On November 8, 2008 By Adam Z. Lein In Pocketnow, Software

I bet you didn’t think you’d see holographic 3D imaging on a smartphone so soon. Well, Pauloke of XDA-Developers has written a little proof-of-concept application for the Touch Diamond. It uses the accelerometer in the Touch Diamond to alter the angle of view of some 3D graphics in order to make them appear three dimensional. As you tilt the device and look from different angles, it seems like you’re looking at spherical objects floating in …

How to get Android to Show Album Art

On November 3, 2008 By Adam Z. Lein In Pocketnow, Tweaks & Hacks

Since the T-Mobile G1 does not come with any type of media player syncing software that you install on your desktop, you’re kind of on your own for figuring that out.

If you’re going out to a costume party tonight wearing a Star Trek uniform (and you probably are), don’t forget to dress up your favorite Windows Mobile device as a Star Trek Tricorder. ScaryBear Software has a great little program that makes your phone look and sound like a Tricorder straight out of Star Trek.

T-Mobile Android G1 Hardware Tour

On October 31, 2008 By Adam Z. Lein In Hardware, Pocketnow

Here’s our hardware tour of the T-Mobile G1. I really like the trackball. It seems more accurate than the Blackberries and is very similar to the HTC Artemis’ trackball. Unfortunately the buttons on the front are very flat and difficult to feel for. There’s not much differentiation. Also, the keyboard buttons are difficult to feel for as well. In our size comparisons, the G1 is quite large, however it does have a large screen, which …
