Google's Gingerbread based device Nexus Two Reveals itself [Picture]

Google's Nexus one was already a hit mobile around everywhere and there it is the what so called "Nexus Two" the long rumored phone. There were lots of rumors about this phones from the last few weeks and we have the picture of it, that how it looks. Google has choose Samsung to build this phone not HTC.there might be a reason behind it?

This phone was first revealed by Gizmodo as when they saw this device there reaction was something like:

"When I first saw it from 10 feet away, I thought it was the Galaxy S," says our source, who got to handle one. "I was a little surprised it was the Nexus Two," because it’s so different from the Nexus One.

We have some of the data about its design and a little bit about its specs, as Gizmodo is also not to sure about it's specs. Basically it's Black and shiny, built with glossy plastic. It have the same 4 Inch AMOLED Touch Screen same as the other Samsung Galaxy S devices. But this phones looks thinner than Galaxy S phones. It also have a Front facing camera, and hopefully this phone will feature Android 2.3/3.0 (Gingerbread). It's front face camera which will become more useful when Google creates a new software same as "Apple's Facetime" maybe something like Google talk.

This phone might be a good challenge for iPhone 4. After we've got the full specs of this phone then we'll know if this is better than iPhone 4 or not.

The release date of Nexus Two is not confirmed yet,but it's said to be released in a press conference by Google and Samsung on 8th November in New York City. [via Gizmodo]

iPhone 4, Windows Phone 7, Nexus One in a Web Browser Comparison [Video]

Pocketnow shows us a new video for a web browser speed test between iPhone 4 (iOS 4.x), Windows Phone 7, and Nexus One (Android 2.2). The video shows Windows Phone 7 in it's beta, so it's worth noting that neither the Windows Phone 7 device nor the software it's running are final builds!

I don't think that Windows Phone 7 will get better! But let's watch what will happen!

Of course, the video shows iPhone 4 is the best! Windows Phone 7 is not great in this death match. We already showed you a video comparison between iPhone 3G and Windows Phone 7 but this time iPhone 4 and Nexus One!

Tawkon App Shows Death Grip on iPhone, BlackBerry, Nexus One [Video]

Tawkon shows us "Death Grip" on iPhone, BlackBerry and Nexus One. This app for BlackBerry, Android and iPhone (Release soon) uses algorithms to determine how much radiation is being emitted from your cellular device. From the official blog,

As you can see in our quick demo, this phenomenon is not exclusive to the iPhone – the way you hold the phone – and specifically blocking the receiver – increases the transmission power of the phone to maintain good cellular connectivity, and thereby increases radiation levels you’re exposed to.

There are many other factors influencing radiation levels – such as your location, operators network load, your phone model SAR levels, etc – but during this demo we made an effort to keep changing factors constant so we could isolate and see the impact of the Death Grip on several different phones.
