Hasta La Gadget!

We knew it was planning to grace Europe and Asia with its presence this month, but now we’re hearing the Motorola Pro+ 4G is ready to make its North American debut at Bell Canada. We’re not seeing any large differences here compared to the overseas model, though the addition of “4G” to the title is an obvious exception. The device offers a 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, Android 2.3, a 5MP camera, 3.1-inch VGA (640 x 480) display with Gorilla Glass, HSPA 14.4 (hence the “4G” name) and a lot of Enterprise-friendly security features. We know it’ll be hitting shelves on November 7th, but no price has been announced so far. To find out the full shebang, head south for the press release.

Update: We’ve confirmed with an inside source that it’ll sell for $349.95, but there’s no word on whether subsidies will apply for long-term contracts.

In case you were still wondering, yes, the Galaxy Nexus is Verizon bound. We certainly didn’t need to see another signup page to tell us that, but if you find your way to Verizon’s mailing list form through the outfit’s own search bar, you might find an interesting banner: “Exclusively from Verizon,” it reads, “Galaxy Nexus.” Well, that certainly flies in the face of a certain FCC filing we’ve seen, not to mention Samsung’s own Galaxy Nexus signup page and all of our hopes and dreams. With any luck, the handset will still launch on multiple carriers, perhaps only landing on Verizon’s grid first. If old rumors hold true, however, Verizon customers won’t be the only folks seeing red on November 10th.

[Thanks, John]

Back in November when Google released their Android (open handset alliance project) Software Development kit, they announced a $10 million dollar contest at the same time. The whole idea behind the contest was to entice developers to develop applications for Android. It (the contest) was divided into two different challenges and the winners of the first challenge which included application submissions from January 2nd through March 3rd, have just been announced. In all, fifty developers each won $25,000 to help them build their app.

If you browse the list that Google posted, you’ll notice that there are only 46 names listed. At the bottom they explained that four of the winners decided they didn’t want the public to know quite yet what they were working on, so they opted to keep their work a secret for now. In all there were over 1700 submissions, so it must have been a lot of work for Google to narrow it down to just 50 winners.

While Google posted the list of winners, they didn’t provide any details about the applications. Android Phone Fan site Phandroid posted a list of the winners as well as details for some of them, if they were able to get them. Taking a look at the list, it looks like there are a few interesting applications in the works, although, I must say, some of them really don’t sound that intriguing. Additionally, looking through the list it didn’t look like there was much of a focus on gaming. Anyhow, here are a few that caught my attention:

• LifeAware– Mobile Tracking Service formed to help people be aware of where their friends and family are.
• Marvin – Marvin allows you to publish and browse geo-localized objects around you.
• TuneWiki – “Our goal is to have the lyrics always on, always available, always synchronized to music – on any device that can play music back and connect to the Internet.
• Writing Pad – ShapeWriter is an innovative, original, fun, and highly efficient method of entering text into touch screen mobile phones.
• AndroidScan – use your phone to scan a barcode, get pricing information from dozens of stores, product reviews and more

Come July, ten of the fifty winners will be awarded an additional $100,000 while another 10 will be awarded an additional $275,000 to further develop their applications.

Google has officially released Gmail Mobile so that users can access their email even when you are on the go! I use my cell phone for Internet all the time when I am traveling to and from school (riding the bus with nothing else to do). Just like when they do everything, they really took it over the top! You can read Microsoft Word documents and PDF files all through your mobile device. If you want to access it all you have to do is punch in “http://m.gmail.com” into your web browser and then bam! it’s there! If you don’t feel like pulling out your cell phone to see what it is like, then all you have to do is go to “http://m.gmail.com” in your normal web browser. It still works there but you really see how plain and simple it is! Give it a try! Google has been releasing a lot of stuff this holiday season so check back often while I go through the list.
