we go hands-on berlin's IFA event to show you what's hot in android Eric Schmidt goes on record to talk about the motorola deal and the sprint galaxy s2 already disappoints all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm high never be better with pocketnow.com and welcome to android Revolution the shore we go through what's hot and what's not inside the world of Google's Android project let's start this week off with what's hot after a crazy week full of Samsung releases that even made us put android revolution a couple of days just to be able to cover them let's go through what's going to happen with these devices first of all let's talk about the samsung galaxy s know which is that 5-inch display stylist face device sammy is going to be pushed till twenty-twelve in the UK and there's no defined date for the United States whenever it happens first of all just know that Samsung just released their galaxy s2 in white for Vodafone UK so hopefully it's not going to take much time now the risin finally and I mean finally has launched their droid bionic and it's going to be available for orders as of September 8 so be ready for it because everybody's been waiting for it and while talking about AT&T now the LG thrill 4g and the HTC jetstream have just begun being sold in AT&T and while the throw 4G brings the 3d love that AT&T has been missing and the HTC jetstream brings HTC Sense on a tablet android tablet honeycomb for ATT though sadly that's the only common sense it makes because it's a seven hundred dollar price tag for a fully subsidized tablet I think they're crazy but anyways AT&T is also offering their mid-range highway impulse 4g so if you're looking out for a mid-range device that's also available now talking about the UK again sony ericsson xperia arc s got priced in europe but it's going to cost you around 600 bucks after you after the exchange rates so if they're already receiving to pre-orders ass up September 26 so make sure you're looking around for that though we still don't have a clear picture on one that's making it to the United States and well aside from that the other xperia ray has also been released in the UK for pre-orders as of September 5th which was a couple of days ago so make sure you look out for that too and while by the way if you're looking for that samsung epic 4g touch which is the variant of the galaxy s2 that's being sold in Sprint's make sure you look around for Wirefly because they currently have it fifty dollars off on pre-order really good device is really good deals hopefully we get some more concrete dates for other devices that we've been waiting for very soon and well our man Evan Blass expert in all leagues foreign domestic just hooked us up with some more leaks and well first of all one disappointing note Samson pretty much confirmed that they will be doing the nexus prime and then it'll carry Ice Cream Sandwich as we all know but the sad news here is that apparently it will bring a wvga screen and wvga I mean I remember when my old HTC touch pro2 was hot last decade with a screen resolution that was that but there's really bad I mean this is the time of qhd and even 720p is what we were expecting but sadly that apparently is not going to be the case now the good news is that it's been confirmed that ice cream sandwiches on scheduled to be released around October November so hopefully my advice to you hold onto your wallets because most probably this will be the hottest device of the year on a good note the samsung stratosphere just hit the FCC with some verizon LTE love and it seems that it will bring the sliding keyboard soon to your verizon network hopefully somewhere around September the HTC rhyme was also leaked as an Android offering for verizon as early as September also and apparently it already got certified for dland a support so it does seem to be a very hot device to on AT&T the HTC holiday already proved to have some AT&T LTE love it has a qHD display and apparently it's going to be the hot topic for ATT eventually and finally LG is already talking about an optimist 3d too for next year and apparently it's going to be just 7 millimeters thin you imagine that well according to them it's even going to bring enhancements in 3d technology for you to not get any eye strain so hopefully these leaks and rumors will be better for next year or probably sooner this year let's see what happens and while out of our own coverage this week our men and tandy naggy was at Berlin for our IFA event and was nice enough to film some hands-on videos of the samsung galaxy s note the lg optimus sol the sony ericsson xperia arc s and the neo v which you can find on our youtube channel and our posts within the website sadly Anton was nice enough to also get beer but not send us any so shame on you man and while Joe Levi's currently also posted an article a samsung pure breeze app launcher which we do recommend you have a look at on our website and while Adam lines currently already reviewing the LG thrill 4g though sadly he's not too thrilled about the device according to him on twitter well he gets to see android crash on 3d which is not really good news but make sure you look at the review most probably there will be some good things about the device you probably can look at if you're interested in buying Eric Schmidt Google's former CEO and current executive chairman on the board just came on record to state that they didn't really buy motorola only for the pens according to him he's really confident on the future roadmap up device is coming from motorola and he's also confident on the team that's working there and that's probably one of the main reasons why they didn't really absorb the company completely they're letting it work on its own now well let's talk about it i mean motorola did a really good job in putting android on the map they weren't the first to release an android device but they did a really good job in marketing and in the vise quality and well android pretty much got motorola add a chapter 11 whenever they were almost going to fall there so that's really good but let's be honest i mean the only flop there was blur but still it is working in well google is not really losing here it's 25,000 pens that are currently held by motorola even if devices sucked those pens really make android future be you know promising because obviously there are other patent trolls with the size of the fruit that we all know about that are really making things hard for Android manufacturers so hopefully this will really help android rome app for the future i consider a smart move okay so that does it for what's hot let's continue on with what's not and let me get this straight sprint samsung and google were the ones that pretty much pioneered NFC technology in the United States with Google Wallet on sprint on the sprint Nexus S that came from Samsung so why is it that the AT&T and t-mobile variants of the samsung galaxy s2 do bring NFC technology but then the Sprint's epic 4g touch i think that's the name it's a long name variant galaxy s2 is not bringing it I mean what's going on here is it is this showing that NFC did not work on sprint as well as they expected could this be that Google Wallet actually flopped that they don't want to prove it or at least tell about it I mean that's really a flop by our standards I mean not really understanding why a Samsung device and all the three players that are working here that not bring this technology but then it came to other devices other variants and other networks what's going on here now what's this rumor about Samson dropping Android for their own proprietary Linux based OS I mean are they crazy first of all remember that Android was really what puts a me on the map again for smartphones after windows mobile and those omnia devices there were good but not great and well Android was really being benefited by Samsung's sexiness in design with their Galaxy S line now these are really bad news first of all for everybody because Sam's legs not really going to win here first of all developers don't really have the energy of pushing applications to more operating systems just think about what's happening to Honeycomb right now I mean honeycomb is Android but developers are not really doing a good job in quickly porting their applications because it's more work first of all and will imagine an echo system of devices from Samsung that won't really have applications I really see a flop there and well androids going to be losing their most famous designer as of now not really good news but and you know obviously Samson could probably think of a way to bring Android applications to work on this Linux based OS hopefully that's going to be the case but not really sure what to expect I don't really think it's beneficial for anybody in Samson were first talking about webos then windows phone 7 and what about this I mean you already got bought and it's you know it's doing well but it's not really doing perfectly so let's see what happens that's it for today show thank you very much for watching I'm High Middle you better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
