Jul 25th
The Top Ranked Android Phones
It is nearly impossible to have not heard about the iPhone and the Blackberry. Most likely you have heard of the Pearl. Another phone on the market you may have heard of is the Android phone. It’s possible you haven’t realized, but the fact is the Google’s Android phones are all over the cell phone market! The reason is many different manufactures of cell phones chose to adopt the Android operating system into their phones. This means your choices for amazing phones are better than you probably thought they were. The top Android phones rank right up there with the other smart phones on the market. When you consider buying a new phone, here are some of the best choices among the Android phones.
The HTC Legend is high in demand. It was established as #1 by the website Know Your Mobile dot com. It is not the first Android phone on the market, but is definitely one of the most popular. It’s possible this is due to the alliance of the HTC user interface with the Android 2.1 operating system. The screen is a touch screen and is a hair larger than three inches in size. One of the coolest features is the control it offers. It is often compared to a track pad or joystick style of control. It also has Wi-Fi capability as well as GPS.
One the in-demand Android phones is the HTC Desire. The Nexus One handset, produced by Google, is available with this Android phone. Essentially, the HTC Desire is an enhanced version of its original model. It has a display screen that is nearly four inches big and uses an Amoled WVGA display. It comes with a snapdragon processor that uses the Android 2.1 operating system. This phone also enlists the use of Adobe Flash (the 10.1 version). The screen is a touch screen and utilizes joystick and track pad technology to aid the user in operating the system.
The Acer BeTouch E400, a rather popular cell phone, runs the Android software. This phone uses the 2.1 Android software platforms. If you want to get technical, it is essentially a smart phone. Touch screen users benefit with more than three inches of screen (3.2 to be exact). The width is no less than twelve millimeters. In addition to GPS, a 600MHz processor and Wi-Fi capabilities, the Acer Company has also installed their own user interface to parlay the Android system. You will not find many reviews on this phone, as it is still fairly new. The Android system, developed by Google, is helping cell phone manufacturers compete with Apple’s iPhone. The Android is known to be Apple’s top competitor and it is the reason other cell phone providers are able to offer an equivalent smart phone to consumers who desire an upgrade from their current phone to something more intelligent and refined. The fact is cell phones are now used for a lot more than just making calls. Today they take photos, play tunes and give you a connection to the Internet. If you desire an upgrade for you’re cell phone but are uncertain if the iPhone is suited for you, the Android powered phone is a viable alternative.

Dual Os T5353 Review – The First Google Android And Wm 6.5 Wifi Gps Smart Phone
Jul 18th
There is no doubt that we will never find a smart phone which combined Google Android 2.0 and Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system together. Diamond T5353 dual OS phone is really a great evolution in the cell phone world. As the first type of double OS smart phone, I recommend it with my two thumbs up.
What are the core selling points of the T5353? Dual OS is the most important one as I have mentioned above. Moreover, 1:1 clones the Diamond 2, Marvell Pxa310 624MHZ CPU, tempered glass touch screen, vacuum Stainless steel body, 5 megapixel camera, supports auto focus and infrared night shooting, Ceramic navigation antenna and Compatible with all of video formats.
How to switch between Windows Mobile and Google Android Operating System? The detailed operation is to put the Windows Mobile system into RAM while Android 2.0 system into micro SD card. Maybe, it is not perfect for switch between the two systems. If you are in Windows Mobile 6.5 system and want to go into Google Android, you had better reopen your phone by touching the power button.
When you open the phone, there is a unique dual system startup menu. The upper one is Windows Mobile system, the lower one is Android system. By click the volume button on the left side of it, you can easily select which system you want. By the way, it seems that it does not work by touching the screen to select. In general conditions, the default system of T5353 is Windows Mobile 6.5, if you do not make a choice between the two systems, it will automatically enter into the Windows Mobile panel.
Under Windows Mobile 6.5 system, with the Marvell Pxa310 624MHZ CPU, 128 RAM and 256ROM, it operating speed is satisfying. But when switching into the Android 2.0, it may get stuck as operating in the same 128 RAM and 256ROM environment. What astonished me most is the super clear 3.2 inch TFT-LCD touch screen, so I do not feel any uncomfortable when even stare it more than 2 hours. And I do not want to say many words about the detail content of the two systems, but I have to mention that this T5353 provides you Google Search Engine, Google Map, Gmail Service, YouTube, calendar and Google Talk function in Android system, while Windows Mobiles has built-in GPS, gravity accelerator chip and also supporting Wi-Fi function which will give you unexpected experience.
Attracted by this dual OS T5353, isn’t it? Yes, as the first dual OS smart phone, it is really a great improvement of the mobile phone technology, which is desired your favor! Welcome to view this China wholesale electronics product at:

Binding Android: Mtk Makes Google Phone Develop Towards Replica Direction
Jun 20th
Being considered as father of replica, cellphone chip manufacture MTK recently disclosed to the media, Android mobile phones program will be drew a charge in the middle of this year; MTK CFO Yu Ming-to expressed, Android things has a little connotation, application platform is simple, MTK will develop more applications so as to provide customers one-stop service.
The move drew attention from net users. some thought MTK turning to Google Android platform will be beneficial to the cellphones massification; but some held dissenting ideas, considered MTK as king of replica, where are, where unlucky.
Why should MTK turn to Google Android? Maybe the following reason can explain. Firstly, customers’ support to Google Android was on the rise, market prospect is brighter and clearer. According to the report, in the past one year, Samsung, HTC, LG and Motorola etc. mobile tycoons join in Android group in succession, and expressed will publish Google Android mobile phones. Besides, China Mobile, China Unioncom and China Telecom also acknowledged Google Android platform and promote vigourously. MTK smart mobile phones turn to Android; it is obviously conductive to its customer finalist carriers’ custom.  Â
Secondly, Google Android is more representative of the future direction of smart phones. Android itself based on the platform of the open source operating system, Linux code can be downloaded free via internet, however, Microsoft charge a certain fees from users. Meanwhile, Android Market is more open. In the Google Android Market, all the developer can upload contents after registering, and all the uploaded contents can be found out immediately in the Android Market, which changed the old obtaining way through charging. Currently, Android applications has more than 20 thousand, moreover, the number had just about 10 thousand last year, almost increased with a speed of 4000 per month.
Furthermore, Android applications growth speed can be already comparable with Apple App Store, therefore, it is beneficial to MTK use Android copy iPhone’s business model, which is also the most important point that MTK turns to Google Android.
But, Google Android platform is not money tree, MTK still faces arduous challenge. MTK’s “replica” solution cause some cellphone manufactures technology deletion, thereby make “replica phones” expand, cellphone homogenization will be serious, and competitiveness is poor. So, some net users considered MTK join in Google Android is not necessarily a good thing, which will make Google Android mobile phones towards cheap copy direction
At the same time, it also faces competition from Google Android platform. Android not only faces competitions from Microsoft, but also its relying operational Linux operating system. In the field taken hold by Microsoft, users who are familiar with Window system may be in hesitation to adopt new operating system.

What Is Android Spy Phone Software? How Does Android Spy Phone Software Work?
Jun 15th
Android spy phone is a cell monitoring application which is used to monitor cell phones using the Android OS. The Android spy app can be installed on any Android mobile that has an data connection. After the Android spy software is installed, it starts to silently record certain cell events.
The way Android spy phone software works, is a person must download the Android spy app right into the Android mobile. This is done thru the Android’s web browser. After the spy software is installed, the spy app becomes undetectable and immediately starts to silently record a range of information (call logs, SMS messages, GPS locations), and then secretly uploads all of the info to an internet web account.
The person that installed the software, can now log into their account, and view all the activity recorded on the Android device.
Here is a list of cell phone events that are logged by this Android spy software app.
* GPS Tracking – With GPS tracking, you can anonymously track the GPS coordinates of an Android user’s mobile. Coordinates are recorded and uploaded in 15 minute intervals, giving you a clear picture where the person you are tracking is.
* Recover & Read deleted SMS messages – All text messages that are received or sent from the Android cell phone are recorded. This means whether or not the SMS text messages are deleted straight after being read, the Android app will still be transmit each message, and give you the ability to read the whole contents of each SMS text message.
* Call History Logs – This Android spy software will permit you to read all the inbound and outgoing call history logs of the cell phone. As well as recording inbound and outbound call info, the name stored in the cell’s contact list that is associated to the number in the call logs (and text messages messages) will be shown.
There are a variety of reasons why someone would want to use Android cell phone spy softare, they include any of the following :
* Monitor & Track Cheating Spouses: Possibly one of the most important reasons why somebody purchases this kind of app is to secretly spy on their spouse or partner. Perhaps they’re concerned that their partner isn’t where they exclaimed they are, or they want to see what messages are being sent late in the evening when suddently “the chairperson calls” or similar sort of situation. With Android spy software, a troubled better half can immediately see whether their partner is indeed being faithful. PC spy software has been about for a long time, but now that communication is being shifted away from PCs, and towards cell phones, there has not been a way to secretly and quietly spy on your spouse’s cell phone, until now.
* Monitor Teen Cell Use: For parents who worry about their teen’s cell use, or desire a method to track their children in case they go missing, mobile spy software is a perfect choice. Perhaps they are worried about their teen is participating in a prohibited activity or parents would like a way to track their teens to guarantee their teen is where they are supposed to be, with Android spy phone software, all of this is possible.
* Employee Monitoring: Android spy software could also be used to observe mobile use on company provided cell phones. In certain industries, more client communiction is occuring on mobile phones thru SMS messages. Without knowing what’s being announced and / or not having the ability to have a record of the communication could be in violation of compliance rules and rules. Also, in the event of a potential suit, not having past records of particular client communication may put the company in peril. With this type of software installed on company provided mobile phones, employers can record notes of such activity.
* Personal Back Up : With enhanced functionality of mobile phones, information storage is quickly becoming a concern. In the past, there was not any simple way to backup your call logs or text messages. Using this kind of software can do all of these things without requiring you to recollect to perform a “back up” of your information. Android cell phone spy software will back up all your text messages & call logs, so you never need to worry about not having an important text message or look for a n important number that was accidently deleted.
To summarize, Android spy phone software is a monitoring application that is used for numerous of reasons to spy on an Android mobile user. Although a few of them might not be seen as “appropriate” in everybody’s eyes, it’s up to the person who purchases the software to choose the best use of the app based on their own unique situation.
