Why Android is better than iPhone.

left-white.jpeg


Officially announced at the Macworld Expo yesterday, the iFusion for iPhone is an interesting all-in-one solution that combines a standard landline dock, a speakerphone, charger and USB connector into a single device that can let you have phone calls, listen to music, charge the iPhone and sync data with a Mac or PC. The unique design of the device, which will ship in April at $149, is highly ergonomic and allows for superior voice quality thanks to the hand-free speakerphone that, admittedly, also looks pretty good.

The creators of the iFusion call the product the first “iPhone communication docking station”, which comes with its own app (geared towards business users) but that, at the same time, can work with any other audio app for the iPhone, like Skype or Viber.

Would you ditch Android or BlackBerry for the iPhone?
If so, you are not alone. Indeed, over 54% of Verizon subscribers who use Android or BlackBerry smartphones are ready to make the big switch.

According to a recent survey conducted by uSamp, more than half are "very likely" (25%) or "likely" (29%) to switch to the iPhone when it finally arrives on the Verizon network on February 10th.

As AppleInsider's Josh Ong notes, the above-mentioned poll could signal "particularly grim news" for RIM, as BlackBerry users (66%) indicated a particularly higher interest in adopting iOS, compared to just 44% of Android enthusiasts.

"RIM's BlackBerry has lost significant share on Verizon as the carrier has heavily promoted its Android offerings," explained Ong.

"With the arrival of the iPhone, the BlackBerry on Verizon has been relegated to third place."



Perhaps not unexpectedly, the survey also noted that a whopping 26% of AT&T customers confirmed plans to purchase the Verizon iPhone on launch day. 



Clearly, the big winners here are Verizon and Apple.

RIM and AT&T stand likely to lose the most from a Verizon iPhone, while the jury is probably still out on Android.
 
Verizon iPhone4

RD Mute Mutes Your Phone When Face Down and When You're Driving

340x_rdmute.jpg


Android only: I like to mute my phone when I'm buried in work, sleeping, or driving my car, but turning on my phone and fiddling with the sound isn't ideal. RD Mute will mute your phone whenever you turn it upside down.

The basic functionality of the app is pretty self-explanatory: whenever you turn your phone face-down, it will turn all the sound completely off. That way you can just flip your phone over and get back to whatever you were doing. This is something that we've covered doing before with Tasker, but it's nice to have it in such a simple app with no setup (and it's free, for those of you that don't want to pay the $5 for Tasker).

RD Mute also has a car mode, which (while seemingly unrelated, but still awesome) mutes your phone while you're driving, so you don't get distracted. You can pick at what speed your phone mutes itself, and even send an automatic text message to your friends so when they call you, they'll know you're driving and that you'll get back to them soon. You can even have it only send the automatic text message to specific contacts if you prefer. Honestly, I'd love to see this feature apply to the regular "face down mute" feature of the phone, too—so I could automatically text my friends to let them know I'm working, asleep, or otherwise unavailable and that I'll get back to them soon (sadly, it only activates this feature if your phone's moving at 31 miles per hour or more).

RD Mute is a free download for Android devices.

HP Touchstone tech now lets you tap two devices together to swap a URL

By Paul Miller posted Feb 9th 2011 2:12PM





​
So, HP is extending "Touchstone" to mean more than "that heavy, slanted magnet thing that my Pre always slips off of." For starters, the TouchPad has a Touchstone charging dock -- it's not magnetic, but at least you don't have to worry about plugging the thing in, and it's particularly suited to working with a keyboard. But that's not the real magic. HP has enabled its three new webOS devices (The TouchPad, Veer, and Pre 3) to communicate over Touchstone. You simply place your phone on top of the TouchPad, as illustrated, and whatever you're viewing on the phone pops up in the tablet's browser. We're not sure how this works bi-directionally, but HP mentions both scenarios, so hopefully it shouldn't be that difficult to configure the URL to come from the tablet and land on the phone. Naturally, there should be a lot more "Continuous Client"-style uses for this tech in the future, but we'd say URL pushing is a good start.
 
I have to say the Pre 3 was very underwhelming to me.

The TouchPad is interesting but I wonder if it is enough to lure people away from their established OS preferences. I mean most consumers buy a product because it is familiar or because it works with the other mobile OS products they own (Andoid or iOS). The only thing that usually gets consumers to stray are low pricing or specs that blow the competition out of the water. I'm sure if the the TouchPad nails either of those (we will wait on prices. Lucky for them Motorola has gone insane in pricing the Xoom and Atrix w dock).

I really hope they succeed as quality competition drives the market to be better.

I am pretty happy with the processor speed 1400 MHZ compared to the Iphone 4 1000MHz. I am also happy the pre 3 kept the current look, same size as the iphone and a bunch of other stuff you guys can read about.

I think finally people will stop looking at the hardware issues and start talking about how great the OS really is, but I do agree that it will take a huge effort to take away from the Android and Iphone market, however let's remember that Android was nothing a couple of years ago and now look at them.

Can't wait to get my hands on a tablet that communicates with my phone and can make phone calls and receive my text messages, I will be seating in my couch with my tablet and not have to get up for anything :)

The Pre is going to flop just like every other Palm product...they just dont have the app library that Android or iOS has. Also Palm is so far behind in market presence that its just not going to be viable option to Android or iOS for most consumers.
