AndroidGuys : A Spammer Responds: "We Will Flood the Android Market"

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:28:00 +0000

I am with Google on this one, though they should work on adding more countries into the paid list and add few more payment options (will come soon it seems). Sending thousands of apps in the market to get revenue based on a small part of a the large number... is spamming and nobody likes spams.

Looks good but would be better with Froyo and a less "iphoney" UI...!

AndroidGuys : The Shocking Costs of "Free" Navigation, According to Garmin

I think that either they abused of the satellite and street view or they had other things downloading data in the background (gmail, tweet,...).

Yes, Vodafone Ireland on PrePaid. I didn't know about roaming onLive but I thought the Live APN would not give you a full web experience but something filtered by Vodafone proxies and that it would give you access only to web not to email or maps... Does it give you data for gmail, maps, tweets? When in Ireland I'm using the Vodafone ISP APN. Each month I will top-up 30euro, vodafone always give you 20% extra so I would have 36euro. I'll have then unlimited call and text to Vodafone (for 30 days). I would get 5GB for 20euro (http://www.vodafone.ie/df/mobilebroadband/gallery.jsp#prepay-plans) for my data and that will leave me 16 euro for non-vodafone texts and calls (more than enough). I would not find this on a contract with the freedom I have in PrePaid.

Some plot from Garmin Marketing... They are wrong to think that the solution is with this Asus phone. They would sell the app if it was available on the Market for all android phone users to install because it is better than Google Navigation (right now, it might not be true after few updates as Google will catch up).

Their claim is based on people roaming... not on their home network so unlimited data does not apply in this case.

The thing is Garmin has the software ready on the phone they made with Asus. It would take very little time for few engineers to make it available on the Market.

I'll suggest to everyone to test their phone and post the results below. I did on my Nexus One with Froyo and they are similar to the graph. Nexus One, Froyo FRF91 SunSpider: 5691.4ms V8: 206 SunSpider: http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9/sunspid... V8: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v5/r... You should try also on your computer... Phones are still far in terms of speed :-)
