Posted: 27 Dec 2010 04:16 PM PST


lg ally

Do you still remember the Android 2.1 powered LG Ally, which was launched back in May on the airwaves of Verizon Wireless? We have a good news for the LG Ally users. After the long wait, Android 2.2 (FroYo) update is finally coming to this mid-range smartphone in February.

LG Ally features a 3.2 inch touchscreen display with 800 x 480 pixels resolution, 600 MHz processor, Android 2.1 OS, Slide-Out QWERTY Keyboard, 3.2 megapixel camera with Autofocus and Flash, 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, A-GPS, Visual Voice Mail, Android Market, 3.5mm Headset jack, Up to 450 mins talk-time, up to 500 hrs stand-by time and more.

LG Ally recently received a software update, but the owners were disappointed since it was just a minor software update and not the Android 2.2 (FroYo) update. A moderator at the LG Forum recently said that LG Ally owner will finally get the much awaited Android 2.2 update in February 2011. It is still unknown whether the Froyo upgrade will allow them to run Adobe Flash Player 10.1, since the specs of this handset is lower than the Adobe's hardware requirements.

ADWLauncher EX Brings Insanely Cool Transition Effects to Android

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 08:32 AM PST


If you are an Android user, you are probably familiar with ADWLauncher, which is one of the most popular home screen replacement apps for Android. Why would anyone want to replace their default launcher? The simple answer is – convenience. Third party launchers like ADW and Launcher Pro support more homescreens, more icons per screens, dockbars, more widgets, gestures and other convenient features.

As mentioned earlier, ADWLauncher is already one of the more popular home-screen replacements available on Android. ADWLauncher EX takes things to the next level by adding oodles of cool features, while achieving huge performance improvements.

Launcher EX features five app drawer styles – the default vertical one, a new smoother vertical drawer, the cube style implemented by Launcher Pro, the horizontal drawer seen in Galaxy phones, and a new flingable continuous horizontal drawer. The best thing is that irrespective of the style you are using, scrolling through apps (even when you have hundreds of them) is crazy smooth.

ADWLauncher-EX

ADWLauncher EX also ships with numerous dazzling transition effects to wow your friends with. There are eight of them at the moment, and I love almost all of them. Once again, the transitions are fast and smooth and never get in your way. Check out the video below to see some of them in action.

Techie Buzz Verdict

ADWLauncher EX - TechieBuzz Reccomends Launcher EX is not a freeware. It’s priced at €2.50, which works out to approximately $3.50. In my opinion, the performance benefits alone make ADWLauncher EX worth buying. However, if you need more reasons, you should be pleased with the editable desktop icons for applications, shortcuts and folders, super cool transition effects, and flexible app drawers. As far as I am concerned, ADW Launcher EX is the best launcher/home screen replacement app for Android.

Techie Buzz Rating: 4.5/5 (Excellent)

Sony Ericsson Mysterious New Handset Pictures Leak

Posted: 26 Dec 2010 11:55 PM PST


The PlayStation Phone from Sony Ericsson is already one of the most anticipated handsets of 2011. We also know that Sony Ericsson will be launching the Anzu/X12 next year. However, the guys over at Blog Of Mobile, have managed to get their hands on leaked pictures of a never seen before Sony Ericsson handset. Along with this, they have also found tons of images shot from the phone and the phone seems to be sporting an 8MP camera.

Sony_Ericsson_Mysterious_Handset

From the leaked picture shown above, it is clearly visible that the microUSB connector and the 3.5mm jack are located at the top on this mysterious handset. The handset also sports a very large front facing camera, possibly for HD video calls. The handset also seems to be running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sony's Mediascape UI on top of it. The company will be announcing a slew of new Android handsets at the upcoming MWC (Mobile World Congress) in 2011.

Earlier, Sony announced that they aim of becoming the largest Android handset manufacturer in 2011. Looking at the current state of Android offerings from Sony – the Xperia X10 family – all I can say is that the company needs to come up with some really good Android handsets to backup its statement.

De-Clutter to Sell Your Home Fast

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 02:00 AM PST

As you prepare your home to sell, you will need to get rid of clutter. Some of what you think of as part of daily life and don’t consider to be clutter can get in the way of helping buyers to see themselves in the space.

Some people find it hard to de-clutter a home they are selling of they are still living in it. It isn’t easy, but the temporary inconvenience pays off because you’ll likely sell your home faster than you would if you left everything as it is. If you remember than all the cleaning up you do now means you will have less to do as you pack to move once the house is sold, you will feel better about it.

  • Purge your home of items you don’t use and have been meaning to throw out/give away
  • Clear off the kitchen and bathroom counters (You can put necessary items into a box that can be kept out of site when you don’t need it).
  • Consider taking all the books from the bookshelves. If you don’t want to do this, at least make sure the books look neat and remove any books that seem too personal or that you think may offend someone.

Top Maryland real estate agent John Day teamed up with expert home stagers to create an informative video to help those of you who want to sell Maryland real estate:

Akshay Kumar bowls for England in 'Patiala House' Watch online Trailer mp3 songs and wallpaper

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 07:27 PM PST


Akshay Kumar plays a pace bowler who wants to play for English cricket team but faces stiff opposition from his father Rishi Kapoor in Patiala House.

Director Nikhil Advani has put behind him the debacle of Chandni Chowk To China and has taken a leap to Southall, London, in his latest film Patiala House. The movie stars Akshay as a talented bowler who gets a chance to play for the English team. But his father, a stiff-upper-lipped patriot, is too proud an Indian to let his son play for the Brits.

So, our hero is stuck in a dilemma. Should he stick to the humdrum existence of running the family shop in Southall or should he follow his dreams.

The movie also stars Anushka Sharma and Dimple Kapadia.

Catch the film's first trailer below:

Aishwarya Rai might sue Elle

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 06:56 PM PST


Aishwarya Rai seems to have taken a serious note of the public outcry over her preternaturally fairer image on the cover of Elle magazine.

The actress hasn't taken kindly the apparent doctoring of her image in which her skin has been made paler to give her a Caucasian appearance. And reports say that she might even consider suing the magazine if indeed it is proved beyond doubt that her skin was made fairer.

Lately, Ash has been occupied with her father's illness and hasn't been very forthcoming in her reaction towards the controversy.

But sources close to her are quoted as saying that she's shocked that leading magazines still resort to racist prejudice while pitching models and actresses on their covers.

Aamir Khan wanted to play an 18-year-old in 'Dhobi Ghat'

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 06:41 PM PST


At 45, Aamir Khan is still game for playing an 18-year-old. Well, such was the irresistible charm of the character that his wife Kiran Rao had penned in her directorial debut Dhobi Ghat.

When Aamir heard the script, he was so bowled over by it that he wanted to act in it. And he wanted to play the role of an 18-year-old dhobi. But the role eventually went to Prateik Babbar.

"When I heard all the characters, I really liked Prateik's character and wanted to do that. But the character requires someone who looks 18-19 years old. So to prove it to Kiran that I can look that young, I did 3 Idiots. But she still didn't agree. Thankfully she gave me some role in her film," Aamir said while promoting the film at Andheri.

The media persons were surely surprised to see Aamir at the do because earlier at the unveiling of the first look of the film, his wife Kiran Rao had said that she wants Aamir to stay away from the promotions so that limelight is not taken away from the movie.

"I was never meant to be away from the promotions of the film. I'm very proud of the film and I'm part of it, since I'm the producer and have also acted in it. Even Kiran can't keep me away from it," Aamir said.

Set to release on January 21, Dhobi Ghat also stars Monica Dogra, Kriti Malhotra, Kitu Gidwani and Nafisa Khan. It tells the story of four characters in downtown Mumbai. Though each comes from a different class of society, their lives are subtly intertwined.
