what's up guys at CJ lips true from paka now calm in the last HTC droid incredible video we took a look at the sense interface and HTC widgets so in this video we'll be focusing on some of the other features found on the device like live wallpapers camera and video settings apps multi-touch usage and flash implementation in the browser so one of my favorite features of android 2.1 is the live wallpapers it instantly spruces up the home screen with animated and sometimes interactive backgrounds it does consume slightly more battery but for many people it's one of those features where you're willing to give up some of that precious battery life in favor of some eye candy so the wallpaper i currently have enabled is probably my favorite it's basically a pond and when you tap on the screen you can see that it interacts with the wallpaper and has this cool little ripple effect also there are some leaves that float along the water so let's check out some other wallpapers will go to live wallpapers the first one is called galaxy which i guess is cool if you're into astronomy and will go back to the lot of wallpapers this one's called grass this one's neat because the blades of grass will actually move like there's a slight breeze and the background will change depending on the time of day so when the sun is out it'll be a light blue color when the sun goes up or it goes down there'll be an orange tint and at night you'll see a dark background so very cool HTC Sense this is HTC's custom wallpaper with spotlights that move around and fluctuating colors in the background very retro magic smoke this is one of my favorites too because you have many choices and color combinations so let's check them out so again many choices this one is for music fans it actually interacts with your music player so the needle will bounce around and the wavelengths will fluctuate let's actually test this out I have the music player muted right now but as you can see it's moving with the beat go back to the live wallpapers maps will basically put the google maps right in your background and it has a cool factor to it but it's going to use a more battery because it has to locate where you are polar clock if you want to unique clock on your background spectrum another wallpaper that interacts with your music player here's that meter you can see the needle bouncing around and waveform which is a visually visually loud wallpaper so those were live wallpapers let's actually go to the app tray and check out some of the apps that come loaded on the device we have a calculator we have shortcuts to calendar and call history the video camera camera which will cover later car panel which is a finger friendly way to access some options that you would want in your car we have footprints for geotagging photos google navigation which has turn by turn voice directions google voice search google maps text search and you can have some calling options city ID clocks Facebook FM radio you'll need to plug in a set of headphones to act as an antenna footprints live stream french stream I mean which is your social networking client the Gmail application internet browser male Google Maps Android Market PDF viewer your music player peep which is HTC's Twitter client quickoffice is wha an application for viewing your documents and spreadsheets office related items google talk teeter is a labyrinth type game voice dialer is cool because you can make calls and and open applications using your voice here's a visual voicemail application as you can see you can easily play messages just by going to this area of your device voice recorder which has same interface as the FM radio google voice search the weather application and the standard YouTube application so some nice applications here if we go to the android market you can see that verizon has its own little section for V CAST apps here we have skype mobile which i believe is limited to verizon customers at the moment NFL mobile for football fans my verizon is for viewing account information visual voicemail verizon wireless tones for searching and buying ringtones vcast media manager is to manage content between your device and your computer and the rest look like they're just recommended occasions so those are the apps on the device moving on the droid incredible does support multitouch HTC has actually implemented a cool multi-touch gesture for easily jumping from one side of the home screen to another you just pinch on the screen and then you select a different screen so it's very convenient of course multi-touch is all the rage these days because of the ability to pinch zoom on pictures and in the internet browser so let's first check it out in pictures this photo looks good we can pinch to zoom in and pinch to zoom out you can also double tap to zoom in and out if you prefer to do it that way so let's check it out in the internet browser and here we are at pocketnow.com so we can just zoom in and as you can see the text reflows nicely with the screen here you can double tap as well so that's pinch to zoom so let's actually go back to the browser and check out some flash implementation I'm going to do this by going to flash calm and I'll use voice recognition software flash calm as you can see it filled out flash calm quickly I'll press ENTER and load up the adobe website alright it looks like it's done rendering here we have some content below and some flash video should start playing in a second this is over verizon's 3g network alright so it's not the smoothest but as you can see it does play and it works so let's go home and finally let me give you a rundown of the camera settings the incredible does have an 8 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-led flash so we'll give you a glimpse at the settings click camera and here we can set the flash settings if you want it to be on auto on or off you can zoom in easily by pressing that and using the touch screen this will pull up the picture album here we can switch between photo and video brightness settings contrast saturation sharpness settings we can add some effects like grayscale sepia negative Solarize in case you want to pretend you're the predator poster eyes aqua here we can change some other settings like white balance camera resolution again it is an 8 megapixel camera you can set if you want widescreen or standard image quality timer geotag photos metering mode the review duration turn on auto focus shutter sound time stamp and grid let's go to the video settings these three are basically the same let's go down here we can record in wvga that's 800 x 480 vga CIF key vga recording length in case you don't want to use up all of your storage recording a really long video and the rest look about the same so let's actually take a picture of an object to go to photo and you just tap on the screen to zoom in and then you press the joypad button in to take the picture so there's a shot of that you can also take the picture by tapping and holding on the screen let's try it again ah there we go and we get some extra settings like going back to the camera deleting sharing which we can share with Bluetooth facebook flickr gmail mail messaging twitter and picasa so some nice features there so this was part two of our software tour for
