Check out: "App review: Seamless for iOS and Mac (video)" - www.engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/30/app-review-seamless-for-ios-and-mac-video/?icid=engadget-iphone-url 
If you're the kind of person who's always listening to music and wouldn't be caught dead headphone-less, pause that song for a quick second and check out Seamless. This lightweight app links your iPhone's Music player to iTunes on your Mac in a pretty clever -- not to mention Cupertino-esque -- fashion. The whole crux of it is the "transition," which simultaneously fades out a song on one end while bringing it to full blast on the other. All it takes to get started is a quick $1.99 download for your i-device and free Mac-centric companion app. Does it work as advertised, or is it really just a gimmick? Head past the break for a quick rundown of just how seamless this utility really is.
We gave Seamless a go, and for the most part it works as advertised. Once both devices are on the same wireless network, you add your Mac from the Seamless settings menu, and that's really all there is to it. You can start a song on either end and have it continue on the other -- the transition works perfectly both ways. All it takes to make the magic happen is a tap of the "Transition Music from / to Mac" button. One major limitation, however, is that the same track must be present both on the iPhone (duh) and on the corresponding Mac. We'd love some sort of reverse AirPlay solution that would let us play directly from iPhone to a Mac as our output, but for now this is the closest we'll get. Oh, and we should mention it's only available for Mac -- sorry PC users.
There's a definite cool factor to hearing a track fade out on one source while fading in on another, and since they're synced it doesn't sound janky or cheap. We still don't have that Continuous Client for messaging and networking we've been waiting for, but this could definitely be described as something similar for music. Seamless is certainly a cool concept and it behaves as described, but we just wish it had a more native implementation. Being able to hit a "transition" button from within the iPod app -- or better yet, in the iOS task switcher -- isn't that much of a stretch, and maybe Apple has something in the cards for iOS 5. Still, if you're a major music lover who just can't stand cutting songs short, you may want to head on over to the iTunes Store link below and experience it for yourself.

Your Friend is sharing the "Qualcomm shows off MSM8660's slick video performance on development kit (video)" article with you.
Check out: "Qualcomm shows off MSM8660's slick video performance on development kit (video)" - www.engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/02/qualcomm-shows-off-msm8660s-slick-video-performance-on-developm/?icid=engadget-iphone-url 
If you've been closely tracking the development of Qualcomm's 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8660, you would've already seen AnandTech's impressive set of benchmark results back in early April. But of course, it'd be more convincing to actually see this chipset in action, so Qualcomm's latest videos of its Mobile Development Platform should satisfy your curiosity. As demoed after the break, this Snapdragon's Adreno 220 is seen effortlessly handling in-page HTML5 video streaming, Flash video streaming, and 1080p playback. And as a sideshow, Qualcomm even put its current-gen single-core QSD8255 head-to-head with a rival dual-core chipset -- no doubt a Tegra 2 in an LG Optimus 2x -- and easily won the Flash video contest. All of this might lure you into getting the MDP as your next everyday phone, but here's the bad news: this professional kit will cost you a dear $1,350. So unless you're feeling very generous, you'd probably want to wait for the consumer devices to arrive in the summer -- think EVO 3D, Sensation (with GSM-flavored MSM8260, naturally), Flyer, and TouchPad.

The BB OS 6.1 update that grew too big for its name has just been made official by RIM as BlackBerry OS 7. Its ambassador into the wide world of smartphones will be the newly minted BlackBerry Bold Touch, which is expected to arrive "this summer." What can you look forward to? The user experience is promised to be both easier and faster, voice-activated searches are available for content both on your phone and the web, and the browser has been "significantly enhanced" with new features like a JIT (just-in-time) JavaScript compiler and HTML5 Video support. BlackBerry Balance is also part of the new OS, allowing you to compartmentalize your personal and professional lives into neat and separate piles of content.

New Verizon Casio Android Smartphone Ruggedized for Hospital Use
New Verizon Casio Android Smartphone Ruggedized for Hospital Use
Casio and Verizon Wireless have announced the G'zOne Commando rugged Android 2.2 smartphone primed to withstand working environments such as hospitals, construction sites and factory floors.
Casio and Verizon Wireless have introduced a rugged Android 2.2 touch-screen smartphone suitable for harsh working environments in verticals such as health care, construction, retail, manufacturing and transportation.
The G'zOne Commando conforms to the rugged MIL-STD-810G military standard for durability.
Its 1mm-thick tough glass and bumper edges allow the unit to withstand some drops, and the unit can survive temperature extremes ranging from 185 degrees to -13 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 96 hours.
The device can also handle environmental conditions such as heavy dust, salt fog, solar radiation, shock, humidity, vibrations and liquid immersion.
Security features provided through Microsoft's EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) allow users to encrypt data in transit, remotely wipe information, enable device inactivity timeout and set password complexity.
The G'zOne performs enterprise tasks such as downloading blueprints, files and pictures and managing a field force. It also allows workers to access inventories and capture signatures.
The device runs the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and operates on Verizon's 3G/EV-DO network. In addition, it serves as a WiFi hotspot for other devices. The unit doesn't support 4G connectivity, however.
It operates in eight modes, including Earth Compass and Walking Counter, which tracks steps, distance and energy consumption.
Trip Memory allows users to keep track of outdoor activities and share the information with contacts on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Other modes allow users to run a variety of virtual components, such as tracking a tide's ebb and flow, displaying thermometer readings in Celsius and Fahrenheit for multiple locations, as well as tracking the location of the sun, moon, stars and constellations using GPS.
The unit weighs 5.4 ounces, measures 5.1 by 2.6 by 0.6 inches and features a 3.6-inch WVGA display. It also features XT9 and T9 trace input for efficient typing.
In addition, G'zGear software allows users to navigate outdoor environments, while using Triple Sensor technology to keep track of direction, acceleration and temperature.
The G'zOne also incorporates a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus, LED flash and video capture. Plus, it comes with 1GB of flash memory and 512MB of RAM.
Verizon will offer the G'zOne starting April 28 for $199.99 with a two-year customer mobile service agreement. The carrier's unlimited data plans start at $29.99 per month.
Other leaders in rugged mobile devices for harsh environments include Motorola, Motion Computing and Samsung.
In January, Motion Computing announced its rugged CL900 tablet for verticals such as health care and retail, and T-Mobile carries the rugged Motorola Defy Android smartphone on its network. The Defy's 3.7-inch touch screen is resistant to water and scratches.
Meanwhile, Samsung's line of rugged Rugby phones on AT&T are also marketed to verticals in tough working environments. The Rugby II is a 3G two-way push-to-talk device suitable for extreme temperatures, shock and vibration.
