Google unveiled the Gesture Search app, that allows android users to search for contacts, bookmarks, apps, music by drawing simple gestures on the screen. Gesture Search, announced March 3, can only be used on devices running Android 2.0 or higher ( I tested it on a HTC hero running firmware 2.1), which restricts the number of devices that have access to it. After using it on my phone, I found it very comfortable and useful, though it’s a little slow on my device. The app allows us to quickly search through the phone. All the contents are indexed first to make the search more faster. Many users want it to be bundled with the oncoming android devices. Want to try it out yourself ? Go to Android market and search for “Gesture Search”…!
Install from Marketplace
Go to ‘Market’ on your Android-powered device.
Select ‘Search’.
Enter ‘Gesture Search’ into the search field.
Once you’ve found the Gesture Search app, touch to install.
Apple took advantage of the Academy Awards Ceremony tonight to air its very first iPad commercial, a very smart move knowing their intention to make it mainstream. It’s not their first move of the sort, since as you probably remember, they already had Colbert make some promotion at the Grammys last month.
In short, it’s a 30-second upbeat clip meant to go around its main features, pure Apple goodness. Check it out:
One of the latest BlackBerry smartphones to hit the market finally got its first taste of the latest update for OS 5.0 thanks to a leaked update that’s been finally made available for download. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 really managed to turn up the notch for the veteran smartphone maker with its sleek form factor and peppy speeds, but the Bold 9700 is getting treated to the OS 5.0.0.536 leak which brings forth a small amount of improvements. Owners can expect to see the caller ID issue fixed, no lock icon unless you have a password, the lock function is different, and browsing the internet looks to be a bit faster. Although it’s not a huge difference in terms of what’s experienced previously, it points to a telling sign that hopefully an official update will be made in the near future. So if you’ve got some time on your hands and want to take a risk in placing your Bold 9700 into the latest version, then you can give it a shot by installing the leaked update.
After chiming in on Steve Job’s keynote for the Apple iPad, a long time Swedish Apple fan going by the name of Jezper Söderlund sent Apple’s biggest genius a question. Aside from just flat out asking whether the Wi-Fi only version of the iPad will support tethering through the iPhone, Jezper didn’t waste much words in describing his affinity to obtain the answer to that question. Not only does he consider himself a famous DJ in his own right, the longtime Swede even provided some insights to his liking for Apple products as he is in the process of replacing his last computer at home with a new iMac i7. As with any email sent to Steve Jobs, there’s that slight possibility of getting back a reply – especially when he probably goes through hundreds or even thousands of emails per day from co-workers, employees, friends, and anyone in between. Jobs provided a rather simple and definitive answer to Jezper’s valid question – “No.” So there you have it, the two lettered word sent back to Jezper by Steve Jobs on his 3.1.2 iPhone pretty much seals it for that.
