Google Shopper hits Android

While there have been numerous grocery look up applications released for the Android, we’ve yet to see one straight from Google. Now, Google has come forth and released Google Shopper, a look up application that allows users to look up thinks using text, voice, barcodes and even photos of books and other printed media.

After finding the product of your choice you can do things like share it with your friends, add it to your favorites or save it to your history for look up later.

You can download Google Shopper now through the Android Marketplace. I just wonder what the developers making a living off of their grocery look up applications are going to think of this.

Next-gen FX UI for Samsung and LG devices

Samsung and LG – South Korea’s largest phone makers – both have their own User Interfaces (TouchWiz and S-Class, respectively), which can be used combined with other OSes (Android, Windows Mobile etc).

Now, TouchWiz and S-Class don’t have too many things in common, but it looks like Samsung and LG will soon use a similar FX UI that supports really nice 3D and video animations.

Said FX UI was actually demoed at MWC 2010, first on a large device with a QWERTY keyboard, and then, for some reason, also on the Google Nexus One (which, of course, has nothing to do with Samsung and LG).
The new FX UI will be used not only on phones, but also on other mobile devices, and even in car systems. Samsung and LG should launch handsets based on the new UI in late 2011. Samsung probably plans to use the FX UI on its Bada OS smartphones, while LG might use it on its Android handsets.

Google “translator phone” project promises real-time translation

Google are apparently developing a live, speech-based translation system that would allow multi-lingual phone conversations to be interpreted in real-time.  The technology – which Franz Och, Google’s head of translation services, reckons will “work reasonably well in a few years’ time” – combines voice recognition, speech-to-text and voice synthesis, all of which are separately available from the search giant but not yet in a combined fashion.
The system would also improve its recognition properties, based both on repeated implementation by a single user and through Google amalgamating their data across all users.  The company already believes it can use digitized documents and websites to better educate its speech-to-speech engine on previously tricky topics, such as grammar.

Nexus One’s big update can be had without the wait

Android’s devised one of the slickest, most widely-deployed systems for delivering over-the-air operating system updates to smartphones, but there’s a problem: you’ve got to wait until your carrier (or manufacturer) blesses you with them. They’re typically deployed in rolling batches so that it’s easier for the company to do one final test of the code’s veracity and limit potential damage before sending it to a wider audience — but where there’s a will, there’s a way, right? As is often the case with these things, some folks have found a way to get the Nexus One’s glorious new multitouch code on the phone before Google’s willing to give it to you, and for anyone who’s done this before, it’s a fairly standard-issue procedure: copy the update to the root of your microSD card, reboot into recovery mode, and apply the binary. We’ve tested the procedure and it works like a champ, so if you’re feeling impatient, go ahead and pull the trigger — we’re going to go out on a limb here and say that the risk of bricking is pretty low.
