Unreal Engine 3 is a reality on Android

nVidia, historic video card manufacturer and chipset, is doing for some time to talk about themselves for a product outside of the field in which we are used to locate it. The company, in fact, after a first "experiment" could not objectively, is back with new Tegra processor 2.

We have already mentioned, being the platform that equips the Compal prototype based on Android 2.0, but what is surprising, beyond the characteristics of paper, are the real potential of the CPU nVidia. No talking, in fact, only a very good job with regard to consumption and die size, but the performance that the Tegra 250 can give you.

In addition to encoding / decoding of HD streams, management of several audio formats, support for up to 12 megapixel CCD sensor, the Tegra will interface perfectly with the Open GL libraries, with their natural evolution ES 2.0, promises to excite in the also to the 3D mobile platforms.

Epic Games, in collaboration with the Nvidia labs, having brought their own Unreal Engine 3 on iPhone and iPod is preparing to land on Android for the moment the news remains fragmentary, but the video was shot at the CES 2010 allows you to appreciate the "muscles" that hides Tegra, thanks to the heart of dual-ARM Cortex-A9, you can enjoy on mobile platforms in the multi-texturing, lighting effects in real time, a more realistic physics and, consequently, a graphic breathtaking.

The chip supports a number of optimizations for power consumption that provide a range of highly respected, both by scaling the clock as the voltage, according to allegations made by nVidia, should be insured up to 140 hours of audio playback and 16 hours HD video. These estimates are, as always, be taken with care since they are in very close relation to the optimization work to be done for all other components, radio equipment in the first place.

In a not too distant future we might see the HDMI port on our Android, and thus enjoy showing them videos shot directly on high-definition television. But beyond the simple projection, the fact that Tegra2 supports hardware decoding VC1 format opens up new hopes for the cameras and the software that accompanies the terminal Android, providing better results for quality and compression.

Yep! It seems that the path to Android 2.0 on Galaxy has been successfully undertaken. Samsung ufficialmmente not, but thanks to the relentless work of developers, we are very close to seeing a "dream" realized: Eclair 2.0 on Samsung i7500 Galaxy.

The update is bare or naked in the Eclair is a version with only the applications and google app Android system. But of course everything is functioning and multilanguage.

It’s nice to finally see the voice call on Galaxy, the new release system screen (do not use this rom with the side key, but the power button) and the New Market with screen shots of applications!

As mentioned above the Roma is an alpha and not worth the time to put it anyway because it is not usable under normal conditions. It is in fact still slow and with a few bugs to fix.

The telephone interface has changed of course:

as well as the part of the settings:

Do not just have to wait before you can share the beta forums and in blogs. At the moment did not mention it there because the update (possible via odin) would only be an unnecessary risk.

A 2010 started well for the Galaxy, which we hope will soon give us new surprises and a final rom 2.0 Eclair fast, stable and fulfilling all the requests made by users.

LA PLAYSTATION (psx) SU WINDOWS MOBILE

Some of you familiar with the project FPSCE ? .. As time has gone, how long will we have tried to use it and optimize it since the first handheld and the first release of this project which allows in practice to emulate the glorious playstation on our windows mobile devices . Handheld computers have evolved and version 1.0, after a long confinement, apparently in the finishing straight.

Dawid cats admin pda.pl already several days ago we reported it we were waiting and hoping to publish the link to download latest version. This has not happened yet so in the meantime we will show you some videos. Boys modaco had the opportunity to test the beta 1.0. If the earliest version we tested was almost unusable ( the games were too jerky and the displays of handhelds were not equal to those of today ), now these are the words of the beta test that riposrtiamo directly: " I got the beta version yesterday evening, and …. my god, it’s just amazing !" Games running up to 60 frames per second.

-New wondefull menus with a lot of features (you can see it in the 1st video), very esay mapping of a bluetooth gamepad, sound volume, xda volume, mem cards, etc
-full compatibility with pocket iso. More, roms made with pocket iso have a perfect sound!
-Full color videos!
-Many games running at 60fps without frameskip!
-Frameskip is much more efficient, setting it on 7 allows to reach 40fps with the few slowest games, most of the time without lagging to much
-increased compatibility, for example Final Fantasy 9 fully working, 60fps with no frameskip, perfect sound, perfect colors!

HERE for example in a thread on XDA is talking about his work with the HTC Diamond but many have also tried on the Touch HD or omnia quietly.

What can I say .. It took years but finally we can play wipeout or other games of the glorious past on our latest Windows Mobile handhelds …

Applicazione: pkt Auctions E-Bay

Who uses the well-known e-commerce site can not do without this application that allows you to control your personal page E-bay using your handheld Google Andorid.

In reality the program in question would do much more, such as searching for objects using the convenient search engine, but unfortunately this and other program features are not compatible because they use (for now) with only three countries ( Germany , England and USA ), so if we decide to do a search there will be shown the results exclusively to one of these three nations.

We look forward to an update of the program because there are really interesting and useful functions, such as, the ability to use the barcode reader. We can make the photo the barcode of a book or a CD and the program will make a rapid search on eBay to find all auctions on that object.

That said, the program can still be safely used to control our personal page, we will then check the objects that are keeping an eye on, to make an offer, or check our items for sale were purchased. Excellent system notifications will warn us that if an object is about to expire.

In conclusion we would like to recommend this application, which can be exploited only 50% but allows complete control over items that we sell or we are checking.
