Offical google voice app coming soon.

Third-party apps be damned as Google is getting ready to launch the official Google Voice application for both Android and BlackBerry platforms. We knew it was coming of course — it was just a matter of when. The news comes straight from the mouth of Google Voice’s Vincent Paquet who says the application will not only allow Google Voice users to place calls on their devices and have recipients’ calls display the Google Voice number, but it will also make it possible to view voicemail transcripts within the application as opposed to through the mobile web. Unfortunately, no word on SMS integration. We do have to wonder when the company plans to finish off the massive backlog of invites and maybe even open the service up to the public. Oh and while GV Mobile has done a terrific job of tiding us over on the iPhone, we’re definitely anxious to see if Google can match its functionality or even exceed it (push notifications for SMS and voicemails?) with its own app.

Manup's My Hero

That's right people The "Don" is at it again this time he took on a whole other beast, he's whipping up a Insane Mod Rom of the hot "Hero" Rom that's just performance starved, lagg filled, and bug infested. He's taken his superior Graphics Designing Skills and putting them towards the Hero/Rosie cause. Which in my opinion is desperately needed, So sit tight get your sd card's formatted and ext2 ready for the next HOT rom!! A link will be added as soon as possible!

HTC Hero Promo Video

The “Rosie” homescreen, with its distinctive new clock and control bar along the bottom of the screen, makes several appearances. The multiple homescreen pages, plus widgets like music control, are also shown, before the video demonstrated mapping and motion-sensitive controls.

Finally, there are a full seven HTC Hero devices, each in glossy candy-colors: pale green, pink, yellow, red, black, turquoise and white. Anybody know any more about the origins of the video?

Canonical Developers Aim To Get Android Apps Running On Ubuntu

Canonical are currently working on a prototype Android execution environment that will enable Android apps to run on an Ubuntu system. The Canonical developers unveiled the software at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Barcelona. Canonical eventually plan to publish the environment's source code to the Linux community in an effort to help build momentum around the project and accelerate development. Along with being both beneficial to end users and hardware manufacturers, the ability to use Android software on a conventional Linux distro may also help to bolster app development thanks to the increased portability of the Android applications.

Motorola Heron heading to AT&T

Well the guy's at AT&T are working over time to keep up with the Jones buy dropping the second phone running android. The first is the lancaster from HTC which i showed a few days back. Now there is this motorola heron which looks to be there more affordable one of the two. In the specs i seen something about the browser running Internet Explorer 6 which puzzles me being that google now has there own web browser called Chrome which i thought would have fitted the android O.S better.
