All of us are addicted to the Android phone so that we use it even while we are on a walk. Sometimes we lose our mind and lost in our Android phone and don’t remember where we were going. So there is a brand new App for such people. The latest app in the Android market makes use of camera to give a transparent user interface. It displays the image of the road behind your Android device so that you feel it easier to type and also keep an eye on the road.

So whenever you are doing something on your Android phone while you are on a walk, this App will let you see what is there behind your phone. It just uses your device’s camera and takes image of what your camera is watching. You are not actually having a transparent device similar to one in the movie Avatar. Take a look at the image below to get an idea of what this App is all about.

One big thing that you may note about this app is that, you can not change the level of transparency. The developer of this app may be interested in providing this feature into a paid version. After all, you may need to pay some money for customizing this app. Let’s wait for the update of latest version or a paid version of Transparent Screen for Android.

The developer of this app has given few lines about the app. “You want to use your phone while you’re walking? Make your screen transparent!” The transparent screen for android is the best solution of using your Android device while walking. This is perhaps first move towards transparent devices.

You can download Transparent Screen for Android app from the Android Market right now and enjoy using it.

Few days ago, Apple filed a lawsuit against Motorola over “Slide to Unlock” implementation. In the recent ruling on Thursday, presiding Judge Dr. Peter Guntz publicly announced a decision in favor of Apple that “most of Motorola Mobility’s products were found to infringe on Apple’s slide-to-unlock image patent”. This results in a permanent injunction against any of the offending devices.

According to Dr. Peter Guntz, the screen unlocking feature used by Motorola in its smartphones duplicates the image on Apple’s slide-to-unlock patent image.

Apple got the copyrights through European copyrights (EP1964022) in October 2010 which is titled “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image.” US patent and Trademark office also granted the same copyrights to Apple a year later.

Actually court evaluated three different personifications. The good new for Apple is that they won two out of three that Motorola‘s smart phones implement. The third one in which they were not succeeded is the Xoom tablet uses.

The implementation of Xoom tablet is more similar to Samsung Galaxy Note. In this user has to make a swiping gesture from the inside of a circle to the outside. It requires a relatively large screen to work somewhat well, but even then it’s not very intuitive.

In spite of Apple’s triumph against Motorola results in a complete rework of how Motorola devices handle screen unlocking. The judge shows leniency towards Motorola by not banned the device sale but force a firmware modification. According to Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents, the outcome creates a “noticeable degradation of the user experience of Motorola’s products,” as the company will probably end up extending the “slide-to-unlock circle” found in the Xoom across its entire product line.

This decision is going to be not only a blow to Motorola’s mobility division but also hurt Android handset makers in general. It will allow Apple to bring similar claims to companies using the Google operating system to court in Germany, for example Samsung in Mannheim.

This is really a huge upset for Motorola’s mobility. Although Motorola has very small share in German market but MMI is in process of being acquired by Google. Today’s ruling is significant bad news for Android at large, and Google.

Over the last few months, it seems that Apple is really chasing its competitors when it comes to legal matters. The company filed a lawsuit against Samsung over auto correct as reported previously and this time it’s Motorola who will be in the court against Apple. Apple files the lawsuit against Motorola over their use of Qualcomm technology emerges.

The suit, filed in a San Diego federal court, argues that Motorola’s German lawsuit against Apple breaches terms of a patent licensing agreement between Motorola and Qualcomm. Apple and Motorola are engaged in global patent litigation, part of a broader legal fight over the smartphone market with billions of dollars at stake.

Motorola representative Christa Smith declined to comment on the specific details of the case, but said the company “will continue to vigorously protect our intellectual property.”

It seems a bit ridiculous but Apple is basically suing Motorola over their claims that Apple is illegally using Qualcomm’s baseband chip. In the lawsuit, Apple is asking to ban Motorola from being able to sue Apple over the use of the chip.

Recently Apple files a new lawsuit against its longtime competitor Samsung. The newest complain of Apple against Samsung is the spelling and auto-correct feature, used in iPhones and iPads, that results in a proposed word hovering over letters that a user is typing. The wording on the petition is:

“One aspect of the invention involves a method that includes: in a first area of the touch screen, displaying a current character string being input by a user with the keyboard; in a second area of the touch screen, displaying the current character string or a portion thereof and a suggested replacement for the current character string …”

The second patent is not clear but it looks that it is about the ability to unlock the device from its touchscreen.

Here, are the US laws according to which Apple has filed the lawsuit against Samsung.

1. U.S. Patent No. 8,074,172 – “Method, System, and Graphical User Interface for Providing Word Recommendations”
2. U.S. Patent No. 5,946,647 – “System and Method for Performing an Action on a Structure in Computer-Generated Data”
3. U.S. Patent No. 8,046,721 – “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image”
4. U.S. Patent No. 8,086,604 – “Universal Interface for Retrieval of Information in a Computer System”

Let’s see what could be the result of this petition. Stay tuned with Negri Electronics to get the update about smartphone industry.

After the iPad2, everyone’s eyes are now on the next incredible device of Apple to launch and which will be its latest successor. We got a news for you and that is the time has come when the next generation iPad may be launched. The iPad3 will be announced in the early March of 2012. After the announcement, it may hit the market in middle of the March. The gap of only one week between the announcement and release of iPad3 has created an excitement among the iPad lovers and also for the developers.

The main expected feature of iPad3 is the Retina display. So the developers are preparing for the Retina display in the next iPad. The developers have created the higher resolution graphics for the iPhone 4 after one week of its launch. Those graphics could easily fit on the high resolution screen. There may be some emails sent out to the iPad developers about the high resolution iPad3 display screen shots to be submitted to the store.

The expected change in the next iPad’s features is its long battery life and a faster processor. The Apple is about to focus on the battery life of the next iPad. We may see at least 10 hours of battery life in iPad3. The next advanced feature of this latest iPad will be its display. The Retina display will have a 2048 x 1536 pixels of resolution with a 9.7 inches long and wide display screen.

The HD camera will be there in iPad3 which will have HD FaceTime calls facility. The Bluetooth of this device may be upgraded to v4.0 with reduced the power usage. The iPad3 may also have the latest version of iOS – the iOS 5.1. The beta version of this OS is available in the market right now. We may also get Siri for iPad3 with advanced features and facilities.

As a conclusion, we can say that the next generation iPad device will have more advanced technologies enclosed. It would be a great experience of buying and using iPad3. You should buy it whenever it comes in the market.

Google has provided users with some pretty incredible services, biggest of all being the Android operating system, since then, they’ve been working hard to keep their users happy and Google Voice has been there for its users for quite a while, but up until Gingerbread 2.3, it’s been the best-kept secret in Android and Google. There are other VoIP services out there, but none of which are integrated actually in the OS. Skype is a great service, millions of users and multi conference HD video calling is nothing to scoff at, and while Google hasn’t reached the HD mass conference calling, they’ve provided a free service to all customers using Google products like Gmail and Android.

Things about Google Voice that average geek doesn’t know, which are pretty awesome, are cross platform calling, wherever you are. This is great for users across the world to contact other users to their phone, or to other users logged on to their laptops. Having served in the military, Google offers you FREE overseas calling to US customers, which is more than enough reason to jump ship from any other VoIP service simply because no other service offers you this. Users can even text phones and other users through this service just like you can with regular cell usages, and just like the calls, it’s cross platform!

With Google’s newest OS, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 on the rise, Google has made strides in integrating the service into the Android OS; you have the option to use Google Voice for all of your calls, saving your precious minutes for those customers that love to chat. You can even keep your own number to prevent the need to let everyone know your new number, or if you desire, you can pick your own new number and even have suggestions around your name i.e.: 555-555-BILL, which is actually quite nifty. When someone calls your number, you’re notified everywhere you have a Google Service, and can answer the same way; on your computer, tablet, or Android phone, and if you can’t answer right away, the caller can leave a voicemail. When the caller finishes this voicemail, Google Voice will attempt to transcribe the voicemail into a text so you can read what the voicemail said.

If this doesn’t have your mouth watering already, let’s say for example someone…undesirable calls; on a normal cell phone, you can just reject the call, but what if you don’t know the number? Google Voice requires all callers to say their name prior to sending the call, allowing the user to hear who’s calling, and politely reject the call, and not making it completely obvious you rejected the call. Just like a phone record, you can have a log of numbers that ingrates all of your contacts into your phonebook on all Google devices you have, and while sync all new contacts you make as well. If you have not tried Google Voice yet, you have no reason not to, it’s a completely free service that connects the user to a completely new variety of services that normal cell phones just don’t offer right now. Give Google Voice a shot readers, you won’t regret it!
