are you brain dead?
developers showing off the apps thats possible in the android mobile platform……. was that a real question or are u not impressed?
and dats from last year when android was just or about to be launched…
wtf is point of this video???
I have the HTC Hero from sprint. It’s overclocked which makes it almost as fast as an IPOD touch. But the phone in the video is incredibly fast.
I wish mine was too….i mean i am happy with mine and love it….but the HTC hero is abit slow….what phone do you use?
What is the name of the last app shown?
I want my android to be fast like that…
Thanks for the civilized replies – a rare thing on youtube. Most of the people here would assume i’m an apple troll, which i am not.
But still, closing the Market is like Ubuntu letting everybody download their OS but just Dell use Synaptic. You still get a good OS with a pretty user interface, but to install anything you need to dig hours on the net. It’s just stupid.
And if it’s the people in marketing to blame, that’s not an excuse. If you leave them in charge of an OS, you just get Vista.
I agree with you that integrating Market into AOSP (or at least making it a free .apk download from Google if they don’t want to opensource it) would be a great move. However since at this time it’s not, presuming that Market is always present on the phone is bad programming by the developer.
That would be like if I wrote a program on Windows that calls in winword.exe for some task and then crashes if it’s not present. “Well most Windows computers have Word.” Probably, but not all of them.
And second (separated because char count): Most developers already threat Market as part of the OS. I have some apps installed from (legaly downloaded) .apk’s or from AndAppStore that try to load Market to update or check for updates, and crash.
I know about alternatives to Android Market, i have 3 installed on my phone. But there are two reasons i’m upset about Market not beeing installable on any phone:
- I simply can not understand why Google won’t any user have access to something they already give away for free. I understand they don’t want to let any manufacturers stick a “Google” logo on any headset, but why not make it downloadable for the user?
I understand where you’re coming from — however, Android is a bit more complex than that. “Android Market” is not part of Android, but rather it is Google’s market for its licensed Android devices.
There are some alternate markets available. Apparently SlideME is pretty popular in the Android homebrew community.
Regardless, however, Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices. All the extra perks on the Google licensed devices are extra bits licensed to us.
you people (Europeans and Americans) are living in such an over priced world…
In PK we can have an unlimited internet option for just 400 PKR and thats $4.78698 or u can round it to $5 a month….wow this is sooo cheap…!!!
Great stuff. Too bad they are not talking about Android, but about the Android phones that Google likes. If you have any other Android phone – too bad. You can’t use any google apps, and the worst thing is, you can’t even access Android Market. Google made Android “open” and then closed the market. Way to go.
i have the hero. it’s awesome but someone should make the “i am tpain” app for android!

Thank you for explaining!! I appreciate it very much.
Android is an Operating System, it’s preinstalled on the phone, you just have to buy a phone with Android OS.
The different applications might not work everywhere and you need internet on your cell phone to use them.
The barcode application I believe will also work in Europe. It recognized the UPC (American Barcode Standard) as a UPC, so I guess it can distinguish different barcodes, including the European EAN which would be relevant to you
Dose that Android thing works only in the US and Canada?
how come the contact’s pictures are’nt clear when we resive calls?
I’m right there with you. I wan’t one so bad.
what app was he using for the pictures? I cant figure out what app it was.
a standard Japanese phone has a bar code reader…we’re so behind….. like 5+ years…….
Crazy how cell phones are getting better,one day we won’t need laptop or desktop computers ha ha
… i so want a droid !
Symbian is pretty cool but android runs so much better and is much more customizable.
