox. The browser scores 226 of 300 points in HTML5test.com, which trumps Dolphin (176) and the Android browser (176) by a substantial margin.
You can download the browser for Android or Maemo here. the Android version requires an OS version of 2.0 or higher. The required storage space is about 32 MB.

LG “Honeycomb” Tablet Release in 2011

Want some news about LG's new Android tablet powerhouse?

Last we heard from the Korean tech giant LG, it was scrapping plans for Froyo and looking forward to a more suitable version of Android for their tablets, which a senior official at the company has today clarified to mean Honeycomb, describing it as the "tablet PC-version" of the OS.

LG plans right now are to release the 8.9-inch LG Pad in the first quarter of 2011, boasting that it'll come with a dual-core Tegra 2 chip inside -- the release window is said to be for both domestic and overseas markets.

LG has not given any official statement about the devices.  Which is interesting.

It seems whoever the cited official in this piece, he was dishing details that LG doesn't want the world to know yet. LG's PR team has also pulled a tweet about this story, with no statement as to why.

We also know of the other LG Optimus Android Tablets/Slates, the Optimus One and the Optimus Chic .  Both of them feature the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, and probably will reach worldwide. The Optimus Chic is targeted at young customers, but the Optimus One is an entry-level device.

The  LG Optimus One has a 600MHz cpu plus a 3.2 inch wide HVGA screen sporting a long life battery to provide up to 450 minutes of talk time and of course a touch screen. The Optimus one also has a 3Mp camera and micro sd slot (up 32GB)

If LG is waiting for the newest version of the Android OS for their premium tablet and it's not Android 2.2 aka "froyo". So it is possible that Honeycomb may launch during the 1st/2nd quarter of next year.

VIEWSONIC VIEWPAD 7 AND VIEWPAD 10 GET OFFICIAL US RELEASE

Samsung Nexus Two With Android 2.3

It seems that Samsung will release a new smartphone,Samsung Nexus Two which will have Android 2.3 operating system.I think that Samsung Nexus Two will have at least the same succes as Samsung Galaxy S.The November 8 want to make a surprise perhaps is not so. The Samsung Nexus Two sticks his paw under the door, and it has done in the form of a mobile phone very similar to Samsung Galaxy S. However, the interest of this new edition of the official Google Mobile does not reside only in the cacharrete but, as said in Beauty and the Beast, beauty is also inside.I like this new Samsung Nexus Two.

We refer to the operating system. The essence of a Google Phone. In this case, the version of Android. Speak of the edition 2.3, known by the name Gingerbread. Despite Froy Android 2.2 has not yet been established in the market, Google have decided to throw more coal on the locomotive, anticipating its advanced edition operating system to their advantage to get more and more open competition.I am sure that Samsung Nexus Two will have a big succes.
