Bump™ makes sharing photos, contacts, and apps with people as simple as bumping your phones together. Compatible with Android to iPhone too!

Bump for Android is an awesome app for quickly exchanging Contact info, Pictures and even Android apps! It’s such an easy way to share information on smartphones running the Bump app. It even works between Android and iPhones, so not just Android to Android or iPhone to iPhone bumps, but a mix of any phone running the app. Many users complain that you can’t Bump music transfers but understand there are legal issues involved there, something I’m sure Bump would not knowingly want to get involved with.

Their conclusion is that Android 2.1′s new speech-to-text thing works, just about, although there’s a delay of a few seconds while the phone crunches your spoken words and tries to get the gist of what you’re saying – and a few errors sneak in, particularly when dealing with those smaller words we tend to hurry over. Basically, it looks like you have an awkward choice to make – speak your messages then spend a bit of time awkwardly tidying up the few errors that will inevitably sneak in, or carry on as normal with traditional text input methods.

We compared these findings with that of our tests of Apple's mobile Safari browser on the iPhone 4. The results show that the Android device delivers significantly faster JavaScript execution than the iPhone, scoring over three times better on V8 and almost twice as fast on SunSpider

Android 2.2 是一次增补式的更新，但仅靠效率提升一点就让它成为 Android 狂热者的重要升级。提升的响应速度和更平滑的界面过渡大大提升了用户体验。 几个新功能——特别是批量升级——提供了立即可用的明显好处。其它功能，如 SD 卡程序存储和云备份，可能要在 Android 开发者大量应用后才能体现真正的价值。我对云端信息服务特别有兴趣——这应该能够极大的丰富 Android，为程序开发社区开启创新之门。 Google 积极的开发努力将 Android 快速向前推进。和两年前相比，系统更成熟了。2.2 版本新增的 JIT 大大解决了 Android 的效率问题，赋予了它前所未有的竞争力。Google 正在向 3.0 迈进，用户界面似乎会有大革新，我们很有可能看到更多创新

如果你看过主站介绍 Kik 的文章，一定对 Kik 用户的快速增长感到惊讶，这个功能简单的消息软件在短时间野蛮生长,在发行的 15 天内，用户人数从 0 增长到 100 万人

Kik 这种 Push IM 将快速消灭传统的短信，尤其是它把触角伸进你的通讯录之后

Kik 最初的目的是一个革命性的（很酷的）音乐分享、远程操作服务，但是 Kik 团队很快发现他们利用这些技术创造了一个信息交流应用，于是他们暂时放弃了音乐服务的打算，将所有多余的东西抛弃，专心做了一个快速、可靠的短消息应用。 Kik 的 CEO Ted Livingston 告诉 BGR，由于人数增长过快，他们不得不雇佣一架飞机，给数据中心增加服务器以保证服务的正常运行

google最后给的判决书： Hi, After further review from our abuse team we have confirmed that your account that was closed was modifying the ad behavior which is strictly prohibited as stated in the AdSense policies. These types of violations pose a significant risk to advertisers and for this reason we can no longer work with you through any partnering AdSense account or product offering. This will be the final communication about this issue. Please do not reply to this email as you will not receive a response. Thank you for your understanding. Google AdSense 我们自始至终都不知道原因。

我Google了下 "modifying the ad behavior " 就是指你修改了 Google提供的 adsense js code 或者 sdk 唯一有可能的就是这里了 GoogleAdView adView = (GoogleAdView) activity.findViewById(R.id.ad<http://r.id.ad/> ); if (adView != null) { View vc = adView.getCurrentView(); if (vc instanceof WebView) { ((WebView) vc).destroy(); } View vn = adView.getNextView(); if (vn instanceof WebView) { ((WebView) vn).destroy(); } } 因为用了adsense之后 我们的程序老是crash 从stack trace看是因为Google adsense sdk 引起的. 资源没有释放. 然后去Adsense的那个mail list AFMA 问了 碰到2个都有同样问题的 然后有人给了个code 因为adsense sdk没有destroy ad view  所以要手动destroy下 我们就在每个有ads的activty的 onDestroy 加上这段 就好了 程序没有crash了 结果就被搞了 连负责我们android adsense sales都事先不知道 adsense team就直接把我们封了 还在beta 测试阶段的东西 还有bug  我们只是加了这个保证他资源正常释放不会影响到我们程序 结果就挂了 而且Google的态度巨NX无比 连个申述的途径都没有  只是给了个link类似事后调查

我刚刚给我的sale发了一封信： Hi Sunil, It has been long that I haven't talked to you. I have a question, when I went to the application register page, I found the page layout was changed and some of my apps were gone. For example UK TV Guide, Australia TV Guide, etc. Also, the published status are all "false". I am confused because I am still seeing my ads are clicked in the daily report. Is there anything wrong? I am nervous because I just knew that an AdSense developer's account was disabled without any warning,  and the developers themselves don't know the reason. I don't want that happened on me so I really appreciate your comment. below is the letter in AFMA group. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks. Cheers, Luke 接下来我引用了superdroid的信。看看他怎么说吧。

Current Instapaper and former Tumblr developer Marco Arment wonders out loud if Google Android phones can ever achieve the levels of usability and polish Apple’s iPhone has arguably had since day one

Android will continue to exhibit what Google does best: great low-level engineering and tight integration with Google’s other services. But it’s never going to be Apple-like in user experience, polish, or design. Attention to detail, like most facets of truly good design, can’t be (and never is) added later. It’s an entire development philosophy, methodology, and culture

虽然 BGR 认为 XOOM 还是无法替代笔记本电脑，但是强大的硬件、令人印象深刻的规格配备以及专门为平板准备的系统，让 XOOM 仍不失为一款非常棒的产品。即便不够创新，与 iPad 相比在易用性、直观性以及软件选择上也没有做得更好，也一定会赢得很多消费者的青睐

总体来说，从硬件上 XOOM 超越了 iPad，在工业设计和美学方面和 iPad 也是同一档次，只是已经非常出色的 Honeycomb 系统在易用性上还无法跟 iOS 相比。除此之外，XOOM 无疑是当今市场最好的平板电脑

电力表现不俗，标称 18-20 小时，TC 的编辑经过十小时的正常使用（音乐、读书、浏览网页）以后，还能剩余 67% 的电量，对于普通用户来说，应该是绰绰有余了
