2011-12-18
we go hands on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and tell you all about it have you ever heard of Google in the gel and malware seems to be the top news for Android this week all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm high memory that I was talking out I've common welcome to Android revolution the show 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 since the hottest news of the week you have to do with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus let's go through all week's coverage first of all make sure you catch Adam lanes recent video unboxing of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus which proves to be a very compelling device aside from that Jeff later talks us through the LG Nitro HD from AT&T which seems to be quite compelling not in design wise but it does have really good specs like for example in a HD display and LTE for AT&T aside from that Jolie by later walks us through how to get the apk file to get Google Wallet on your verizon Galaxy Nexus which you most likely already purchased and if you're not really a fan of circles in the folders designed for Ice Cream Sandwich make sure you catch the link in the description or details on how to get it changed into a box or a folder or whatever you want so also take some time to show us the Nova Launcher for Android and hey if you're wondering of those other launchers like for example a TW & launcher pro worker on Ice Cream Sandwich make sure you watch the video from Joe Levi which brings us all the details on what works and what doesn't software updates have been the hottest news this week and well the hottest one of them all is the fact that Google has just released their update for Ice Cream Sandwich for the Nexus S if you're currently carrying a Nexus S the difference between it and the Galaxy Nexus is a bit compelling but hey you could probably save yourself a couple of bucks just update it's currently free so test it out and see what it's looked like Facebook has just updated their Timeline feature to work on their website and interesting enough Android is gonna be the first operating system to be able to rock it so all you have to do is update four timelines to work as your new wall in facebook and you'll see the new updates on the Facebook application as long as you update it if you're also worried about getting Adobe Flash and Ice Cream Sandwich don't be anymore because Adobe has just released the update for Flash Player to work on Ice Cream Sandwich out of the rumors for the week Sony and wait notice that I didn't mention Sony Ericsson I mentioned Sony has just launched images of an Xperia L T 22 device showing while the typical art design but sadly no Eric sent from here on sure what to expect there and while Sony's Walkman Z also came through the FCC getting that Android love on a music player it's not going to become a phone kind of interesting for those of you that are interested and when Sony now spells even more images of the Xperia Mazzoni which plans to be the Ark HD though sadly it seems to be like a catch-up to kind of Isis out there like for example the Galaxy Nexus if you had any doubts about all the buzz about this LG spectrum we also had images of the device for retail and while the Verizon Galaxy Nexus also popped up on images and even a video showing an extended battery and a chubbier battery cover wonder what that'll be like and well what is this about Google Majel what's this project then well it seems that Google is planning to strike back at Apple Siri with a new service which will bring you more natural voice control not saying you don't have voice control on Android devices just series a bit more natural so it seems that Google is working on this project with Google X to launch a more natural software and if you wonder what the gel is look at Star Trek and while it seems that the project's quite compelling though sadly was planned to be out by these this holiday season so seems that Google needs to be doing a little catch-up on timing and let's see what happens in the end on the dark side for the week have a look at Joe Levi's recent article all the top modifications she can give the Galaxy Nexus because it's so easy to root it and unlock it later make sure you catch this article from Joe which brings you different details and things you could do with the Ice Cream Sandwich launcher which looks quite compelling after you're rooting treatment and while the Motorola Droid Razr also came up on video with Ice Cream Sandwich running on it though sadly it's not official so not sure when that's coming but it has been announced so let's hope it's soon and before we go through what's not hot well let's talk about the smartphone releases for the week we only got one and that was the LG product phone that finally came out it's not gonna be called the k2 but sadly it's gonna be called the Prada phone by LG 3.0 kind of a weird name the specs are quite compelling if you compare it to anything that's out there from last year Savi it's going to bring up WVGA resolution display in this decade sad news for the device because so far if it wasn't for the display the device would be really good that doesn't for what's hot let's continue on with what's not in well recent studies show that now on Android isn't getting any better so far studies even show the fact that malware applications have doubled in the past six months now an interesting note here is that it seems that all these malware attempts are not coming from the Android Market they're either coming from other applications sources like for example some other app stores out there and even the fact that you siloed applications after you either do it legally or route it now interesting enough is the fact that Google seems to be crossing their arms there and just saying well it's not our fault when Google doesn't really have a clear picture of how much this is actually hindering the platform I think that Google should actually consider the fact that no matter where malware comes from it shouldn't be treated by Google itself and probably deal with it somehow because any other way people are gonna stop consuming Android smartphones just because they aren't safe imagine an enterprise without Android smartphones in the future seems kind of grim to me that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm hi metal you better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
