Google Plus for iPhone | Will it Equal Google Plus for Android?


After the release of Google Plus a native app was already available for Android but Google Plus app for iPhone is still missing. But that is the end of the world. Not because Google Plus is not unnecessary, but because you already have the ability to use Google Plus almost as natively from your iPhone. If you are planning to use Google Plus for iPhone or iPad all you need to use is the Safari Browser. Google Plus just plays fine in your iPhone.

Google has designed the mobile version of Google Plus very effectively with HTML 5. So when you point your Safari Browser to the Google Plus site you will see a beautifully crafted app-like interface ready to use. Though this version of Google Plus for iPhone will not work as powerful as native Google Plus for Android phones it should do just fine.

Google Plus for Android phones has some impressive features. The most impressive feature to me was the instant upload of any captured picture. No need to panic! The picture doesn’t go public instantly. It just gets uploaded and waits for you to decide its fate. You can publish it, keep it or just delete it as your wish. Google Plus for iPhone is on review and it should be on its way too though I don’t think it will have this instant upload feature as it doesn’t go with the policy of Apple.

New Android Market Review | Features, Advantages and Disadvantages


An update to the Android Market is about to release very soon though a leaked version of the new Android market is already available online. The new Android market looks really cool which is similar to the Metro UI in the Windows Phone 7 interface. It has many new features and it gives you more opportunity to discover new and quality apps in the new Android market. I have used the new Android market recently (the leaked version) and here is my new Android market review.

New Android Market Review

The new Android market is changed from top to bottom. Especially when talking of the UI it is something totally a remake rather than an update. Excessive use of black has replaced the Green color which was previously used in the old Android market. This is may be a part of the change of all the Google product interfaces including the Google search results. I downloaded it instantly after it was leaked. Used it in a low end Android phone and rolled back to the old Android market after two days. It looked great at first use. But gradually I found some problems in it while using it in my phone. Firstly the search results were not coming at all or after waiting for a long time. Secondly the sliding function was not as smooth as any other operation. So without a proper search feature it was not usable at all in a Galaxy 551. But the new Android market works perfectly when using in a high end phone. So who are interested in using the new Android market should use a high end phone to use it smoothly and rip all the new features.
