Small modifications to the site

This weekend I decided to invest in my blog's header and created a mixture of all the mobile super heroes I created so far.

It even has some new ones that I didn't publish yet (like the Bold which will be coming this week). Hope you find it better than the previous header.

Also, I modified the colors of the side bar to be more... blue and less... green. (not that there's nothing wrong with green...)

LG's S-CLASS User Interface: What do you think about it?

I recently criticise the LG S-Class user interface for being too inconsistent, having too many screens, flows, icons, mess.

Some people agreed with me while other seemed to like the award winning UI. I thought the entire thing is bad!

Well, I was wrong!

Or right?

Or both???

Check for yourself - there's a complete emulator of the S-Class UI in LG's website and you can see it all in action: link to emulator.

After you finish - come back and vote in the poll I've created below - let us know what your thoughts are about the user interface:

Now that you've voted, here are my thoughts about it: I think it's much better than previously seen in the first few vidoes. I think that the videos gave a very bad impression, but playing with the shell seems to be nice and smooth.

Of course, the emulator can deceive a little bit as this is not running on Windows Mobile, and I still think that some of the screens are just too messy and could have been more simple, (and I still don't like the copied iPhone icons in the widgets section), but overall, I have better opinion now than I originally had.

How tough is Panasonic ToughBook?

Well, if you think that surviving a tiger's teeth and carrying a real elephant's weight is considered to be tough - then it's tough!

 

Here's a great video demonstration. Enjoy!

Coming up next: sticking a chewing gum on an iPhone. Would it last?

Palm Pre - is it really that good?

I'm on the mood for some more Pre stuff, so here are 2:

1. In case you are interested, there's a nice collection of Palm Pre's icons in PPCGeeks. I downloaded them and they are very nice:

Download Palm Pre Icons

 

2. In case you are disappointed that you still don't own a Pre, here something to chill you out a little bit, 10 things which annoys Kevin from JKOnTheRun.

I went over those 10 items, and I must say they don't seem so drastic to me, maybe the only really important ones are the missing scroll bar and the quick jump to the top of the page.

Going over the comments, I found another list of missing features, and this time it seems more annoying:

1. Alarms on Tasks.
2. Categories on Contacts
3. GCal integration is slow. Often my calendar appears blank. Almost as if the calendar is being downloaded every time.
4. Navigating text using the keyboard. The only way to move the text cursor (to correct a typo, for example) is to tap the screen in EXACTLY the right spot. Needs something like arrow keys or the Treo rocker key.
5. Better/more calendar views. The week and month views are pretty useless. Need better ways to view more than one day at a time.
6. Landscape mode for more apps. Especially for Calendar, which would fix #5.

So, do you think it means the device has some serious issues? or will you hurry and get one as soon as you'll have the chance?

I know I'm still excited about it and intend to get me one soon.

What would happen of RIM in few years?

I would like to recommend on a very interesting read by Boy Genius Report, talking about RIM, and how far it can go with the brilliant BlackBerry, which is, and I believe many will agree - an amazing smartphone, but has some limitations.

The biggest problem, as described by BGR is the software, and I have to admit, that's exactly my biggest problem with BlackBerry too.

 

You have a great looking device, comfortable, with the perfect for factor, simple to operate, not too slim, not too delicate, good performance, stable, real push of course, and everything is working perfectly.

But what about some decent software (or better: freeware) to spice things up? That is something that seems to be missing.

On the other hand, many people thought RIM will not win the battle against bigger OS and it seems like BlackBerry phones are just becoming more successful every quarter.

If you are using a BlackBerry, or thinking of getting one - I recommend reading this one, it's a very interesting opinion.

I will publish my own thoughts of BlackBerry Bold, a device I recently started using. So far it looks like an amazing smartphone with one problem... software... hmm...

Palm Pre App Catalog Reaches 1 Million Downloads

If you are wondering how is the Palm Pre doing, it seems that it is doing not bad at all!

I recently saw this post mentioning the following:

Palm Pre App Catalog Reaches 1 Million Downloads!

Pretty impressive, don't you think? considering that the device is still new, and that the SDK did not go public yet, meaning that there are just a few applications available to download (around 30).

Congratulations Palm, finally you manage to create a winner.

 

On launch day, Palm sold 50k devices and their App Catalog experienced 100k downloads - that’s an average of 2 apps downloaded per device and 5,500 downloads per app (with a low of 600 and a high of 20k). 18 days later and they’ve tripled the user base to 150k units, averaging 6+ apps downloaded per device and 33.3k downloads per app (with a low of 2.4k and a high of 114k).
