hey guys John render from TechnoBuffalo here one of the cool things about the Nexus One Android in particular in the presence of these interactive backgrounds or live wallpapers as Google is calling them so you've demonstrated of what they look like and show you the stock ones that come on the Nexus One what you're looking at right here is called the nexus wallpaper and you can see these little lines moving around and as you touch the screen you can see that there's some interactivity and that's true when you on a screen with icons it still does just the same let me show you the other live wallpapers that come on the Nexus One to access them you just hold down on the home screen go to wallpapers and there's a new item there called live wallpapers so take a look at galaxy first I'll show you what all these look like and not so you can sort of see a little bit of the speed of the Snapdragon processor this one doesn't really respond to your touch but it is moving in the background you can see it a little bit of a swirl and as you go from homescreen to homescreen it changes just a little bit let's go ahead and check out the next one next one we've got is called grass this one's sort of neat application so this is a problem that a lot of people with the Nexus One or having I saw it and gadget demonstrate the same issue the grass wallpaper forever reason does not seem to function so go ahead and foreclose it let's go ahead and try the next one you can see that there are still problems that are being associated with Android 2.1 inside defaulted right back to the previous wallpaper so we'll go to magic smoke set that as well paper and some of these are very fun you can sort of see the potential that these might have all this certainly they're a little bit of a battery drain it's not as big a drain as you might expect this is just smoke that moves doesn't respond to your touch but it sort of looks like a slime background kind of neat check out the next one next time we've got is one called many Allmusic visualizations together slowly revolving 3d so I believe this one if you're playing music it'll show sort of the equalization that's going on and it's an effect to go along with it that's really all it is sounds a little bit on the boring side then check out the next ones okay this one is called polar clop it's actually pretty neat it presents the date and time as clockwise arts month day hour minute and second don't show what that looks like so again not working so there are still some problems with these quit unexpectedly so let's go ahead and try the next one I'm going to force close this but that's just one it's certainly not without its bugs and areas and you can see I'm trying to hit the home button with little avail there it goes saved a little bit of time yes we see that they're working out some of the errors with this so see that other else we have we hit the wrong button wallpapers live wallpapers and there are a few more that are kind of neat here's spectrum actually as a frequency spectrum of any current playing music track and that's that all it does and as you go ahead and move it along it'll move a little bit and if you're playing music it would bump and grind for you like it's doing right now and just a few more to go through got view meter it simulates an analogue sound meter doesn't really do that much one of the ones I didn't want to show you is water this one another one that reacts to your touch and it's kind of neat go ahead and set wallpaper go to screen here I can show you a little bit you get ripples as you touch it kind of neat you can move the leaves around sort of flow it's mostly just they're just a time killer if you want to play around some people find it relaxing just one of the other neat features that's found on the Nexus One as you guys can see these are pretty handy but relatively useless I'm just gonna drain the battery nice kind of like it I've kept the Nexus as my homescreen since I got the phone yesterday but there are still some errors as you saw with some of the live wallpapers so guys hope you enjoyed if you have any questions about the next is one of the things you want to see you leave them in the comments or a video response from very curious and for all your Nexus One coverage and upcoming CES coverage sure to stay tuned to TechnoBuffalo I'm John Rhett enger' and I'll see you in the next video
