Android Has Over 200,000 Apps In Android Market

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 11:09 AM PST


An unofficial app tracker for , Android Lib stats suggest that there are now over 200,000 apps in the Android Market. This brings the Android Market on par or at-least near to the number of apps carried by rival; Apple, in their app store.

Android

The latest stats on Android Lib show that there are now over 200K apps and games in the Android market. If this is true, this is definitely a phenomenal growth for the Android Market over the past two year. However, there are several people out there who doubt the viability of the apps in the Android market.

After I tweeted about the stats, several users began complaining that most of the apps are either bad or crash. However, the same can also be said about the apps in Apple’s app store. Majority of the apps in the app store are just there for numbers, most of them are practically useless. This trend though does not apply to a single app store and is common throughout every store out there.

Coming back more to the stats, the development of new apps for Android has definitely grown in the past year, with the past 3 months seeing almost 70,000 new apps and games being added to the market. Also, out of the 200K+ apps, 180K+ apps were added in 2010.

The app store milestone adds to the earlier milestone of over 300,000 Android devices being activated everyday. However, there is no official data out there to corroborate either of these milestones.

Take this information with a pinch of salt. These numbers may be inflated and we are trying to do our best to find out other sources to confirm this information.

Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.2 Update Imminent In The United States

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 09:10 AM PST


Samsung has been slowly rolling out the Android 2.2 Froyo update for its Galaxy S series all over the world including Canada and India. The update roll out has not been a smooth one and Samsung had to pull back its Android 2.2 update in many regions due to buggy firmwares.

However, Samsung has been totally ignoring the 3 million plus Galaxy S variants owners in the United States until now. The company has not even mentioned when they will be rolling out the update in the States.

Samsung_Galaxy_S_Froyo_US

However, now it looks like Sammy is all set to roll out the update for three of the Galaxy S variants – the Vibrant, Epic 4G and the Fascinate – in the States. Only the AT&T branded Galaxy S variant Captivate and the dual-screen Samsung Continuum are left out from this Froyo party.

The U.S product pages of all the three handsets mentioned before have been updated by Samsung to show that they are running on Android 2.2. The only thing left now for Samsung is to officially roll out the Android 2.2 update for the handsets. Hopefully, all the Galaxy S variants in the U.S will get their Froyo update by January 2011.

HTC Desire HD Android 2.2.1 Update Rolling Out Now

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 08:45 AM PST


HTC is rolling out a software update for the recently released Desire HD. Sadly; the OTA update is not an Android 2.3 Gingerbread update as many Desire HD owners are hoping for. The OTA software update bumps the Android version on the handset to 2.2.1 and brings with it performance improvements and bug fixes. The OTA update weighs in at 40MB and will up the software version on the HD to 1.72.405.3.

The update reportedly improves the general performance as well as the camera performance of the device. Apparently, the quality of the 720p HD recording has improved as well. HTC is also rolling out another software update for the HTC Desire which bumps the software version to 2.29.405.2. The software update brings the latest version of Android Market along with some speed improvements.

HTC still has not mentioned on when they will be rolling out the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for all its handsets. Hopefully, the company will release the Gingerbread handsets for most of its popular handsets before Q1 of 2011 ends.

Download Android 3.0 Honeycomb Music Player For Your Android Handset

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 11:59 PM PST


Andy Rubin had stated during the Google I/O event this year that the Android 3.0 update will completely change the UI of Android to make it look more beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Back then, he had also shown off the brand new Music Player which will be bundled with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). Now, XDA member johnie93 has somehow managed to get his hands on the APK file of the Honeycomb music player.

Readers can download the APK file from here. Transfer this APK file to your Android handset and install it to get the Honeycomb music player on your handset.

snap20101228_125530 snap20101228_125257

The Music Player worked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S running a custom ROM based on Android 2.2.1. The application also supports music streaming from the Gmail account linked to your Android handset (Google Music incoming?). The UI of the music app is pretty good as well but nothing stellar. The desktop widget is a bit bland for my taste with no album art support.

It also looks like the Music Player will support Wireless Sync. As of now, the feature does not work. Also, sometimes the app would get excessively slow while playing back music. The app also FC'ed (Force Close) a couple of times for the short span of time I used it.

Nevertheless, I am pretty sure that this is a beta version of the music player. Google still has a lot of time to improve and tweak the performance of the application and perhaps include an equalizer as well.

'World's best airport' finally gets rail link

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 10:46 PM PST


After a construction period spanning almost 10 years, an express train line linking South Korea's Incheon Airport to downtown Seoul has opened.

The express train takes 43 minutes to travel the 58-kilometer line connecting the center of Seoul with the airport.

A ticket costs 13,300 won (or U.S.$12) per passenger. Regular trains will take 10 minutes longer at 3,700 won (around U.S.$3).

The line began taking passengers on Wednesday with a total of 422 trains operating daily, Arirang TV reported.

Passengers will be able to check in luggage and get boarding passes at Seoul station.

Prior to the opening, the distance was served only by limousine buses, private cars and taxis with a journey time of roughly one hour.

Emma Watson Scandal Email Pictures and Videos

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 08:09 PM PST


Emma Watson's squeaky clean image is under threat.

Yesterday, nude photographs of someone who looks like the actress were released online - sparking debate as to whether the lady in the snaps was really the Harry Potter actress.

The pictures had thousands of web users convinced, but could they be the work of a Photoshop mischief maker?

It's not the first time Emma's been hit by nude photo allegations - some very convincing snaps, supposedly of the star without her clothes on, also hit the internet last year.

Yesterday's photographs have now been taken down, but were they really of Emma?

Emma's people say it's definitely not her, so we'll give her rep the final word. She told us: "These images are clearly fake and I am disappointed that anyone should take them seriously.

"This is not the first time that fraudsters have done this, there were some similar photographs doing the rounds last year. Clearly mischief making!"

New Year 2011 Eve party sms text message | MMs Wishes Wallpapers | Ecards greetings | Idieas and Plans

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 07:29 PM PST


For most adults, a New Year's Eve party seems pretty easy to plan. But if you've got a pack of young ones, then New Year's Eve party ideas for kids may be in order. Depending on how many kids you have and their ages, a kids New Year's Eve party can be a snap.
Targeting New Year's Eve party ideas for kids

The biggest challenge of New Year's Eve party ideas for kids is targeting age groups. Letting kids younger than 10 stay up until midnight could be very difficult, for example. The best kids New Year's Eve parties help the kids feel like they're celebrating a big change, and they're just a bit more "grown up." If you've got a mixed-age group of kids, try to have different activities for the kids that stay up later.
New Year's Eve party ideas for kids – the food

For kids parties, loading the kids up on sugar may be the first instinct. Some sugar should definitely be on the menu for your kids New Year's Eve party, but it should be tempered with something more nutritious, such as raisins or mixed nuts. Try mixing cranberry or apple juice with lemon-lime soda to serve in plastic champagne flutes. Breakfast for dinner is also a great option for New Year's Eve parties, and leftovers make the next morning that much easier.

Tuesday Night Football is TNF Or NFL ?

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 07:26 PM PST


I feel like the NFL might have fallen into something by pushing back the Vikings-Eagles game to tonight. It brings up the question of why the league does not play more Tuesday night games.

I know it gives the teams a short week coming up. The thing is the league already schedules Thursday games. A team playing on Thursday has three days of rest if it played on the previous Sunday. A team playing on Tuesday has four days of rest to the next Sunday.

I also think there is demand. People like football. That is why you can see small conference college football games regularly on ESPN during weeknights of the college football season. I don't think NFL fans would complain about another primetime game.

It would give the league another package of games to sell to a television network. The league could also just keep the games on NFL Network. Another slate of games would give the league more leverage in negotiating with cable and satellite providers on the network's behalf.

Adam Sandler Died Reports are still Unconfirmed

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 07:10 PM PST


HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Adam Sandler died rumors began to spread late Tuesday, but they have not been confirmed and appear to be a Web hoax.


Sandler, 44, has kept a low profile of late, having last appeared on the big screen in the comedy Grown Ups earlier this year. He also starred in just one film a year earlier, appearing in Funny People with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana and Jonah Hill.

Sandler's next film is a romantic comedy that co-stars Jennifer Aniston. The film, Just Go With It, revolves around a plastic surgeon romancing a much younger schoolteacher, who enlists his loyal assistant to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife in order to cover up a careless lie. When more lies backfire, the assistant's kids become involved, and everyone heads off for a weekend in Hawaii that will change all their lives.

Kalki Koechlin
Kalki Koechlin Biography

Kalki Koechlin is born to French parents. She is a girl from Bangalore who moved to Mumbai to try her luck in acting.

She has studied drama and theatre at London University and was dabbling in theatre along with modeling. She did a couple of advertisements before landing the unconventional character of Chanda in Dev. D.

Her parents came to India 38 years ago as hippies and remained here as they loved the country. Kalki admits that she is definitely Indian. The actress, fluent in French, doesnt feel French at all, since she stayed in South India right from her birth.

She is tagged as another foreign actress paving her way to Bollywood. Aware of her background, her linguistic shortcomings and her unconventional looks, Kalki knows that she can�t be the quintessential Bollywood heroine who prances around the trees, singing and romancing the hero.

Kalki got her calling in parallel cinema and feels lucky to have worked with Anurag Kashyap in her first movie. The two even fell in love while shooting this film.

She is confident about her acting skills and is hopeful to get some meaningful and interesting roles in Bollywood.

Katrina Kaif 'Satsang' Will be the Most Difficult Task

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 06:31 PM PST


She may have been reduced to more of an eye candy in Tees Maar Khan, but Katrina Kaif is now set for what she calls the most challenging role of her career.

And that role is of a western woman seeking nirvana in India. It's the central character in director Prakash Jha's next film after Aarakshan, titled Satsang.

The film will be an exposé of the multi-billion dollar religious and spiritual industry in India that offers crash courses in quick salvation or long hauls of spiritual rejuvenation. With all the scams and shocking revelations about fake gurus and charlatans being exposed behind ochre robes, the film is all the more apt to come out sooner than later.

Katrina's character is pivotal to the plot and will be seen without any make-up. Reportedly, Katrina and Jha have discussed the role in detail and Jha has agreed to rope her in.

"It would be the most challenging part of my career so far," Katrina is quoted as saying about her role in Satsang.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Movie Online Sneak Peek

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 06:27 PM PST


Zoya Akhtar's film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is one of the most awaited films of 2011.

Here's a sneak peek at the movie starring Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar and Kalki Koechlin. The film was shot in Spain.

Salman is pulling my leg or Serious : Katrina Kaif Knows it

Posted: 28 Dec 2010 06:21 PM PST


Katrina Kaif says she knows Salman Khan well enough to figure out when he's joking and when he's serious.

Katrina Kaif was in a fix when Salman Khan asked her on Bigg Boss 4 who her favourite co-star is, Akshay Kumar or him (Salman). Though reports suggested that Katrina was put off Salman's questions, the lady says she knew that Sallu was asking such things in good humour.

"Salman and I have known each other for a while now and I know when he is pulling my leg and when he is serious about things. On the sets of Bigg Boss 4, this was all done in good humour," Katrina is quoted as saying in a Live India interview.

When pointed out that Akshay is seen as her better co-star than Salman, Katrina said: "To be honest me and Salman haven't done a fair movie together. Whereas me and Akshay have done seven movies together now. So keeping that in mind it is only fair that Akshay gets the better co-star's title," she said.

Talking about exposing her mid-riff for the first time in the song Sheila Ki Jawani, Katrina said: "Yes that is true and trust me while shooting for it I was supremely nervous. I had told Farah whether we can use a dupatta. But she told me to give it a shot and if I am still not comfortable then I can use the dupatta. It turned out pretty well. So much so that my brother who is not at all interested in movies welcomed me at the London airport singing Sheila Ki Jawani."

The country wide hysteria following the release of his first film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000) is known as hrithikmania and is unprecedented.

The look of his muscular, chiselled body started a fitness boom in India.

Eye color: Green

Often supports charities of various kinds.

Known as a perfectionist and control freak. Believes in extensive rehearsals and preparations.

Friend of Salman Khan who showed him how to work out and eat properly to put on muscle.

Hindi megastar.

Often visits terminally ill children in hospitals that desperately wish to meet him.

Role models as actor: Raj Kapoor and Sanjeev Kumar.

Wanted to quit the film business altogether after his father Rakesh Roshan was shot at and wounded by hitmen sent by the Bollywood mafia, but changed his mind.

Prepared himself extensively for his screen debut, taking acting, singing, dancing, fencing, riding etc. lessons for years. He also worked hard on his diction and physical appearance (strenuous workout routines).

Fought hard to overcome a stammering problem.

Worked for many years on the sets of his father Rakesh Roshan in various functions, including sweeping the floor and serving tea to the stars, to learn the business from scratch.

Believes in the good in every person, a character trait often misinterpreted by others as gullibility and/or na�vety.

Got 30000 (!) marriage proposals on Valentine's day 2000.

Was the victim of a defamation campaign in late december 2000. Rumors were spread that he stated in an interview that he hates Nepal and its people. This immediately led to riots in Nepal, cinemas showing his films were attacked, posters burnt, Hindi movies banned in general for some days and several people shot dead by the police. The events made headlines all over the world and the governments of Indian and Nepal got involved as well. Anti Indian/Hrithik sentiment died down quickly when it became clear that the alleged statements were a fabrication and the rumors were spread by a malicious third party, possibly the Bollywood mafia, still pissed about not getting the foreign rights to Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). Nepal born actress Manisha Koirala played an important role in getting the news to the people in Nepal that the accusations were false.

In January 2001 Hrithik Roshan was again involved in a controversy. This time about a poster created and used by the Democratic Alliance in South Africa in November 2000 to woo Indian voters. The poster used his face without permission. The ANC reacted angrily and threatened to ban his films.

Gets 20-30 million rupees per year for endorsing a brand for one year, including commercials [2001]

His total income from product endorsements in 2000 is estimated to be 20 crore Rupees (~5 million $), by far the most among Bollywood stars.

Was awarded the "National Citizen's Award" on August 25 2001 in Delhi. The award recognises excellence in various activities affecting national life.

Son-in-law of Sanjay Khan.

Has been called the first complete Bollywood actor who has no weakness and scores very high in every department: face, physique, voice, dancing, drama, romance, action, comedy, macho, softie...

Can't handle money. His wife and parents are taking care of the financial details.

On January 14 2000 Hrithik Roshan entered a cinema to attend the premiere of his first film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). When he came in some people recognised him but not much happened. When the film was over there was a stampede and mass hysteria broke out. He got mobbed. The police had to come and escort him out of the cinema and away from a crowd of thousands. It was the first day of Hrithikmania in India, which held the country in its grip for many months to come.

Learnt Urdu to sound more eloquent in his films, this can be seen by the special reference to his ability with the language in the film Kaho Na Pyaar Hai

Came in on number 9 on a Bollywood power list released in December 2003, and on number 4 among actors (behind Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai).

Looking forward into 2011

Those who have been disappointed with Bollywood films in 2010 won't have much to complain about in 2011. From Shahrukh Khan and Katrina Kaif to Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra, it's going to be a year of reckoning for many.

The most awaited film of 2011 is easily Shahrukh Khan's dream project Ra.One that sees the jaunty Khan step into the shoes of a superhero. Salman, who had a superb 2010 with the super success of Dabangg, will return to the big screen with Ready. Aamir Khan will have a release after more than a year with wife Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghat in January.

Khans apart, it's going to be a crucial year for Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar. Ranbir Kapoor is already touching new heights of stardom and Rockstar will have him playing a singer, guitarist.

Among ladies, Katrina Kaif is looking to an eventful year, so is Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor.
