Chameleon Wants to Redefine the Home Screen. Samsung and HTC, Look and Learn
by Bogdan Petrovan on Mar 10, 2012 6 Comments">6
For most manufacturers, the home screen is the most important part of the Android interface. Why? Because, on the home screen, they can easily apply their own branding and style, and, in theory, differentiate their devices from the sea of competing Android products. The need for differentiation is understandable, but unfortunately, for end users, overlays like TouchWiz, Sense, or Motoblur are just sources of slow updates, bloatware, and poor performance. However, it’s not like the home screen of vanilla Android is a major step forward when compared to the manufacturers’ overlays. All you get in the stock version are apps …

If you’re an owner of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, then you’ll be glad to know that an upgrade to the interface is now available. The TouchWiz update adds new functionalities and streamlines the whole navigation to make your Android tablet use that much easier and more enjoyable. Interface customizations are usually scoffed at, particularly by long-time Android tablet users. The TouchWiz update, however, is a different story.

Samsung Behold II for T-Mobile review posted
by Michael Oryl on Nov 17, 2009 0 Comments">0
I posted my review of the Samsung Behold II for T-Mobile USA earlier this afternoon. A real mixed bag on this one. I like the hardware quite a bit, especially the camera and the AMOLED display, but the software leaves much to be desired.

Some of the stuff that Samsung added to Android works pretty well, or at least well enough, but the homescreen just doesn’t cut it. It has all of the same problems that other TouchWiz devices have …

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, but I’ve been pretty sick. That sickness is the reason I am not up in New York right now picking up a Samsung Behold II, in fact. But there are other people there, of course, and the word from my friend Eric at PhoneScoop.com is that T-Mobile is going to sell the Behold II for a pretty high price: $229.
