[h1]App: Google Shopper for Android Does Voice & Visual Searches[/h1]
File under: News

Google recently released Google Shopper, which is a free Android app for Android Market, that does voice and visual search. You scan scan barcodes and product pictures or perform a search by voice to get back detailed listings of prices, product reviews, and specs.
If all of this sounds familiar, it should. There is already another Google-made app for the Android Market by the name of Google Goggles, which will come preloaded in most, if not all, Andorid 2.1 handsets . Google Goggles, I believe, does not include the voice search feature, but performs the visual search promised by Shopper.
To download shopper, either scan the QR code at the bottom or do a search for "Shopper" in Android Market.

[h1]Windows Phone 7 Series Smartphones Priced Higher than Android?[/h1]

Microsoft recently stated that it will be charging for the operating system behind Windows Phone 7 Series, which could make smartphones running the Microsoft OS priced slightly more expensive than their Android counterparts running hardware with similar specs due to the added licensing cost--Google provides Android as a free, open-source OS for manufacturers.
According to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer:
"I think there's something clean and simple and easy to understand about our model. We build something, we sell that thing ... I think it's not only in our best interests, but it's a simple model that's easy for developers, handset manufacturers, and our operator partners to deal with, to understand, and to build from."
While licensing costs aren't yet disclosed, Strategic Analytics is estimating that such costs would be around $8 to $15 per handset for manufacturers, like HTC and LG, both of which have committed to Windows Phone 7 Series among others. This cost would either have to be absorbed by manufacturers and/or carriers or will be passed onto consumers, the latter will result in a pricing differential between a Windows Phone and an Android phone running on similar hardware.

[h4]Windows Phone 7 Series getting one chassis spec at launch, two more in the pipe?[/h4]
By Chris Ziegler posted Feb 23rd 2010 3:32PM
If we had it boil it down, the singular image burned in our brains of Windows Phone 7 Series so far is that of a large, nondescript slate -- the so-called "dogfood" device being passed around internally for the platform's development -- and although Microsoft isn't talking specs at this point, it's widely believed that this phone roughly represents the Chassis 1 spec that Redmond is passing around to hardware partners. Is this the only way you'll be able to get your WinPho 7 served to you, though? We might yet be months away from an official answer, but a pair of Microsoft developer evangelists on an Australian podcast are saying that Chassis 1 (full touchscreen, gigahertz processor, and dedicated graphics acceleration) will be the sole option at launch, with Chassis 2 and 3 following on after that. 2 is said to be "more like a Palm Treo" with a dedicated QWERTY keyboard, while 3 remains a mystery, though there's some speculation on the podcast that it could be a candybar -- a form factor that's becoming something of a lost art these days, particularly among smartphones. The speakers note that there's a lot of value in offering some form factor variety -- not everyone wants a keyboardless slate, after all -- so the real question might be how quickly after initial launch we'll see some of these other chassis filter down to retail.

[h1]AT&T to Get HTC Desire; Sprint Brings HTC Legend as Hero2 to USA [/h1]
File under: News
By: Chuong Nguyen | Date: 24-Feb-10 | 0 Comments
It looks like that one of the 5 Android phones for AT&T will be none other than the HTC Desire, which is essentially a Google Nexus One with Sense UI. AT&T may make some minor cosmetic changes to the Desire as part of the carrier's customizations, but the handset should remain intact and as close to its European variant as possible. Google may still bring a variant of the Nexus One that is compatible with AT&T's 3G mobile data network, but those wanting Sense UI and the carrier experience will be happy to know that a tipster of BGR told the blog that the Desire will be making its way across the Atlantic.
Another handset that's crossing the big, blue sea is the HTC Legend, essentially an upgrade for the original HTC Hero. That handset will be getting a CDMA radio and may be branded as the Hero2 for Sprint. With regards to the original Hero, the trans-Atlantic migration to Sprint meant that the original Hero lost its chin and gained a more fashionably chic look. It's unclear if HTC and Sprint will be unibody aluminum look, but we hope so as that look is getting more popular in the smartphone space these days. If in fact Sprint does adopt the Legend as the Hero2, we're wondering now if Verizon Wireless may see fit for a Droid Eris2 update?

[h1]HTC Desire: HD Video Encoding, DivX Playback[/h1]
File under: News

According to MobileTechWorld, which talked to HTC, the Android HTC Desire will be getting a software package that will enable DivX playback. MobileTechWorld also believes, from HTC's insinuations, that HD video encoding at 720p will also be supported via the same software update package.
Those features did not have time to be finalized for the handset's launch.
