It’s not only Google, but Motorola, HTC, Samsung, Song Erisson and some other main manufacturers have been keen on Android phone. According to the monthly reports from AdMob, the mobile ads company that was recently acquired by Google, Android has 11% of the worldwide smart phone market and 12% of the US market. And the recent new appearance of Motorola Droid and the coming HTC Bravo really bring us big surprise with enabling many of the cool new features.

A big screen on a small phone, that’s one of the highlights and attractions of Android phone. Absolutely, you can take the big screen with you to enjoy videos, websites, photos and any other images on the ultra sharp wide screen display. There are 2 ways for you to enjoy videos on your smart phone.

Solution 1:
You can visit those online video sharing webs such as Youtute, Hulu, etc. That’s good, but sometimes it will be very slow and won’t be very fluent.

Solution 2:
The second way is that you can put your videos saved on your PC to your smart phone so that you can enjoy them on the go. To put videos on smart phone, you only need the following 2 steps:

Step 1: Convert video to Android phone supported video
The video you have saved whether it is downloaded from internet or somewhere else, may be in different formats such as flv or avi etc. But your Android phone may only supports playing MP4 video or WMV video, therefore you need to convert video to Android phone video first. This Wondershare Video Converter is such kind of tool which can convert videos to almost all kinds of videos for Android phone whether you are T-mobile myTouch 3G, HTC, Motorola or some other Android phone users.

Step 2: Transfer converted video to your smart phone
After conversion, you can connect your phone with PC, and transfer the converted video to your phone.

With these 2 solutions, you can take your Android phone’s big screen with you every minute and anywhere to enjoy your favorite video in the most vivid way.

Google promised to deliver something spectacular on the second day of the Google I/O conference, and they did not disappoint. Google has just announced Google Wave, a new in-browser communication and collaboration tool that is already being hailed by some as the next evolution of email. Yes, Google Wave is potentially that disruptive.

Created by two of the guys behind Google Maps with a small team in Sydney, the concept behind Google Wave is to “unify” communication on the web. It’s a hybrid of email, web chat, IM, and project management software. It features the ability to replay conversations because it records the entire sequence of communication, character by character. Because of this, discussions are also live in Google Wave: you will see your friend’s type character-by-character.

The key to it all is the faster line of communication. Attaching documents, like you do in email, is unnecessary in Google Wave. Real-time conversations and collaboration make it an ideal tool for business teams as well. Imagine an entire office having Google Wave open to quickly share and receive files. It combines some of people’s favorite aspects of many different web communication tools.

I suddenly started to day dream on how Google Wave could solve many of my web development issues. Google Wave could potentially allow a team to collaborate with clients directly and in real-time during the User Acceptance Testing phase in any web development project. If we could have the ability to see proposed changes in real-time and apply the edits as the client sees it happens, we could save valuable time and money.

Is Google Wave the Wave of the Future?

Google Wave aims to be the future of email Gmail, IM, and Docs all rolled into one. Email has been around for about 40 years now. In fact, it pre-dates the internet by good few years and even the fanciest Live Mail or MobileMe system in the world still closely resembles the system put in place all those years ago. So if it ain t broke, don t fix, right? Err, wrong. Google reckons that email resembles older, outdated forms of communication far too closely. Email is basically an electronic representation of how the postal service works, albeit faster, cheaper and considerably less likely to get left in the back of warehouse somewhere. So the internet monster is working on Google Wave, a rethink of the whole email idea.

Is Google Wave the Wave of the Future?

While I have not been invited to participate in Wave, I have been following their progress. A number of folks have posted their impressions of Wave for others to see. The question is of this is really the next evolution of communications. On one hand, it is clearly a new way of thinking about conversations and the dialog between participates. However, it seems to lack any capability to support intimate conversations. As a public or non-intimate forum, it appears to do a fine job. I do question the value of seeing others type their responses in real time. I think this would be an unnecessary burden on the communications network for minimal value. On the other hand, I might change my mind if they would invite me in to the trial!!!!

During the Google I/O keynote, Google’s VP of Engineering, Vic Gundotra , laid out a grand vision for the direction Google sees the web heading towards with the move to the HTML 5 standard. While we’re not there yet, the entire Google Wave Drips With Ambition. A New Communication dawn is upon us

Android Phone Fans — Google Wave and Google Gadgets you can play embeddable games like Sudoku in a wave: So how does this fit into Android? Well… it works on Mobile phones… like Google Android phones… and they demo Google Wave on an Android device and iPhone. Holy awesomeness and world-about-to-be-taken-overness! Right now you’re probably asking: “Where do I sign up?” Good question… and I’ve got the answer: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/wavesignup/ Google Wave is looking pretty crazy.

Could Google WAVE goodbye to twitter?

The Google Maps team, lead by Lars and Jens Rasmussen, have developed an application to allow people to communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps and other tools, all within a standard browser. I think that allot of twitter fans could leave “the fail away” because of Google Wave. This one it looks to be one of the best web based app build in the last years. Probably will be a Facebook killer too.

Who will ride Google’s Wave?

Twitter/Facebook on steroids. I can certainly see uses for it in project management, events organization, news sharing and decision making in a crisis situation and so on. If people make apps for it too then who knows what else?

As you already know, Google released a waterfall of 100,000 invites to the Google Wave preview over the last day or so, giving bleeding-edge early adopter and information addicts a new playground to exchange conversations in real time. After months of hibernation and anticipation, Wave’s arrival has everyone’s tongues wagging, as we all get an early look into Google’s plans to redefine messaging; delivering a real-time platform that includes rich media and extensibility through gadgets.

Since Wave’s introduction earlier this year, I have seen a number of differing ways the product has been described. From a new development platform to a suite for business collaboration or an (insert popular social service name here) killer, the guesses have ranged far and wide. Interestingly, however, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Lars Rasmussen defined Wave as “a modern version of e-mail”, adding that e-mail is “an old-fashioned technology”. So it makes the most sense, at this point, to look at the Google Wave preview as a potential replacement or enhancement to today’s e-mail systems, notably Gmail.

Who’s excited for Google Wave?

I am quite excited about Google Wave. I believe that the convergence in a web-based platform of mail, chat, blogs, social networking and collaboration is showing what is the beginning of Web 3.0 initiatives.

I am very much looking forward to Google Wave. One of the less discussed aspects that are particularly appealing to me is the potential for this to create a ubiquitous web identity.

Pushing innovations into reality may often take years of research and plenty of time to develop, but there are also some pretty inventive features that combine some ingenuity and a new perspective. This is why the Motorola Backflip is such an amazing phone. Aside from the fact that it packs some serious hardware specs, the Google Android operating system and the MOTOBLUR networking service; the phone also flips open in a stylish way that will let you use it as a hands free media player, desk clock and more.

The table top mode (as the manufacturer would call it) allows users to easily see the 3.1 inch display at a very comfortable viewing angle. The touch screen interface allows for easy phone browsing and usage in any mode. You can lay it down on your desk and browse the web without having to carry the device in your hands all day.

Google’s Android Operating System

Android operating systems add plenty of functionality to smart phones thanks to the many built in functionalities and its great support for applications. As many know, apps add new user-determined functions to mobile phones. With the Android being so easy for devs to make apps for, you can find plenty of applications that would transform an Android phone to a device which has all the features you need.

Another great thing about the Android is that you can edit and tweak any setting on the device; themes, home page, GPS, and everything else in your phone –personalize everything to meet your demands. The Backflip will come pre-installed with Google Android 1.5 Cupcake. While not exactly the latest version, the device can download a patch and update to version 2.0.

Enjoy Online with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR

One of the biggest innovations of mobile phone technology is the ability to go online and connect with friends and family through social networks. The MOTOBLUR service takes this new convenience one step further by combining everything you need online in a single application. A single MOTOBLUR account on your phone will link and combine your contacts and friend lists; allowing you to view all messages, Tweets and status updates in a single view.

One single inbox will let you view all your messages, emails and tweets with a single touch of a button. The whole application is fully customizable and you can set which elements to show and where.

All your online data and contact information is backed up on a regular basis by the MOTOBLUR system online, allowing you to transfer all your info and settings to a new phone easily. No more complicated data transfers; just synchronize your next device and you will be ready to go.

Standing Out at CES

Not only does the Motorola Backflip stand out on its own in the table top mode, the device also stood up amongst its peers in the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show held early January at Las Vegas. The phone was recognized and was awarded with CNET’s Best of CES 2010. The phone’s MOTOBLUR, backtrack navigation pad and innovative Backflip form gave the device top marks in nine various categories.

Droid? You may be asking yourself what it is and what all the fuss is about. Google has been in the works to perfect their newest innovation in font and logo design for the future and are now ready to present it to the public.

Droid is aptly named because with its formation and innovative fonts it has become the greatest rival to Apple’s iPhone, Android. This special font was created with the collaboration of Google and Ascender, a company based in Illinois that has made logo designs and fonts its specialty. Ascender has created unique fonts and logo designs for several companies, including Motorola and Microsoft.

Along with their notable portfolio, Ascender is part of the Open Handset Alliance and has worked in conjunction with more than 30 other companies to create Android. Because of this collaboration, the teaming of Ascender and Google are able to put the know-how of Android to work for them in the Droid project. Android was created as a mobile device operating system with a base in Linux. Android was made to be compatible with Java-like applications that are created by the user, and is therefore referred to as “Dream.

Creating the Droid Font

While coming up with a fresh, innovative idea for Android, Google wanted to keep several things in mind that they are known for. One, Google is renowned for their contemporary fonts that are easily adjusted to the specific theme in use. They didn’t want something that would look too tech-y and be harsh to look at, but wanted a font that would quickly captivate the viewer and promote the character of the product. But they didn’t want the font to be the main reason that the product was bought, but rather have it be an added bonus or extra feature to an already great product.

Of the many proposals that were suggested, two stood out from the rest. These two were drastically different from one another and it was concluded that creating something in the middle of the two would be perfect, it wouldn’t be too tech-y or too flighty. Once this decision was made it was easy to begin work on creating a font that maintained the same basic principles of Google and yet remain completely separate. The finished product was perfect for the Dream phone.

Special Features of the Droid Fonts

The extra features of the Droid font will only be available on the G1 or Android mobile phones, making it a rare thing to behold indeed. Practically all of the features of the phone will be converted to the Droid font, such as the address book and the text message features, among others. And when accessing websites on your mobile phone the font of the website will be converted to one of the three Droid fonts, either monospace, sans serif or serif.

If you think that that is almost too much, then you will be amazed to find out that there is a vast assortment of international characters that are used in many Asian countries (China, Japan etc.) If you are looking to find a way to solve a great mystery or want to solve a code you will become quite saddened. The fonts are simply fonts and there is no mystery to be solved.
