With the offical launch of Google’s very own Nexus One smartphone, I look into at the specs of the device as well as it’s main competitor the Apple iPhone.

Nexus One

The well known technology that enables computer users to watch videos will soon be available on most smartphones. Flash software delivers around 75% of online video and is the ‘key technology that underpins websites such as YouTube and Google Video’.  Due to the limited processing power of the devices, only a ‘light’ version has been used. The makers of Flash, Adobe have said it should be available by 2010 on most high end phones…unfortunately not including Apple’s iPhone.

With the growth of smartphones and web browsing ‘booming’, Flash 10.1, as the new software is known has been developed to supply the demand of mobile users that want their mobile to act like a computer. Flash is found on 98% on computers and is the most commonly used piece of software installed on computers. The software is expected to be available on Windows Mobile, Palm and Google Android phones early next year. This is great news for mobile users as they will now be able to stream videos on their phones much easier.

Apple does not yet have any plans to support the new Flash software. According to Anup Muraka of Adobe, “Safari (Apple’s web browser) doesn’t support any kind of plug-in [on the iPhone].” He is hoping however, that Apple will eventually join with Flash to make some very happy iPhone customers.

Apple Iphone has took the lead in the application race and many are beginning to release that when this phone was released in 2007 it was going to be a lot more than a phone synced with an ipod.

Applications are little pieces of software that allow the user to do everything from have live flight times at the touch of a button to a restaurant finder which is activated by shaking the handset. They cost anything from 60p upwards, many are even free to download. Application developers are said to be making millions from these and it is no surprise others are desperate to catch up.It is time for the other phone giants to catch up and Nokia and RIM are next on the books.

Nokia are due to be launching an application store where users can download and install new software to their handset, the Ovi Store.  Ovi is described as the easiest way to stay up to date, keep in touch and share the things you love anywhere, anytime.

Blackberry are launching App World, a great combination of business orientated apps such as spreadsheet editors and stock market trackers as well as producing fun ones such as Tweetberry which allows you to update your twitter account on the go.

The Google android also has many fantastic applications available here are some of my favourites -

• Shopsavvy – this turns your phone into a barcode and allows you to scan any item..it then displays a price comparison of online shops!
• My Closet – one for us ladies, upload pictures of all your clothes and you can then plan out your outfits with your phone!
• Cab4melight – A simple application which gives you the cab numbers in your location…no more waiting around in the cold.

Applications are set to take the world by storm! If you’re buying a new mobile phone why not try one that allows you to download these new applications…your phone could become your new personal stylist, restaurant finder and price comparison tool.

Rumour has it the long awaited Google Android software update is due to be available from April! Great news for all Google fans and Android owners out there the ‘cupcake’ software makes this handset an even better contender for the iphone. We think the name ‘cupcake’ stands for just how tasty this new software is going to be!

Pocketlint have reported that this lovely software will be available from April onwards, this will coincide with the HTC Magic ( Google 2 ) which will probably come downloaded with the software already. Some of the main highlights include the onscreen touch sensitive keyboard, stereo bluetooth and video recording.

Rumour has it will also include Google latitude which is a service that combines cell tower triangulation and GPS which basically lets you know where your friends and family are and passes on your location. One website has described an interesting use for this suggesting a girlfriend could use it to trace where her boyfriend is if he is running late? or where he shouldn’t be! We think it would be most useful when on a night out if you lose your friends or in a big crowd of people at an airport/festival/conference etc.

The Google Android is already a bestseller with its stylish looks, amazing interface and fun features and we are sure this will only excel the sales.

We cant wait for this lovely cupcake to come out of the oven, watch this space!
