What is an Android phone?

Posted on Jun 12 2011 by Gerry Comments: None yet Filed under: Android, Android tips, Mobile

Android in the Philippines is gaining ground. This week people have asked me — What is Android? I have also observed that more young people are using mobile phones that have Android on it. So on this post, I decided to explain as simple as I can what Android is so that if someone asks me again, I can just point to this post and let them read and discover for themselves.

I have to admit, the Philippines is still a major Nokia country. You see them everywhere. I for one also use a Nokia mobile phone. I am still a fan of Nokia because they produce high quality cellphones. What happened to me is another worth another post altogether, but for now let’s concentrate on Android.

Three powerful dual-core Android phones for the Philippines

Posted on Jun 10 2011 by Gerry Comments: None yet Filed under: Android, Android phones, dual-core phones, HTC, LG, mobile phone philippines, Samsung, Mobile

By the end of June 2011, the Philippines will get three super Android phones all of which are powered by dual-core processors. The three dual-core Android phones are the HTC Sensation (coming this June), Samsung Galaxy S II (also coming this June) and the just released LG Optimus 2X.

Mobile phones are fast evolving into small powerful computers and pretty soon most of us won’t feel the need to use a regular desktop computer. All these phones run Android 2.3 also known as the Gingerbread version. Each one has at least 4-inches of display area running at 1-Ghz or more of CPU power. Of course, it has all the basic specs that you’d expect from phones of this caliber like — GPS, bluetooth, dual cameras, Wifi, 3G, internal storage and a lot more.
