BOOTDROID Dual Boot Android OS and Apple IOS 4 on Android

BOOTDROID

Dual Boot Android OS and Apple IOS 4 on Android devices including Samsung Galaxy S 2


A project titled Bootdroid is under weigh ( Google Project Hosting ) which enables android users to dual boot both IOS and android on their devices . The project is now on development phase and not in a official stable state . An official version has not been released yet , but you can enjoy an unstable version of the project for open source and code improvement purposes . A big news for those who missed simple IOS on android devices . The developer of the project is the owner of such apps like Blackberry Connect , Desire Freedom and Wiblaze

The app description from the project home

What is BootDroid?
BootDroid is a project which enables android phones to dual-boot both Android OS & iOS 4. Please note that this project is still under development and is currently
not in an official stable state. It is suggested that you do not install BootDroid until an official version has been released. Until then, the download will be available for
the unstable version of the project for open source & code improvement purposes of beta testers & other developers.
Why is This Beneficial?
There are many reasons that this project is beneficial to some. Some users switch from Apple devices to Android devices and miss the old layout that the iOS
offers. While others may like the simplicity that the Android OS doesn't offer. Some other positive reasons are listed below..
Battery: The Android OS is known for killing battery with all of its background data being shared with many different applications, as well as high quality
animations running all the time. iOS doesn't have as much going in the background, and is known for keeping a very long lasting battery (note: when booting with
ios on android devices, a lot of battery is conserved because of the operating system's, simplicity.)
Apple-Unique Apps: Apple devices running iOS have very unique applications which help make Apple devices as popular as they are today. Apps such as
FaceTime, iMovie, AppStore, iTunes Store, ect. can now be enabled to work on Android devices with this project.
Easy iTunes Sync: The one thing that Android failed to to enable is easy synchronization with computers (especially Mac). When this project is enabled on your
Android device, you can easily sync with iTunes as if it were an Apple Device.
Dual Booting: Once booted on an operating system, it is very easy to boot to the other. All you have to do is power down the device, and boot it up again to
select which operating system to boot from.
Jailbreak Freedom: In order to get iOS working on Android devices, the firmware ported & installed onto the phone must be jailbroken. So yes, you are
booting a jailbroken iOS firmware. Cydia and all 3rd party applications will work perfectly fine (SSH is also working).
Extra Information
Screen Sizes Because most Android phones come in many different screen sizes, it would be amazingly difficult to resize the iPhone screen to make it larger or
smaller then it needs to be. So instead, the Android devices will be booting to an optimized iPad 2 firmware. The iPad 2 Firmware makes it easy to resize the screen
to the correct sizes. Since most Android devices have fairly good quality of images & colours, similar to retina-quality, quality should come out, if not better then
displayed on Apple devices. This means that the dual boot works on tablets, but no extra support toward tablets have been added yet.
What Devices Work Best with BootDroid?
BootDroid works with most Android devices, but some devices work better then others.
HTC Desire HD: With the latest, fastest processor and large screen with great graphics, iOS runs flawlessly on this phone.
Samsung Galaxy S & S2: Both have fast processors & fairly good screen sizes, runs just as well as the iOS would on an iPhone.
Motorola Droid: Fairly good processor & screen size, iOS works with this very well.
Nexus S: Again, works fairly well with iOS because of fast processor and good screen size.
Again, BootDroid works with most Android devices, but works best with these devices above.

Most Google websites dont do well in Opera Mini. What Opera Mini can do and cannot do

Its frustrating and nearly exhausting. I have tried for years the "Google Adwords Keyword Tool" with Opera mini with futile results. The heavy JavaScript site doesnt do a d*** thing with Opera mini and adamantly reluctant to at least show what the website is all about. The now defunct Bolt browser was an exception. It neatly obeyed its master and rendered the mighty JavaScript and few new advanced elements. Now the browser is gone and we have to however cope with the browser that has won million's hearts for nothing. Actually, I cannot over exaggerate the thing, Opera does nearly well with all the web standards we throw at it. But not delivering the Big G's stuff nowadays is not a good sign since they are used by the most millions all around the world on a daily basis. Here is the list of Google products that Opera Mini doesnt do well with

1. Google's Adwords Keyword Tool

2. Blogger's new interface

3. Google Groups new user interface

4. Google Mobile's Image tab

5. Adsense new interface: it works fine but you cannot generate a new ad code unit and copy it. Its totally stubborn. The Adsense code is unalterable. But Opera goes beyond what its supposed to be delivering

Off Niche!, Hostgator and X10hosting compared. How the backingup and and restoration is done

How did this all start? I will narrate the story in indepth details. I had a vital issue to settle down with Hostgator and X10hosting regarding backups and restorations. So, Yesterday I directly emailed Hostgator and contacted X10 through their ticket system (is there any live chat facility? Oops I forgot that)


My query to the Hostgator

Date: May 22

what if a site get hacked? How is the restoration process is done?

Do you restore the site with a back up on your own (by your technical staff for free) or you leave the user with a back up leaving him to do the restoration on his own?

Do you charge to provide back ups?

Hostgator's support systems reply

Date: May 22

Hello,

If you have a backup that you have created yourself, we will restore from that free of charge, however there is a $15 charge to restore from one of our backups. Our administrators will be more than happy to help you restore from one of your own backups free of charge or from one of ours for $15 if the need should ever arise.

My second query

May 22

Websites are constantly hacked. For how many times you provide the free restoration services through customers backups?

Hostgator's response

May 22

Hello,

You might be surprised how in- frequently sites hosted here get hacked. When it happens, it is nearly always because of an outdated WordPress or Joomla installation or the like. In general, we always charge $15 to restore from our backup server, while restoring from a backup you create yourself would be free. This is not absolutely set in stone, however, and we do take extenuating circumstances into account when making a decision.

My third query

6:48 am

1. If we provide a backup that we have created on our own, does your staff do the restoration for free?

2. For how many times a customer get this grace? Two times a week, thrice a moth, 10 times a year?

3. 15$ for both backup and the restoration, or only for the backup?

4. Each time you charge 15$ to provide a backup and for few occations you provide free restoration and then onwards charge for the restoration too?

5. Every time a website get hacked, the only thing the customer has to do is pay 15 bucks and the restoration is done?

6 Is this applicable to every package, including hatchling (5$ a month single domain * 12)?

be specific. I dont need a romantic novel to read here

Their swift response


7:01 am

Hello,

I'll try to answer all your questions.

1. Yes, if you provide the backup we will generally do the restore for free so long as it is a cPanel backup or zipped contents of your files with sql import.

2. Generally there is no limit but if abuse is suspect this may change.

3. We maintain a weekly backup so long as the account is under 10GB and under 100k inodes, backups are done automatically, you as the customer pay for the restoration. In extenuating circumstance we will waive the restore fee.
4. See #3

5. In most cases yes, but sometimes the backup we have may be too recent and include the bad changes. this is why we always suggest the customer keep their own backups.

6. We keep weekly backups on account packages ranging from the Hatchling to VPS's

On the other hand, at the same intervals, I contacted X10hosting. Contrary to the X10hostings slow motions, Hostgators average response time was impressive

Here how that story went


2012-05-22 08:41

what if a site get hacked? How is the restoration process is done? Do you restore the site with a back up on your own (by your technical staff for free) or you leave the user with a back up leaving him to do the restoration on his own? do you charge to provide back ups?

2012-05-22 04:06

Do I get a response to this ticket?

2012-05-23 05:25

hello somebody out there

Eric B - ACO, x10Hosting Staff
2012-05-23 07:00


Repeatedly bumping the ticket actually causes this ticket to get sent to the back of the queue as it has the most recent activity; whenever possible, please avoid bumping tickets for this reason.

On premium, we utilize the R1Soft backup system; you should be able either to restore the backups yourself, or if you'd prefer you could open a ticket under premium support and staff could restore it as well. Generally speaking, I still recommend making your own backups through the backup icon in cPanel (the icon isn't on Free hosting due to the resources it uses, but on premium where there's less users it isn't a problem), just so you would have a local copy as the R1Soft system doesn't actually make the backup and send it to you. Backups are free, as is restoring from them; the only drawback to potentially being hacked in this situation is waiting for the backup itself to finish restoring, as larger sites can take a bit to restore all their files (the bigger the site, the more files/larger files there are).

The whole the concept is 'inspired by nature', Samsung claims. Wanna proof? touch the lock screen and you'll see a little water ripple and a little water drop sound can be heard too. Natural isnt it?

All plastic. Feels cheap

Lightweight

It has an HD screen. But there are few other options at the market at the moment too, like Nexus, Note and One X

309ppi pixel density

Good contrast ratio

Large display

Excellent colour reproduction

Colours balanced. The thing doesnt seem so saturated or harsh like previous Super AMOLEDs

Bulky for small hands. Not for your dirty reckless sister

A more interactive lock screen

Touchwiz re-touched

The dock at the bottom of the display now houses five favourite items including the app menu

S voice needs training to be sharp tuned

Notification light

The video player supports almost every codec

Pop Up Play. You can watch a video with it while doing some other tasks by pressing icons at the corner of the video. A video playing Multi tasker

The music player as it is in the predecessor, UI not enhanced

AllShare Cast

Available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB internal memory versions. Upto 64GB supported through microSD card. 50GB out of Dropbox and SugarSync also present, a Memorysaur!

A larger than before display. Typing served well

Three photos manually per second

20 photos in a row (at six per second) in burst mode

HDR, panorama, Smile Shot, Beauty Mode and few others present

"PlayMovies" from Google present

Music Hub

Gamer Hub

S Beam allows you to send content between phones over NFC at 300Mbps

Only Samsung I9300 handsets are capable of handling S Beam

S Beam-enabled smartphones are sparse on the market

2100mAh battery

LTE, HSPA+, Wi-Fi, a GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, all inclusive

Samsung's own quad-core Exynos processor, though each core clocked at 1.4GHz, isnt as power efficient as other chips, such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4

The polycarbonate smartphone chassis material, the standard nowadays, isnt what you get with this

Samsung Galaxy S3 is no exception!. None of the Android devices natively Sync with Outlook's PST file. The only two software bundles which have succeeded in doing so, and correctly, are Microsoft's ActiveSync and the Blackberry Desktop so far

Zero shutter lag

Backside illuminated sensor

Its TouchWiz, updates wont roll in so fast

Video-calls

Non-PenTile screen, heart broken?

The subpixel density is still on par with what you got from the S II

A whole new sensor for the camera

Build up from glossy plastic, Samsung Hyperglaze coating doesnt improve the feel and the handling of the device. Finger prints not curbed well

The design is far from perfect

The display settings menu offers four different modes to choose from. Namely, Livelier dynamic, Standard, Natural and Movie. What a flexibility!. Does your ******* offer that?

Sunlight legibility is a splendour. However HD Super AMOLED isn't the brightest display around. You get a meager reflectivity which is surprisingly manageable

Wide viewing angles (Colors are lost when one reaches the extreme angles though)

Icons and text are perfectly clear, when one reaches the extreme angles though colors get a bit distortion

Ambient light Sensor

No dedicated camera key again

microUSB port can be used for both, data connections and charging.

USB host

MHL, HD TV-out connectivity

Have to purchase an adapter to use HD TV-out connectivity

You can enable a news ticker at the bottom of the lockscreen

The homescreen and the app drawer host only four icons on a row

The app drawer houses upto five icon rows

Some widgets are resizable

Can pinch to zoom out and easily manage, add, delete or rearrange homescreen panes

Can't have more than seven homescreen panes. Isnt it enough?

The performance of the camera is improved

An F/2.6 aperture unlike what we saw in the S2, F/2.65 and a focal length of 3.7 mm against the 3.97 mm of the Galaxy S II. This means bit wider viewing angles and more from your photos

Noise is well controlled

Higher resolution inclines towards a more unearthly color saturation and the "Result?", images may seem unrealistic

Q: What did the big candle said to the small candle on its birthday?
A: Your too young to go out!

Phone's backlit displays usually go out according to the time you set it to be that way. With Smart Stay, light remains as long as your eyes are glued to the screen. Next time you do something the display wont dim or cut it out in the middle of the _______

When you're fiddling with contacts, reading or writing a message to a contact, and suddenly decide calling is the better option than mere texting, do a "Direct call". Just take the phone close to your ear at the very instance and your done

New cool gesture controls,

(A) Shake it! It will detect nearby Bluetooth devices, update emails, news or weather apps.

(B) Double-tap on the top of the device, you will be taken to the top of a scrollable list.

(C) Turn the phone over! It mutes calls, kill media and radio playback

(D) A hand sweep across the screen will capture Screenshots

(E) Hold the palm against the screen, it will pause the media playback. Yikes!, it will plast a big ugly palm print on the screen though

(F) Hold finger against the display and rotate the phone to landscape mode. The camera is accessed from the lock screen

At times the responsiveness of the S voice is bit laggy

Can grab 720p videos using the front-facing cam

S Voice - the voice commando of the Galaxy S3 and the arch nemesis of the Siri. You can voice command it to accept or reject calls, take pictures, set alarms and search the big G etc

Pop up play is a thing to consider. It plays videos in separate windows, which is draggable around and resizable. While sinking the Titanic, it will text or surf too

An innovative eye-tracking method, "Smart Stay". It will track your eyes when looking at the display, and dim it when you're not

When you have missed calls and messages, the "Smart alert" will notify it, vibrating exactly when you pick it up without knowing what was going on while you were fishing away from the phone

The average bitrate of the 720p videos that you take with the front cam is 12Mpbs and even they are accompanied with stereo sound too

Images even taken in the burst mode, are of full 8 MP resolution

S Beam allows you to share all sorts of media via NFC. But it actually uses WiFi to transfer data swiftly

Take near full- resolution pictures (these are cropped to an aspect ratio of 16:9)

The S voice is reluctant of too much detailed or lengthy demands

The Pop up player is brisk enough to handle both videos in a seperate window and other tasks at the other hand

With S Beam you can even transfer webpages and contacts

S Beam provides only the stock "Android Beam" functionality

Truth speaking, S III's actual capturing capabilities are capped at a maximum of 20 consecutive shots. Its said to be capable of capturing full resolution shots at 3.3fps for much longer than what it delivers now

HD video recording delivered without any delay

During video recording you can also shoot full- res 16:9 snaps

The Buddy photo feature automatically recognises people from your contact profiles and enables the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III to tag pictures accordingly

Easier to hold and less likely to slip even when your taking snaps

Heavier than the S2

The Smart Stay will drain your battery life

The S voice even works when music is playing

The S voice wont answer you back

Pop up player's seperate video window is very tiny

The Pop Up Player is the best bet for video conferencing while doing some essential tiny tasks

An optical zoom is absent

You wont notice even a slight lag when switching between home screens and launching apps

You can pre-configure photos to be automatically sorted out and placed in ideal groups based on such criteria as faces, contacts or location

All Share PLay, wireless transfer to all other connected devices

The camea app will deliberately choose the best shot from a bunch of photos taken with the Burst Mode, analysing smile detection, blink detection, contrast and blurring

Face Zoom, tap on a face when shooting a crowd shot and the camera will zoom in automaticlly.

The Social Tag instinctly figure out faces from any pics and automatically offer to text the image to the people featured in the image. But be careful, it wont fix Moods

'Buddy Photo Share', displays social media profiles directly on a photograph when those faces are recognised

Flipboard

No black version

Outdated design

Wireless charging

Allshare Cast which lets you put whatever is on your screen on a larger display like a TV

The Best Shot mode only takes eight photos to choose the best one from

The Galaxy S III shows the best 3D performance by an Android

Future-proof

S-Beam doesn't require any setup like Bluetooth

The device is already rooted. Custom ROMs will overflow

The HTC One X is sugar coated in polycarbonate unibody, screen is brighter, has a non-PenTile LCD and comes as a dual-core Krait processor version as well as a 4G LTE one for AT&T

Smart Stay, Direct call, S Beam, Burst shot and S Voice have already set trends

The HTC One S has a metalic unibody

The QWERTY keyboard offers very handy keys that are big enough to strike with fury when your cheated

In landscape mode, the keyboard fills up a huge chunk of the display. Compromised!

The incoming calls can be assigned a specific vibration pattern from available onces or custom made onces

Chapter preview enables user of previewing chapters in videos with lively playing thumbnails

All eight video thumbnails in the video player will be playing at the moment your staring at them dumbfounded

When Buddy Share fails, you can manually highlight faces and guide it to do the job

SoundAlive audio- enhancing also resides in the video player

Video player supports .WMV, .AVI, DivX, XviD, .MP4 .MKV

Can record radio broadcasts

The Radio app lets you save 8 stations as favorites

In the Radio mode, you cannot turn on the loudspeaker without the headset hitched. It works as the antenna. You know what it means?, its Mono

Smart Dial Voice dialing is powered by S Voice

My files file manager reads the memory card and the internal storage but doesnt favour the system drive

Volume levels, when hooked to an external amplifier are not that good

The music player is accompanied by the sound-enhancing SoundAlive techo, which houses the 7.1 channel virtualization

High Resolution, FullHD files, how large or small they are, Galaxy S3 plays them all

HDR mode for high-contrast scenes

When the Social tag identify a face in a photo, their social status can be seen on screen. You can call or message the person in person too

Photos are bit greeny

Finds the right white balance even indoors under artificial light circumstances

The split view in the message department and the email app, allocates the left side of the screen to a list of emails and messages and the right side to the corresponding message. But still reading from a half of the screen is still a mess

Equalizer presets and a custom one

Both video player and music player feature DLNA. You can play tracks on your own player and tracks reside on nearby devices through WiFi

There is a limit to resizing of widgets. Most widgets are pre defined a minimum and a maximum resizable size

The bitrate of recorded HD videos is about 17-18Mbps. There will be no traces of compression

Swipes in the phonebook; right swipe for quick dialing or simply left swipe for messaging

Click the home key twice, the voice control will be in action

Volume rocker

Stereo crosstalk will be having business in when you plug in a pair of headphones. But a remarkable overall performance

Live Wallpapers; The News wall brings a slideshow of headlines, Stock wall does the stock quotes while Photo wall will fetch photos from the Gallery

A smart search option in messages area. It finds the saucy message that your ______ just sent you, if you do the search with the right or exact keywords that your wife may use. It wont get lost in the wild forest of other messages and get caught by wrong hands, audience or draw unhealthy attention

A big tap to compose box.

Either S Voice or Google's native voice recognition app can be used for texting instead of typing

Music square; the new mood fixer

The camera uses the same field of view either you're recording 1080p or 720p videos

The video subtitle files are well catered. Each time you play a subtitled video you dont have to name the relevant subtitle file so that it bear the same name as the video file. It shows a list of subtitle files that available and let you pick the right one

With the Menu key, you can conduct a Google search. But it needs a long press

Hold the Home key down for a while, the task switcher will pop up

The app drawer features a tab that lets you drop widgets to the homescreen with an ease

The zoomed-out view in the app drawer enables the user rearrange pages easily

A "Remove all" button in the Task Manager

A second clock on the lockscreen, will show off while roaming

You can hide apps

S Voice is capable of understanding English, French, Spanish, Korean, Italian and German dishes. But better dont go too far. Its still premature

When adding recipients to messages, as soon as you type names or numbers, a list of matching contacts names or numbers are displayed

Tap on a contact, all the available details are displayed

The second tab in the Phonebook shows the accumulated social data of contacts including updates etc

S Voice does the work of a calculator too

The S voice can be activated by voice. Just try "Hi Galaxy" or "Hi Buddy" (it supports custom made onces too, but put your stinky custom tailored trousers away from it)

The S voice can solely depend on voice commands from the very activating. But it severely drains the battery

You can S voice and drive but dont drink meanwhile

S Voice does search the net, make calls, send texts, do notification area toggles, control the music player, look up weather and traffic , set timers and alarms, snooze them, launch apps, take pictures (just say "Cheese!" when your in the cam app), update social status and look up facts

While dictating S voice to write things down, dont overload it with all the fancy command stuff in your head. It will crash on your palm

The speech to text transcription doesnt come close to Siri

The fact machine; the Wolfram Alpha which empowers Siri's answers, is in charge of handling S voice's factology. In case your curious, it only pulls out the relevant databits out of Alpha and will show you more details only if you have the necessity to have a look at more. It totally differs from Siri which pulls all the information once

With the built in Gmail app you can archive, label and delete emails in batch. In inbox, swiping left or right makes it easy to move between messages

Can do voice commands right on the lockscreen

The video player has three crop modes. Tune in until one fits your taste and the screen most

Full fledged PowerPoint presentations are served (and editable too)

Task switcher provides a screen shot for each running app

No dedicated search button

To kill an app in the Task Switcher, all you have to do is swipe the app left or right

Can view newly downloaded apps seperate in App Drawer

From now on, your editing on a 4.8-inches large HD Super AMOLED display. It will be easier than with any other tiny display to do that

Vector maps are lighter. Wont eat much data

Kies Air; it connects to Wi-Fi or will create a Wi-Fi hotspot if necessary and hand over you an URL generously. Type it in the address bar of your PC web browser and then onwards, you can manage contacts, messages, compose messages, view images, videos, brows files from your very desktop browser

In the app drawer, you can rearrange icons or list them alphabetically

No one click access to the task switcher, have to press and hold the home button

The Google Play Store is easy to navigate than ever before with easy to scrollable tabs and categories like featured, top paid, top free, top grossing, top new paid, top new free and trending etc

Some of the Apps in the Google Play Store has demo videos too

You can also figure out how dominant or capable of apps are by checking out comments, ratings and the number of downloads in the Store

World's most searched for, most popular mobile phones online now

Who rules the world of mobiles as a brand? Samsung? Nokia? Apple or Blackberry ?

Was Nokia's Lumia series a success?

Can Samsung surpass Nokia's market lead this year?

Will Blackberry derail again or will their glory be back in track again this year?

Can Sony do without its subordinate clause?

Will Google save the sinking ship that is about to produce flagship phones, Motorala?

Here is a more convincing answer for them all. I compiled a list of most sought after, most searched for mobile phones online at the moment with the steady data from gsmarena.com's daily interest rate. Gsmarena.com is a highly ranked and highly participated mobile phone niche site in the world. So the data which this table is based on is apparantly stable and flawless. Though its unclear how they measure the daily interest rate, its interesting how most phones that have been the talk of the tawn or office have done well in the list

Is Android the widely used Operating System after Windows?


I keep a constant eye on my blog stats everyday. If the endless pies and charts that are provided as stats by Google are precise, the stats tend to prove that, Android as a Operating System, has gained a significant popularity during the past years. A considerable number of hits to the blog is from the Andy among the other mobile operating systems.

People from all around the world flock into my poor blog every day (though small in number) as a result of conducting searches mostly for rudimentary mobile phone keywords. They concise the likes of States, UK and India. So I have also included the demographics in case. Here are the dazzling charts and pies

Bolt browser wont wake up!, Bolt is not brave enough to go forward





Bolt, the downloadable third party mobile browser that empowerd the millions of owners of entry level Java phones with a PC like web page rendering and a video streaming capabilities, officially demised few months ago. But most believed that the browser will wake up from the ashes. Now months have passed and its crystal clear that it wont arise and make bolt moves again

Bolt debuted as a private beta on January 15 2009 and released to the mass on february 16 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It was one of the earliest mobile browsers to adapt a server side web page rendering service and was based on Webkit rendering engine to give the user a PC like surfing experience. The browser was highly acclaimed for its full webpage displaying. The browser was best known for its SMART Javascript rendering and patented Splitview mechanism at its peak.

The browser in the following years boltly moved on to display full screen mode where some other browsers like UCWeb still struggle to deliver. Even its Javascript performance was remarkably in order which even Opera denyies to output. Through the years followed the browser saw a stable string of developments. From the earliest version number 0.86 the software rapidly jumped to the stable version of 2.52 withing a short period of time and gained many competitive features like streaming video capabilities, support for Javascript and AJAX, direct edit on text boxes, download manager, lengthy video streaming, cloud server infrastructure back up, syndication of favourites through Bolt Space and unprecedented web widgets.

Time to say good bye to a bolt venture

Few of the best Java games and apps I have ever played

Here is a list of few of the finest java games and apps I have ever played. Java isnt dead, at least it haunts in the big heads of Google these days. I have listed only the the best though its small in number. It may avert you from downloading a bunch of games and crappy apps or Krabby Patties. Most of the games and apps are multi screen


1. Opera mini - yes I know, you already knew it. No argue, Opera takes the first place. m.opera.com, the official website says my old sony ericsson w200 doesnt meet the repuirements to run opera 6.5 which pisses me off and changed my mind from installing Opera Next to my old rugged hoarse, Sony ericsson w200i

2. UC WEB - another mobile browser. Mobile screen rendering is great. In some instances, where Opera becomes non corpoporative, UCweb delivers

3. Bolt by Bitstream - a mobile browser with a PC like website look and one of my favourite mobile browsers. Here, die hard Opera fans should get one thing clear of their chests, Opera doesnt support Javascript which Bolt was partially compatible with. It's untimely demise was a shock to me

4. Java mobile back up app- you may lost your phone but not your contacts if you have installed this app and uploaded your contacts to app's server. To download go to mobilebackup.com

5. GMAIL app by GOOGLE - a simple but usefull app. Only flaw is hyperlinks you get in emails are opened in default browser of the phone

6. GOOGLE MOBILE MAP APP - the most exciting java app of all, now with 3D street view. This is the app I recommend to use when your bored (except when your lost). Use street view and go to Newyork, London, Tokyo sitting at home. It will be a sweet memory

7. Mobichess - playing chess online on your phone? Yes, with mobichess its possible. Trust me, I get defeated everyday. There are so many mobile chess games that promise that (no, not beating me to the pants, online gaming), but reality is far beyond. Only mobichess can handle it (but the service is dead now I guess)

8. Chessbuddy - mobichess is for playing online. To play single player offline, the best of the best is CHESSBUDDY. TRY TO BEAT IT, if you can. It must be the most advanced java game one can play on a mobile

9. Snaptu - inbuild Picasa photo browser, holywood box office, Facebook, Twitter, sudoku, RSS feeds, news channels, crick info, what else? Snaptu has (had) them all. Snaptu, as a browser doesnt come close to even UCweb's low memory version. But its elegant homepage and UI make it a downloadworthy one. Now the app is swallowed by the big bad wolf, Facebook and rendered nearly useless

10. VRADIO - virtual radio lets listen to online radio stations. Data charges apply.

11. DEEP by FISHLABS - one of the best games I have ever played in my life. May be the best. You will be amazed at how much can be done with J2ME

12. V-RALLY 3D by IFONE.COM - I have played thousands of 3D car racing games with phones. But Vrally was diffent. Its the worlds only java car racing game that has the best, most realistic and most smooth drive. 3D graphics are relatively good

13. ASPALT3 3D STREET RULES - for the most comprehensive 3D racing game experiance you need aspalt3 3D STREET RULES. 3D graphics are relatively at its best

14. 20Q MIND READER by DIGITAL CHOCALATE inc - think about anything, it can guess what it is. Asking 20 questions and few more if necesarry, it will read your mind. 20Q was the most addictive game I ever played apart from the pleasure I had with it

15. THE WITCHER CRIMSON TRAIL by BREAK POINT - You run, you jump, you run and again jump. You hit a thug inbetween - a barrier actually. So go the things with most adventure java games. THE WITCHER isn't different from the above criteria. But its the best java fantacy game you can play on a mobile

16. TIME CRISIS - a nicely moving action, shooting and a battling game. The PC like 3D rendering prompts you not to put the phone back

So end of the journey. There are few more that deserve mentions in the list, but I am bit lazy to add them. Enjoy your gaming!

By the end of May the Windows Phone platform will have over 100,000 apps in total

If you have a lot of videos or a ton of songs you are going to need to compress them to fit on the 16GB of storage

Zune PC software compresses files on the device itsefl

With Zune you can impose the exact bitrate you want it to make of all your songs

Not all games have been updated yet to support fast app switching (hold down the back arrow to bring up the task switcher), this is changing over time though as each developer updates their games. All new games seem to support the fast app switching as well

The phone features voice recognition for speech-to-text and a few phone commands such as "text this person" or "listen to music etc

Syncing with Zune is easy, but you may have some problems with DRM on old CD's which you have ripped years ago.

Cannot choose which options you'd like to sort your lists by with Zune; instead its only "Albums", "Artists", "Title", etc

The phone is great for business and work-related items especially having a condensed version of MS Office which includes Word and Excel as well as a PowerPoint viewer

Buy a rubberized case for it and a screen cover. Fingerprints show up easily and the case is a little slippery if you don't have a full-handed grip on it
