Smartphones and OS

Holidays are over! Time to return to work!

Will continue blog posting new  reviews, news and more surprises. Just keep watching!

Even my other forum it’s getting lot of my time I will keep writing here.

 

Today a short but not seen entry related with Motorola and Android.

As you may know the biggest problem that have happened on Android platform it’s because of the updates to Donut, Eclair & Froyo. Let’s summarize the movements made by the different brands:

 

• Acer: Never say a thing but they released some updates for certain models, communication 0
• Dell: no plans at the moment as just released streak after long time, supposed to be easy for Michael  Dell company
• HTC: Most phones sold, no news, just rumors, slow… We will see what will happen with my Magic
• Huawei: we have no idea, as it’s so low priced if get update will be upper than others…
• LG: Another disappeared brand, no info about GW620 not GT450 nor nothing. Also we may add that GT450 will have no updates in my opinion as it’s a phone with Ericsson Manufacture, also known as EMC
• Motorola: Created a webpage to keep Droid/Milestone users about the update situation 10/10 for Motorola.
• Samsung: Spica got updated on certain countries, Galaxy nothing appeared, we will see in the future but, not so bad
• SonyEricsson: They gave news about updates but those will be pretty slow as they have to update so much. It seems like non android phone…

 

So, now it’s time to tell you. Motorola did great because of the following spreadsheet

So, they are working at ALL the models update. Includign the DEXT. This is how the other companies may work. When the magic will die a Motorola will follow!!

Got some issues so writting make it slower. Also discovered, late, the Call of Duty 4 annd got me a bit more of time. Sure this week will publish at least two entries for my followers. Froyo it’s also waiting our commets there.

 

I will try my best and hope that this effort may mean that new users will join our blog

As a way to write more on blog let’s give some extra info regarding the next entries that I’m going to publish in the next hours-days-months :D

 

1. The pending one, about WebOS by Palm HP now that was bought it is even more interesting as got powerful and the carriers are sure to purchase this phones and get support (less than a week after acquire and now Vodafone Spain offers Pixi Plus)
2. Another entry about the less secret product by Apple, the iphone lost&found. Now that Apple secret it’s not so secret many people for sure lost interest on it (Also it’s so ugly!)
3. Talking about Kin by Microsoft, they are about to come and we already know the hardware details, so I will add more info
4. Samsung strategy about Bada, Android and other OS.

 

So, as you can see there are plenty news incoming in a few days. As for now, I leave you this video done by Vodafone workers

 

Seeing this picture make me really happy. And you may say, why being so happy due to just one pic?

 

Well thi is because this pic it showing the self update for applications (pretty useful) and, this was never seen before so may be Android 2.2 and runing in an HTC Magic which means MY PHONE!!! Well if they have the honour to send it back from guarantee repaired some day.

 

So, the Google Dev Phone 2 it’s going to receive updates to at least 2.2 which it’s certainly great!

In my opinion Google should release updates for all the phones but, depending on the specifications allow to a complete update or to a “lite” version with less functionalities. with such simple point all the problems of updates should be done.

 

They main issue that android have nowadays it's with lazy brands that do not update their phones so a contract should be signed to offer at least 2 OS updates.

Another thing that should be done it’s to offer Market in those devices that it’s not at some price.
