Android 2.3.4 OTA rolling out over the next few weeks! Has bug fixes for Nexus One, video chat for Nexus S. But a surprise is still to come!

Video Chat on Your Android Phone

Sometimes, the expressions on a person's face can mean much more than what they say. To help you stay in touch with your friends and family, we’re launching Google Talk with video and voice chat for Android phones.

You can now video or voice chat with your friends, family and colleagues right from your Android phone, whether they’re on their compatible Android tablet or phone, or using Gmail with Google Talk on their computer. You can make calls over a 3G or 4G data network (if your carrier supports it) or over Wi-Fi.



In your Google Talk friends list, a video or voice chat button will appear next to your contacts and you can simply touch the button to connect with them. Any text chats from the person you’re talking with will be overlaid on your phone’s screen so you can read them without having to leave the video. And, if you need to check something else, the video pauses automatically so you can go back to your phone’s home screen or another app. The audio will keep going even though the video has paused. Check out how this works:



Google Talk with video and voice chat will gradually roll out to Nexus S devices in the next few weeks as part of the Android 2.3.4 over-the-air update and will launch on other Android 2.3+ devices in the future. To learn more about using video and voice chat, check out our Help Center.

Google talk, sigh

Guys I set up a family member's Ipad for them and and have been switching between using Windows XP/Windows 7/Mac OSX/Iphone 4 and now the Ipad. Coming mostly from a PC world, then used Symbia Nokia for quite some time I will say that Apple is totally ahead of the rest. No sheit. I never used Android but I have to say that the simplicity of Apple products is disgusting. Using Itunes to share everything from an Apple Tv to videos or whatever is so easy compared to what I was accustomed to. Damn, no wonder Apple people are so relaxed.

Quick question, anyone know if the Galaxy S (i9000T) could be upgraded from 2.1, preferably to 2.3 & if so how?

[2NR Smurf]

^that i9000T is the version of the Galaxy S that bmobile is selling. It seems specific to latin america.
You can upgrade to 2.2 officially via the Samsung Kies software, no problems. Thats what i currently running.
As for 2.3, it started rolling out across europe and was then stopped. Don't know whats the latest with that, but there are a couple 'leaked official' roms out there that you could use.

Comscore report finds widening Android lead in US smartphone market, largely at RIM's expense



The percentage shift in the chart above tells most of the story here. According to Comscore's latest report, Android's share of the US smartphone market grew an impressive six percent in the three-month period ending in March to land at 34.7 percent, and RIM took the biggest hit as a result, slipping 4.5 points to a share of 27.1 percent. That's still enough to keep it ahead of Apple, however, which held its own with a slight gain to 25.5 percent. Both Microsoft and Palm / HP slipped just under a percent each to land in a distant fourth and fifth place, respectively. As for mobile OEMs, things stayed almost identical during the three month period, with Samsung, LG, and Motorola occupying the top three spots, and only Apple seeing any significant gains thanks to the Verizon iPhone launch -- although that still wasn't enough to push it above RIM for the fourth spot. Hit up the source link below for all the numbers.

the UI is way better than whatsapp,it uses a pin like bbm its cross platform for iphones,bb and android like whats app,u can see if ur msg is send,delivered and read and a couple more but i rather it over whats app

[Swisha]

i find LiveProfile is more reliable in getting msgs delivered quickly compared to WhatsApp

i'm getting issues with sending files on LiveProfile though...

[Chimera]

htc aria any good?

[outlaw101]

mitch i got that same problem otherwise its good, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

any of you guys heard if there is a app in the works about linking bbm pins with andoirds and ios instant msgn apps?

[jhonnieblue]

bbm supposed to be coming out from what i heard, a stripped down version from RIM

ill install the live profile and check it out
i prefer how everything integrates with whatsapp on htc, dont like this pin crap
is like a step backwards to some kinda of old segmented tech

anyone running a costum rom on htc yet?

phone already rooted

[mamoo_pagal]
