The Concept Of Old Vs. New styling Swift

The concept of the new styling Swift is "dynamic and energetic." The new Swift inherit a glance where a short,compact body,broad seems to be full of energy.The track increased profile tires and larger diameter wheels enable better handling than the already acclaimed Suzuki Swift out.

The headlights are longer, wider and more radical back toward the front door.

New Swift has grown slightly in length (+90mm) with a 50mm increase in wheelbase

The taillights follow the design philosophy applied to lights and is well.New Swift grown slightly in length (+90 mm) with a 50 mm rear bumper wheelbase.It seem larger than the inside too

The Swift now has a more dynamic and offers a variety that its color Opening with silver accents around the dash car.It is characterized by a contrasting color elegant black and silver tone sharp. At these locations, they are made of fine silver detail looks bold, stylish black color.

Inside the car gets a brand new steering wheel and new buttons to it. The instrumentation is quite pepped with petrol readout.The digital variant of the return journey of about 20 liters km, compared to 17.9 kilometers per liter Certified Automotive Research Association of India. Similarly, a model of diesel supplies about 23.8 kilometers per liter, when the current 21 km per liter.

In the cabin, Suzuki’s expertise in compact-car space efficiency is reflected in proportions that optimize roominess and comfort. Notwithstanding the new Swift’s compact dimensions, there’s sufficient space for rear passengers and for luggage.Emissions are much lower as well; the new 1.2-litre engine with manual transmission produces just 116g/km on the combined cycle; representing a 24g/km or 17 per cent improvement over the 1.3. An optional automatic transmission will be available for the petrol engine from launch.

This will be the first major face-lift for the Swift since its launch six years ago. Pricing details of the new car was not shared by the company.The report shows that to install plastic fuel tanks, Maruti Suzuki India has tied up with Plastic Omnium in France, the world's largest producer of tanks plastic fuel as it is mentioned that the plastic fuel tanks are usually 25-35 percent lighter than conventional metal tanks. In addition to these sums to corrosion, durable, non-explosive and easily recyclable.

Previous Swift has been praised for nimble-feeling performance and management.With the new model, Suzuki realized an even stronger sense of nimbleness and greater stability by means of newly refined wide-tread, short-wheelbase dimensions, greater rigidity in the body and suspension mountings, and greater roll stiffness.

A high level of trust and driver control, the new Swift is an excellent range of security technologies such as well.In the cabin, Suzuki’s expertise in compact-car space efficiency is reflected in proportions that optimize roominess and comfort.

FUTURE HOMES

Video camera at entrance identifies visitors using facial recognition software. The facial recognition software of the future home will not only identify friends, but strangers as well. And the software in your future home will run the strangers face against a database of criminals and terrorists.
Toilets of the future will not only be heated, void of toilet paper, have a pleasing cleansing of the behind, but will also analyze stool samples for medical problems such as colon cancer and urine samples for teenage drug use or pregnancy issues.
Remote monitoring of the future home is already here, but also on your PDA or other handheld device you'll be able to manually override your future smart home's systems on the fly. Unexpected guests arriving, well, start that air conditioning early or open the door when the video facial recognition software detects their presents.
The future home will run off solar panels, wind turbines or both. Backup batteries may be used or an electrolyzer, compressed hydrogen and a fuel cell may also be used as backup power. Extra hydrogen and electricity will be produced and stored so you can fuel up and recharge your hydrogen fuel cell plug-in hybrid electric car, which is the future car you'll most likely be driving.
The future home will also have smart appliances as well. Ovens, microwaves and refrigerators will be combined and automated so remote cooking will be a possibility so meals are prepared for one's arrival. Think this is science fiction. Check out the TMIO kitchen appliances for a start.
Future homes will also have refrigerators that will download recipes based upon what it is stocked with and what is in your pantry. The recipes will then be forwarded to you. In the home of the future, the refrigerator will also take inventory of all food supplies in the home and alert you when you're running out. The refrig may also be programmed to contact the local supermarket to drop off the needed food supplies.
Future homes will also be very energy efficient. Microsoft, Google and others are now working on applications that tie into the smart grid for individual home so that you will be able to visually see and track which appliances use the most electricity, where heating and cooling is escaping in from one's home and how you can produce more energy with your solar panels or wind turbines.
In the future home there will be a vast neural networking system connecting all appliances, TV's, PC's, video, security and remote handheld or Bluetooth-type devices. There will also be other green systems in place such as saving, purifying and reusing wash water and bath water. Plants and people may receive pure or mineralized drinking water.
Speech recognition will be far superior to Dragon Naturally Speaking or other programs and applied to this network. Besides facial recognition software, your future home may also combine speech recognition software, hand or fingerprint scanning or a combination of these security measures.

FUTURE IN ANDROID APPS DEVELOPMENT !!!!!!!!!

At Google I/O we announced our plans to add several new capabilities to help developers manage their products more effectively in Android Market. We’re pleased to let you know that the latest of those, multiple APK support, is now available. Multiple APK support is a new publishing option in Android Market for those developers who want extra control over distribution.

Multiple APK Support in Android Market

Until now, each product listing on Android Market has included a single APK file, a universal payload that is deliverable to all eligible devices — across all platform versions, screen sizes, and chipsets. Broad distribution of a single APK works very well for almost all applications and has the advantage of simplified product maintenance.

With multiple APK support, you can now upload multiple versions of an APK for a single product listing, with each one addressing a different subset of your customers. These APKs are complete, independent APKs that share the same package name, but contain code and resources to target different Android platform versions, screen sizes, or GL texture-compression formats. When users download or purchase your app, Android Market chooses the right APK to deliver based on the characteristics of the device.

When you upload multiple APK files, Android Market handles them as part of a single product listing that aggregates the app details, ratings, and comments across the APKs. All users who browse your app’s details page see the same product with the same description, branding assets, screenshots, video, ratings, and comments. Android Market also aggregates the app’s download statistics, reviews, and billing data across all of the APKs.

Multiple APK support gives you a variety of ways to control app distribution. For example, you could use it to create separate APKs for phones and tablets under the same product listing. You could also use it to take advantage of new APIs or new hardware capabilities without impacting your existing customer base.

Future-Proofing Your Apps

It's important to implement your application so that it will not break as new versions of the Android platform are loaded onto the users device. The list below is based on our observations of five ways that we've seen bad apps fail. You can think of these as "anti-patterns" (that is, techniques to avoid) for Android development.

If your application uses any of the dubious techniques below, break out your IDE and duct tape, spackle, and patch up the app.

Technique to Avoid, #1: Using Internal APIs

Even though we've always strongly advised against doing so, some developers have chosen to use unsupported or internal APIs. For instance, many developers are using the internal brightness control and bluetooth toggle APIs that were present in 1.0 and 1.1. A bug -- which was fixed in Android 1.5 -- allowed apps to use those APIs without requesting permission. As a result, apps that used those APIs broke on 1.5. If you've used internal APIs in your apps, you need to update your apps to stop doing so.

Technique to Avoid, #2: Directly Manipulating Settings

Strictly speaking this one isn't evil, since this is a change in behavior that we made to Android itself. But we made it because some developers were doing naughty things: a number of apps were changing system settings silently without even notifying the user. For instance, some apps turn on GPS without asking the user, and others might turn on data roaming.

As a result, applications can no longer directly manipulate the values of certain system Settings, even if they previously had permission to do so. For instance, apps can no longer directly turn on or off GPS. These apps won't crash, but the APIs in question now have no effect, and do nothing. Instead, apps will need to issue an Intent to launch the appropriate Settings configuration screen, so that the user can change these settings manually. For details, see the android.provider.Settings.Secure class, which you can find in the 1.5_pre SDK documentation (and later). Note that only Settings that were moved to the Settings.Secure class are affected. Other, less sensitive, settings will continue to have the same behavior as in Android 1.1.

Technique to Avoid, #3: Going Overboard with Layouts

Due to changes in the View rendering infrastructure, unreasonably deep (more than 10 or so) or broad (more than 30 total) View hierarchies in layouts are now likely to cause crashes. This was always a risk for excessively complex layouts, but you can think of Android 1.5 as being better than 1.1 at exposing this problem. Most developers won't need to worry about this, but if your app has very complicated layouts, you'll need to put it on a diet. You can simplify your layouts using the more advanced layout classes like FrameLayout and TableLayout.

Technique to Avoid, #4: Bad Hardware Assumptions

Android 1.5 includes support for soft keyboards, and there will soon be many devices that run Android but do not have physical keyboards. If your application assumes the presence of a physical keyboard (such as if you have created a custom View that sinks keypress events) you should make sure it degrades gracefully on devices that only have soft keyboards. For more information on this, keep on eye on this blog as we'll be posting more detailed information about handling the new soft keyboards.

Technique to Avoid, #5: Incautious Rotations

Devices running Android 1.5 and later can automatically rotate the screen, depending on how the user orients the device. Some 1.5 devices will do this by default, and on all others it can be turned on by the user. This can sometimes result in unpredictable behavior from applications that do their own reorientations (whether using the accelerometer, or something else.) This often happens when applications assume that the screen can only rotate if the physical keyboard is exposed; if the device lacks a physical keyboard, these apps do not expect to be reoriented, which is a coding error. Developers should be sure that their applications can gracefully handle being reoriented at any time.

Also, apps that use the accelerometer directly to reorient themselves sometimes compete with the system doing the same thing, with odd results. And finally, some apps that use the accelerometer to detect things like shaking motions and that don't lock their orientation to portrait or landscape, often end up flipping back and forth between orientations. This can be irritating to the user. (You can lock your app's orientation to portrait or landscape using the android:screenOrientation attribute in the manifest file.)

Best Android Phones In India

The year 2010 was all about the growth of Android. In 2011, analysts expect the Android OS to ‘explode’. In less than a year, Android handsets have grabbed a considerable share in the mobile market and they are still setting the sales chart on fire.The Best Android Phones available in India right now are –:

In India, where Symbian OS rules – Android has managed to grab a decent market share. Now, more and more people in India are realizing that the Android OS is the future of mobile phones and are buying anAndroid based phone for themselves. However, the Indian market is flooded with low-range Android handsets which totally spoil the Android experience. So, below is a list consisting of the bestAndroid phones available in India right now.

Samsung Galaxy 5

The only Android phone worth purchasing below the Rs. 10,000 mark is the Samsung Galaxy 5. The Galaxy 5 is a pretty ‘loaded’ handset which is pretty surprising for its price. The Galaxy 5 is powered by a 600 MHz processor and runs on Android 2.1 with TouchWIZ UI on top of it.

The handset also has a decent 2.8-inch 240×400 screen. The back of the phone sports a disappointing 2MP camera. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS, microSD card slot are also present. Even though the Galaxy 5 is a pretty cheap handset, it packs in HSDPA support. The Samsung Galaxy 5 is available in India for only Rs. 8869 and can be purchased from here. I would seriously recommend this handset to buyers instead of the other low-end Android phones like the Micromax A60.

HTC Wildfire

The HTC Wildfire is one of the most popular budget phones in India. It features a 3.2-inch QVGA (320×240) display. The handset is powered by a 528MHz processor and has 384MB of RAM along with 512MB of ROM. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS etcetera are all present.

Recently, HTC also started rolling out the Android 2.2 update for the handset in India. The HTC Wildfire is available in India for Rs. 13749. The HTC Wildfire is a decent Android phone to own but with considerably better competitors out there. Users who want to experience the HTC Sense UI should prefer this phone over the LG Optimus One. Readers can purchase the HTC Wildfire from here.

Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro

The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro is a power packed handset. The handset features a 2.55-inch display with QVGA display. The handset is powered by a 600MHz processor and has 128MB of internal memory. The X10 Mini Pro also packs in a slide-out QWERTY keyboard which is pretty remarkable for such a small form factor.

The handset runs on Android 2.1 with Sony’s proprietary TimeScape UI on top of it. Sadly, Sony Ericsson won’t be releasing any more Android updates for this device. The X10 Mini Pro is available in India for Rs. 15000 and can be purchased from here. A must buy if anyone in India is looking for a small form factor based Android phone with a decent QWERTY keyboard.

Samsung Galaxy 3

Before the LG Optimus One was launched, the Samsung Galax 3 was the best Android phone available within Rs. 15000. The Galaxy 3 features a 3.2-inch screen with an odd resolution of 240×400. The phone has a 667 MHz processor and 256MB of RAM along with 512MB of ROM. The usual Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS etcetera are all present.

The handset runs on Android 2.1 with Samsung’s TouchWIZ UI on top of it. Samsung will soon roll out the Android 2.2 update for the Galaxy 3. The Samsung Galaxy 3 is available in India for Rs. 11500 and can be purchased from here.

LG Optimus One

The LG Optimus One is the best Android phone available in India for below Rs. 15000. For a budget mid-range phone, the Optimus One packs a 3.2-inch HVGA display, a 600MHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 170MB of internal memory. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm jack and a microSD card slot are all present.

The back of the phone sports a 3.15MP camera with auto-focus. The phone is powered by a 1500mAh battery which will make sure that the phone will easily last through a day.

Even though the Optimus One is a budget oriented Android phone, it runs on Android 2.2. LG has even announced that the Optimus One will officially get the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update. The LG Optimus One (P500) is available for Rs. 12500 in India. Readers can purchase the LG Optimus One P500 from here.

HTC Desire

The HTC Desire is very similar to the Google Nexus One. The handset features a 3.7-inch AMOLED display, a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM. The back of the phone sports a 5MP camera. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS etcetera are also there. The HTC Desire is an old handset now but it is available in India for around Rs. 23000 now.

At this price, the Desire is a truly desirable handset. Readers who want to purchase the HTC Desire can do so from here.

HTC Desire Z

The Desire Z is one of the best Android handsets available in India to sport a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Unlike other high-end Android phones, the processor of Desire Z runs at a ‘mere’ 800 MHz. However, this does not make the phone a slow couch and it is able to beat all the older generation Snapdragon phones in performance easily.

The slide-out QWERTY keyboard of the handset is also pretty good and is one of the main attractions of this phone. The Z packs in 1.5gig of internal memory and 512MB of RAM. The back of the phone sports a 5MP camera with an LED flash which is capable of recoding 720p HD videos. The Desire Z runs on Android 2.2 with the latest version of Sense UI on top of it.

The Desire Z is available in India for Rs. 25899. Readers interested in buying the Desire Z can buy it fromhere.

HTC Desire HD

HTC recently released the Desire HD in India. The handset is made up of a single block of aluminum and has a very premium feel to it. The Desire HD sports a mammoth 4.3-inch display along with 768MB of RAM and 1.5gig of internal memory. The handset is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and packs an Adreno 205 GPU. The back of the phone also sports an 8MP camera along with dual-LED flash.

The Desire HD has been packed to the brim with features from HTC but sadly, the company has skimped on the battery of the handset. The handset is powered by a measly 1230mAh battery which will see this handset barely make it through a day.

Still the HTC Desire HD is a very good phone and is available in India for Rs. 27899. Readers who are interested in buying the Desire HD can do so from here.

Samsung Galaxy S

The Samsung Galaxy S has been one of the most popular Android phones last year. The handset features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor and a PowerVR SGX540 graphics core. The Super-AMOLED display on the handset has stellar contrast and viewing angles. Samsung had launched the Galaxy S with Android 2.1 on board but recently rolled out the Android 2.2 update in India.

The phone also sports Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, microSD card slot, and 16GB of internal memory including 2GB of ROM for installing all your apps. The Samsung Galaxy S retails for around Rs. 26000 in India right now. The back of the Galaxy S packs a 5MP auto-focus camera while the front has a VGA camera for all your video calling needs.

The downsides of the Galaxy S include a plasticky build quality and no LED flash to assist the 5MP camera. The combination of killer internal hardware, screen and pricing make the Galaxy S the best Android handset available in India right now. The Samsung Galaxy S is available in India for Rs. 27999 and can be purchased from here.

So which is your favorite Android based phone in India? Do let me know through your comments.
