The Photos of LG P990 Super Smartphone Surface

The some snaps of the LG P990, the first Android based smartphone able of competing with the HTC Desire HD or SE X10  have appeared online.

The Photos that could be found on Androidforums.com show the LG Optimus Star in full information from what we know it'll come with a WVGA capacitive touchscreen and like the Advent Vega,will come with the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor which is a dual-core processor model.

It does not come with a kick stand on the back being used as a photo frame but it should come with Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread a HDMI port an eight-megapixel camera with flash, microSD support, the option to record full HD videos and a front facing camera.

An early benchmark result shows that it's significantly quicker than the Motorola Droid, the Galaxy S or the Nexus One and the gap is probable to grow even additional as the final version is shipped to the marketplace in the first quarter of 2011

Android Honeycomb Gets Caught Tinkering With The Performance Tests


Excellent news, everybody! Google's going to keep working on Android behind the upcoming Gingerbread (v2.3) release! Oh, we know that?


They are most likely going to codename the next build Honeycomb! Oh, we knew that too?

Here is one you possibly did not know: an early build (or 2) of Honeycomb just got spotted in several logs whilst someone (presumably a Google engineer) was testing its Adobe AIR performance.

A little of backstory: Android can run Adobe AIR apps. Adobe developed a tool called AirBenchmark which lets customers test just how well AIR runs on their respective Android handset and send those consequences back to Adobe, so that they know which handsets require work.

From there, we presently gotta dig roughly the results history page to surface some interesting gems. Take this one, e.g. it's at smallest amount according to the data pulled from the handset's ROM, a build of Honeycomb running on a Nexus One. There are at least 2  added builds of Honeycomb in there, also running on the Nexus One.

So what can we collect from this? Fine, it appears like at least one person at Google has Honeycomb up and running on their device but in fact, we possibly could have assumed as much. But, that they are testing it on the Nexus One is excellent news -at least for Nexus One owners. The Nexus One is most probably going to stop getting updates finally but currently,it does not look like Gingerbread will be its last.
