CM7 Being Worked on for G2X
Excitement about CM coming to the G2X was stoked when Cyanogen tweeted out a pic of his G2X running "bro-tips", and further pushed with Chris Soyars tweeted out the image pictured to the left.
When asked for a quote, CM Team Member Arcee gave:
Major functionality is done, device-specific things are being worked on. Part of the differences between the G2x and the O2x come from the kernel, and LGE hasn't released the source for the G2x yet, so we're on hold until then"
Props need to go to Arcee, who is the lead dev for the Optimus 2X, which is the Euro version of the G2X. Arcee did a lot of groundwork before the release of the G2X using the Optimus 2X as a starting point. His work has made the current rapid timeline for the G2X possible.
DISCLAIMER: The Team wants you to be excited about the work that is happening on this new device, but tweeting them like fools asking for ETA's or updates is only going to slow things down. Be encouraged by the fact that they have only had the device for three days, and have already made some progress forward. More info on this as it develops.

More Rumblings About an Amazon Android Tablet
On Engadget today, there is an interesting article talking about some things Engadget Founder, Peter Rojas, is saying about the "secret" project:
It's something of an open secret that Amazon is working on an Android tablet and I am 99 percent certain they are having Samsung build one for them.
An Amazon tablet, built by Samsung, running Android inside Amazon as a platform? Could this be the reason that Apple has finally decided to sue Samsung? No answers but conjecture for sure right now, but it certainly plausible. Why? Because it makes a lot of sense that this new Android device from Amazon could really give Apple a run for it's money, literally.
It will be interesting to see what finally comes out of this, we should be looking forward to the prospect of a less expensive Android device that will have a lot of capability. What do you think?

Android Being Tested By U.S. Army For Future Combat Use
Currently, JBC-P apps are focused on maintaining real-time situational awareness. They enable soldiers to track fellow soldiers (also known as a blue force tracker), the enemy, and anything else they can notate from their device (roadside bomb, obstacles, friendly villages, uncharted streets, etc). An invaluable capability that has the potential for saving lives.
What sort of apps will the JBC-P handsets (and future handsets) be running? That's up to developers. The Army plans to release a mobile handheld development kit sometime in July 2011. Because of security concerns, our guess is that the development kit will only be released to cleared defense contractors, but that remains to be seen.
What sort of apps do you envision the Army running? What benefits might Android 'civilians' see now that Android has made its way into the Defense realm? We'd like to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Mary BethThis seems surprising given that these devices would be so dependent on a good wireless network.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Marco-Ruiz/741463237Marco RuizThis is great. It makes sense to take an open mobile platform like Android and apply it to producing something our armed forces, or anybody else, can use for more specific purposes. Bomb detection, live translation, mapping, and who knows what else would very much help them out. I like the direction android is heading. Sooner or later it will be ubiquitous, and yet we will have so many options lol.

Amazon Announces Library Lending for Kindle, Optimizes Android App for Honeycomb
Amazon has rolled out a new version of their Kindle application today, optimizing it for Honeycomb tablets. Taking advantage of the fragments and split screen capabilities in Android3.0, the free reader app works much better on larger screens. New details include enhanced work look-up, ability to pause and resume downloads, and of course bug fixes. Look for v3.0.0.56 in the Android market today!
Yesterday saw Amazon announcing a new partnership with OverDrive to bring digital library book lending to your Kindle device and applications later this year. This deal will see more than 11,000 local libraries participating, providing users with the ability to borrow library titles and even use WhisperSync notes in the margins. There is no indication as to when this will roll out but we're anxious to see what kind of titles are available.

Intel to Launch Honeycomb Powered Tablets Soon
Intel is the leading chip maker in the world, and they are always the first choice of a PC gamer or any other person who is looking forward to buy a new processor. While they have been a top name for PCs and laptops, they essentially have no presence in mobile. Now, however, it looks like they are about to give their full attention to Android tablets. According to CEO of Intel Paul S. Otellini, Intel has received Android Honeycomb code from Google and now they are working to port it to the x86 architecture. This means that in near future, we will see an Android Honeycomb tablet running on the Intel Oak Trail processor.
Intel processors are less power consuming which means more battery and fun. There are number of Intel laptops available in the market (I am using one right now), and the reason people go for Intel is that it eats less resources as compared to other chips. I am sure if a company launches Intel Oak Trail based tablet, then it will offer a great battery life, which is a big sticking point for us Android users. Anyone out there looking forward to Intel-based tablets?
Source: The Register
http://twitter.com/mazimiMohammad AzimiI'm just as excited about Intel chips in Android devices as the next guy but this article is a JOKE.
"Intel processors are less power consuming which means more battery and fun."
Take some time to provide your readers with details and actual numbers. I'm assuming since your article is about tablets you are comparing the Oak Trail processor to ARM based CPUs. The Atom Z670 has a TDP of 3 Watts whereas the A5 ARM CPU in the iPad 2 has a TDP around 0.5 Watts.
"the reason people go for Intel is that it eats less resources as compared to other chips"
Eats less resources? So the Atom CPU uses less system resources, i.e. CPU (itself), memory, etc as an ARM processor? Sorry, I don't follow.

Rugged Casio Commando Leaked with Image and Specs
There are a lot of rugged phones available in market but when it comes to Android, there is only one phone you can call beautiful and rugged, and it's known as the Motorola Defy. Now it looks like the Defy is not alone when it comes to rugged Android phones. Say hello to the Casio G'zOne Commando, from Verizon Wireless. We first heard about this phone a few days ago in a leaked Vzw Spring roadmap. If you have a tough job, like working in an oil refinery or a construction company, then you need a phone which is reliable and strong enough to face any problem. Casio Commando is not good looking like the Defy but rugged devices are meant for work, not for beauty.
The Commando comes with Android 2.2, a 3.6-inch Gorilla glass display, 800 MHz processor, 512mb of RAM, a MicroSD Slot, and a 5 MP camera. The design of the device verifies that it's made for some serious use, so if you are Bear Grylls fan and love adventures, then this device is the one for you.
So, who's looking forward to buy this upcoming rugged phone from Verizon?

Telstra Wants in on Android, Launching Galaxy S II and XOOM Next Month?
They are also planning to launch the Samsung Galaxy S II, which is at the moment one of the most anticipated smartphones. Bluetooth SIG has approved the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i900T,and it's also showing that the device will be available in Australia. Can you see T in front of the Galaxy S II model number? The T means that the device is headed to Telstra, in Australia. We'll have to wait and see on this one. It's rumored that it's coming out next month, fingers crossed.
So, our Australian readers out there, are you excited about these two new devices that are coming your way?

Panasonic Chargepad wirelessly juices up mobile chargers, nothing else
We’ve seen plenty of wireless charging solutions that employ inductive power and other technologies to charge devices directly (heck, your next car may even have a Powermat in its console), but Panasonic’s Chargepad may be the first such product to charge, well, other chargers, rather than gadgets themselves. At launch, the Chargepad will only be compatible with two models, the QE-PL101-W and QE-PL201-W, which you can use to juice up cell phones and other USB-compatible devices on the go. We’d love to see the company embedding inductive charging components in its cameras and other devices instead, but if you’re an early adopter who happens to live in Japan, then you can expect to pay between $110-130 (open pricing, depending on battery capacity) for the Chargepad and a mobile charger when these hit stores on June 24.
Update: As reader SegueToNowhere points out, the Chargepad has a Qi logo, meaning it should work with your favorite Qi devices.

Motorola Xoom, Nexus S 4G hitting Sprint in early May?
Sprint service the only thing standing between you and a Motorola Xoom? Good news — a tipster passed along an internal calendar showing an April 25th employee training date for the Honeycomb tablet, and while we’re still taking it with a grain of salt, it seems like the real deal. If past products are any indication, it should hit Sprint stores a fortnight later, in early May, lining up nicely with those Xoom cases that were spotted a week back. The Nexus S 4G also looks to be slotted for employee training the same day, foreshadowing busy times ahead for the Now Network cashiers.
Ongoing PlayStation Network outage could be DDoS attack
The Sony PlayStation Network is currently suffering some downtime, with all Sony Online Network services unavailable for use.
Although Sony has posted a blog post saying that it is not yet sure what has caused the outage, speculation is already rife that Anonymous is behind it.
The anonymous collective is the group behind the website attacks in support of Wikileaks some weeks ago, and recently named Sony as its next target.
Dramatic
Sony’s European blog manager, James Gallagher, didn’t rule out the possibility of outside interference, writing: “Our support teams are investigating the cause of the problem, including the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party.
“If the reported Network problems are indeed caused by such acts, we would like to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service.”

The iPhone tracking fiasco and what you can do about it
By now you’ve no doubt heard about a certain iOS database file called consolidated.db. It made quite a splash yesterday when a pair of researchers, Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, from O’Reilly Media announced the “iPhone tracking software” the duo had “discovered hidden on the phones.” Here’s the problem: they didn’t discover it, at least not originally. The file, known to hold large amounts of geolocation data collected from WiFi access points and cell-towers, has been probed by forensic experts ever since the retail launch of the iPhone 4 back in June of 2010. Hell, Sean Morrissey and Alex Levinson published a physical book on the topic back in December 2010, entire excerpts of which can easily be found on Google. So either the team from O’Reilly is being disingenuous with its claims or it’s being lazy.
Regardless, the story laid dormant for months until the O’Reilly team was able to visualize the data in a very personal way. Running the team’s open-source iPhoneTracker software to see the detailed locations of our worldly travels is absolutely fascinating. Imagining the same data file in the hands of a stalker, misguided detective, or a jealous lover is downright creepy.
But how is it possible that an issue like this has avoided the tech community at large for more than a year? And more importantly, what can you do about it? Read on to find out.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc crowned best mobile phone
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc has shown itself to be the phone that finally knocks the HTC Desire off the perch of best mobile phone in the world.
TechRadar’s ranking of the 20 best handsets is our definitive list, helping you work out which phone to pick up, and has had millions of views since its launch last year.
The HTC Desire has sat proudly atop that list since its launch last year, but now there’s a new smartphone cowboy on the scene in the shape of the Xperia Arc.
It was an nigh-on impossible task to choose a winner, with all of the top 20 proving to be quality smartphones – and the HTC Desire S and Desire staging the mobile version of a Greek tragedy at numbers two and three below the Xperia Arc.
Still all about HTC
HTC was the best represented on the list, nabbing six of the 20 slots, with Samsung stealing four (with the Galaxy S proving its longevity at number five).
INQ was a new entry with the Cloud Touch, although the Orange San Francisco nabbed the title of ‘best budget phone’ at number nine.
Predictably, Android was the dominant OS with 16 of the entries running the Google OS – but it’s good to see Bada, BlackBerry OS and Symbian in the mix too.
We’re still waiting to see where the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the HTC Sensation land in our ranking – but right now it’s Sony Ericsson proving that it’s finally moving in the right direction with the gorgeous Xperia Arc sitting pretty at number one.
EFF Calls Google Out Over Lack of Transparency, Draconian Approach to Android Market
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has taken to their blog to voice their displeasure with Google's recent pulling of Grooveshark from the Android Market. As they see it, Google is headed in a completely different direction from the open and transparent Utopia promised back in 2007. The EFF speculates as to why Google might have pulled the music application, positing that it could be copyright law-related or, worse, a potential competitor to their rumored Google Music service. Given that Grooveshark still doesn't know exactly what they did to get the boot, they could not retool the application. Meanwhile, Grooveshark has begun offering the music app directly from their website, away from the Android Market's policies.
Is the EFF correct in calling Google heavy handed or Draconian? It's hard to say exactly. We're still only a couple of years into the whole app distribution game and with few players involved, things are constantly in flux. We're in a very litigious time with large companies who can be held accountable or punished with financial penalties that reach millions or billions. Perhaps Google is only trying to shore things up a bit and protect themselves from a major lawsuit. On the other hand, maybe they see the benefit in exercising more control.
How do you feel about Google and the Android Market policies? As a customer, do you find them fair? How about you developers reading this?
bobombUm, is the EFF all over Apple's ass regarding their app store practictes? Cause, uh... Google is light years better than Apple in that regard. Now if Google has done something wrong, then they need to be called out, but I would think the Grooveshark thing seems like a clear case of trying to get the RIAA to STFU.

Update on Nexus One Gingerbread Call Delay Issue
Today, Google's Dan Morrill weighed in and said that since the issue is device specific, it should be pursued in the Google Mobile Help Forum. Certainly not what you were hoping to hear from Google first thing, as it feels like the issue is being shunted to a different department.

Big Apps List: Pinball

The graphics and camera angles, especially in flipper view, are top notch and it has the kind of "story line" you see in classic '90s pinball machines. Add nice sound effects and haptics and it simply feels the most like playing real pinball. Check it out:

Report Finds Android Could Eclipse iOS Install Base Within a Year
We've seen our fair share of reports and studies over the last year which show Android's market share on the rise. With each quarter that passes another survey comes out telling us that our favorite platform is doing better than the competition. At some point all this Android momentum has to catch up and push the install base beyond Apple, right? According to Horace Dediu of asymco, this could happen within a year.
Using data that starts from the launch of both Android and iOS platforms, Dediu plotted the known activations across each quarter. Four years in, Apple has around 191 million cumulative users whereas Android is at 83 million after 31 months. Factoring in the impressive growth rate and doing a bit of math, the Android install base should overtake Apple at some point in the next twelve months.
To be fair here, this takes everything as it is today and assumes nothing changes. We have no idea what either company or platform will be doing six months from now, nor what sort of options are available to customers.
One should be careful about drawing conclusions that this implies effective competition... iOS is growing at at least 100%/yr and Android’s second year was 65x bigger than its first. iOS growth is limited by the ramp rates of a limited portfolio of products. Android growth is limited by how quickly vendors can bring out products. Neither platform is demand constrained and hence they are competing for share of growth not for share of a fixed pie.

Apparently somebody got the hint when President Obama recently complained about the lack of "really cool phones and stuff" at the White House. If they can't get really cool phones in the White House, at least they were able to bring the White House to really cool phones.
Joining the previously released iOS app, the White House has released an Android app that allows political junkies to get alerts, watch the President speak live, view photos and videos, and read up on news.
Now, with the White House's app joining Sunlight Labs' unofficial-but-awesome Congress app, we've got the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government covered. The Supreme Court has got to be feeling the pressure, no?

TeamDouche Achieves Recovery for the G2x
Proof came in a photo tweeted by TD's Chris Soyars.
That ClockwordMod Recovery is up and running means that G2x users should be able to use ROM Manager, and that TD is working on the G2x likely means we'll see CyanogenMod support before too long.

Gameloft Policies Still Handcuffing Customers
Our reader, George, has purchased seven games from Gameloft's website over time, each at around $4.99 or more. George went and snatched up a brand new LG G2X from T-Mobile yesterday, and wanted to play his games on it. This is a beast of a device after all. After reaching out to Gameloft regarding his inability to re0download the games, he was contacted by a representative who had this to offer:
Unfortunately, you can not get the games back on your new phone. According to Gameloft policy if you buy a game, you can re-download it to the same phone with the same phone number within 3 years of your purchase. If the phone model or number was changed by the customer's own initiative, Gameloft has the right to refuse re-sending the game.
You can not re-download or transfer games which you bought on your old phone (HTC My Touch 4G) to the new phone (LG G2X), because we produce each game-build for one particular phone to ensure the best quality and to prevent piracy. If you want to have games on your new phone, I'm afraid you will have to buy them again.
Sorry for the inconveniences. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Our main reason for pointing this out today is because many Android owners have come up for a renewal or are ready to purchase a new handset. Gaming enthusiasts tend to have high-end phones or the latest technologies. We can't imagine them being too pleased if they have to buy their games over every time they get a new device.
Our recommendation to Gameloft is a simple one: Offer all of your titles in the Android Market. There's no reason we can think of to split your library of games across multiple channels. In fact, we think you'd have a higher volume of sales if people were able to discover you there as opposed to going to your site to "see what else is available". You can still restrict what devices or OS releases can play the game, mention in comments how they are optimized for certain models, or whatever.
There are many out there who are cool with their policies and don't care if they have to buy a game a second time. But for those of you who are looking to pick up a new phone, beware that there could be additional charges on the horizon.
AnonymousGameloft has a case of "Already got your money, dude!"-itis.
AnonymousThanks for the warning. They already magically can't find my phone # in their system when I went to re-download a game I got from them. This doesn't surprise me and Gameloft won't ever get another dollar from me until they sell in the standard market.
http://twitter.com/GrevensEpiphanyRamon MartinezTheir policies border on the absurd. They claim to do things to prevent piracy, when all they're doing is encouraging it. I would love to purchase Eternal Legacy and Dungeon Hunter 2, but they won't sell it to you if you have AT&T (like I did for a while with the Atrix) or a G2x (like I do now). Therefore, if I really want to play the games, my only real option is to pirate. It makes no sense. Besides, a simple Google search will show you how heavily pirated their games are as it is, so the security measures clearly aren't working. Sad.
http://profiles.google.com/rnstewartRussell StewartLooks like I'll never be buying anything from these guys.
ThemitchyWouldn't even consider buying from them given this policy.
