Here’s another great way to have your phone EAT ITS OWN BATTERY – Google Buzz. Designed to tag your emails via location and inform your friends of your doings and whereabouts, Google Buzz for Mobile seems to be Google having a go at taking on Twitter – with Gmail integration for ease of use. Or, if you’re an advanced user, you can have it as a Layer on Google Maps.
Now over to our on-the-spot reporter Jeff Hungerford for the latest traffic news from San Francisco:
We suspect within a few days Google Buzz will be full of HIPSTERS bragging about what sort of sushi they’re eating, then what bar they’re having their post-sushi cocktails in, then it’ll gradually fade into obscurity.
Sorry, Google, it’s very clever and everything, but not everyone lives in San Francisco or New York and likes being connected to the HIVE BRAIN every waking second of the day. We’ll pass for now, although we do reserve the right to jump enthusiastically onboard in 18 months time if it does take off.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
