BTW Woz was misquoted...

woz like he suffering from a classic case of backpedal

[Swisha]

Guys need some advice, a relative of mine looking at the Galaxy Tab. There real interest is for Emails and PDFs but they liked it cuz of the size, etc.

What i need to know is what are the good PDF apps that allow for loading of bookmarks in a PDF. I was looking at the Adobe Reader for Android and well that didnt cut it, and i found one searching named Repligo but that's 7.95usd. Are there any others?

thanks for the help in advance. Remember, /must/ load bookmarks for the PDFs.

Gingerbread man finish bake?

[Swisha]

ok gingerbread is still baking.

apparently this is a minor froyo update. my build number now says FRG83D


Nexus One gets an update to FRG83D (no, it's still not Gingerbread)



The Google Nexus One just got itself a little update. It's still Android 2.2.1 -- no Gingerbread yet, folks -- and the 1.3MB download looks to be a bunch of patches and bugfixes. We've poked around it for a few minutes, and here's what we see:

The Froyo framework has been patched, as has the applications debugger. When we look at the system applications, each has a small patch, but Vending (the Android Market, which is now at Version 2.12), the Google services framework, and the GoogleEmail application (not Gmail) has a larger patch in place. There's also a small patch to the stock recovery.

So, no Gingerbread yet, but this is likely an update to get us ready for it.

Google Cloud Connect Syncs Microsoft Office With Google Docs



Love the awesomeness of Google Docs, with real-time collaboration and never worrying about your hard drive exploding, taking down all of your documents, but stuck using Microsoft Office? They just got together with Google Cloud Connect.




A simple plug-in from Google launching today effectively turns Microsoft Office into a front-end for Google Docs (aptly named "Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office plug-in"). So everything you type in Word, every number you punch in Excel or spreadsheet you whip up in Powerpoint is perfectly synced and backed up to your Google Docs account—and you can collaborate with other Google Docs users.

The catch? Right now it only works for Office on Windows, because the APIs aren't there for Office on Mac.

Combined with editing for mobile devices, Google Docs just got a lot more awesome. It's pretty clever, too—while not everybody's down with editing and working with documents in a browser window, using Google Docs as a web tying together documents from all kinds of devices and applications makes it a lot easier to slip into.

Acer to bring a 4.8-inch Android phone in Q2 2011



Acer has announced that they will be bringing their own spin on an Android phone, in a very big way come April 2011. The yet unnamed 4.8-inch (yes, 4.8 inch) Android phone will feature a 1024x480 touchscreen, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 8MP rear camera and 2 MP front facing camera, HSDPA, DLNA, and more.

Sounds quite impressive. And quite big. Only thing is that Acer has been unable to break into the U.S. market on any platform.


ACER Next Generation Smartphone
100% Smartphone, 100% Tablet:

New York, November 23rd 2010 – The new Acer smartphone with the soul of a tablet perfectly combines the capabilities of a smartphone with a tablet-like format: a huge 4.8” widescreen with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a super cool chassis.
Its revolutionary design , characterized by a stretched out, thin and slightly curved shape, makes it a fascinating device that will not go unnoticed. Its full metal body, enriched by subtle wavy patterns, conveys a sense of timeless elegance. What’s more, it offers a perfect fit in your hand thanks to its smoothly curved back and minimal width (64mm).
The front is entirely dominated by the extraordinary, multi-touch, high resolution 4.8″ screen, with 4 keys: Home, Search, Back, and Menu. While on the back there is an 8MP camera, complete with LED Flash.
This truly innovative device is perfect for fashion addicts or tech savvy people looking for the latest and cutting edge technology available ensuring superior browsing and excellent multimedia entertainment.
This latest Android smartphone is extremely powerful, guaranteeing long-lasting fun. It will also be able to wirelessly control all the multimedia content of your home environment, thanks to the integrated clear.fi media sharing system.

IDEAL FOR BROWSING
•No limit in assessing any web sites with the same user experience as using a traditional PC, so web sites don’t need to be resized and adjusted, thanks to its exceptional resolution of 1024×480 and a very large 4.8″ screen (12.2cm diagonal), there is no need to zoom in on web pages, or to scroll left & right. The only thing you need to do is scroll up & down, just like on your PC.
•Fast and fully featured, the Android browser offers: multi-touch, Java script optimization, Adobe Flash Player 10.1 support, and multiple page opening.
•Ultra-fast high-speed connectivity via HSDPA @ 14.4 and WiFi N for data connection.
•Bluetooth 3.0

GREAT FOR MOVIES
On the 21:9 screen you can watch a movie in its original format, for an engrossing cinema-like experience. What’s more the LED backlit display uses the same technology as TV showing super bright and vivid images; to top it off, Dolby Mobile technology delivers vibrant, immersive sound. Not enough for you yet? Thanks to DLNA technology or the HDMI cable, you can connect it to your TV to view your content on an even bigger screen!

POWERFUL
Inside the product beats the powerful 1GHz Snapdragon processor, which, in addition to the large screen, turns this smartphone into a perfect game console. Together with 6-axis motion sensing (Gyroscope + accelerometer), this smartphone will exceed any gaming expectation.
Equipped with an 8MP camera and LED flash, and a 2MP front camera for high quality IP video calling.
With a screen resolution of 1024×480, more content can be displayed on screen, in all regular apps, such as, Contacts, Google Maps, Email, Instant Messaging conversations, etc.
100% Smartphone, 100% Tablet: a revolutionary experience for people who want it all!
