Android Stats - September 2010

According to the latest numbers made available on the Android Developers blog,  70% of all the active Android phones are running on Android 2.x.

This is quite a huge jump if you think that back in May 63,6% of all active phones were running on 1.5 and 1.6,  so the Android 2.1 and 2.2 jumped from 30% to 70% in only 3 months.

This change in stats was caused by the big number of new mobile phones released lately but also due the large number of upgrades including the HTC trio of the Nexus One, EVO 4G and Desire handsets that now run on 2.2.

A big advantage of this achievement is that makes it easier for developers to create apps.  Less fragmentation means that developers need to take in account less variables when creating apps, which means that we can all enjoy better quality apps :D .

Fujitsu says will charge your phone wireless from across the room

September 13th, 2010
 

SNAG-0023

Here is a news that caught my eye right way, Fujitsu says that it has developed a technology that will be able to charge your mobile phone wirelessly from a distance of several meters :D .

Imagine that, no more wires whatsoever! Once you get in your car, go inside you house or enter a bar your mobile will automatically charge itself.

This will have a huge impact on the way we use our mobile phone and our perspective on what means a good battery consumption.  If your phone is charging all time wireless than you can use any app for as long as you wish and stay online ….”forever”.

Nimbuzz-blog_flags

Although Nimbuzz is a Dutch company and we have our HQ in Rotterdam our team comes from all over the world.

Yes, English is the common language we use, but we know things can get lost in translation, especially when communicating with you guys and people who use Nimbuzz all over the world.

Luckily, we got some amazing talent on board we took it upon ourselves to create local blogs for you in (accessible via the flags at the top of the sidebar ) .

This way you’ll get the latest news about Nimbuzz, special deals on phones in your country, insights into the mobile landscape, and access to Nimbuzz team members that speak your language and take your feedback.

Starting today we want to introduce the team behind the blogs and because Thiago, our man in Brazil came up with the idea he will be the first to say hello and why you should visit the Nimbuzz Brazil blog.

Demand More from Your Mobile Phone: Part II #moremobile

September 2nd, 2010
 

More mobile

A week ago, we kicked off our Demand More from Your Mobile Phone blog series to help you get more out of that hot little device that rarely leaves the comfort of your palms.

Let’s take a quick review of what we have learned: Nimbuzz lets you talk all you want with other Nimbuzz users, completely free! On top of that, we throw in calls to your MSN, Yahoo, and Google friends, also for free!

But we realize not everyone you need to contact has caught on to Nimbuzz yet. You probably have some prehistoric friends who are not even on the Internet! :P

So this week it’s on to the low cost options Nimbuzz offers to help you Talk More using the mobile Internet, not expensive cell phone networks.

We launched NimbuzzOut so you can conserve your cash on international calls to other mobile phones and landlines at much lower rates than the traditional mobile operators. You can save up to 95% on your mobile phone bill.
