The Google Nexus One is available for T-Mobile and AT&T.
The Nexus One. In the modern climate of hyped (and over-hyped) smartphone launches, Google's official entry into the phone-sales game has excelled in a department where many find difficulty: generating legitimate excitement. Of course, long before the name Nexus One or the recent bounty of pictures and details existed, the very concept of a "Google Phone" had been ingrained in the public conscience, predating even the Open Handset Alliance and Android itself; the company dabbled in the concept of direct sales through its offering of the Android Dev Phones 1 and 2 (alias Ion), but this time, it's a public retail ordeal, not a couple of one-off developer specials. The genuine-article Google Phone is finally here -- for better or worse.
The device, a Snapdragon-powered, HTC-built phone looks -- on paper, at least -- like the ultimate Android handset, combining a newly tweaked and tightened user interface with killer industrial design. A sleek, streamlined phone that can easily go toe-to-toe with the iPhone 3GSs, Pres, and Droids of the world, powered by the latest version of Android (2.1 "Flan," if you're counting), and hand-retooled by Google. But is it all it's cracked up to be? Can the Nexus One possibly live up to the hype ascribed to it? And more importantly, is the appearance of the phone the death knell for the OHA and a sign of the coming Android autocracy?
Qik has a special Android version that supports live video streaming.
A newer version of the Qik video streaming Android app was uploaded to the Android Market today, adding new features like on-phone editing and contact shortcuts for sharing videos. Qik, released previously as an alpha with some major bugs and shortcomings, now supports an offline mode that allows users to record a video and then trim it. Moving the starting and ending points of a slider edits out unwanted portions, and Qik then uploads the edited footage once a user enables Online mode.
Another feature added is the shortcut that makes sharing video or announcing live streams to contacts on your phone, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Go to Settings > Sharing > Shortcuts to enable the feature and choose if you will notify contacts via SMS or email.
Other things that I’ve noticed since we last mentioned Qik is that the app has improved video quality. There are still blips rather than a complete flowing video, but Qik has improved on my biggest complaint. The archive feature used to always cut out the first and last 10-25 seconds of my videos but I haven’t seen that happen yet. There are also less occurrences of dead air where the camera freezes for five seconds and suddenly picks up again. They’ll have to keep improving video quality, but I’m anxious to see this app in a stable form.
A 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics is present on the N8.
There are two cameras on the N8, there is a front-facing camera which is there for video calls and a rear facing camera for high quality photo and video capture, this rear facing camera has a 12.0 megapixel sensor which uses Carl Zeiss optics, in this article we will look at this camera in detail.
If you take a look at the camera’s technical specification (here) you can see that the camera features a 2 x digital zoom and takes photos at a resolution of 4000 x 3000, also worth mentioning is its Auto Exposure, Auto Focus, Geotagging, Red-Eye Reduction, Self Timer and Xenon Flash.
The camera also offers HD video recording at 720p (1280 x 720), this captured video has a frame-rate of 25 frames per second. The supported video recording formats are H.263[1], H.264/AVC[2], MPEG-4 and whilst recording video you can make use of a 3 x digital zoom.
Reports suggest that N8’s sensor takes better quality photos than the Sony Ericsson Satio’s 12.1 megapixel camera
