Google unveiled its hot new Android offering, the 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, at a press conference in Hong Kong Wednesday. And boy is it hot! It is offering a blend of amazing fresh looks, feel and functionality, filling in quite a few gaps in its predecessors.
The operating system, a mixture of both Android 3 Honeycomb, which was specific to tablets, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which served on smartphones, will power future forms of both smartphones and tablets. It will be coming out next month on the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which also got presented in the press conference. Though the phone itself didn’t excite me as much, Ice Cream Sandwich left me wanting to get my hands on it. Here are top five reasons I want to dig in:
User Interface:- Matias Duarte, Android head of user experience, said that he wanted Ice Cream Sandwich to feel enchanting, be easy to use and make the users feel smart. So he went ahead and overhauled the user interface, and seems to have hit the marks. The operating system offers virtual navigation buttons, eliminating the need for physical ones. The screen’s bottom now sports a favorite’s tray where you can drag and drop folders or apps to gain easy access. The notifications screen, which is now accessible from the lock screen, sports music player controls and icons for respective items. Now you can just swipe off notifications you are done with, or save any that you want to access later. The multitasking menu also allows you to swipe off apps to close them. The new calendar also supports swipe navigation and multi-touch pinch to zoom functionality, while the mail app now shows two-line previews, has a quick access menu bar and supports offline searching too. Widgets are now scrollable and re-sizable, and can be dragged and dropped to the home screen or onto one another to create folders.
Camera App:- Ice Cream Sandwich definitely boosts Android’s photo capabilities. For starters, the camera will be accessible from the lock screen. Android 4.0 has a new panorama mode to capture seamless panoramic shots. After that, it provides for new photo editing tools, allowing you to touch up, remove red eye, adjust angles and do more with your pictures, which can now be shared with any app. While shooting video, it provides abilities like time lapse, and zoom and capture images while recording.
Browser:- Google has done up the browser for the operating system. It now sports a drop down menu of options, including one to ask for the desktop version of a site if you don’t like the mobile one. Your bookmarks will sync automatically with Chrome, and you have the option to save webpages to read them offline. And you can have 16 different tabs open at the same time. And it has a new ‘incognito’ mode.
Data Usage:- Ice Cream Sandwich offers a Data Usage section in its settings that shows you how much data your device has used, and how much data each app has used in foreground or in background. The user can turn off background data access for specific apps, and set thresholds for usage warning or shutting off data access automatically.
Android Beam:- The operating system brings in a new feature, Android Beam, which uses Near Field Communication to share data between two enabled devices by just touching them together. You can easily share websites, contacts, maps locations, YouTube videos and apps via the technology.
October 30th, 2011 -- Posted in Currency Trading |
Forex trading refers to buying and selling of currencies of different countries, simultaneously or exchanging currencies of one country with that of another. The forex market is the oldest and the biggest in the world. Active 24x7x365 days per year, it is the market featuring the largest liquidity. There is no exchange center like we have for the stock market. This trade never halts and continues day in and out across the globe. The Dynamic Currency Market The currencies of the world hardly have a fixed rate of exchange. They are forever fluctuating. The currencies are traded in pairs like Dollar/Yen, Euro/dollar, and others. Most of the investments deal with US dollar against Japanese yen, US dollar against Swiss franc, Euro against US dollar, British pound against US dollar, and others. These are major currency pairs and also referred to as “blue chips” of the foreign exchange market. The fundamental principle of buying while low and selling while high provides profit in forex trading. There are no dividends on the currencies.
If you predict that the value of one currency would overshadow another, you can exchange the other one for the first currency and wait for the reward. If the market follows your prediction, you’re lucky and can reverse the transaction by exchanging back the currencies and grabbing profits. The daily turnover of the forex market is around $1.2 trillion! The prices here need no dramatic shift to fluctuate. This is unlike the stock market where fluctuations occur due to noticeable gaps. Besides, you have no problem entering or exiting this market. The Role Of FX Companies In forex trading, the transactions are done by FX brokerage companies that are also referred to as major bank dealers. Earlier, small traders had no chance to get involved in this inter-bank trading because of stringent financial requirements and minimum amount of transaction.
Only big traders, banks, and large currency dealers played the game of currencies. Their strength was the ultimate access to FX market, which featured a large number of primary exchange rates in world currencies, spectacular liquidity, and a strong pattern. Today, the scenario is different. Small traders, too, have a chance to buy small units. This has happened mainly because of the split up of big inter-bank units by brokers. Thanks to online firms offering FX rates, seminars on currency trading, and guidelines to beginners on this market, it is possible for first-time traders as well as small speculators to achieve big in this market. Now, you need not be a big company or a stalwart in trading to gain access to this market. Almost everybody can enter forex trading at the same exchange rates and price fluctuations, which used to be the privilege of major brokers. Market makers closely examine the exchange rates to make profit on the difference of currency rates on which they were bought and sold. The currency market is like a restless ocean where you can never know when a shark strikes you or a huge wave washes you out. However, this is also the same place where you can make a cool $100,000 out of a mere $1,000 investment by smart forex trading!
