Finally, Sprint has a commercial with the Hero!

It only took a few months but Sprint dropped a commercial with what they coined, "The most impressive lineup of phones". Along with the Palm Pre, and Blackberry Tour they finally show us their version of the HTC Hero. There is no love with any carrier for "with Android" but they do let the watcher know that the Hero is "with Google", and has thousands of apps. I think if you watch the commercial below you wont really care too much until the end where they show the CG Android "break dancing" in the "Sprint Shelves". That in my opinion is what makes it news to blog about.

Like the commercial from Sprint? Want to be a critic and tell us what you would have done better? Let me know in the comments below!

Google wants your smartphone to be smarter.

Imagine your Android device noticing when you go for a jog every morning and automaticaly launching your music. Google is looking to use the accelerometer in the phone along with other sensors to figue out your daily routeen and conform to your ways. This kind of smarts would come with a training period, most likely 2-3 weeks, but it would get smarter and smarter to your needs and wants the more and more it is used... it's making a personal device, even more personal. The only drag you could see in this is when the next best handset comes out you would have to train it all over again. So, all in all sounds like a great idea, but this might take alittle time to make this happen. . . but hey, it is Google and we are talking about Android here.

Could this be the future of Android?

Thanks to Haykuro from XDA, again we have these images of what could be in store for the future of Android. You can see in the video that the UI is completely re-done, widgets and even helping the user with spacing on the home screen. Speaking of the home screen it looks to have more then the standard three, we counted at least 6 or 7 which is capable now but only after hacking.

What we can say now is things are looking up for Android, the future looks bright from here.

HTC Hero's build ported to a G1. . . NICE!!!

We know that Cupcake still isn't officially here yet but we have another update of Android to wet your appetite. Haykuro from xdadevelopers managed to get a build of Android from the HTC Hero (a future Android device) and ported it over to the G1 to show off in a quick video tour. The UI is sexy the browser is HOT! I can't wait to see if this is the recently rumored Donut (Android 2.0).

Also, from Haykuro a screen shot has made it's way to the surface. . . showing, we you decide.

You see the icon that reads flashplugin.so? Yeah, thats what we're saying, could this be the first device with a flash plugin? Wouldn't that be nice, be we can only wait and see at this point.

PC Worlds 11 cool Android prototypes we'd like to see

PC World has posted a very good read for all of you Droid Heads out there. They have put together the 11 coolest Android prototypes they could find. Whether it is a netbook, tablet, or rumored handset they put it all up there.

Please feel free to read the article here.

Now, we would like to go over what we believe to be the top five.

1. The Huawei Google Android "G3"- This is one of the sexiest looking Android devices out there. Take away the fact it looks almost exactly like the iPhone, this handset is sporting a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm headphone jack,something we have not seen OUT yet for the Android OS. Plus, lets be 100% honest, the iPhone with the AndroidOS is Gods phone.
2. The Archos Internet Media Tablet - This is just the beginning for the tablet. The Archos is a 5 inch full touchscreen that all of us would love to have stuffed. . . well, ANYWHERE on our person. It is sleek in style and well, the software is to die for.
3. The Lenovo OPhone - The OPhone is up there with the Huawei G3, but one minor thing, it will only be able to used in China's 3G market. We would love to see a fully functional OPhone here in the US.
4. The Alpha 680 - The 680 is a pretty cool netbook, it has the ability to swivel the screen to become more like a tablet. Plus, with all of the Android netbook talk we would just love to see any netbook, out with Android.
5. The QiGi i6 - This device is not cool because of it's design, nor is it cool because it has Android. . . as well. It is a cool device because it is able to dual boot both Windows Mobile 6.1 and Android and is powered by a 624MHz processor.

I would love to see any of these devices out here in the US, preferably as soon as possible.

Google looking for netbook users to test Android.

Netbook manufactures are looking in to Android to power their netbooks. Well here is the first definate that Google is looking for users of netbooks to help them test usability. Google has placed an ad on Craigslist just for that. . . I think as much as the mobile OS has taken off, this would be a wonderful thing for the on the go netbook user. If you do decide you will do the test for Google they will hook you up with a $75 gift card and most likely something to tell you to hush. Either way let us know if you decide to take this test.
