Droid Razr Review – The Best Android Phone?

Droid Razr Review – The Best Android Phone? The engineering brilliance behind the Droid Razr cannot be understated. Packed in just .28-inches of stainless steel and soft-touch Kevlar, the Razr manages to include some truly impressive specs into an amazingly thin frame. Like Motorola’s clamshell offering from yesteryear, the Droid Razr is an incredible feat of hardware design that should be the blueprints for future devices. But how does it tie up as a whole? One big question heading into our review was, “Does it live up to the Razr name?” The answer to that is yes, but there are a few caveats, and one of them is a big one. The Motorola Droid Razr is remarkably thin. So thin, in fact, that even after seeing it in pictures, holding it in person is a bit of a shock. Track one down to know what we mean, you’ll be surprised too. The thing is, though, the device is by no means small, especially if you have smaller hands. The screen sits at 4.3-inches, but the way the phone was designed to accommodate every component makes it seems clunky. There is a huge bezel that pretty much makes one-handed use next to impossible, and the squared-off edges adds to this illusion. Next to an iPhone 4/iPhone 4S, the thing is massive. Still, consumers with bigger hands may not even notice its size. That aside, the specs packed into the Razr make for a very snappy, smooth experience. The 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM open folders and applications very quickly, and it was actually one of …

Question by Dandelion: How do you remove a photo emoticon you created on an samsung gravity android phone?
I created a photo emoticon so that when if i do -_0 it would send a photo emoticon I created, however, I do not want it anymore and I have no idea how to delete it from emoticons list so that it stops sending that picture. please help!!

Best answer:

Answer by Randy Eddy
Hi Dandelion,

I have the same problem and have have been unable to find out how to delete one that was created on my gravity.

However, I did figure out that if you create a new one with the same name and the same text you can replace the picture with different one.

A friend I let borrow my phone created an emoticon with an inappropriate picture and I was desperate to delete it, but replacing the picture he used will work for now, at least until I can get an answer from Samsung.

Hope this helps.

Question by Cesar: does a google based android phone force you to create a gmail account when setting up your phone in store for?
also, how do i contact on the phone google customer service?
sorry, after for in the question, it’s supposed to say “for the first time”.

Best answer:

Answer by Corbin
yes, if you get an android phone you will have to have a gmail account. you can make one right there from the phone or use an existing one. if you do not have a gmail account linked to your phone you cannot download apps from the market and also (one of my favorite things about the gmail account) save your contacts to your gmail and if for some reason your phone looses your contacts and/or apps or most any info. you can pull it straight off your gmail.

as for customer service there should be a premade contact on your phone for that labeled (ironically) “customer service”

Amadeus Consulting Discusses the Google Chrome App Store

New App Stores Promote Web Application Development

Google announced this week its Chrome App Store, which allows people to package and distribute custom web applications in a central location, much like they would sell iPhone™ or Android™ applications. The new store is currently only available to US users, and requires the use of Google’s free Chrome browser.

Apps can be packaged and distributed through the store in one of two ways.

Hosted Apps: These are normal websites with a bit of extra metadata. You can build and deploy hosted apps exactly as you would build and deploy any web app, using whatever server-side or client-side technologies you like. The only difference is that you must provide a small manifest file that describes the app.
Packaged Apps: If you want your app to work well offline or to be tightly integrated with the Google Chrome browser, you can package your app. A packaged app is just a web app that the user downloads. Packaged apps have the option of using the Google Chrome Extension APIs, allowing packaged apps to change the way Chrome behaves or looks.

The benefit is that this gives developers the ability to easily promote and distribute web applications, while retaining full freedom to use whatever technologies they like. This also means that current web apps can be easily imported into the store and offered for free, or sold, or include in-app payments. In other words, you have a lot of freedom.

Many websites have already taken advantage of this by quickly importing their existing webapps, including Farmville, NYTimes, NPR, Weather Underground, Gilt, and many others. In addition to applications, the Chrome store also allows custom browser plugins and extensions.

Many other commercial outlets currently have web applications (restaurants, clothing companies, sports teams, online gambling, and many others), which could easily be updated to work through the Chrome app store.

As a web application development company, this also adds extra incentive for new companies to create web apps, as now they have external distribution channels as well.

In a related move, Apple® is also planning to launch an app store in early 2011 (possibly even in the last few weeks of 2010). This will give users the ability to download free and paid apps to their Mac, but these will only be stand-alone apps, more similar to how iPhone app development and distribution works.

Details are still a little bit sparse, but these will allow all types of apps and applications to be sold or distributed through the store. This could include desktop versions of smaller apps, or full-fledged applications like Photoshop.

This will help give small app publishers a win by having a direct and independent distribution channel directly to consumers, even if Apple takes a cut of the profit. Of course, big application publishers also benefit by being able to cheaply sell and distribute new software, though the difference may not be as impactful for them.
