[New App] Apex Launcher Pro Brings New Features To An Already Great Home Screen Replacement

unnamedThe launcher on Android 4.0 is quite nice when compared to what Google was shipping before. If there is one complaint, it's that the stock launcher is a little light on features. But that's what custom home screen replacements are for, right? We took a look at Apex Launcher when it first came out and were impressed with the initial release. Now Apex Launcher Pro has appeared, bringing with it even more customization.

unnamed unnamed unnamed

Apex Launcher Pro comes with all the goodies from the free version, like a customizable grid, scrollable dock, transition effects, and locking the desktop. The Pro app fills in some of the gaps with features including:

  • Multiple configurable drawer tabs
  • Unread count notifications
  • Dock swipe gestures
  • Two finger gestures
  • More transition effects
  • Batch add option for folders
  • Option to merge folder contents
  • Widgets in dock (1x1 only)
  • Overlapping widgets

The Best Smartphone Cameras

Sony’s Xperia S is likely to win the hearts of many users simply down to its camera. At 12 megapixels it is one of the top specs on the market. So that gives an opportunity to review the best smartphones cameras on the market, and how the Sony Xperia S measures up.

The improvement on camera phones has largely been blamed for a decline in the digital camera market. As camera’s have come with a higher specification, better features and the easy ability to upload to social networking sites directly from the smartphone, many have felt they don’t want to carry a camera in their pocket. As many Android phone contracts are cheaper than a digital camera and allow you to do so much more it is no wonder that digital cameras are joining devices like mp3 players, portable radios and handheld games consoles in the realm of obsolete gadgets.

Sony, unsurprisingly, has been keen to show of the HD features of the Xperia S. The pixel resolution on its 4.3 inch Sony BRAVIA screen is 720 x 1280 pixels. It has a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for video calling as well as a 12 megapixel offer on the back. It comes with an Exmor R sensor, featured on previous Xperia smartphones, which improves imaging characteristics. It allows users to take high quality pictures with a bright colour contrast, even when the light quality might be poor. There is a 3D panorama sweep feature, which appeared as an update on other Xperia devices in late 2011. The device is capable of recording 720p video recording.

For those wanting to pick a device based just on the camera there are others to choose from. The Apple iPhone 4S showed a marked improvement in terms of the camera from its earlier incarnation. The 8 megapixel camera was a big upgrade from the iPhone 4’s 5 megapixel camera. It also boasted improved optics along with built in editing. The camera has 3264 x 2448 pixels, comes with an LED flash, autofocus, touch focus, face detection and geo-tagging. There is also video recording at 1080p HD with image stabilisation. The iPhone 4S has such a good camera on board that it was in fact blamed by camera makers for damaging the digital camera industry. Being such a high profile device, mobile phone deals for the iPhone 4S will set you back a lot more than they will for the Xperia S – even though it is a newer phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 has also been famed for its camera. The resolution was boosted from 5 megapixels (from the original Galaxy S) to 8 megapixels also. There are several manual settings to increase or decrease the aperture and shutter speed, as well as changing the White Balance. Auto-focus and face detection make it easier to take pictures on the move. For those looking for a more automated offer there are settings including Smile Shot, Action and Cartoon for those who want to point and snap. HD video comes in at 720p and 1080p at 30fps which is smooth and also offers good colourisation.

The only device really challenging the Xperia S in terms of camera specifications is the Nokia N8, which remains a popular device. Although now fairly run of the mill its camera did make it stand out with 12 megapixels and Carl Zeiss optics. It comes with Xenon flash and face recognition software along with auto-focus. There is geo-tagging, a pinch zoom feature as well as an on-board photo editor. The video shoots in 720p and 25 fps.

The Sony Xperia S is one of the first major smartphone announcements for 2012. Launching with an impressive camera will undoubtedly win it fans as a disappointing camera, as Samsung found with the launch of the Galaxy Nexus, can switch more people off than manufacturers might expect. Although there are higher resolution video cameras available on smartphones 720p still offers a decent enough quality – and the Xperia S more than makes up for this in other areas. As a long-time producer of digital cameras – this is one area of the modern smartphone where Sony is miles ahead of its competition.

The Galaxy S2: an iPhone-4S-killer?

The received wisdom is that Apple fans will just keep buying iPhones – or indeed iAnything – even if another product is technically better, just because Apple has that reputation and credibility. The reputation that it'll work right out of the box, do exactly what you want it to do, even if you're not especially technically capable.

And the credibility that says, well, just that you're stylish, more stylish than anyone who doesn't own an iPhone. These things are both underpinned by superb design that ensures Apple phones are both user-friendly and easy on the eye.

Has the Samsung Galaxy S2 already beaten Apple at their own game, even though it's significantly older than the iPhone 4S? Samsung has sold over 10 million Galaxy S2 deals already, making it the most popular Android phone of all time. Yet even though this latest Apple phone launch has met with more disappointment than any before, iPhone 4S deals will still outperform the S2 with ease, guaranteed (1 million pre-orders were placed on the first day they became available, before it was even released).

Let's take a look at whether those sales figures will be justified.

Look and Feel

First impressions are something of a tie. The Galaxy S2 is slimmer and smaller than the iPhone 4S, and looks just as cool, but feels distinctly less robust, largely because it eschews the current high-end smartphone trend for one-piece, machined-aluminium casings in favour of a lighter but probably weaker construction.

Still, at a mere 116g in weight and a shade under 8.5mm thick, it just feels a lot niftier than the iPhone's 140g and 9.3mm. If you live the kind of active life most of us do, though, you'll probably prefer the tougher-seeming iPhone, just to avoid the risk of that sickening feeling when you drop your £400 Galaxy on the floor and bits fly off with a loud cracking noise...

One thing that will be off-putting for some iPhone fans is that the 4S looks exactly like the iPhone 4. While Android fans may drool over processor speeds and storage space, many iPhone owners love being in a position to gloat over owning the latest Apple phone. The 4S lacks this gloating power.

Apple's big boast is still ease of use, but again the Galaxy easily lives up to this standard, with the Social Hub feature allowing you to seamlessly integrate several different email accounts, social networks or other communications platforms, finally bringing a bit of order to our 21st century, over-connected, over-informed chaos.

Siri

Still, the iPhone 4S potentially scores more highly here, overall, thanks to Siri, the virtual personal assistant whose services come built in to the phone. The Galaxy may be convenient, but it's still just a phone; Siri should take convenience to a whole new level, and is the next best thing to a personal social secretary most of us will ever have.

Again, "she" will offer that classic Apple convenience, that better-than-life quality that has sold so many phones. Siri makes using your phone seem like you're not using your phone, in that you just talk to her rather than tapping the screen – and she responds by booking you a restaurant table, or telling you whether it's cold enough outside that you'll need a coat.

…or so Apple Claim

This is provided that Siri actually works like Apple claims in its marketing of course. Siri is still in beta, meaning there are probably some issues with it. Voice controls exist on the Galaxy S2, although they are not quite as well integrated or far reaching. Unless you are partially sighted or have difficulty using your fingers though, Siri (and voice control in general) could prove to be another much lauded feature that rarely gets used.

On the other hand it could prove to be as big of a technological revolution as touchscreens were a few years back. Touchscreen phones had been around for many years before the original iPhone of course, but it was the Apple device that made them the market norm. Likewise, we have already seen voice controls on phones but so far they have yet to meet with any real appreciation.

Personally I am still not convinced by it. The technology behind Siri may have evolved quite a bit the last few years, and it may even be as slick and understanding as Apple claim. Yet Siri's voice still sounds like a Texas Instruments toy from the 1980s. Voice synthesis, it seems, has not made much progress at all – even if voice recognition has. If I were to ever truly consider using voice controls on a phone, I would want something more pleasant and life-like to listen to than a female professor Hawking.

So while Siri could potentially make the iPhone 4S so much more convenient for some phone users to use, it is likely to end up like FaceTime as an overhyped feature that very few people really have any need for or desire to use.

Processing Speed

The processors on the two phones share a similar spec, both being dual-core. The Galaxy S2's is nominally a little faster, at 1.2GHz compared to the iPhone's 1GHz, but the iPhone 4S chip is the Apple A5, the same one as that found in the iPad 2, and so is tried-and-tested on a high-end multitasking multimedia device. It should be more than capable of running the iPhone.

Being released several months after the S2, the iPhone 4S could have really wowed with a 1.5GHz dual core chip or something. Yet it was unveiled to the world with a processor that doesn't even match the Galaxy in terms of speed. The point here is that most iPhone owners don't really care about processor speeds, and the iPhone 4S was merely bringing itself more into line with current technological trends.

But with the Galaxy S3 being up for release in just a few months, and some rumours suggesting a staggering quad core 1.8GHz chip in use, the iPhone 4S will most likely not have the staying power to remain up-to-date by the time the iPhone 5 / Galaxy S4 make their way to the stores this time next year.

Cameras

The two cameras, likewise, are closely comparable. Both are around the 8 Megapixel mark, though initial reports put the iPhone camera as more capable and versatile in a variety of different circumstances. On the upside, the Galaxy S2 can take USB pen drives, plugged directly into it with no need for an adaptor, for taking more snaps or holding more music than you fit on its 16GB memory.

The most expensive iPhone 4S has up to 64GB memory, so though it doesn't take a USB stick without an adaptor, you won't need on quite so soon. But with that model costing well over £1000 it is unlikely to be the most popular option, with most prospective 4S owners choosing the 16GB-with-no-option-to-upgrade model.

So, on balance, which should you go for? As a lot of people had noted on October 4th at the Apple keynote, the iPhone 4S is not drastically different to the iPhone 4 – and the Galaxy S2 was already more impressive than that a few months ago. The big difference is with Siri voice controls, a feature that the majority of people will probably not use for more than 5 minutes to see what it is about.

The iPhone range is now comparable to the Galaxy S2 in terms of processing and camera, but with the Galaxy 2S being around £100 cheaper, these days, that might make all the difference.

Android On Your PC: Qualcomm Invests In BlueStacks After Beta Sees 1M Downloads In 10 Days

New BlueStacks LogoIf you're an Android and a PC, you should check out BlueStacks --- before hackers catch on or Chrome sneaks in this functionality, take advantage. The startup's software has been going like hotcakes over the last few months, as it's offering a much-needed service for Android and PC users, having developed software that allows Android users to run their apps on all Windows PCs, tablets, and laptops — without any modifications. Thanks to this appealing concept, BlueStacks lured $7.6 million in venture funding pre-launch, $6.4 million more a few months later, and now it seems the yet another investor is on board. The startup finally released its public beta on March 27th, and so far users have been eating it up. In the first 10 days after its release, BlueStacks' App Player racked up more than 1 million downloads, with over 12 million apps collectively being run by its users. It's on the heels of this early traction that the company is today announcing that global telecom giant Qualcomm has joined as an investor.

They've done what many phone companies have thus far failed to do. They've changed swiftly with the times and, more important, they've done it in quite admirable way. If you'll recall, the first real Android phone was HTC's G1. Considered a clunker by all but the most die-hard of users, the device sold fairly well, topping out at 1 million units in 2008. But the G1 did something more important than make T-Mobile the first Android carrier - it grabbed a certain user contingent who understood Android, understood the framework, and would follow the platform to the grave. The popularity of the G1 was a direct reaction to the burgeoning iOS platform. The same thing happened in the WebOS space, but WebOS was exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time and is a disaster distinct from the Android launch.

    Latest Android Handset News

    HTC is continuing to expand its affordable range of Android powered smartphones with the latest rumours suggesting that a handset called the Golf is soon to join its catalogue of products.

    The HTC Golf will be an entry level smartphone which is pitched to replace the HTC Explorer, which has been on the market for just a few months now.

    Information leaked about the HTC Golf suggests that it will sport a 3.5 inch touchscreen display, which is a little larger than the 3.2 inch panel found on the Explorer.

    It will also feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which is the latest iteration of Google`s mobile operating system. Powering this will be a single core processor clocked below the 1GHz mark, although you will get a 512MB allocation of RAM to help Android run smoothly.

    HTC has been attempting to present a more united front in 2012 after it saw profits slip in 2011 due to its oversaturation of the market with smartphone after smartphone. The HTC Golf looks like it could be a worthy addition to the lower price bracket and could be one of the most affordable ways to experience Android 4.0.

    Of course if you are already in possession of the Samsung Galaxy S2, last year`s most critically acclaimed Android smartphone, then you may be wondering when an update which brings Android 4.0 to the table will arrive.

    Samsung recently confirmed that the rumours of an imminent update were true, before eventually dismissing them as incorrect. This may seem like it is toying with its fans, but closer inspection reveals that there was simply a bit of confusion within the firm itself.

    The dual core power of the Samsung Galaxy S2 will be a perfect fit for the advanced capabilities of Android 4.0, so fans will be anxious to see an update arrive, particularly if they are tied into a 2 year contract.

    However, the approach of the Samsung Galaxy S3, which should be launched and in stores by the middle of the year, could easily overshadow Android 4.0`s arrival on the Galaxy S2.

    The Galaxy S3 has been kept under wraps by Samsung so far, although it was originally going to make its debut at the Mobile World Congress 2012 back in February.

    While not much is known about the technical aspects of this handset, it is assumed that it will pack a quad core processor, a high definition display and Android 4.0 as standard.

    People who have invested in the Galaxy S2 will not be too disappointed to see the Galaxy S3 arrive and trump their handset as long as Android 4.0 is available via an update. Of course those with a smaller budget to spend on Android mobile phones may be more interested in the arrival of the HTC Golf, because it is always good to see a value-oriented handset getting some high end features.

    Nokia May Be Down, But They’re Not Out

    super_macho_man_2As bad as Nokia's financials look right now - a $4 billion drop in sales won't make anyone's day - don't consider the Windows Phone move a failure just yet. They've done what many phone companies have thus far failed to do. They've changed swiftly with the times and, more important, they've done it in quite admirable way. If you'll recall, the first real Android phone was HTC's G1. Considered a clunker by all but the most die-hard of users, the device sold fairly well, topping out at 1 million units in 2008. But the G1 did something more important than make T-Mobile the first Android carrier - it grabbed a certain user contingent who understood Android, understood the framework, and would follow the platform to the grave.
