最受欢迎的10大android应用程序

根据medialets的最新统计结果,android最受欢迎的10大程序是

  • Pac-Man by Namco
  • MySpace Mobile
  • The Weather Channel
  • ShopSavvy
  • Ringdroid
  • imeem Mobile
  • Shazam
  • Rings Extended
  • Bonsai Blast
  • Brain Genius Deluxe

游戏程序里面Bonsai和Brain Genius Deluxe上榜我一点也不奇怪,他们本身不是试玩版,而且质量很不错。特别是Bonsai,我是爱不释手。完了一会Pac-Man,没搞清楚操控,就pass了。改天再试试。

我更加关注android市场上的读书软件,尤其是pdf读书软件。关于文本书,我觉得熊猫读书不错,但是有的时候触摸操控经常会不小心导致进度条大幅度跳进,有点不爽,只好每次使用跟踪球。不过我看好熊猫读书,放到android市场上应该会有很好评价。

另外我还关注的软件是跟桌面同步的软件。市场上有一个和outlook 2007同步的软件,但是和其他版本的outlook同步有问题,很遗憾。

如何在G1上安装非Android Market应用程序

首先你必须有adb.exe工具(android SDK包中自带)。adb是android device bridge的缩写,可以将电脑上的android程序通过USB接口安装到手机上。我已经安装了整个SDK,所以我不知道是否单单提供adb工具就可以完成。你可以试试,这边是下载adb工具的链接

第二部是通过该链接获得G1手机的USB驱动。将它解压到任何目录下,比方说C盘根目录下(C:\android_usb_windows)。

在连接G1和你的电脑之前,你还要修改一些设置
选中
Application setting -> Development -> USB debugging

Application setting -> Unkown sources
然后取消
SD card & phone storage -> Use for USB stroage

修改完之后,你就可以通过USB将G1连接到你的电脑上。连上之后,会出现“发现新硬件"的对话框,你只要指定USB驱动程序的位置即可(C:\android_usb_windows)。这个过程可能会花一点时间...

当你看到成功安装HTC G1硬件对话框后,你就可以通过以下命令安装
adb install c:\com.netdragon.pandareader_signed_1.apk

My New Google Android G1 Phone

I just got the Android G1 phone from EBay, and the phone looks awesome. At the beginning, I opened the back cover with caution, and now I can open the back cover very quickly.

After begging for an activated TMobile SIM from one of my collegues, I was able to set up my G1 phone. After setting up the phone, I replaced the SIM with the unactivated TMobile SIM card coming with the phone, and I was able to use the Wi-Fi connection. So far, I only experienced G1 applications using Wi-Fi connections.

The browser on G1 is really amazing, and it renders a lot of pages that can't be loaded into the browser that is built into the BlackBerry.

There are several issues that concerns me:

  • I got a Bronze one and it is a little bit difficult to see the letter once the bakc light is on. So far, this is ok for me.

  • the GPS is not working very well. It is not very acurate and sometimes, it doesn't work

  • I can't manage to install G1 applications from Android Market. This really bothers me, because I am eager to try those applications.

  • ...


UPDATE: I was able to install G1 application from Android Market using Wi-Fi. I guess during the time when I tested, the network is not quite stable.

Unlock Your T-Mobile G1 Phone

I think a log of people who bought their G1 phone from EBay would love to unlock their new baby so that they can use G1 phone in different network. Here is the Unlock T-Mobile G1 Phone Site that provides you the unlock code based on your phone's serial number. Unfortunately, you have to pay $24 for the service, but it worths a try.
