For all those lucky Verizon users who managed to get their hands on an HTC Incredible, there is more good news as the Android 2.2 is about to hit these devices any time soon.

The news was forwarded to us by our sources, who say that the incredible over-the-air update will begin rolling out from August 18. As had been the case with, Unlocked Motorola Droid and its Android 2.2 release, Verizon has this time as well decided to release a small batch of upgrades first, before pushing it fully to the public.

It is expected that the Verizon HTC Incredible will endure great benefit from  the Android 2.2 simply because it manages brings an array of new and awaited improvements for example a much faster browser coupled with an improved performance overall. A simple look at all the features of Andriod 2.2 makes us realise how the OS is apt for the HTC Incredible.

For a long time now the device had taken some sort of a back seat when it came to devices such as the Apple iPhone4 and its latest release and even other Android smartphones such as the Motorola Droid X, the Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S and EVO 4G devices. There is somehow no justification as to why this happened because in all practicality the phone itself is Incredible!

Overall, it is safe to say that Verizon Incredible is indeed one of the better Android phone. Its hardware specs can easily take on all that the market has to offer. Its very light to carry and can handle most tasks such as maps, videos, UI, maps, apps with considerable ease. The design and specs of this device are really enticing and no matter what the drawbacks are, the Incredible scores high marks for sure. To cut the long story tremendously short its “Incredible”!!

When RIM made the announcement about the new operating system at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium earlier in the year, it was tipped as RIM’s answer to the popularity that the iPhone and Android powered devices have been enjoying and as a way to wrestle back its proverbial throne in the smart phone market of United Kingdom with BlackBerry’s first upgrade in its operating system in a very long time. AT&T made its announcement about the new BlackBerry Torch, the new slider phone from the company a few weeks later.

In a lot of ways, the hardware is not as important to the BlackBerry 6 as many of the older and famous devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9650, the BlackBerry Bold 9700, and the BlackBerry Pearl 9100, along with the new offerings from the company the BlackBerry 9670 Clamshell, the BlackBerry Curve 9300 and the latest Unlocked Torch 9800 will all be getting a new and improved facelift. However, RIM wanted to make people aware about the upgrade and for that, they needed a new device that would be able to introduce the new BlackBerry 6 to the public. Keeping in mind the Palm Pre that was launched only some time back, it can be said that a portrait slider is not exactly the most original of plans and critics have been going about how it is just an amalgamation of the Bold keyboard on to the back of the Storm, but the finer details cannot be overlooked. The absence of the SurePress is RIM’s first if the slider is not your thing.

We expect a lot more things from RIM but we have to be content with what we are getting now. The BlackBerry enthusiasts will more or less be satisfied by the Torch but what it will do the minds of the buyers will be a worthwhile watch.

The campaign of Droid 2 from Motorola has begun officially, and we now have got a brand new spot of TV for you. It seems that they are walking the way which Unlocked Motorola Droid ( X ) did, and well, users are being turned into Droids.

The ad being sweet as well as short, mentions a few features only of the recently updated device, the features shown are such as inbox of unified type, and apparently upgraded CPU. But one feature of what we were not at all completely aware is while you begin to type on this Droid 2 at a enough fast speed you will feel like your skin is melting and it is revealing the robotic innards out of you, so it is better that you just keep it in your mind.

We started to wonder whether the push regarding the marketing for the D2 ultimately will become as hard just as it was in case of the original, or whether the campaign for advertising will be just dispersed between Motorola’s both the creation of Android phones which are the DX and the D2. In either of the cases, Two solid handsets are got by Verizon so that it can join the battle with those likes of products which are EVO 4G from HTC and even the soon upcoming Epic 4G from Samsung, even if the standard of price point is missed by Epic 4G. The D2 might not at all look like something very much different from that of its all predecessors, but that what counts on it, well, the bad boy, is the inside, indeed.

While the TV ads of this all new Unlocked Motorola Droid ( 2 ) are just at a start, I only can try to imagine what plans Verizon will have for the device of their R2D2 edition.

In a small bit of a move, intriguing Dell has just opened the wide doors to the first own store of mobile apps and it is going to provide us with programs for BlackBerry, Android, webOS, Windows Mobile and Symbian.

That store offers the support for 11 carriers at least and it boasts too that there have been more than supposedly 50,000 ways to bring improvement to your mobilephone. PocketNow is powering the content and it also is accepting credit card for making both PayPal and payments. It seems to be that you can buy only the apps and after that transfer them via a computer over to your phone, as I cannot see any option of making over-the-air purchases.

While I was playing literally with the store of mobile app from Dell, I just walked into a very wired occurrence: I did type in “AT&T” to be my carrier and I selected the recent release of Dell Streak to check what is so good with that. I have been hit with; Apps are available for your device to download from only the Market   application of Android on the device you use.

That is odd, yes, I thought to myself, but suddenly then I recalled that AT&T has absolutely no allowance for its Android mobilephones for downloading apps outside the Market of Android. So, completely it looks as such flagship mobile phone from Dell currently cannot have an access to the store of mobile app from Dell. It is Lame.

I after that went there to have a look at what was there to be downloaded by me for the Droid X from Motorola on Verizon store and I met with multiple options.

It is utterly an interesting measure by Dell as this company knows somewhere that it had to make adjustment in the industry.

The free famous Enterprise of Blackberry Unlocked Phones software of server Express for medium and small businesses those were at the congress of mobile announced back have been just updated to 5.0.2. You ask, what new features are there?

• Single sign-on (needed no password to have access to the intranet securely, business systems or files “behind the firewall,” Manager of Web Desktop of BlackBerry Enterprise server of Blackberry express Administration Service of  BlackBerry)
• New self-service tools  for all the employee for securing any stolen or lost device
• Added support of web browser for Administration Service of BlackBerry and the Web Desktop Manager of BlackBerry, as it includes Internet Explorer 8, 3.6 versions of Mozilla Firefox, Safari 4 and Google Chrome 4.0.
• Support added for the Server of Window 2008 R2, of Microsoft® 2008 version of Hyper-V™ and Server of SQL of 2008 version.

They introduced BESX as a suitable way of offering most of those full functions of the enterprise to the small groups just for free of cost. Earlier, Professional Software of BlackBerry mobilephones was occupying the niche somehow or the other, along with this may be to a quite lesser extent, BlackBerry Unite too. The all new server software from BlackBerry does offer the number of users who are handheld to a very remote access to the e-mails which actually no more are saving the device under this circumstances. It has also washed their hands off from sync up of flags, address books, as well as the contacts and it denied to provide them with remote access of file. In the meanwhile, features of many powerhouses are being still saved in so that the total version of retail of BES, those all which are listed above were being directly ported just from the certain kind of premium to that free of cost software.

After they had about one day to take a look over patent lawsuits by Oracle against Android from Google regarding Java, the complaint has been called “baseless” by this search giant. This would mean that it is actually gearing up to fight legally.

A spokesperson from Google said:

We are utterly disappointed as Oracle has decided to attack both the community of open-source Java and Google with this kind of baseless lawsuit. The community of open-source Java goes beyond any particular one corporation it works every single day just to make web a much better place. Hence we will defend the open-source standards strongly and will continuously work with this industry for developing the platform for Android.

At its complaint, Oracle stated that the operating system of Android mobilephones from Google infringes upon multiple property patents those are intellectual regarding Java. Android though based on Linux uses Java in much of its layers of application. Oracle is also stating that the Development Kit of Android Software infringes upon few of its patents too.

Once Java was thought to be some language of write-once, but run everywhere type but never it did quite live up to those billing thanks to several forking. It is quite versatile still, though.

Some parts of the Java apps were somehow made pretty available under a license of open source by Oracle and Sun spent about the amount of $5 billion in order to acquire the Sun as well as Java patents which are applicable for this.

Google never even appears like it will very soon back down, which would precisely mean a drawn-out, lengthy, legal battle. In general, this kind of lawsuit takes even years after years just in order to resolve it and end up most with a mere settlement and licensing agreement out-of-court.

Paying for the applications and all other items on the Android phone set could become much easier soon. Pay Pal is being rumoured to have talks with the Google as these two arrange a payments system for the applications. This is a good news for all the developers as it offers them an all new mode of payment, may be Android users will be more inclined for purchasing apps with all the convenience offered by PayPal as there have been more number of PayPal users than customers of Google Checkout (the latter is the present mode of making payment for all applications).

Bloomberg Commented:

Android phones users, such as users of Unlocked Motorola Droid ( X ) from Motorola IXC and Droid Incredible from HTC Corp. are guessed to be able to make payment for apps from PayPal as soon in this year is possible, the people said, who declined earlier to be called just because such discussions are not at all public. Customers presently pay through credit card as well as Checkout service from Google.

Android could be brought closer by this to those likes of what is being seen by apple with purchases of app through the store of iTunes. Many iPad, iPod and iPhone4 touch users have an iTunes account existing which is now used by them to purchase applications as well as music, movies and TV shows. Not many are using the Google Checkout even outside of several retail outlets those are online.

Being a user of Android, I would certainly feel to be more inclined to shop apps from the Market of Android in case of PayPal being an option of payment. If it is made a one-click trait, perhaps I will go even nuts loading EVO 4G of mine with new apps.

So, now do you still feel happy with Google Checkout?

The beginning of this week also marked the release of Apple’s iOS 4.0.2, an eagerly anticipated update that dealt with a security vulnerability in the previous versions that allowed third parties to meddle with the settings on any Apple iPad or iPhone particularly the antics of the infamous JailbreakMe.com. The security update was a major step towards fixing a problem that would have given workers at Apple nightmares however for some strange reason Apple did not even think about including the series of original iPhones or for that matter even the first generation of iPod Touch as a part of this update.

The omission is not as trivial as it may look like for the iOS 4 shortcoming allows an execution of an arbitrary code when user opens any PDF file unsuspectingly or even visits any malicious website. Now that the flaw in the security code has been fully exposed, it may well eventually spread to several malignant entities beyond the severely benign website JailbreakMe.com. Thus users of Apple’s earliest mobile technology, which is presumably still used by fairly large number of people, remain continually vulnerable to any threat and a strongly growing risk of attack.

The good news is that the iPhone4 community has its own development team who have managed to push out a separate patch that deals with this problem. The PDF Patch fixes this security loophole in all the iPod and iPhone models. The added adavantage to this patch is that it will work with all the current iPods and iPhones. If you own a current generation device from Apple and haven’t applied for the newly released update, you may ignore it and simply apply the ingenious patch instead. In the end Apple’s refusal to including the older generation devices in this update has been a blessing in disguise for those who did not wish to update their OS to deal with the security hole.

With all the hype and headlines created by Steve Jobs and his creation, the Apple’s Unlocked  iPhone4  over the past few months, as a sleek and smooth white phone, it looks like it finally has met its match in the ‘smart phone’ department, with the imminent arrival of Samsung’s Galaxy S. Although HTC’s Evo 4G is also a cool, white gadget of technological brilliance, it has failed to generate the same as interest as Samsung has been able to do in promoting the Galaxy S, with brilliant marketing and management strategies.

Although, in Europe, the marketing has been much hush-hush, the only available image of the phone throughout the internet is the one in the catalog of a Spanish electronics store. However, in Asia, the strategies adopted by the company have already made it a huge sensation throughout the market, even before its official launch.

As a result, the question arises on the availability of the phone in other parts of the world, if and when it will arrive. It will hardly be a surprise if almost all the major carriers in the United States introduce this new offering from Samsung. And considering the fact that quite a lot of people like to have a white phone in the palm of their hands, and what would make it even better is a smart phone. This will be one temptation that no major carrier will want to resist. So, people of America, don’t be surprised if it comes knocking at your door in a few months time, better start saving from now on.

Samsung’s Unlocked Galaxy S is available with a CPU of GHz, an upgradable Android 2.1, a 5.0 megapixel camera to capture your special moments, Bluetooth connectivity and so many other features that makes it a must buy for anyone and everyone.

Jerry Shen, CEO Asustek Computers recently said that the company intends to release a high end tablet which will run on the Android platform. The tentative release date is around March 2011. The tablet, will be the latest addition to Asustek’s Eee Pad range of devices, and is expected to cost less than $400.

A dedicated team of 800 engineers have been assigned to work on Android compatibility by Asus. However before the imminent release of the Android tablet we may well end up seeing Asus release what is believed to be a tablet powered by Windows 7, costing around $1000. To what extent will powering the tablet on Windows 7 be a good idea is open to debate and most opinions call it a disaster waiting to happen, still you can never really know!

The buzz in the market is that the Asus tablets may well be the much awaited products that can battle the growing dominance of Apple’s iPad in the market. However that is a long way away to say the least. Yet the delay may actually be a good thing if Asus is indeed trying to make the tablet more user friendly during this time as the CEO claims. Mr. Shen believes that if the iPad has to be tackled in the present market situation then a lesser price alone will take them nowhere, the need will be to offer more features at their intended price. If Mr. Shen is to be believed then the 800 engineers involved are looking to do just that with the tablet from Asus.

Beating Apple at its own game in its own playground will be no mean feat, yet there is much hope that Asus will take Apple iPhone4 on with their feature laden project. If all goes well then the release for Asus’s tablet and the Android Gingerbread will coincide. If that happens, Apple may be in for a very busy summer indeed!
