A busy day for Google! Nexus S, Gingerbread SDK & Google Books

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Well Google went all out today… They announced the Nexus S, released the Gingerbread SDK and launched Google Books. I would say they’ve been busy. So lets break this down.

The Nexus S has a lot of “firsts” going for it. First phone to run Gingerbread (Android 2.3), first to have a 4″ Contoured Display, and support for Near Field Communication. Some of the other highlights are an improved keyboard, VoIP/SIP support, Wi-Fi hotspots 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 16GB internal memory, a dedicated Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and a slew of other great stuff.

Check out the video and learn about the Gingerbread SDK and Google Books after the break. Read More

FLUD: The one app to make me want an iPad

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

This is possibly the most amazing app I’ve ever seen. I’m obviously a bit of a gadget junkie so you may be surprised that I wasn’t one of the people camping out for the iPad. Well, I wasn’t. I think it’s mainly because I’m an Android kid as opposed to an i(Insert Name) kid.

Alright, enough about me, lets talk about FLUD ($4). So what is it? It’s a news ecosystem for iPad that allows one place to read and share all of your favorite content. Not to mention it has a kick ass UI. Just grab those RSS feeds you can’t live without and sync them up. You can scroll through articles in a very smooth manner, integrate with Google Reader and share through Facebook, Twitter and email.

Check out the video after the break and learn more about how Bobby Ghoshal, the developer and designer of this masterpiece, describes the project. Also as a side note, according to their Twitter (@fludapp) page, they have an iPhone app in the works.

The Best Mobile Apps for the 2010 World Cup

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Football, soccer, the hooligans game - whatever you call it, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa is about to help boost beer sells everywhere. This madness that only comes every four years is just two days away and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait! The last couple weeks now my friends and I have been talking about how we’re going to follow the games. Some said they’re going to catch the first game at the International Tap House (who is opening their doors at 9am), some on the couch at home or if you’re like me, stuck at work and wishing you were at a bar at 9am. The one that really stood out to me was the answer, “On my phone.” I mean why not we do pretty much everything else on our phones and hell, if you’ve got an EVO you can even watch the match live on ESPN Mobile using Sprint TV. OK, for those of you that know me or follow Freakn’ Sweet, you know I’m a phone geek so it shouldn’t be a surprise that this got me thinking:

What are the best mobile apps for following the 2010 World Cup?

Google Voice FINALLY on iPhone and Palm… Kinda?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

First off, are you a Google Voice user? Well if not you should check it out because it’s pretty sweet. Second, Google Voice is now available for the iPhone and the Palm Pre and Pixi via a mobile web site. Now we definitely would have preferred an app like you can get on an Android device but hey, this is better than nothing right?

I wonder what AT&T thinks about this?

Ever want a self portrait in Legos?

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Alright iPhone users, I’m jealous once again because you guys get a chance. Lego has released the iPhone Lego Photo App, which converts an iPhone snapshot or image from your library into a Lego piece mosaic. If you were awesome you could use the picture as a guide to make a real life Lego portrait.

But again, that’s only if you’re awesome….

SynthStation: A mobile production studio

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

The iPhone can do just about anything (except make calls…. ouch) so why not make it a music production studio? Well now you can. SynthStation Studio gives you three powerful synthesizers for creating and modifying sonic textures used for melodies, chords, and bass lines. Built around Akai Professional’s history in synthesis and drawing on the newest MINIAK synth, SynthStation sounds great and offers wide-ranging sonic flexibility with its virtual analog synthesis.

The SynthStation has an on-screen piano keyboard so you can key in ideas on the go. To take full-performance advantage of its power, SynthStation mates perfectly with Akai’s iPK25 docking synth keyboard.

I agree with Brent from Blaccessorize.us though, we need an Android version!

Move over Eclair, time for Android Froyo

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Google has been keeping a theme with the code names for their Android releases. Some of these being Cupcake, Donut and the latest Eclair. (2.1 is still part of Eclair) You may also notice that they are going in alphabetical order. Well now we know the name for “F”. According to Android’s senior project manager Erick Tseng Android’s next big iteration will be known as Froyo. That’s short for “frozen yogurt” incase you were trying to figure it out like me.

Even though I’m a little bummed it was called Flan I guess I can deal with it. No news on a release date yet but we’ll let you know when we hear of one.
