This week may be the final to see what we offer Android Gingerbread, numbering possibly in the Android 3.0. The jump from the current version, Android 2.2, is expected to be substantial. That you may be getting an idea, we leave you with what we expect from Android 3.0:

* New GUI. Matias Duarte, who left Palm to Google, should have contributed to this change in aesthetics than expected for Android 3.0, so it is likely that brands tend to customize the interface rendered to fall Android the new Google operating system for mobile.

* More power please. Although in principle the power requirements of the new Android will not be very different from today, the possibility that this new version can be combined with NVIDIA Tegra 2 platforms like us to dream with a qualitative leap in their power. For sure, Android and Nvidia are a safe start to the new terminal later this year.

* More integrated services. Google Music as a music subscription service exclusively for Android phones, native integration of Google Docs or a more serious video conferencing system are some of the services that are rumored to be able to see with the new Android.

Go interesting accessory us this morning without eating or drinking the Sony Ericsson guys, this is a small OLED screen, we would say that slightly larger than a watch, which allows us to monitor various functions of our Android phone.

Her name is Sony Ericsson LiveView, and the coincidence in size with a clock is not accidental, since it has a strap to put on our own wrist. Ultimately we find the same idea RIM introduced us a few months ago, BlackBerry inpulse, but has not yet appeared on the market. Let us know in video:

After seeing the video, you can get an idea of the possibilities of great accessories, the display is interactive in that it incorporates four sensors on each side of Sony Ericsson LiveView enable us to do things.

Communication between devices is done via Bluetooth (up to 10 meters), so perfectly in the bag we can take our phone because the main reports (including Facebook) will be on our wrist.

The OLED display chosen is 1.3 inches and has a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. It also has a couple of physical buttons that allow the switching on and selecting menu options.

Android phones are sought, mainly for its multimedia capabilities, which allow phones to be much more than that, and become excellent cameras, GPS navigators, radar warning devices, portable game consoles and more, provided the phone support as Android applications are wide and is only a matter of finding what we need.

Vodafone users have several options to choose from, as they have done with most HTC Android phones, but also has its own terminal and the Vodafone 845, which is the first phone with Android as the operating system to launch the operator in the range of low cost, but no longer interesting.

It has version 2.1 of Android and the factory, but also a customization of the mark will not be as easy to remove, but it is something we should ignore if you’re looking for a smartphone economic and flight performance.
