Phoneage – Nexus One, Apple iPad, and Hitler
The Google Nexus One gets a firmware update that adds OS wide multi touch to the device. Multi touch works in various applications in the phone, not just the web browser. So now Nexus One owners can pinch and zoom in photos and Google Maps, just like the Apple iPhone. It is notable that the zooming does not seem as fluid or “organic” compared to the iPhone. However, it is more than satisfactory, and can easily be improved over time. Various devices have also been recently hacked; such as the Nokia 5700 to run Blackberry OS 4.6 from the Blackberry Pearl Flip, and the Sony Xperia X1 to run Android 2.0.1. Last, but not least, would be the Nokia N900 “hacked” to programing a group of poll dancing robots! For more information, please check out the video – all of the news sources and video links will be the video’s description.
See you guys on Monday!
