Sony vs. Android
By making the PlayStation "Suite" in "Mobile" are enabled collaborations between manufacturers, and the first that has seen the light has been resolved that Sony and HTC. The Taiwanese company has received certification for the implementation and adaptation of products developed under the PlayStation stamp on their products (in most cases will require new programming and marking of hardware and software).

Instapaper app for Android

Instanpaper finally has an official application for Google's mobile operating system, after the overwhelming success it has achieved in IOS.

This is a very novel and original, saved and stored items that may interest you, for you to read when you have time, creating a sort of list of outstanding items that will be useful to snap up any text that might be interested in not have time to read at that time.

Instapaper takes some time to be a successful application for IOS, thanks to its original proposal and its usefulness. This is an application that can store the items we want to read, but then we do not have time to do it.

Therefore, we keep in Instanpaper, and we will then store in a list of outstanding items until we have time to read it. A good idea that has been done with a large segment of users, being an application that has almost no competition.

While users of IOS enjoyed this wonderful application, the Android people wondered when they would have their own version of Instapaper.

Well, the news has been expected, but we can finally confirm that Instapaper comes to Android with its own official application, but the first who have tried it says it is below the application for IOS. At least we have Instapaper on Android, which is saying something.

Given the lateness of Instapaper to get to Android, other applications attempted to gain public sector itself, some very good features and also free.

However, the competition not to worry too Instapaper developers that Google will place your application on Play at a price of $ 2.99.

The main difference between the above applications and official Instapaper is its design, very attractive and appealing, which has dazzled thousands of users in IOS, and represents one of the greatest assets for successful implementation.

Android users, so if you can choose between several applications that perform more or less the same job, and decide which are more convincing.

If you already have Instapaper in IOS and have fallen in love with your design, you know they will have to contribute a small amount to use. If not, you can always download the free alternatives. The fact is that to have an application that allows you to "read later" items that interest you should not miss in your smartphone.

It has details such as reading in night mode, which invests the text and background colors to read comfortably at night, something that automatically to detect the arrival of dusk. Includes search and organization of folders for texts stored and, last but not least, can store 500 items on the mobile device and an unlimited number in the web version, with which it is synchronized.

You can download Instapaper "Google Play"

Panasonic A-W700: media player based Android

There are gadgets that seem one thing, but are different. This applies to this device that I present below looks like a tablet but it is not. Is that the Panasonic A-W700 is a gadget that deceives by its appearance similar to that of a tablet, although it is rather a multimedia entertainment-oriented device. Then I tell you what things can be done with this unique gadget.

Halfway between the appearance of a tablet and a digital picture frame is the Panasonic A-W700, a rather curious device of the Japanese firm made thinking on digital entertainment.

It has a 7 inch screen with resolution of 800 x 480 and is capable of playing multimedia content that is stored on SDXC cards or via DLNA. Works with Android Gingerbread (2.3) operating system and applications is Skype (has a webcam for video calls) and Google Play.

The strange thing is that its price is hard to think what the market place to fill this device. It is estimated that will cost $ 446, which puts it halfway between a conventional tablet and a low cost tablet. Let's wait to see how the market at the time of its release which will occur on 25 July in Japanese territory.

Android Jelly Bean, these benefits that we would like to have

Although not much data about the new features and benefits of the next version of Android (4.1) is known as the Jelly Bean, the fact is that more and more rumors are that Google will show some details later this month June (from 27 to 29), the meeting Google I / O to be held in San Francisco.

No one is sure what the exact changes of the next version of Android compared to its predecessors, but after two days filtered code benchmark-through-Police Android, it looks like Jelly Bean shot first on a Google tablet (manufactured by Asus).

To record the code mentioned above are kept awake some interesting facts about the team: a 7-inch screen with 1,280 by 768 pixel resolution and an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core 1.3 GHz addition, the name also appeared in key "Grouper" which means simply translated into Spanish, and though it may seem silly, Google tends to name their devices fish Nexus. Also in this code are interesting facts about the operating system: JRN51B, the build number where the J is for Jelly Bean, and 4.1, the version of the system.

Once these data, it is increasingly clear that Jelly Bean is Android 5.0 Android 4.1 and not as was thought at first. This may mean that the news about Ice Cream Sandwich will not be as many as we could expect. That said, the page Into Mobile has decided to ask, via Twitter, your readers what features we would like Jelly Bean.

The answers
of them can be summarized that users actually have no great desire in relation to the next version of Android, but rather are anxious about the possibility to get the most out of Ice Cream Sandwich at its terminals. At this point we should mention that ICS is not yet implemented, even remotely, on all computers that can handle it. So our view is that Android should proceed step by step.

Those who already enjoy ICS saying that goes far beyond what people expect and although it could be better, overall satisfaction is very high. What could make Jelly Bean? Probably because simple adjustments to the operating system for it to be more consistent (performance of Google as a whole), or perhaps features that are not waiting at all. The first answers will come probably in the Google I / O.

Dual-boot Android Windows 8 ASUS set to debut

On the eve of Computex 2012, to be held in Taipei Taiwan on June 4, it seems that ASUS is preparing a surprise that could involve Windows 8 and Android.

So, by the pair of videos that are included below, we see that the Taiwanese company may have plans to launch a hybrid device with operating systems and / or two screens or possibly even a new concept gadget; similar what is the ASUS Padfone with some variations, to mention something.

We can certainly take it as a brand strategy to create mystery and anticipation over the previous week, there will surely want to be the point of care, more so for being in their country.

I do not know I can finish all this, if in the launch of the device (or even more than one) or just a sample of their upcoming releases Windows 8 (tablets and / or smartphone) and Android (including tablets and smartphone) but each on their own.
Surely we can start on Monday to know some answers.
