Android A to Z: Haptic feedback
Posted: 05 Jun 2012 06:10 PM PDT
We're back with another installment of Android A to Z, and this time we're looking at haptic feedback. It's one of those little things that can make a big difference, and something we never really think about. Simply put, haptic feedback (commonly referred to as haptics) is the use of touch feedback to the end user. You know how your Android phone vibrates a tiny bit when you tap one of the navigation buttons? That's haptics at work.
Since the screen on your Android phone or tablet is pretty much just a smooth sheet of glass of some sort or another, it's difficult to register any sort of tactile feedback to our fingers. When we type on a computer keyboard, we know when our fingers have pressed a key down. Our mouse (and some trackpads) do the same thing with a healthy click when we press the button. On a smartphone, we just have to trust we've done something, and wait for it to happen. Haptics helps here. The short and light vibration when typing out a message with an on-screen keyboard can make a big difference for many of us, and I can see myself being pretty frustrated if an on-screen button didn't let me know I had pressed it.
Haptics go beyond navigation and the keyboard though. They can be a very important part of mobile gaming. Gunning your way through an enemy horde is much more satisfying when you feel every shot from your rifle, and nothing lets you know you've hit the wall in your favorite racing game like a harsh vibration from your phone or tablet.
Probably the best thing about haptic feedback on Android devices is the way it can be customized. The OS itself is open, meaning OEM and developers can adjust things to get them just the way they like, including leaving the settings wide open to the user like we see in CyanogenMod ROMs. More importantly, application developers have access to the hardware controller to customize haptic feedback for their products. It goes one step further with the addition of things like the Immersion haptic SDK to the mix, where developers have an almost unlimited way to make their applications register with your fingers as well as your eyes and ears. Sometimes, the little things mean a lot.

Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 launches in the UK
Posted: 06 Jun 2012 07:44 AM PDT
Samsung sends word that its diminutive entry-level smartphone, the Galaxy Mini 2, has launched in the UK. The phone's 3.27-inch HVGA screen and 800MHz CPU is certainly a far cry from the specs found in the company's latest flagship. But as we discovered during our hands-on time at MWC, it's a well-built and relatively speedy entry-level phone that feels great in the hand. It's definitely a solid improvement over last year's Galaxy Mini.
A cursory glance over a few online retailers reveals SIM-free prices of around £150, which isn't at all bad for this kind of handset. The Galaxy Mini 2 is also due to appear on-contract from T-Mobile and Orange in the UK.

Google Maps for Android getting offline access
Posted: 06 Jun 2012 10:19 AM PDT
Google today at a small event in San Francisco announced that it's taking Google Maps offline. That's right, no more will you be beholden to your data connection. Or if traveling abroad (or on a subway, for instance), you'll be able to kill data altogether and still find your way around. This, ladies and germs, is a big deal. What's more is that it's not just macro-level mapping. You'll be able to zoom all the way down into street view, sans data. You can't have it just yet, but Google says it's coming soon enough.
Google also showed off a backpack-type Street View rig -- powered by Android, if you'll believe it -- that's taken us down to street level in places cars can't go. Pretty slick.
And then there's 3D modeling in Google Earth. Google walked us through how it does things, making them better all the time. Its modeling has taken a big leap forward with the use of airplanes and oblique mapping, with computers doing some serious number crunching to make things impossibly smooth. It'll be coming to both Android and iOS devices in ridiculous resolution.
HP TouchPad originally was to be an Android tablet, ex-webOSer writes
Posted: 06 Jun 2012 11:21 AM PDT
The HP TouchPad originally ran Android. Or at least it was going to. Point is, it was an Android tablet before it was a webOS tablet before it was an Android tablet again.
That revelation (new to some, not so secret or surprising to others) comes from Josh Marinacci, formerly of webOS developer relations, writing in response to the epic recap from The Verge of the rise and fall of former smartphone manufacturer Palm. Chris Ziegler's piece is well worth reading. I cut my teeth on a Palm Treo. Marinacci's post also has some interesting nuggets in it. That the TouchPad was designed by HP with Android in mind isn't that big a surprise. It certainly explains that one FrankenPad that appeared to come from Qualcomm with an actual native build of Android on board. Marinacci puts it thusly:
"The hardware design for the touchpad came from HP. It was designed before the acquisition and originally ran Android. That's why you'll occasionally hear rumors of a touchpad the shipped with Android on it. That's also why the specs were a bit anemic when it shipped over a year later."Another section caught my eye, where Marinacci talks about how the original Motorola Droid didn't necessarily kill off the Palm Pre Plus -- it was Verizon. Or, more specifically, that retail employees never got behind the Pre Plus, instead going for the Droid.
"In the U.S., at least, a phone lives or dies by the retail staff in the carrier stores. Nothing else matters. Not price. Not features. Not apps. If the retail staff doesn't like you ... you die."True enough, even in the Android microcosm. It's something to remember.

Clambook aims to bring laptop capabilities to your Android smartphone
Posted: 06 Jun 2012 01:10 PM PDT
This one is a far cry in appearance from Motorola's efforts with the Lapdock. The newly announced Clamcase Clambook quite simply wants to bring a laptop experience to your Android smartphone. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Macbook Air and containing a 16:9 widescreen display, by connecting to your phone via an MHL adaptor it brings full native keyboard and trackpad capabilities with it. As well as this, it will charge your phone while it is docked.
The Clambook also proudly boasts that it will work with Android 4.0, and the keyboard has dedicated home, app switching and back keys.
Motorola users can use the Clambook to launch the in-built Webtop functionality too. Exact details and device compatibility are still absent at this time, as is any idea on price. But, if you yearn for an Android powered laptop this could be the answer to your prayers.

LG Optimus LTE2 now available in white, still limited to Korean market
Posted: 06 Jun 2012 01:14 PM PDT
LG announced today that its Optimus LTE2, the Korea-only device we first met back in May, is now available in a white variant. In case you’ve forgotten, the LTE2 comes packed with a 4.7-inch True HD IPS display, a 1.5 Ghz dual-coreSnapdragon S4 processor, and 2 whole GBs of RAM. LG says that the LTE2 sold 150,000 units in its first 10 days on the shelves, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at for a phone limited to one market. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for that to change as we wait patiently for U.S. carriers to join in on the fun.

Apple at it again, renews complaint against HTC and adds Galaxy S III to suit against Samsung
|
Posted: 06 Jun 2012 02:20 PM PDT
 The final step in building a successful and desirable Android smartphone seems to be going to court to defend it against Apple. Determined to keep their mind share with the American public (they've lost the market share long ago), Apple has renewed the fight against HTC and is once again asking for for enforcement (read -- let's hold them at the border where they can't be sold) over the "data tapping" hyperlink menu. HTC claims to have worked around the patent, but Apple wants an emergency proceeding to get the following devices banned from import into the US:
But wait, there's more! Apple has also tossed the Samsung Galaxy S III in with their complaint against the Galaxy Nexus, and are trying to have it stopped at the border as well. They claim the phones violate the same "data tap" patent, as well as slide to unlock, word completion, and methods of unified search. To keep things going in a timely fashion, Apple is limiting it's request for injunction to only the data tap patent and unified search patents, which they claim infringes on Siri. Apple realizes it's important to keep the Galaxy S III off the shelves come June 21. It worked once, might as well keep trying until a judge or other official tells them to stop. This has moved beyond old rich guys fighting each other over what's in our wallets. Apple is determined to keep the American public from having what we want, and instead forcing their offerings on us all. Personal opinions aside, these sort of things are apt to be remembered, and Apple is heading down a very slippery slope. The biggest thing to remember is nothing is done until it's done, and any talk of bans and scare tactics from the usual suspects is still just that -- scare tactics. Remember that multi-billion dollar judgment many were sure Oracle was going to get ... More: FOSS Patents (1), (2) |

Posted: 06 Jun 2012 02:27 PM PDT
While we're currently awaiting the Pebble Blue Samsung Galaxy S III here in the UK and across Europe, it seems our Australian friends don't have to wait much longer. Ausdroid is reporting that various stores they spoke to across Canberra had in stock the missing 16GB Pebble Blue version.
Optus, Vodafone and Crazy Johns all had stocks, while Telstra and Virgin Mobile were set to receive theirs soon. In the UK, retailers such as Clove Technology originally said they expected to receive the Blue versions from this week. This can only be good news worldwide for any of us that have been holding out waiting for old Pebble Blue.

Rays-Yankees Preview
The New York Yankees are 5-0 in games started by Ivan Nova against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Nova has benefited from tremendous run support all season long and seeks a third straight win Wednesday night when the Yankees and Rays continue a three-game set in the Bronx.
Nova (6-2, 5.60 ERA) is 3-0 with a 3.26 ERA in five outings against Tampa Bay (31-24), turning in one of his best 2012 efforts May 8 as he yielded two runs over seven innings with eight strikeouts in a 5-3 victory over the Rays.
He has fared well against Matt Joyce (1 for 13), B.J. Upton (2 for 13) and Ben Zobrist (2 for 10).
The right-hander has pitched considerably worse since that outing, going 2-1 with a 6.48 ERA in his next four. The victories have come in the last two, including last Wednesday's 6-5 road win over the Angels in which he allowed five runs over 6 2-3 innings.
Nova is enjoying a run-support average of 6.89 that is tied with teammate CC Sabathia for one of the best marks in the majors.
The Yankees (30-24) provided Andy Pettitte with great support in Tuesday's 7-0 victory. Russell Martin hit a grand slam off James Shields as part of a three-hit night to establish a six-run lead in the fourth inning.
"Anytime you get a shutout you feel like you've done as you're supposed to do as a catcher," Martin said, "and if you can contribute and hit a home run, a grand slam, against a tough pitcher that's even better."
Pettitte didn't need that much help, striking out 10 over 7 1-3 innings in New York's ninth win in 12 games. The Yankees moved a season-high six games over .500.
"Whether it's a streak or it's not a streak, I just like it,'' manager Joe Girardi said.
Tampa Bay has dropped six of nine. The Rays, who entered the contest with a .977 fielding percentage for one of baseball's worst marks, finished with three errors - two by Zobrist and one by Elliot Johnson that led to New York's two unearned runs in the first inning.
"We just didn't have a good night," manager Joe Maddon said. "We didn't play any area of the game well. I'm really looking for the next 24 hours to come around."
Hideki Matsui went 0 for 4 as he returned to the Bronx with his third team since winning the 2009 World Series MVP with the Yankees. Desmond Jennings was 1 for 4 in his return after missing nearly four weeks with a left knee strain.
Alex Cobb (2-1, 3.71), starting in place of the injured Jeff Niemann, will make his fourth 2012 start. He suffered his first loss, 4-3 to the White Sox last Wednesday by giving up four runs over five innings.
The right-hander has never pitched at Yankee Stadium. He did not earn a decision in his lone career outing against New York, a 5-4 defeat July 18 as he yielded two runs over six innings.
Cobb is 3-1 with a 1.78 ERA in five career road starts.

Price Chopper
WARWICK - The Price Chopper on Route 94 has received LEED gold certification for its environmental efficiency.
Almost 25 percent of the building materials used on the supermarket were made from recycled materials.
The store also has a 32 percent energy cost savings because of better hot water efficiency and reduced exterior lighting, according to the company.
These factors led Price Chopper to score gold certification in LEED, a rating system established by the U.S. Green Building Council. The store opened in June 2010, but it takes at least a year of occupancy before the certification can be awarded, said Mona Golub, a spokeswoman for Price Chopper.
LEED-certified buildings are designed to lower operating costs, conserve energy and water and decrease waste that goes to landfills.
