Today In Android Rumors: Version 2.1 to T-Mobile, Espresso Sense UI Spotted in Video [Rumors]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 27th, 2009
How about a nice Android rumor and a nifty video to kick start your afternoon? Well we have both: Exhibit A is a rumor regarding T-Mobile, while B is a video of Espresso in action:
To be quirky, here's B first:
It's a down and dirty little walk-through, featuring a slightly more polished menu and a new launcher bar in the corner.

It might be headed to T-Mobile, you see, on the T-Mobile G1. Further unconfirmed reports state it might actually be version 2.1 (Google Nexus One type stuff!). CES is coming soon. We expect more then, but possibly sooner. This is the Internet after all. Total sieve. [Mobile Tech World via Engadget and AndroidSPIN]
A Mockup of the Firefox 4 User Interface: Hello, Gorgeous! [Firefox]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 23rd, 2009
A Firefox developer has posted a handful of mockups of Firefox 4’s user interface redesign along with some explanations of this shiny new App Button we’re getting. Everything just looks oh-so-gorgeous and simplified right next to that old 3.5 design.
The main focus of this new design is the App Button, a space-saving touch which will feel familiar to Windows 7 users. In essence, it “provides a unified location for menu items” and cuts down on all the toolbar clutter.
You can check out Horlander’s site for plenty of details about the design and explanations behind some of the new elements, but before you go, tell me: Do you prefer this App Button sort of element? Or do you prefer the plain ol’ menus we’re used to? [Stephen Horlander via Neowin]

Engadget German | HDblog.it | Email this | Comments Second Fuse UI video shows wild, dynamically lit 3D interface
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 17th, 2009
We only got the briefest of glimpses at the new UI approach in Synaptics’ collaborative Fuse concept handset, and now TAT (The Astonishing Tribe, the folks behind the original Android UI), has posted a brief clip that gives a better idea of the full UI. It’s pretty wild, with some sort of rendering engine that really emphasizes depth, lighting and motion. We’re not sure it’s the most usable UI on the planet, but it’s certainly one of the oddest we’ve witnessed. Check it out in motion after the break.

Nokia promises to take “Symbian user interface to a new level” in 2010, Maemo 6 in
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on December 2nd, 2009
It’s Nokia Capital Market Day again which means that the boys from Espoo are fawning over investors and giving them a reason to stick around in 2010. And you know what? It sure sounds promising for gadget nerds. Why the optimism? Easy: Nokia is hell-bent on redefining the user experience of its Symbian devices. To quote CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, “In 2010, we will drive user experience improvements, and the progress we make will take the Symbian user interface to a new level.” To bolster this proclamation, the very first bullet point listed under Nokia’s Devices and Services operational priorities is “improve our user experience” — something that would thrill us to no end if it happens.
The revamped Symbian UI is set to deliver on two “major product milestones” in the first and second halves of the year. Nokia will also deliver its first Maemo 6 “mobile computer” in the second half of 2010 flanked by a significantly increased proportion of “touch and/or QWERTY devices” in its smartphone portfolio. It’s worth noting that all the discussion is around Symbian, just a single mention of Maemo and its “iconic user experience” in the forward looking press release. Developers will be happy to hear that Nokia will also continue to scale services geographically while continuing to enhance its developer tools like QT4.6 announced yesterday. Financially speaking, Nokia expects to see the erosion of its average selling price slowed compared to recent years. That’s good as Nokia attempts to grow its margins. However, while Nokia expects mobile device volumes to be up approximately 10% in 2010 across the industry, it sees its own mobile device volume market share as flat in 2010, compared to 2009.
Be clear on this though: our incredibly frustrating S60 5th user experience was by far the biggest complaint we had when reviewing Nokia’s flagship N97 — having the most bullet points on a list of features is not what it takes to lure consumers anymore (if ever). If Nokia can better the best in class experiences carved out by Apple, Palm, and HTC with its Sense UI then consumer mindshare, and our hearts, will follow.

How to Disable the New Google Search [Google]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 26th, 2009
Oh you people are never happy. I give you a way to try the new Google Search yesterday, and now you are asking about how to go back to the old one. Fine! Be that way! Here's how:
Yesterday's method only set a cookie in your browser, asking Google to serve a different page layout to you. However, this will affect other Google pages in the wrong way. Googlepedia, for example, renders a very narrow search results page.
To go back, go to your browser preferences and look for the Cookies section—this is generally under Privacy or Security. Now you have three options.
• The brute way: Delete all the cookies.
• The less-brute way: Search for your Google cookies, and delete them all.
• The picky way: Search for your Google cookies and look for this
javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com");
and delete it.
Once you are done, go back to Google Search and enjoy the old. [How to Try the New Google Search]

Confirmed. The rumors about Google's redesign are true, and you can try it for yourself with a very simple method.
1. Go to Google.com.
2. Once it loads, enter this code into your web browser's URL address field:
javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com");
There shouldn't be any http://google.com in front of that. Just that code.
3. Hit enter.
4. Reload or open a new Google.com page and you will have access to the new user interface.
It's fast and sweet, although the changes don't affect all the available sections. [Thanks Matt Karolian]
