Internal Storage, Battery Life, Application Sales: 3 Crucial Ingredients Android Lacks

January 12th, 2010

Like a coach for a football team, these key components need rallying and coordination for Android to grow and flourish…

Internal Storage on Android has Alzheimer’s

Bottom-line, handset makers need to really consider including a significant amount of internal storage. 256 megabytes just ain’t cutting it. SD Card storage is nice to have but Android phones should have a decent internal storage capacity as the first option then SD Card second Sony VGP-BPS8. This would boost Android Gaming development if consumers could easily fit a 100MB game on the phone smoothly without clearing more than three quarters of their apps.

Battery Life is an Ankle-bitter

Partly faulted to Android’s OS and developers… background processing is a strength and fatality of the platform. Sure we love the multi-tasking capabilities but hate the strain run-away processes do to performance and VGP-BPS9 VGP-BPS9/B battery life. The Android OS by default should come with a power manager as do laptops offering; power saver, balanced and high performance battery profiles to choose from.

App Sales are Absent

Partly to blame are reasons above prohibiting superb app development and “Open Source”, which always has a confusing connotation with “free”. Even larger game development companies such as Dell WW116  Gameloft has jumped ship on Android due to lagging sales. Android app developers are squeezed to make apps at extremely low costs plus they’re selling to a smaller customer based in comparison to Apple. Another key component is until recent, there’s no way to take advantage of impulse buying such as carrier billing or “in-app” purchases.

Improving these core aspects of the platform would attract iPhone developers whom given up on Android due to key points in this article Dell XPS M1730 Battery. Overall strengthen smartphones powered by Android.

iPhone 3G second impressions – Freezing, battery life and awesome apps

November 24th, 2009

3g

I have had the iPhone 3G for 6 days now and we have developed an intense love/hate relationship. It is exactly what I want in a phone when it comes to multimedia browsing but there have been some serious drawbacks for my Apple A1079 Apple A1175.

When I first got the phone and setup iTunes, I went absolutely crazy with the free apps. This was probably a bad idea because the phone has been crashing quite a bit. I have about 175 applications on the phone and because I’m constantly opening and closing applications, I think the phone shuts off like someone who got too drunk too early with my Apple iBook G4 Battery.

The lesson: Try only a few applications at a time and be strict about what applications you keep on your device and which ones you leave on your computer such as Apple PowerBook G4 Battery.

Now if you are going to download a free app for your iPhone, I seriously recommend downloading iPint by Carling. It lets you drink a virtual beer! No calories, no mess but no drunk. Everything is a compromise except Presario R3000 Battery.

The battery life on the iPhone 3G is a tough call. It totally depends on how much you use the battery intensive programs like the GPS of  Dell Inspiron E1705 Battery. Personally, I use absolutely everything on the phone with a total disregard for what will drain my battery. This means that I get about 18 hours of total time before the phone shuts off. That isn’t so bad considering I charge my phone daily. In fact, I kind of like the fact that the phone has enough features to drain the battery that quickly.

Although waiting in line was a really grueling experience, I’m still very happy with my iPhone purchase and will continue to trick Sony VGP-BPS3 out.

To get an idea of just how grueling the experience was, the guys over at EETimes brought a video camera to the scene and you can check out the video in which they interviewed me after being awake for 26 hours than my Sony VGP-BPS4. Make sure to watch until the end of the video where they absolutely FREAK out with their new iPhone 3G and make a dash back to their HQ.
