Garmin-Asus-A10, both GPS and smartphone
The war on android based smartphone unavoidable among the major brand like motorola (with droid), htc (with their htc desire, wildfire and hero) and Samsung (with galaxy series).
Asus- Taiwan based company) which is known for the brand for motherboard, vga card, etc seems to challenge themselves on those competitive market by collaborating with Garmin – pioneer for GPS devices- to fill the niche market of android based smartphone, which is targeted for the adventurer..
New smartphone Garmin Asus A 10 Garmin – recently launched, is arguably a smartphone for the adventurers. Navigation Featuring a highly reliable, as we can get from the product – Garmin products, A 10 is intended specifically for those who like to explore and need a reliable GPS navigation assistance.
In addition, with buried the robot (Android OS) in this smart phone, the more aroused attraction of this smartphone, because as we all know, the end – the end of this Android is being increasingly loved by lovers of gadgets.
Sure, with android mobile phone anywhere, we’ve provided the GPS navigation feature, be it through applications – applications that can be downloaded or use google maps service. But when it tried to use artificial Garmin GPS navigation applications, all would agree, Application of artificial Garmin Navigation is still more superior. Mostly because the map and navigation data from the applications already built in, so no data connection is required (offline even can). This would be an advantage in itself, especially in parts of Indonesia, where the quality of the data connection is still uneven.
For business spec hardware, A 10 is a little bear. That said, for the class of Android phones, actually installed spec can be categorized at entry level. Display 3.2 “it is already capacitive and multitouch support, but unfortunately could only display 65 thousand colors, is still one level below the samsung Galaxy Spica is already 256 thousand colors.
Processors that are used are also very bear, speed is only 600 mhz, though for ROM and RAM is pretty big in number 512. But the thing to note is that the engineers A 10 is smart, dedicated ROM with a capacity of 512 is for processing and storage of various Android Application. This of course will be quite influential in performance when using various applications. And from some reviews that I read, A 10 is pretty good at running the application, even in a multitasking too (have several applications open at once), its performance is still very good.
Feature
A modern smartphone features 10 also has a fairly complete and performing well. The camera is, there is wi fi, bluetooth is also there, and also features – other standard features. The design also A 10 can be said to have been made with very good and memorable elegance. The quality of the material is not cheap, the screen was already coated with a layer of softlayer that can protect it from scratch or light dirt (fingerprints), this would also be one of value added for a touch screen smartphone.
With prices still below $500 (new), you could say only natural when A 10 is not equipped with a hi spec hardware. However, the value offered, you could say A 10 is very worth it, because as a whole was able to fulfill its function very well. Of course, Garmin mempush Asus should still be more in terms of hardware, thus further enhance the attractiveness of the product – A 10 products like this in the future.

motorola Flipout - unique design
Motorola has experienced something of a renaissance recently that the extent of their mobile phones are concerned, with its support for Android and social networking technology Motoblur, helping the doldrums.
Motorola has experienced something of a renaissance recently that the extent of their mobile phones are concerned, with its support for Android and social networking technology Motoblur, helping the doldrums.
The FlipOut is designed to build on past successes, bringing both Android and MOTOBLUR to an audience of users who can not afford an expensive smartphone, want something a little different, and need a physical keyboard.
Flipout is the result of a very different looking mobile phone. It ‘s a square instead of rectangular laptop, a smaller screen and keyboard, which moves away from a corner, when necessary – hence the name.
The unit seems strange 67mm square by hand at first, but only 120 grams phone slips easily into a pocket. The square screen is probably the biggest problem in terms of usability. At 320×240 pixels and 2.8 inches square, it is cramped. You can not get many widgets Android on one of seven home screens, and it’s not always easy to be precise with your finger presses. In addition, Android is not pressed into a rectangular shape, and menus often requires a lot of vertical scrolling. The operating system is designed for more screens.
Motorola has done work on this issue, for example, adjust the appearance of the dialer, but you inevitably frames the problems fairly quickly. Hardly Moto can do to make web browsing or whatever the video display over mashed-up chores.
It ‘s a pity that the capacitive multi-touch screen is a bit’ too rough, so zoom in on web pages already emaciated very annoying.
The keyboard on the other hand, is quite good, with a number of separate line and even within a small trackpad. Since FlipOut targeting a younger audience, small hands will find it quite comfortable to type fairly easily.
MOTOBLUR also a blessing for this generation, and its ability to integrate Twitter and Facebook updates in one place and a good integration of social networking contacts in the phone book. Small screen size does not hinder the usefulness of the first, but it has been very successful.
What I really like, however, is connected to Motorola music player. A feature of the combined company, which offers various other online tools to find the words and access to YouTube video of the song you’re listening. It is very soft. FM radio and Internet radio are also part of the suite of Connected Music Player service.
Motorola FlipOut hampered in part by the fact that it runs on Android 2.1, which gives it a little behind the leading edge. He is also back in the cold of the relatively low resolution of the camera. A 3 megapixel camera, with a limit of 352×288 pixels for video recording, simply install the.
With 2 GB of onboard memory, it comes with a little storage box, and a microSD card slot is easily accessible from the rear panel. HSDPA 7.2Mbps works for downloads and uploads to 2.0Mbps and Wi-Fi is, of course, support b, g and n connections. GPS is also included, even if you guessed it, the small screen is not much to see on Google Maps.
