Here is a comparison video of startup times of Windows Phone 7, Android, iOS and Windows Mobile.

The attending devices are as follows:

  • iOS 4 – iPhone 4
  • Android 2.2 – Nexus One
  • Windows Phone 7 – LG Panther
  • Windows Mobile 6 – HTC HD2

Check out this browser comparison between the LG Panther (Windows Phone 7), iPhone 4 (iOS 4.0.1) and Nexus One (Android 2.2).

Pretty neat little feature in IE on Windows Phone 7. It can load content in different tabs in the background, and as far as I know, this isn’t currently available on other platforms.


Google and Adobe just announced that Flash Player 10.1 is now available for download for you lucky Nexus One owners. The application can be downloaded straight from the Android Market on your Nexus One.

Haven’t seen a 4.25MB file brining so much jealousy on iPhone users ;)


An interesting video that came out from Google Android’s test lab. Jeff Sharkey, Android engineer, tries to figure out which screen color is the most energy efficient on an AMOLED screen. With the dark red tint, most sub-level pixels are turned off, and battery consumption is nearly half of that with a “normal” AMOLED screen.


Nexus OneGoogle made the Nexus One Froyo Update today official by announcing the availability on their blog.

Starting today, Nexus One users will begin to receive the Android 2.2 (codenamed Froyo) over-the-air software update on their phones. This update provides some great new features including support for making your handset a portable hotspot and support for Adobe Flash within the browser. For a complete list of everything we’ve included in Android 2.2, please see the Android 2.2 Platform Highlights.

In order to access the update, you will receive a message on your phone’s notification bar. Just download the update, wait for it to install, and you should be all set. This update will be rolled out gradually to phones – and most users will receive the notification by the end of the week . We hope you enjoy these new features.

Entourage season 7 started earlier today with a very good episode. Why does this episode interest us? Because Ari Gold has a Nexus One. The scene in the video above began at around 09:32.


Google has started pushing out an OTA update to the Nexus One that will bring the latest and final Froyo build on board. The new build number is FRF83.

Enjoy :)


Andy Rubin, VP of Engineering at Google, just announced that Android 2.2, aka. Froyo, will be officially available today! Rubin told this earlier today at an event where the Motorola Droid X was announced.
