"When you look at a home replacement like LauncherPro, which is primarily developed by one man, it's hard to see how HTC or Motorola couldn't make their skins work as apps. LauncherPro offers home screen previews like Sense, more home screens, and even an enhanced animated widget framework. The only skin element a Market-based HTC Sense home replacement might lose is changing the color of the task bar, which requires root access in stock Android. Although, this could change in the future." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

I have had an epiphany due to this Buzz thing. Social media isn't content. It's narcissistic crap. No one cares. I've been wasting my life!
Or maybe the wrong type of content... Or focus on content... I like my friend's "narcissistic crap" and would take a longer and more sustained interest in their life than the constant soap opera that is social media/technology ;) - Johnny

I always thought of social media as a way to funnel people to your contemt which should be hosted on your site.

"The seemingly recession-proof smart phone is suffering from a side effect of the rough economy: Manufacturers simply can't build enough of the gadgets because chip-makers that rolled back production last year are now scrambling to play catch-up. The chip shortage means Apple's rivals are having trouble making enough phones to compete with the iPhone, a problem expected to persist through the holidays. It's also affecting wireless carriers, some of which are seeing delays in improving their networks, and it could even raise computer prices." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

"Both the HTC Desire and the Galaxy S run Android, but which one can be crowned victorious? Samsung's Galaxy S has certainly appeared to do the business for the Korean company, boosting their sales and ultimately being the flagship of their Android-touting superphones. However the question remains, can it really be as good as the HTC Desire; the Android phone which is regarded as the most worthy competitor to the iPhone 4.   These phones aren't cheap, and when it comes to spending your hard earned cash we want to help, so here's a breakdown of all the specs to help you decide.." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
Which is your winner? Desire for me, on software. - Kol Tregaskes
The wireless N Wi-Fi and the 8 GB or 16 GB of internal storage outweigh the lack of a camera flash. Samsung Galaxy S is the clear winner. - Tony C

Because Booyah always throws people for a loop (“Who the hell uses MyTown?”) and Loopt’s 4 million users statistic always seems to shock people, we’ve posted this handy LBS comparison below.

I *know* the iPhone has a huge market, but I just can't take a company all that serious if they don't have Android at least in the works.
Not everyone wants to rule the world. Look at OmniGroup. Their stuff is Mac only. Their iPhone/iPad apps are expensive (in the $35-$50 range). It's not that the iPhone has a huge market share or that Android is quickly eating that up... it's this market is JUST starting to go huge (how many people have a smart phone yet?) and a lot of money can be made servicing a niche. - Johnny
That's like saying you can't take BMW seriously because they don't produce a sub-$7,000 Kia-like economy car. - Akiva
True, Akiva, but that's not really what I mean. If someone has created a product specifically for the Apple crowd, it makes sense. This is not the case for most companies. They are out to get users and they stunt their growth by only supporting iPhone. I appreciate that the Android/smartphone market is newish, which is why I put in the "in the works" part. Lack of an Android app or even a decent mobile doesn't seem to make business sense for most companies. - Rah-PM 2012
Based on the data so far, if your app has a price tag, there's no point in making an Android version. But yeah, if you're a Twitter or Facebook that depends on maximizing eyeballs, you need an Android app somewhere in the skunkworks. - Roger Benningfield
True, selling apps on Android doesn't seem to be the same ballgame as on iPhone, but I should have been more specific about WHO I'm talking about. Thanks for helping clear that up, Roger. My bad :) - Rah-PM 2012
I want Words With Friends on my Android phone. So far they are not even HINTING at an Android version. - G Dub of the Carolinas
Rah, if it made business sense to most companies to produce Android apps, then that's what they would do. There are people who are a lot smarter and more experienced than us in this and they're looking at the data and saying, 'Nope, not worth our time.' You could make the same argument about Linux. Why make a Windows version and an OS X version but not a Linux version? For the same... more... - Akiva
Rah: I saw the Facebook/Foursquare post after I scrolled down... sorry. Out of curiosity, didn't Facebook release an updated Android app recently? - Roger Benningfield
They did and it's better, but it still has odd quirks. Notifications, for instance, don't seem to work at all and it dumps you into the web browser at every turn. - Rah-PM 2012
i'm baffled at anyone who doesn't make a standards compliant webapp that will work on any device of any screensize -- why go through the extra work to make two (or more) apps when you could just make one! -- if you want to charge for your webservice you get to keep all the money too! - Chris Heath
Not talking about selling apps here, I'm talking about building a base of users. I don't think the Linux analogy really works in that case. If I am Foursquare and I want to be ahead of the curve on location, I want to be on as many mobile devices as possible. With Android pushing towards being the second biggest mobile platform, I don't see how a business in that genre can ignore it. - Rah-PM 2012
in that case why make an app at all... just have a website -- look at the wunderground.com webapp - look at the wolframalpha webapp - look at gmail and google voice -- you don't need to make a native app - Chris Heath
Look at Miso and GetGlue. Both are basically Foursquare for entertainment/everything, letting you check-in when you're watching stuff, thinking about something, whatever. They both just launched Android apps. It just makes sense for certain businesses. - Rah-PM 2012
I will point out that the same arguments of expenditure and effort were apparent in the early days of the iPhone. This is not a reason to dismiss innovation. Also, the notion that "Android people are notorious about not wanting to pay for anything" is just silly. - JCunwired
I agree Chris. A decent web interface works as well. Hot Potato had a nice one, for instance. - Rah-PM 2012
JCunwired, how is it silly? I hear it time and time again from developers. - Akiva
I think Android people don't buy apps because they have options. There is usually a free alternative. The paid stuff usually doesn't have anything special to make you take out your credit card. - Rah-PM 2012
Well said Rah. The differentiation between most free and paid apps for Android is that one is ad-supported, the other not. Android market is still limited in many countries who can submit paid apps, even more limited in those who can purchase apps. There is a decline in revenue of mobile apps across the board, it is not exclusive to Android. Does this mean that both iPhone and Android... more... - JCunwired
I'm also pretty sure the overhead in cash and headaches is much lower with Android than it is with Apple. - Rah-PM 2012
I'm enjoying this thread. also, I posted this related, ALA link earlier today: Apps vs. The Webb http://www.alistapart.com/article... - jbrotherlove
RE: ad supported apps... I'm secretly hoping iAds never goes anywhere. Across two iPads and two iPhones, we don't have a single ad-supported app installed, and that's just how I like it. Literally the last thing I want to see for iOS is a development ecosystem where free-with-ads becomes the default position. - Roger Benningfield
It's usually only the default if you don't want to buy the app outright ;) - Rah-PM 2012

Master Your Smartphone: The Best Android Tips and Tricks | Maximum PC
"From its auspicious start as the brainchild of Internet giant Google, Android has matured into a well-rounded, extremely capable smartphone operating system. Advocating open source, Google released Android to the masses, opening the doors to application developers. There were a few growing pains, of course, such as weak Bluetooth support and a lack of multitouch support, but today Android is knocking on the door of the iPhone mansion, and it's knocking hard. Android hardware offers some of the most powerful smartphones we've ever seen. The Android Market app store is growing strong, and the Android user base is growing just as fast. Android phones are flying off the shelves faster than they can be created, so we think it's about time we put together a guide for the Android power user. On the following pages, we’ll walk you through what you need to know about Google’s mobile OS and how to make the most out of it." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

It's a bit inaccurate in the Network speed vs Battery life section. That only applies to GSM networks. If you turn off EVDO, the phone will use up more battery life. - Rodfather
Are you sure Rod? I haven't compared this specific setting, but when at home I turn off mobile network access (Sprint) to save battery. Without this service polling for connection, why would more battery drain occur? - JCunwired
If you turn the radio off, yes it'll definitely save battery life. I'm saying if you turn off EVDO and go down to 1xRTT, it'll drain the battery more. In the article, going from 3G to 2G (EDGE) saves battery, which is true for GSM networks, but that's not true with CDMA networks. - Rodfather
Yep, great article. - Kol Tregaskes
Thank you sir for the clarification! - JCunwired
