Nokia N9 is one of the most beautiful devices Nokia has ever made. The shape, its body – every aspect of the phone speaks out how much Nokia has put into the phone. The new (not so new now) Nokia N9 is an elegant device that runs on Meego, a Linux-based Operating System, which Nokia has now killed down.

Facebook Messenger for iPhone and Android was released a couple of days back which is a standalone app for messaging to your Facebook friends and mobile contacts.

The app was released for iPhone and Android first, but according to the Help pages on Facebook, Facebook Messenger will soon be making its way to BlackBerry devices as well.

This app is a direct competitor to BlackBerry Messenger and WhatsApp (both of them used on BlackBerry a lot), and now Facebook wants to dominate that area as well.

Messenger is available on iPhone and Android devices, and will soon be available on Blackberries. To get the app, search for “Facebook Messenger” in your phone’s app store.

No release period or dates have been given, but we believe the app is still in development and will be released soon. Even if you don’t have Facebook Messenger on BlackBerry, you can still reply to messages from Chat, Messages on Facebook website or text messages.

Via Facebook Help.

Facebook has just launched their Facebook Messenger for Mobile, a standalone messaging app for smartphones. According to Mashable, Facebook will be rolling out several new features to its Facebook Chat feature.

Now you can send messages directly to your friends on their mobile phones, so you stay in touch no matter where you go. Message friends using Facebook Messenger for Mobile or anyone in your mobile contacts. This looks more of an approach like WhatsApp, BlackBerry Messenger etc.

Messaging is now even faster and you don’t have to be online in Facebook Chat all the time just to chat with friends. You can stay offline in Facebook Chat and still chat with friends using the mobile app.

Facebook Messenger for Mobile also supports group conversations, to make plans on the go and you can also share photos. I’m guessing, Facebook would soon be releasing video chat features as well to the mobile apps.

Try Facebook Messenger for Mobile Now!

Facebook Messenger is already available for iPhone and Android in their respective app markets.

Skype for Android got an update today – a much-needed major update to the Android app. Skype Android app now brings you video-calling across (some) Android devices and a UI overhaul to the app. Skype video-calling was one of the most requested features on the app, and looks like we finally got it today.

Video-calling on Skype for Android is cross-platform. Android to iPhone to PCs to PSPs – everywhere! The new UI is not something to be happy about as it because it is very bloated and slow. You can hardly use it. It’s really nice, but only if the Skype Android team would make it even more better in speed.

You can download the Skype for Android update from Android Market.

Google allow Android users to backup their apps, settings, passwords om their Google account and it restores everything back to how it was when you do a full reset of your phone. However, it never backups up your call logs. To most of you, this may not seems of any importance, but for some, it does.

Android keeps a record of your last 500 calls. There is an app available on the Android Market to help backup and restore your call logs on another phone or after a full reset.

Call Logs Backup & Restore is a free app that lets you do exactly what it says to. It creates a backup of your call logs and you can easily restore them back later on the same phone or a new phone.

I tried this between my Google Nexus S and a Samsung Galaxy S II – it worked perfect! Simply, download the application and install it. Then in the app, hit tap the ‘Backup’ button to start the backup process. This process could never be this easy!

There are a number of Twitter clients available that allow you to upload photos directly to TwitPic and other Twitter photo-hosting services, but what if you don’t want to upload using a Twitter client?

Picture Tweeter does that job. It is a separate Android app that provides a very simple interface to upload photos to TwitPic and publish them on your Twitter profile with a tweet.

After installation, you need to enter your Twitter username and password in settings, and you’re all good to go. Just select an existing photo from your gallery, or take one right from within the app. Type in a tweet/caption with which you want it to be posted and upload it.

The app automatically resizes the photo in the standard TwitPic size, making it faster to upload photos if not connected to WiFi.

Google has just launched their official Google Docs Android app in the Android Market. You can now easily create, edit, upload and share your documents right from your Android phone with the Google Docs app.

Google Docs for Android app is now available for download from the Android Market. We have just downloaded the app and are playing with its features.

Some of the features in this app are:

• Designed for Android to save you time finding your docs
• Edits to your documents appear to collaborators in seconds
• Make quick changes to spreadsheets
• View your documents, PDFs, images and more.
• Upload and convert files to the Google Docs format
• Take a photo of printed text and convert it to a Google document
• Share docs with your phone’s contacts

So far, the only drawback I see of this app is that it doesn’t have a proper compose/editor for creating new documents, and the app should support viewing documents offline. Still a lot to explore.

People who use Foursquare a lot, and literally “check-in” at every place they go, taking out your phone just to check-in at times could be very annoying. This is where this small Android app comes in.

Autosquare is a free Android app that automatically checks-in to your favourite venues on Foursquare. In order to run this app accurately, you need to have a working GPS on your Android phone.

From our tests, the app was accurately adding our check-ins to Foursquare. This app has great potential, and if the developer puts in just a little more tweaks, it would really get popular among Foursquare users on Android.

Their Photo Editor for BlackBerry devices has occupied the  no. 1 rank on AppWorld twice in the past three months and now with LED Notifier, they are again currently ranked the best selling Blackberry application in the world.

LED Notifier does exactly what Trackball Color does for Android devices. It is a very simple app that lets you customize the behavior of the BlackBerry LED light so that it can blink in different colors based on who is calling, texting or e-mailing you.

For every phone call, text message and email, you don’t always have to pick up the phone to check. You can easily know exactly who is trying to reach you without needing to even pick up the phone or examining the device’s screen, all thanks to the small LED that will flash different colours for different contacts.

Here’s an example of how you can use the app:

LED Notifier can be configured to have your phone’s LED blink blue when your wife calls, red for text messages from your boss and green for email from your mother. The user is provided a host of choices with this cleverly designed application.

LED Notifier Features:

• LED Notifier blinks a different color for incoming call/SMS/Email from a particular contact.
• LED Notifier never gets in your way; it runs silently in the background waiting for an incoming call, sms or email to inform you by flashing your BlackBerry’s LED.
• You don’t need to manually start LED Notifier. Once installed it will launch automatically when your phone restarts or reboots and will run silently in the background.
• LED Notifier allows you to customize the LED color for the contacts right from your BlackBerry’s address book.
• You can also add numbers and email addresses that are not in your contact list but need a custom notification for them.
• You have the liberty to enable or disable the LED Notifier service whenever you want.

Trackball Color has always been very useful to me on my Nexus One (Android phone), but now even BlackBerry users can have the same ease and save time checking their phone every time a person calls.

LED Notifier is priced at only $0.99 in the AppWorld.

We have been working very closely with Google to ensure tight integration between Flash Player 10.2 and new OS and browser capabilities in Android 3.0.  The March 18th beta release of Flash Player 10.2 in conjunction with Google’s first system update to Android 3.0  (version 3.0.1) currently underway for the MOTOROLA XOOM™ will deliver the first phase of our work together.  This will be followed by subsequent updates, which will complete the optimizations and result in a production GA release of Flash Player 10.2 for Android 3.0.

Some of the new feature highlights in Flash Player 10.2 for Android 2.3 / 3.0 are:

• Hardware accelerated video presentation for H.264 (Android 3.0.1+ only)
• Deeper integration with the Android browser rendering engine (Android 3.0.1+ only)

• Automatic soft keyboard support

Flash Player 10.2 for Android will be available for download on March 18.

BGR reports that RIM is still working on the strategy and when to make it available for Android and iOS users, but it could be anytime before the end of this year.

BlackBerry Messenger for Android and iOS will be available for free or RIM might charge a one-time fee.

There are lots of other services and apps offering similar functionality i.e WhatsApp and Kik, but BlackBerry Messenger is still the most popular messaging app which is soon going cross-platform.

It is expected that BlackBerry will offer a stripped down version of BBM on Android and iOS i.e without feature to send photos, audio, videos etc. I’m not sure how this will go, but we (Android and iOS users) would love to try out the BlackBerry Messenger on our devices and see what is the hype all about.

Twitter iPhone app is the third most popular way of accessing Twitter after the Twitter websites.

The changes in the latest Twitter 3.3 for iOS are listed by Twitter blog as given below:

• Photos. Uploading photos is now easier than ever. There’s a camera button in the toolbar and we improved the image preview, so you can quickly choose a photo from your library or take a new picture.
• Follow your friends. Now you can find which of your friends are on Twitter that have chosen to be discoverable through the contacts on your phone.
• Local trends. See trends based on your location.
• Shorten links. When you want to share a link on Twitter, just paste it into the Tweet box and we’ll automatically shorten it.
• Tweet box design. We redesigned the “New Tweet” screen so it’s now cleaner and simpler.
• Autocomplete. When tweeting on-the-go, speed and accuracy are important. Autocomplete for @usernames and hashtags help you tweet faster
• Direct Messages. The new Direct Message conversation view helps you better keep track of messages.

Twitter 3.3 for iOS is now available for download from the iTunes Store.

Seesmic for Android released their latest app update today which brings full Facebook integration, Twitlonger support, more widgets and a lot more.

The new Seesmic for Android 1.6 lacked full Facebook integration like its iPhone counterpart, but now it’s even better than the iOS version of Seesmic!

This app now comes with complete Facebook support with Facebook pages. Add your Facebook account, view updates, comment, like, post to your accounts as well as to all the Facebook pages you’re an admin of. It now also supports TwitLonger, i.e. if you post tweets that are longer than 140 characters.

Head over to the Android Marketplace to download the latest Seesmic for Android 1.6.

Twitter for Android 2.0 was just released by Twitter and is now available for download from the Android Market. What is new in it? A brand new UI, lots of bug fixes and is now a lot faster than before.

The official Twitter Android app has always lacked Twitter developers love as compared to it’s iPhone counterpart – even in the last major update, it never got any better.

Twitter for Android 2.0 Review

Twitter Android 2.0 app brings a new UI, the same dark look as on the Twitter.com website and in my opinion is a much-wanted overhaul that everyone had been waiting for. The header of the app brings quick access to the timeline, mentions, direct messages and lists.

Like I said earlier, this app looks really impressive in the first look, but after some use, puts you down. The “Pull down to refresh” on Twitter for Android 2.0 is something that still needs a lot of work. The app has lag when you refresh your timeline or mentions. Even the sliding menu for every tweet in the main timeline is very buggy.

Compose area is still pretty much the same with the same options, but with a few UI changes, it is now a lot neater. Options include adding people to your tweet, taking a photo from camera, gallery photos or attaching location.

You can now edit your profile info right from the app, including your Twitter profile photo.

One new feature that I really like is that the Twitter Android app now scans your contacts on your phone, check their names for their Twitter IDs and show them all in a list for you to follow people you know.

Twitter for Android 2.0 syncs with your contacts and updates them with their latest tweets and their profile photo. Not a new feature, but still this is one of the reasons why I have the official Twitter app installed on my phone – with notifications turned off!

Twitter for Android 2.0 is now a lot faster and brings some new functionality as well, but for people (like me) who have been using Seesmic for Android, this app still isn’t that good to make us change to the official app. It needs a lot of work, a more stable and less-choppy user-experience.

Twitter just rolled out the new Twitter for Android 2.0 with a UI overhaul, performance tweaks, bug fixes and is now a lot faster than the previous official Twitter Android app.

I just downloaded it on my Samsung Galaxy S (my Nexus One is on vacation for a few days), and have been using it for a few minutes. First look is impressive, but it kinda feels sluggish and bug-ish when you start using it.

Details, review and screenshots later.

Facebook rolled out a new, updated version of Facebook for Android v1.5 which now brings Facebook Chat support and push notifications to your Android device.

If you had taken a look in the Comments section for Facebook for Android in the Android Market, Chat was the most requested feature for the Android app to come on par with the iPhone version.

Facebook for Android can still add a lot more functionality, but I guess we should be happy for the frequent updates of Facebook Android app unlike previously where we hardly got an update in six months.

Opera Mobile 10.1 beta for Android is coming soon to all Android devices and Opera has just set up a new Opera Mobile Next site for this.

This was initially announced last month in a blog post on the Opera blog where they announced that Opera Mobile for Android will be released within a month.

Opera Mobile for Android will feature pinch-to-zoom, hardware acceleration and geolocation features – something not yet found in any other version of Opera Mobile.

Since the website is now up, I’m sure the first beta release of Opera Mobile 10.1 for Android is just somewhere around and will be released in the coming week. Opera Mini for Android is already a success, now I wonder how will Opera Mobile will go.

If you don’t know what Opera Mobile is, it is just a mobile web-browser like the Opera Mini, but this one does not compress the web pages and loads them directly on your phone.

Opera Mobile will also feature pinch-to-zoom and hardware acceleration in the Android version of Opera Mobile. And these two features are also coming soon to the Opera Mini for iPhone.

The first public beta version of Opera Mobile for Android featuring pinch to zoom will be available from m.opera.com and Android Market within a month!

Firefox 4 for mobile is built on the same technology as the Firefox 4 for desktop and has been optimized for a mobile-browsing experience. It features some of our favourite desktop Firefox 4 features in the mobile app i.e. Firefox Sync, Add-ons and the Awesome Bar.

We have been following the development of Firefox 4 for Mobile (aka Fennec) from its early alpha releases and we must say, Firefox 4 beta is a big improvement in the browser stability and speed after Fennec for Android Pre-Alpha release. Just a week ago, Firefox announced that Fennec will be named Firefox for Mobile.

Firefox 4 for Android has the same UI since day one, but speed and stability is where it has improved a lot. It used to take almost a minute to get the browser working smooth after its initialize launch on the Nexus One, but now the app flies on both, the Nexus One and the Samsung Galaxy S.

If pull the screen towards right, on the left side of the browser you will see all your opened tabs and from there you can also open new ones. Similarly, on the right side of the browser, you have buttons to bookmark the website, go back or forward buttons as well. And at the bottom, you will see a Preferences button that brings up the Preferences page to configure the app as we want.

Firefox addons is the same feature why most of us love Firefox experience on desktop where we can customize the browser with our favourite addons. You can download new ones, or enable/disable existing addons from the Add-ons page.

When surfing websites, if you want to save an image, just like other browsers, simply long-press the image and you will see the options for that image.

Firefox 4 for Android also features the Awesome Bar that was first introduced in Firefox 3.0. To open a previously opened website or a bookmark, simply type in the words and you will be shown all the matching website URLs below.

Searching for a product, music or anything else on Twitter, Amazon, Google or Wikipedia is also a piece of cake now. Just type in your search query and select the service that you want Firefox 4 for Android to search in.

If you like a page and would like to share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader or through email, just tap on the favicon of that website and you will be given options on how to share that page.

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this browser to run on your Android phone other than that you need a fast and one of the new Android devices to run Firefox 4 for Android. Supported and tested devices include: HTC Desire, Nexus One, HTC Evo, Motorola Droid 2, Samsung Galaxy S I9000.

I’m still exploring the application for more features and improvements after the first alpha. This post will be updated if I find more. Do share your views regarding this Android browser below in the comments.
