We know that a native Netflix app is coming to Android soon. But it’ll be a bit, and it will start with the NEXT generation of Snapdragon processors. So what does that mean for us in the meantime? Well for those of you with Froyo (should be soon for US Galaxy S owners), PlayOn is bringing an app to the Android market that can perhaps scratch your itch for now. At $40 for the first year and $20/year after that (or $80 for a lifetime subscription), PlayOn will bring you an app that will stream Netflix, Hulu, Comedy Central, Amazon VOD, ESPN 3, and more on your phone. The app is available now in the Android market…video advertisement and full press release below. Read More…
It’s hard to set your expectations for a first person shooter on a platform that is almost completely without them. While the genre might be one of the most popular ones around on home consoles, the style of gameplay becomes rather stifled when brought to touch screen only devices. Despite this, Gameloft is attempting to ride the popular name of Modern Warfare, a pretty bold move.
The tone is set quickly in Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus with a flashy pre-rendered introduction but even when you’re introduced to the in engine cutscenes upon starting a new game you see that some special attention was given here to presentation. Throughout the game you’ll experience cutscenes and scripted events to drive the story forward and break up the action. The story itself is serviceable with dialog that is generally well performed, you’ll also be told to “stay frosty” numerous times, as if the phrase is part of a checklist that games of this type need to include, much like an ice level. As the story unfolds you’ll travel to several vastly different areas, many of which look terrific and show off some of the best visuals I’ve seen on Android, which helps mix up the combat, which can sometimes feel a little drab.
Getting to grips with the controls can be a little clumsy at first, getting used to the sensitivity as well as the actions of: move, crouch, turn, zoom, fire does take a little getting used to but after a few levels you’ll be taking down foes like a pro, although the enemies don’t make themselves particularly difficult targets. For the most part enemies will advance over open terrain until they are in range then start firing, with no real thought to self preservation, in closer quarters they’ll make some attempt to take cover, throw grenades and roll about on the floor, but they don’t put up much of a fight until your faced with larger numbers. The difficulty in Black Pegasus often comes from when you don’t have the opportunity to advance slowly and use cover while you’re being bombarded with large waves of targets and several levels can be extremely easy up until one difficult point, that may or may not be well checkpointed. The lack of inelegance in the AI can make combat rather repetitive on some levels although this is partially offset by the weapon variety and the different locales.
Along with the rather lengthy and enjoyable single player story, Black Pegasus also supports online multiplayer with a variety of different game modes and a persistent leveling system. Even over a regular 3G connection I never experienced any major problems with lag in online games and it is amazing to find that the technical aspects of playing online actually worked a lot better than some high profile console games. The biggest issue with the multiplayer is on a more basic level. When playing the single player story, despite the very functional control method, it doesn’t control as well as a console or PC game and the game deals with this by allowing more time to react and generally being more lenient, however, when playing against other players these same rules don’t apply. Many gunfights are won and lost by who gets the drop on whom as by the time you’ve been hit it’s generally too late to get to safety. There’s also an issue with smaller maps becoming overcrowded and this problem is compacted when playing deathmatch mode and you can simply stand behind a spawn point and just fire away as players respawn. These issues aside, playing matches online can be a great and surreal experience, jumping quickly into an online first person shooter from anywhere for a quick match is a great time passer and it’ll make you wish that more games featured online rather than local multiplayer.
Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus isn’t without it’s faults and it’s unfortunate that its largest ones revolve around the largest part of the game, but Black Pegasus sets a very high bar for mobile first person shooters and it’s absolutely worth looking into if you’ve enjoyed games of this type on home systems.
When you’re ready, head over to the Gameloft’s store and download this game.

One of the bigger things Google wanted to highlight in Android 3.0 was the developers’ ability to take advantage of a new animation framework they’ve included. As we aren’t developers we haven’t gotten a real chance to check it out – and most of the apps we’ve seen at Mobile World Congress have not used the framework – but someone took the time to whip up a basic image gallery that shows what you’ll be able to do should you choose to take advantage. It’s mainly sliding transitions – nothing TOO exciting – but cool and good-looking nonetheless. Check it out in the video above. [Curious Creature via AC]
While Verizon has Skype and while T-Mobile and Sprint both have Qik, AT&T is the only carrier left out of the loop in regards to a major video-calling service provider. That may change according to PC World, who caught wind of a meeting between the two entities. Skype’s Rick Osterloh says to “…what out for some announcements there” in regards to a deal between them and AT&T. It isn’t concrete confirmation – and even Skype is declining to comment on what PC World alleged was said – but they never outright denied the story so I think we definitely will be on the lookout for some announcements in the (hopefully near) future.
A lot of Android tablets look the exact same. Or maybe some would say a lot of Android tablets look like the iPad. Here is one that doesn’t… a made by Marvell prototype that just might come into production courtesy of a well known GPS company:
My two favorite features by far:
The ruggedized rubber look that makes this device stand out from the crowd. I instantly saw it and wondered “what is THAT cool looking thing”? Lots of manufacturers have gone the sleek, sexy and simple route so this unbranded device was a breath of fresh air and I really dug it’s design.
On the back, the holes for the speaker grill were oriented to look like the Android Robot. Lovely touch and fun to see… I haven’t seen this done anywhere else before.
I didn’t evaluate the device based on real world effectiveness – it’s clearly a prototype and doesn’t even have a brand or home yet. I was just incredibly interested in the product design. I’m not sure how well this would fare as a GPS-focused device, which I was told might be the end game, but mostly because we haven’t seen Android widely adopted as a GPS-focused device. I personally think that’s because your phone does navigation quite well with Google Nav regardless, but it also doesn’t have a huge screen.
In any case, argue with the potential for GPS-focused Android devices if you want, but you’ll be hard pressed to convince me that this thing doesn’t look pretty awesome with the tough rubber style and Android robot speaker grill.
You may notice it’s a little more curvy than the Droid Incredible, that’s not all that got changed though. The Incredible S got tweaked a bit from it’s original state. Now featuring a 4″ Super LCD screen, front facing camera, it’s now GSM capable, and has more RAM available. It did lose it’s 8GB flash memory but I’m sure it’ll work out, it has a microSD slot after all.
HTC Incredible S Quick Specs:
4″ Super LCD display
1GHz Snapdragon processor with 768Mb of RAM
1.1GB internal storage
1.3Mp front facing camera, 8MP rear facing camera with LED flash, and video capture
HTC Incredible S The alluring HTC Incredible S smartphone combines cutting-edge design with a premium mobile experience for those who dare to be different. Showing what can be achieved when engineers and designers work together to raise the bar for mobile phone design, the HTC Incredible S smartphone features a stunning, contoured body that highlights the internal hardware components of the device. Capturing and viewing video in crystal clear High-Definition has never been so easy and a bright 4-inch WVGA Super LCD display and stereo surround sound bring a vibrant cinematic experience to the palm of your hand.
HTC Incredible S also takes high quality pictures with its 8-megapixel camera with dual flash, and it easily enables videos, photos and music to be shared from the handset direct to a TV using DLNA® technology. Thanks to the HTC Incredible S’s front facing camera and video call functionality, users will constantly be able to chat with their friends face-to-face.
Availability The HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire S and HTC Incredible S smartphones, will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets during Q2 2011.

At MWC, in the Texas Instruments booth, there could be found a cozy little shack up of the unlikeliest of partners. Get your head out of the gutter man. We’re talking about Pathpartner and Ittiam. At the event, Pathpartner demoed 720p video calling over that famous VOIP app, oh what’s it called? Oh yeah, Skype. You may have heard of it? As of today, Pathpartner is working with Skype in an attempt to get “Skype certified”. The app makers hope to successfully secure a number of other vendors, besides Ittiam, to get their application arriving stock on mobile devices.
The company’s senior technical lead, Alexy Mathew Joseph performed the demo on the OMAP 4 chip set platform, an extremely powerful CPU touted by TI. The OMAP 4 platform offers a number of powerful options such as 1080p video recording and playback, 20 megapixel imaging and approximately a week of audio play time. And now we can add 720p video calls. It’s no surprise why Pathpartner wants to develop the rich video application on a handset running this platform. This is certainly promising for Android users as it opens up a slew of doors when it comes to communication over video. The app is being reported as possibly hitting Android devices some time near the end of 2011. Head back over to Talk Android as we keep a close eye on the company’s emerging product and don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.
Honey they shrunk the Nexus One!?!! Wait where did the trackball go?… This isn’t a Nexus One at all… Yeah, this is the new Wildfire S, and as with the other two “S” phone revamps, it did gain some improvements over the original. The Wildfire S has more RAM, and a better quality Super LCD display.
Building on the popularity of the HTC Wildfire™ smartphone, the HTC Wildfire S smartphone is an affordable, compact and playful device that packs a powerful smartphone experience. It enables people to maintain and build connections and friendships through popular sites like Facebook®, as well as through voice and text messaging. You can instantly tag your friends in photos before posting them on Facebook, or share your latest discoveries from the Android™ Market at the touch of a button.
HTC Wildfire S is one of HTC’s smallest phones ever – measuring just 10.13cm long and 5.94cm wide – and boasts a distinctive 3.2 inch, HVGA display.
Celebrate your individuality and choose from a wide variety of colors including black, purple and white. The phone’s home screen is fully customizable with your favorite apps, widgets and content, while a 5-megapixel color camera with auto focus, expandable microSD™ memory and support for a variety of audio and video formats make a great all-around multimedia device that slips easily into any pocket.
Availability The HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire S and HTC Incredible S smartphones, will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets during Q2 2011.

We got a few minutes to tour a couple brand new products from NEC that are destined to hit the shores of Japan for too long. The first Android tablet you see demoed has dual-screens with special multi-tasking features built-in while the second device is essentially an Android netbook/laptop. The latter will be out this week while the former is coming in the next couple months – both in Japan.
NEC hopes to gain popularity with these tablets and offer them in Europe and the United States, but I have to question that possibility. After seeing the XOOM, Optimus Pad, and Galaxy S2, I simply dont see the point in buying any type of Android Tablet that is running 2.X.
Android 3.0 is optimized for tablets and you can tell – most of the Android 2.X tablets are buggy, glitchy, underpowered, and the next generation is already arriving. Manufacturers would be smart to shelve any tablets they’ve got running Android 2.X and immediately begin working on launching products with Android 3.0 if they want to seriously compete.
And of course, the idea is to get AHEAD of the curve, so perhaps focusing on Android 3.0 isn’t enough. Maybe they should be working on Android 3.X and beyond… and in that case it’s a matter of getting enough access.
ZTE had a pair of tablets on-hand at Mobile World Congress – the V9 and the V9 Plus. The short story: the V9 left a bad taste in my mouth, and moving on to the Plus made it a bit more tolerable. It’s clear ZTE’s still looking to hang around the low-end market for at least the first half of this year.
Both devices are 7 inch tablets running Android – not Honeycomb, unfortunately – and its resolution is only WVGA. Certainly not the high-end beast I thought I’d be checking out when ZTE’s Vice President said they were looking to take that next step.
And the V9 itself was just bad. I often had to press things twice to open them, swiping between homescreens was a pain, and it only has Android 2.1. Even in a world of Honeycomb, I would’ve appreciated Froyo, at least.
The V9 Plus was a bit better: it adds Android 2.2 and a 1GHz processor. The bump in speed beneath the hood translated well to user experience, though. I had no trouble doing what I wanted to do, but it wasn’t blazingly fast.
ZTE’s always been known as a low-end manufacturer, and while they had hoped things would change in 2011, it hasn’t. I’m hoping they really upgrade their wares as their competitor Huawei has as competition is key and they’ll be well-positioned with handsets in all financial levels of the market.
If you’re in North America, the UK, or Spain you can already download the newly-announced BlackBerry Travel app from App World and give it a go for yourself (see our original BlackBerry Travel App post for full details and download info). If you’re not in those regions and want to see what you’re missing, or if you just want to see it in action before you download, then check out the video above. Live on location at Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona, Spain, we got a good look at the BlackBerry Travel app by the folks at WorldMate, who have put a ton of hard work into this app over the years.
While the original Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was geared toward music lovers and social networking buffs – and while the Xperia X10 Mini Pro looked to bring the first keyboard to the Android-based branch of the Xperia family – the Xperia Pro seems more like a device for business professionals than anything.
The first thing I was interested in was the keyboard. It’s great, in my opinion. Keys are well-spaced, the buttons are raised just high enough to feel good moving across them with your finger, and feedback is just as thrilling. I could’ve done with a number row and a few navigational keys, but that’s layout stuff that’ll differ from phone to phone.
They introduced a feature called “Smart Keyboard” where exposing the QWERTY keyboard presents you with a list of options depending on which app you’re in. In email, for instance, it’ll ask you if you want to reply, reply all, or forward an email in a context menu. Text messages are handled quite similarly. It’s context sensitive and while I’m not exactly sure how often the menu comes up and in what situation, it’s still a cool feature. I just hope users will be able to turn it off as it seems like something that could unintentionally annoy you.
Another unique addition to this phone software-wise was the split pane view in the email application. When looking at an email in landscape mode, you’ll get a list of items on the right, and clicking on one will bring the email up on the left. You are even able to resize the separator, something I’ve never seen done before.
I was a bit disappointed that it doesn’t have the Exmor camera sensor that Sony introduced with the Xperia Arc – that thing takes amazing photos in any lighting conditions. The Pro’s camera wasn’t bad, though, it just wasn’t as good as the best on the market.
Other than that, it’s your ordinary next-gen Xperia phone – it has Android 2.3 with Sony Ericsson’s custom user interface on top, an HDMI port, a front-facing camera, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor with the Adreno 205 GPU, and Sony’s Bravia Engine to make that 3.7 inch FWVGA display look beautiful while displaying photos and playing back video. Take a look at the video tour above for a better idea.
This, without a doubt, has to be a sure sign of great things to come for the Android gaming community. Caught on tape is the LG Optimus 2X running Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 technology. During a look at the 2X, we saw the “Epic Citadel” tech demo running on the device and being mirrored via its HDMI out capabilities up on the big screen. Check out the video below of the demo in action. You can see the demo running flawlessly on the device and on the TV. Not bad at all for a handheld eh? This should bring high hopes to Android gamers everywhere as this type of technology begins to roll out in conjunction with dual-core processors and high end GPU’s. I know Im highly looking forward to rocking games like Infinity Blade and Gears Of War on my Android device. How about you?
If you’re like us, you’re still probably trying to figure out how a 3D mobile phone experience is going to affect your life. We’re but a few days away from LG dropping the Optimus 3D on us and we’re scrambling to understand how our world will be impacted by glasses-free 3D on an Android handset. What sounds awesome to some of you leaves the rest of us scratching our heads. Thankfully, LG has put together a 1-minute video that speaks to everyone. Everyone in the Yoga community that is. Hit the break to see what we’re talking about.
So, now that you know what to do with it, are you buying one?
The U.S. Department of Energy today debuted a new portal called ScienceCinema that uses speech analysis and indexing technology from Microsoft Research to let people search the contents of scientific videos and presentations produced by the DOE National Laboratories and other DOE research sites.
ScienceCinema lets you to search videos for words and phrases spoken within the video files.
The Microsoft Research Audio Video Indexing System (MAVIS) is a set of software components that use speech recognition technology to enable searching of digitized spoken content, whether they are from meetings, conference calls, voice mails, presentations, online lectures, or even Internet video.
Adobe says you can transcribe spoken words to text and use Speech Search to find precise locations in clips using Premiere Pro. Speech Search makes editing clips of speaking talent quicker.
Ok, if the glasses-free 3D on LG’s Optimus 3D really looks like it does in this commercial, I’m getting 5 of them, but something tells me this is a bit of a stretch – pun intended. I especially like the way they portray take that some things are just too complicated to figure out from watching it in 2D – like learning certain yoga poses.
Because you know, if you can’t figure it out on your flat 42″ 2D screen, it’s obviously easier to figure out on a 3D 4.3″ smartphone screen. If anything, it was pretty comical, and maybe one day we will have a phone capable of this type of technology, but until then I’m quite content with checking out the girls doing yoga poses at my gym in Real-D.
Motorola’s got a silver version of the XOOM tablet out in the wild, it looks like. If all black isn’t your thing, it’s another option that may end up on store shelves alongside the device’s WiFi-only release, which the gentlemen in the video confirms will happen.
He also confirms that a 3G version that uses GSM technology is in the works, so folks on carriers other than Verizon and folks in Europe can rest easy knowing you’ll be able to at least import the device and use it on your network of choice. He gives us a tour of the silver version, but other than its color, it’s nothing we haven’t already seen. Video is above. [tBreak via Engadget] [Thanks, Jdog!]
There’s been a lot of talk about a Facebook phone, and at first, I doubted. Then Facebook executives explicitly denied the rumors, and I considered my doubts vindicated. But then the rumors persisted, and I started to worry that Facebook was pulling a Google-style “We are not building an Android phone” line, relying on the technicality that they are not providing the hardware for the phone. And sadly, these fears have been confirmed today by TechCrunch. They have been granted an exclusive video tour of the first Facebook phone, built by INQ. They’re also reporting that HTC is building a phone as well, and that these will be but two of several Facebook phones, with the hardware for each being provided by different manufacturers.
Hit the source link for the full story, watch the video, and report back to us with your thoughts. Myself, I’m not excited, but it seems like they’re aiming for cheap phones for the teenage crowd. I’m not in the target demographic, but as long as they keep their audience in mind, perhaps they’ll be able to find the success they seek. But is that a good thing? Let us know in the comments!
So here’s another concept home replacement that we won’t be able to see for months and has us excited for (hopefully) an eventual release. It’s called Sentio UI and reminds me of my old Winmo 6.X days, only ten times better, prettier, and awesomer. (I’m aware that last word isn’t actually a word.)
One developer named REALigion wants to take the stuff you see in the video above and make it a true homescreen replacement for Android, but he needs feedback and community support to help speed the project along.
Expect the app to cost some dough in the Android market once it’s out if you want the full experience, but a free limited version has been promised. He also expects it to work for most users regardless of root status, though hardware may need to be up to par for the best experience.
I’m excited for the potential of this project, even if it pains me to know that I probably won’t be seeing it until well after the summer. Check the video out above and let us know if you’re as impressed as we are. Follow the project at SentioUI.com. [Droid Life]
I have mixed feelings about the Kyocera Echo. It’s dual-screen design is actually pretty clever — a lot like the NEC dual-screen tablet we saw at CES — but something about it doesn’t scream “your next Android device.” Maybe it’s the Kyocera name tag and the history of disappointment that goes along with it. Maybe it is the fact that the two screens come off more gimmicky than anything. But really it has a whole lot to do with the fact that the touted technology isn’t across the whole system. Only certain applications built with Kyocera’s multi-tasking dual-screen APIs really benefit, and in the case of the Echo this includes only core apps right now.
As it is, regular apps will display across both screens or in single-screen mode. Core apps like mail, the gallery, and the browser can be set into dual-app mode using a gesture across both screens, or they can function in special modes designed to utilize both swaths of screen real estate individually. A cool concept that ultimately gets bagged down by the Echo’s lack luster performance. Sure, a 1GHz Snapdragon sounds good on paper but it just isn’t humming like it should in this device.
We’ll give the hardware some style points. It doesn’t look half bad and remains a pretty manageable form-factor despite the two screens. This is thanks to a specially designed hinge mechanism. But the benefits of a two screens are also their downfall. Admitting battery life is going to be an issue, Sprint is stocking every owner of the Echo with a backup battery and charging brick to combat excess drain caused by two glowing displays.
So my mixed feelings remain, but we like where this could go. If Android had some of this functionality built into its core to encourage more manufacturers to create dual-screen devices it might be something worth getting excited about, but as a system solely devoted to Kyocera’s product, we don’t see it catching on.
Last week AT&T gave us a 60-second rundown of the HTC Inspire 4G, and now the Motorola Atrix 4G is getting the same treatment. If you want the quick and slick story on the Atrix 4G, this is the video you want to watch. Even though the laptop dock’s $499.99 price tag (with or without the Atrix 4G) is a bit discouraging, the $199.99 price point for the phone alone is more than reasonable for a handset boasting a dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. In case you need a refresher on the rest, here’s the vid:
It’s not a whole lot of extra footage here, so don’t go making any popcorn for it. Rather, save that for the game later today. This video is all of 10 seconds and simply shows us what the Honeycomb boot Animation looks like on a Motorola Xoom. Enjoy!
Last week, as part of our Macworld 2011 coverage, we put together a series of videos highlighting unique and interesting products on the show floor. Though the tools for shooting and editing have gotten better in the last few years, it remains a challenge to figure out how to put these pieces together on the fly, as so many things can (and will) go wrong. Here are a few tips we’ve found that work (and that don’t) when shooting video on a show floor.
