Nokia C2-01 review: a little something

Little money in your pocket and a good phone for you. Is Nokia C2-01? A still camera, 3 G and a memory card slot audio that we're on the right track. In contrast to the C2-00, this rules out dual SIM handling, but there are other goodies to compensate.

Nokia C2-01 official photos

IT's a cheap phone alright, nothing too exciting, nothing to shout about. But Nokia C2-01 deserves a little credit for a number of nice little clip functions in their budget. 3.2MP still imaging lets it refreshing after a primary VGA camera recently. Data rates top edge and a microSD card slot means there's more than enough space for your music collection. One 3.5 mm line-in input may be better than expected for the price you pay.

We have no complaints (seriously, it's 2011 and S40 still lacks smart dialing) but C2-01 looks pretty decent. Arguably, hold the lack of support for dual SIM against Nokia C2-01. This feature is of course up to the most basic phones in the C series. C2-01 is a budget phone but not as much of a penny pincher.

Apple iPad, 2 face iPhone 4, 3GS in an epic show shootout

IPad, 2 have already been through dozens of reviews since its inception, but none of them is as scientific as this. The guys over at DisplayMate has compared the tablet in 1024 x 768 pixels screen of the iPhone 4 retina display and iPhone 3GS modest HVGA screen.

Here are some of the more interesting findings of the review-iPad, 2 display has a maximum brightness brightness 410 cd/m ^ 2, which is pretty good, but not quite as impressive as 541 cd/m ^ 2 iPhone 4, and also one of 428 cd/m ^ 2 in 3GS.

But the black iPad, 2 is the deepest of the trio of 0.45 cd/m ^ 2 (iPhone 4 got 0,48 cd/m ^ 2 and the 3GS 3.1 cd/m ^ 2), which gave it a contrast ratio of 962: 1. It is almost seven times better than 3GS but not quite as good as the iPhone 4. Still both iPhone and iPad, 2 4 drew excellent speech, their LCD light.

The color temperature of the iPad, 2 also said to be lower than 4 so that colors appear slightly warmer in Slate, compared to the smartphone of iPhone.


Apple iPad, 2 vs iPhone 3GS vs iPhone 4 show shootout results table

Which angles are concerned, all three tested units lost more than 50 percent of their brightness in 30-degree viewing angle, but still had pretty good contrast when the iPad, and iPhone 2 4 (564 and 556 respectively).

Finally, the measured power consumption of different reviewers screens. IPhone 4 was found to have at least power at maximum brightness (0.42 Watts), while the iPad, 2 was sucking 2,7 watts. If you level the field by setting up both to the same brightness, and split the consumption in the iPad, 2 through the crowd that its screen is bigger then iPhone 4, give you a fairly similar energy efficiency but (0.32 watt for phone vs 0.34 Watts for tablet).

And it's a pretty good indicator of how Apple made when comparing iPhone 4 to 3GS. HVGA screen of the previous generation smartphones require almost twice the power of its successor.

Flash 10.1 beta 2 is coming for Android 2.2, 2.3 and 3.0 for today

Adobe unleashed today beta of their Flash 10.1 for Android 2.2. It is supported on Froyo, gingerbread and Honeycomb pieces and promising serious faster performance.

This is still just a beta version and it is expected to have some bugs. But still, an increase in streaming performance is visible and it is well worth to try out the update.

Let us refresh your memory about the upgrades Flash player 10 (2). Play a YouTube video at 480 p is still hit-and-miss, while a 720 p clips is unwatchable. Even if you remember an update came out not long ago for Motorola Xoom, as Motorola claims required for the upcoming Flash 10 (2) update.

Adobe promises to remedy this with a more polished version of the update that is coming soon. Right now the hardware acceleration for Xoom actually is off and be activated with the next release.

Beta Update also promises to bring increased performance with dual-core Android devices running on versions 2.2 and 2.3. Not to mention a leap in performance on Android 3.0 for tablets. The latter should be able to stream seamlessly 720 p HD quality with the final version of the Flash 10 (2). This will seriously jeopardise the heat on the new iPad, 2, in our opinion.

Older core smartphones should get a performance increase, so do not think that you have provided if you have an earlier generation of droid.

There are no words on its availability as the update yet, but should hit the Android market beta a minute now. When it does, you should verify it, we know we will.

Android market catch up to Apple's App Store in the app code

The number of apps is a sort of pride for the app store so here it goes-Android market quickly catch up to the current leader, Apple's App Store. In addition, the increasing market seems to be faster, while in the App Store.

The current figures are 350 000 apps in Apple's App Store and 250 000 in Android market. App Store still has a significant but when you look at the figures from six months ago, it seems that this lead may not last very long.

In October last year, the Apple store in a cool 185 thousand apps forward at a time when the market was a mere 100 thousand apps overall. During the last six months but the Android market has added about 150 thousand apps its virtual shelves while Apple's App Store managed just 65 thousand new items.

The bar graph, make sit easy to understand how much faster Android market grew from Apple's App Store. BlackBerry's App world and Windows phone 7 Marketplace is barely on the map.

It's not all good with Android market, although the first malware issues and now apparently some apps were reverse engineered and resale of other developers due to the lack of censorship. Transparency is also a question-if not for anything else, we can find the search function of the Android market are relatively subpar despite what Google's reputation might suggest.

An indie dev says that Google's own apps and iPhone app goes, indeed to get your app or game discovery is a tough challenge. Things worsened when he discovered one of their games are actually sold by another company under a different name. The company has also copied several other games.


Evil Planet (the original) to the left, Galaxy wars (copy) to the right

It is things like this that will drive developers to alternative app stores (like Amazon) but it is an open question whether they can do things better than Google has succeeded. We hope at least they would reach more regions.

Android versions distribution update: Froyo surpasses 60%

This is Google, which gives us the latest update for Android platform versions distribution. Figures show that Froyo increases its lead on the front, while gingerbread and Honeycomb still struggling to make an impact. There is also a significant loss of market shares for all Android releases prior to and including 2.1 Eclair.

And here's the exact figures-compared with February, Froyo won 3.7% of additional market share and adding 61.3%.

Android 2.3 gingerbread actually lost and slipped 0.1% to 0.7%, but other gingerbread distribution (2.3.3) now runs on 1% of all droids. And total 1.7% is more than twice as large percentage pepparkakor held last month, it is still quite insignificant compared to what is Froyo.

We are convinced that this will soon change as the availability of devices increases and more gingerbread updates start coming in. Also we are sure that devices like the Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC desire's and affordable Wildfire's should enhance Android 2.3 share considerably when they hit the shelves.

It is the same story with Tablet-friendly Android 3.0 Honeycomb. It contains only 0.2% of the market now, but it is not that bad considering that Motorola Xoom is only publicly available entity to use it.

Finally, we note the continued decline of Android versions before Froyo. 2.1 Eclair slipped another 2.1% to 29%, while the 1.6 Donut lost 1.5% to 4.8%. The oldest Android version that still has a significant market share is 1.5 Cupcake, which is 0.9% and now runs on the 3% of all droids.

We are waiting for the current trends will continue during the next month. Since late April/early May are likely to see the first decrease in market share since its launch as Froyo gingerbread (2.3.3 mostly as 2.3 will be skipped by most manufacturers and will probably become extinct) and Honeycomb pick up the pace.

Five dual core Androids reference users, HTC Pyramid too

The battle of the dual-core and all hold their breath. That will come out on top-the Tegra 2, Exynos, OMAP4 or Snapdragon? Both processors and their new GPUs are tested to see how the new generation of smartphones do.

A comprehensive mobile shotout brought together five of the latest dual-core Android phones-Motorola Atrix 4 G, the LG Optimus 2 X LG Optimus 3D, Samsung Galaxy S I9100 II and HTC Pyramid (a.k.a. Shooter). Those who represent four different platforms-NVIDIA Tegra 2 (Atrix, 2 X), OMAP4 (3D), Exynos (Galaxy S II) and Snapdragon (Pyramid).

The table below gives a breakdown of CPUs, GPUs, RAM, screen resolution, OS version.

AndroidAndMe.com ran some tests and collected others from various sources. Note that Motorola Atrix 4 G and HTC Pyramid is a disadvantage because they must update 30% more pixels and also LG Optimus 3D Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Pyramid was running pre-production software.

Here are some of the results (some of benchmark apps not running on some phones).


Android dual-core benchmarks

Although the Snapdragon processor with dual core technology possesses a 20% clock speed advantage, posted the worse results than Cortex A9 cores in the other chipsets. It is at this point is not clear how much this is due to unfinished software and how much the older Scorpion core design (which, apart from a dying fall, is the same as in the original Snapdragons).
