White House Official Android app

White House Android App is an Official application for Android. This application report the news who happens in the White House, who was developed by the White House New Media, (take note, there are Some copycats in the Android Market)

  Also the app is very professional looking and is updated frequently. One complaint I must express (though this Is not too unexpected) Is That Because these pieces are coming out of the White House, They certainly feel much more like press releases rather Than actual news stories.

Laid out with an interface That resembles a lot of other popular, major news sources, users click around cans Between blogs, videos, photos and news. This set-up makes for easy, sensible navigation.

Also cans Users customize the White House's settings (just by clicking on the app's menu button) so That They receive push notifications cans Whenever there's Some major news being reported, or a speech taking place in Washington. This way, you do not necessarily have to keep the app open in order to stay up-to-date on what's happening.

The app's menu has a very sharp, sleek design, but the individual articles do not. Because articles are posted by installments different people, there does not seem to be proper formatting taking place or even one uniform style Used by all.

Much of the text in the posts is clumped together rather then spaced out as paragraphs. If you're not Used to reading unformatted material, this May be Difficult on your eyes.

Apple Sues Galaxy Tab & Galaxy S

Samsung own is the vendor  first large of challenge the Apple  iPad with Galaxy Tab. They are also one of the largest Android handset manufacturers, with the Galaxy S sold to millions of units the whole world.

Complaint submitted Apple including 10 patent infringement, two copyright infringement and unfair business  practices. Apple blame the Samsung Electronics, Samsung America and Samsung Telecommunications  America  as the party responsible.

Items claimed to imitate Apple's 4G phones including  Epic, Captivate, Indulge, Nexus S, S and tablets Galaxy Galaxy Tab. Samsung's own party have not provided comments related to this lawsuit.


Clearly, this is all about iOS vs. Android.  why single out Samsung's Android line of devices? I hope Google offers Samsung some assistance in court -- it's but fair.

Quoting From Apple,

    "This kind of blatant copying is wrong [...] Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products."

Google аrе trying tο bе democratic аbουt іt. Whісh іѕ a roundabout way οf saying thеу’re nοt monogamous. Fοr thе Nexus One, Google teamed up wіth HTC. Thіѕ time around, thеу trusted Samsung tο dο thе job, using thе Galaxy S аѕ a base.

Maybe Google ѕhουld’ve thουght οf thаt аnd аѕ a replacement fοr οf rushing tο release thе Nexus S.

If thеу сhοѕе tο wait a couple οf months, a dual-core CPU сουld’ve mаdе a lot οf dіffеrеnсе – especially wіth Gingerbread. Thе Nexus S wουld hаνе bееn a beast јυѕt lіkе іtѕ predecessor wаѕ, wіth thе first droid powered bу a 1Ghz processor οn thе market. Wіth thіѕ hardware, thе Nexus S іѕ nο more thаn аn overclocked Nexus One.
