Audio Galaxy Android

Music lovers with gigantic audio libraries (like myself) can now stream directly to your Android device! Audio Galaxy is now available in the Android Market.

Pretty easy to use, simply sign up at audiogalaxy.com and download the application for either Windows or mac. The program will automatically search for your music (you can specify locations as well) and load them up ready to stream. Once you have that ready, simply install the Audio Galaxy app from the market, and follow the simple setup to start streaming.

This is surprisingly one of few apps out there that can do it well, and its free! No copying, no moving, no syncing, just stream it!

Notion Ink Adam

The Notion Ink Adam seems to be getting some more attention according to the Notion Ink blog. They have been developing a new way for the Adam to multitask aside from the standard method with Android OS.

The multitask feature to be installed on the Adam is called “Eden”, which fundamentally looks like they’ve taken a few pages from Linux lovers on how to maximize screen real estate, and application multitasking.

Orange to bring monthly contracts to its San Francisco phone

UK wireless provider Orange appears to be planning on offering their San Francisco phone on a subsidized monthly contract. The news comes via the advert posted above (read the fine print), and may be a viable option for customers who can’t or don’t want to shell out £99 for the device.

Orange has not issued a statement as to when they might implement such a pricing option, or for how much, so stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Samsung removes Galaxy S Froyo source code

Yesterday, we reported the wonderful news that Samsung had released the official Froyo source code for their line of Galaxy S devices. Now, however, it appears that Samsung has pulled the source code from their site, so if you weren’t able to get your hands on it yesterday, you’re either going to have to wait or make some good connections.

We can only assume that yesterday was not meant to be the official release date for the source code, and we can imagine that there’s an employee at Samsung who might be in a whole heap of trouble. While we can hope that the removal of the source code download doesn’t mean that the release of Froyo isn’t farther off for the Galaxy S line, it’s pretty likely that those fear are fact.

While Samsung has not yet committed to a new date (or even explained the removal of the code from their OpenSource site), we will sit and wait for the official release from the mobile giant. The good news? It’s pretty likely that all the hackers and modders creating custom ROMs already got their hands on this source code yesterday, and they are usually more vigilant about bug fixes than the actual manufacturers ever are.

Motorola officially acknowledges Droid X Froyo issues

Motorola has officially acknowledged a series of issues related to the semi-recent Droid X Android 2.2 update. Users have been reporting these issues for weeks, so there are no real surprises here. Below is the post made on the official Motorola support forums.

  • Stuck on Moto logo after reboot – this was tough on a very few owners. Sorry about that. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release. If you are still experiencing this issue, click here.
  • Random rebooting – while there always seem to be new conditions that can cause an electronic device to panic, we do have improvements coming that address and eliminate identified panic states. They will be distributed in a future software release.
  • WiFi connection and stability – improvements in WiFi have been developed, to address several problem areas. They will be distributed in a future software release.
  • Battery Manager “force close” errors – under some circumstances, pressing the battery icon under Menu > Settings > Battery Manager results in a forced close error. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
  • Media won’t play – includes “sorry the player does not support this type of audio file,” custom ringtone stop working, video won’t play, etc. A reboot will restore full media function, but not permanently. We believe we have identified the cause of these errors. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
  • Music files cutting off the final four seconds or so – a solution has been developed. It will be distributed in a future software release.

Motorola has not given any indication as to when a software update will be available, but at least they have finally formally acknowledged these issues. Fear not Droid X owners, help is on the way.

Opera Mobile coming soon – brings pinch to zoom & hardware acceleration

What’s that? Opera Mobile is already available? – check again, that is Opera “Mini”, this is Opera “Mobile”. I’m sure it’s quite similar to its sister app, but this new version of the mobile Opera browser packs a few new features. One that’s been missing is the coveted pinch-to-zoom action. It’s about time too, as this has been one of the first features that got us giddy about multi-touch interfaces It’s also the reason we are all secretly being turned into crabs. Admit it, you are making the pinching movements right now.

Opera Mobile is also throwing in hardware acceleration. This allows the little red browser to take full advantage of your mobile phone’s GPU, giving you fluid pinching power! Oh, it also improves browsing speeds, like rendering of graphics and smoother scrolling. Mmmm yea, smooth like butter – wait, keep that away from me!

Don’t forget Opera already does off-site web page compression. Basically squeezing that data down as much as 90% before sending it to your phone for faster load times. So when you add the new features above, you’ve got some pretty sweet surfing power right in the palm of your claw…err I mean hand. Expect the first public beta version of Opera Mobile within a month.

T-Mobile to begin throttling data usage over 5GB beginning October 16?

5

by Tyler Cunningham on
tagged , , ,

Back in April, T-Mobile was the only wireless provider toying with the idea of throttling data instead of capping it, meaning that instead of cutting customers off at a certain point, speeds would simply be reduced to offset what T-Mobile would call excessive use of data.

It was thought that this was going to happen then, but a new internal document brought to us by TmoNews appears to reveal that the throttling switch is being flipped this Saturday, October 16, once a user hits a threshold of 5GB. In all honesty, this seems like a pretty reasonable alternative to capping data usage, especially at 5 GB. As T-Mobile puts it, 5GB is equivalent to about 125,000 page visits of Yahoo.com, and only 1% of customers will ever experience throttling.

I for one would love to see other carriers go this route, and perhaps if T-Mobile leads by example, they just might follow suit.

T-Mobile myTouch 4G

Rumors are filling blogging sites and water coolers about the possible new name for the T-Mobile myTouch, otherwise also named “myTouchHD”. Sources are confident that the new official name will be the T-Mobile “myTouch4G“.

Until we get an official statement from T-Mobile however, we’ll still call this unofficial.

What do you think of the name “myTouch4G”?

Magical porn button appears on Samsung Galaxy Tab

No Photoshop tricks here, this is a real pic of a Samsung Galaxy Tab over in Romania.  The button itself though, is misleading.  It’s not really a button that will bring glorious porn to your new big screen tablet.  In fact, it’s short for “Pornire” which means “Start” – you know, like the Start button in Windows.  I guess the Romanian devs caught word of this silly translation and have already decided to change it to “Acasa” which means “Home”.  Good move, although I doubt that is going to stop anyone from creating a whole page dedicated to porn URL shortcuts on their new, flash-based, 7-inch tablet.   Oh yea…  DROID DOES (porn).
