Last week, I blogged about the good times being experienced by Android , the open source operating system from Google and the rest of the Open Handset Alliance.

ADD COMMENTS My friend Janakan just got a Google Andriod. I think they’re pretty cool along with the Palm Pre and iPhone. Abduction on Google Android is great 
Anyway one thing the iPhone could improve is adding a central notifications area to show all push notifications. The way I’d see this working is to swipe right from the home screen to where spotlight/search is now, and show a chronological list of all notifications for all apps. Then if you start typing it starts to search your iPhone as usual.

ADD COMMENTS A new site has gone live today that should be of interest to owners of the new HTC Tattoo. Customers have the ability to customize the look of the hottest new handset from HTC with pre-designed or unique images. The price for a ready-made designis 11.99 Euros ($17.75 US) and 14.99 Euros ($22.13) if you wanna start from scratch. Images, symbols, background colour and text can all be added, shifted around the case and layered to make the design completely bespoke. Get started with your HTC Tattoo skin by heading to TattoMyHTC . Shipment takes around 14 business day.

ADD COMMENTS This week marks the anniversary of Star Trek’s original pilot episode “The Cage”, and with it, the first appearance of the iconic Communicator. As one of the inspirations for today’s mobile devices, the Communicator did more than just long-range voice calls; in fact, many of its locator and universal translation services still outpace today’s state of the art. What’s more, the Communicator was so critical to the daily workings of Starfleet that cadets’ 4-year curriculum included mandatory courses in communications engineering. Today’s brand of mobile user doesn’t need four years to figure out their phone. But this week, and with a tip of the hat to the USS Enterprise for the Communicator’s anniversary, we did want to celebrate all things mobile by sharing some of Google’s favorite mobile tips and tricks. All week long, we’re going to be tweeting and blogging our top tips for using Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and more on your phone. We want to help every cadet go mobile, and get more out of their existing phone. Cadets with questions can ask them here until 11:59 PM Pacific Time, Tuesday night. Keep an eye on the Google Mobile Blog for answers to some of your questions on Wednesday, and tips for advertisers and developers later in the week. Everyone can boldly go… mobile!

ADD COMMENTS The first images of Samsung’s on-screen keyboard have made their way online thanks to Android.hdblog.it . As you can see, there is just only so much you can do to customize the QWERTY keyboard. What Samsung has done is give the end user more options for entry. The pictures show landscape and portrait keyboards and the ability to choose between various alphanumeric, symbols and T9. Are there any prospective Galaxy (Lite) buyers out there excited by the keyboard options? Anyone who can pound out messages quicker with T9?

The Blackberry app is less integrated, accessing only the native address book, and uses its own dialer. Users can’t simply go into the call log and return missed calls. They need to go back to the address book and select Google Voice to make the call. RIM may be falling behind fast. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/14/google-voice-apps-for-android-and-blackberry-are-here/
