Microsoft's ads doing damage to Apple, one study claims

Normal, es USA... con la suficiente publicidad se consigue el que sol sea Verde o que Bush gane elecciones, este estudio es obvio y bastante tonto...
Sea como sea, yo estoy de acuerdo con la publicidad en que PC es más barato. No creo que el SO (Leoparddd, Snow Leopard, Tiger y gato encerrado) valga tanto la pena como para pagar el precio de un Apple. Esta sobrevalorado sin duda.

Microsoft's ads doing damage to Apple, one study claims

from AppleInsider

Even
as critics have attacked Microsoft for bending the truth in its
PCs-are-cheaper ad campaign, one firm's research shows that it might be
working and turning the public minds, though not necessarily wallets,
away from Apple.

Dell Y Android... una buena pareja

Android lo vamos a tener metido hasta en la sopa dentro de poco, lo que son buenas noticias por cierto! :D

Dell Does Video Demo Of Their Hacked Android Netbook

from Android Phone Fans by Rob Jackson

I don’t have to tell you about Android Netbooks. But what I would like to remind you of is a particular story about the upcoming Dell Android Netbook. Earlier this month, BSQUARE sent out a press release which they retracted soon after, claiming they had ported Flash Light to Dell Netbooks running Google Android. They jumped the gun (oops) and Dell responded with a simple “we do not make Android Netbooks”.

There stance seems to have changed a bit. As you can see in the below video, Dell Technology Strategist Doug Anson demonstrates Android running on a Dell Mini 10v netbook:

This isn’t a product offering… it is just Android hacked onto the Mini 10v - we should make that clear and Doug Anson certainly does:

I have to point out we don’t have any announced product plans with the Android Environment running on the Netbook but just wanted to show you that it is possible to port over and run and it actually runs fairly nicely.

Big props to Dell for addressing the rumors head on with an actual VIDEO illustrating what was suggested in the BSQUARE Press Release mishap. Seeing how willing they are to play with Android and demonstrate it, you would have to think something will come down the pike in the not TOO distant future, but we’d happily hold out until Google launched a full Android Office/Docs Suite for our netbook lovin selves.

Primer vídeo de Project Trico

Hay días en los que no madrugar hace que te pierdas el ser de los primeros en publicar maravillas así. Tengo la carne de gallina y todo. Si alguno ha disfrutado de las dos obras maestras anteriores de Team ICO, es fácil advertir que el motor gráfico es similar y la gente habla de que es un metraje antiguo del juego. Los escenarios parecen sacados de Shadow of the Colossus y bueno, nuestro acompañante chiquitito no es…
Además, el agujero en el que aparece encerrado al principio del vídeo parece una de las zonas comunes de SotC,
muy cerca del altar de piedra. Visión obligada y mordiéndonos las uñas eperando al E3, en el que se nos dará más información de la obra de Famito UEda.

Popout

Es verdad que impresiona... ojalá colme las expectativas que despierta el vídeo. Desde luego la física del bicho es muy impresionante y no creo que haya una consola que pueda hacerlo mejor que la PS3, en el cálculo de la física desde luego, no tiene parangón...
La noticia ha salido en todas partes, yo comparto la de mis amiguetes de Akihabara...

HTC Hero: Android UI Customized

HTC Hero: Android UI Customized By HTC

from Android Phone Fans by Rob Jackson

A few days ago we saw the pimped out Haykuro baked HTC Hero Build running on the G1
- I’m sure you remember that. Well now we have more… more HTC and less
Android. HTC has practically made a living by taking the lackluster
Windows Mobile OS and completely buttering it up and sexifying it with
their TouchFlo 3D User Interface. Looks like they plan to do the same
for Android:

Up to now we’ve seen the exact same UI across all models of Android
to date, but that won’t last long. Remember, Google is working with
carriers to help them customize their offerings and the latest example
of this is with the HTC Magic. In some Asian locations the HTC Magic is being sold with Microsoft Exchange support, with Google saying, “Android does not currently include support for Microsoft Exchange.”

True
that. But manufacturers and carriers are able to customize Android
however they want? Exactly. These versions of the HTC Magic with
Exchange support won’t come with any of those “with Google” slogans.
In that same manner, the HTC Hero could be a 100% unique TouchFlo 3D
experience that is based on Andriod but doesn’t include the “with
Google” slogan.

I’d be happy to “exchange” my “with Google” branded G1 for a UI like this… or at least give it a shot.

Si les fué bien, porqué no hacerlo ahora con su nuevo HTC?, he visto algún otro vídeo por ahí y la verdad que les ha quedado muy bien!
