My Android phone experience

The telecommunication industry is slowly migrating from the traditional lane line to wifi (wireless free) platform. The industry experts are predicting that wifi sector would totally replace the traditional lane line with the smart phones in few years. The Apple and Google are the major players brining the wifi industry into a new level. While the Apple is focusing on patent based 3g technology, the Google Android platform is getting the momentum. All the major telecom providers including Sprint, AT&T, Verizion and others are slowly leveraging the Android's potential.

I have recently bought the HTC Hero from Sprint. I was little disappointed when i switched on the device. The device offers more than what the end user needs and it becomes very handy once you start customizing the device based on your life style. The device is very sleek and compact than any other Android device currently available in the market. The device comes with the basic apps that is good to enough to start with. However the Android market provides tons of free and paid apps for the user. All you need to do is to download the apps based on your interest and you are all set to go.

You might hear lot of stereo type comments about the performance of the device and the battery usage. I have been using this device for about a month and the battery performance is not that bad. All you need to do is download the Advanced Task Killer and clear out all the unused processes. This would significantly improve the battery life and performance of your device. The device supports the multi process but you have to watch out it will easily drain out your battery.

My favorite apps are,

Google Apps

The google apps are the killer apps. if you have a Google account you can synchronize all your contacts, mails, appointments, documents, tasks and etc. I love it. The Google map is handy for those who travel a lot.

Advanced Task Killer

This app significantly improves the performance and battery usage of the device.

Facebook and Twitter

The apps comes with nice look and field and you can synchronize with the google people app. You can not resist this app.

News Apps

The AP News, BBC News and USA Today are my favorite news apps. I love the USA Today app, the look and feel is excellent. It is a great app.

Content Search Apps

The dictionary, wikipedia and wapedia apps does the work for you.

Restaurants and Shopping Apps

Yelp, Aloqa locale,where,CNET Scanner are the best in the Android market.

Entertainment

Pandora, Shazam, A online Radio and Music are the good ones. The youtube is not playing the videos for some reason.

Tools

Astro, dolphin browser, pic say, uninstaller are the few good ones.

Finance

I am concerned about using the financial applications. The hackers are successful in breaking into the financial apps. You have to be cautious before you are considering any app.

My Favorite Features are,

Customization

The device provides the extended screen that comes with the seven screen panels. You can drag and drop around 100 apps. It is more than what you need.

Multiprocess

The device acts as a small laptop. You can do multitasking.

Notifications

The notification is a one good feature. The event based application is handy for busy professionals.

GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, Camera, Camcorder, USB Port

The features are endless.

The Google Android platform is just the beginning it is long way to go. In nutshell you can not go wrong with this one.
