How to reset the Google User Account on an Android phone without doing a “Factory Data Reset” if you need to login as another user:

Settings > Applications > Mannage applications

1. Click “Gmail” > click “Clear data”

2. Click “Gmail Storage” > click “Clear data”

3. Click “Google Apps ” > click “Clear data”

Do the above step to all the Google apps you have in the “Mannage applications” menu. Next time you open Gmail you will get the “Set up your Google account” screen and as a result you can login with another user.

7 User Experience Lessons from the iPhone
internal presentation, given in mid January 2007, to introduce our newly formed user experience group to the development team.

Mobile takes the web back to the 90s
Does this mean that mobile internet is effectively 8 years behind the web as we know it today?

Certainly the content that can be delivered is basic. I am sure if we scour the industry we can still find some die-hard HTML coders to build these sites. I am sure designers can be prized away from Flash to build some basic 16 colour designs.

Mobile phone use increases tumor risk
The current study showed, according to an Israel newspaper, that people used mobile phone for more than 22 hours per month faced 50 percent increased risk for a parotid gland tumor.

Why The Mobile Web Had Such A Terrible Start
First attempts by mobile phone manufacturers to mobilize the web were a big disappointment for quite a number of reasons. In the fixed line world the web got an incubation time of at least a decade to grow, to be refined and to be fostered by researchers and students at universities before being used by the public who already had sufficiently capable notebooks, PCs and a reasonably priced connection to the Internet. In the mobile world, things were a lot different when first web browsers appeared on mobile phones around the year 2001.

JupiterResearch Finds Creating Better Browser Alternatives Would Stimulate Mobile Internet Adoption
“Browser alternatives such as widgets or applets, which are mini applications that allow for content to be easily accessed from a home screen or with just a few clicks, can meet consumer demands for quick access to information,” said David Schatsky, President of JupiterResearch. “The goal should be to engage the user through ease of operation so that accessing information in this manner will eventually become second nature.”

Nokia sees HD video on cellphones in a few years
Video recording on cellphones is set to reach high definition (HD) quality in a few years’ time, an executive at the world’s top cellphone maker Nokia said on Wednesday.

“It’s coming. Technically, we are a couple of years away,” Nokia’s Chief Technology Officer Tero Ojanpera told Reuters in an interview. “It’s still a few years away.”

Google’s Android targets iPhone power
London’s role is to come up with brilliant new ways to use the internet on a mobile phone. European mobile internet may not be mass market yet, but users here are leagues ahead of their American cousins. Which makes the UK one of the best places to test new products and find software developers who understand the medium.

Det næste skridt for nettet er at blive mobil
“Det næste skridt for nettet er at blive mobil – det ved alle, og det er derfor næsten banalt at påpege,” siger Nokias vicepræsident Anssi Vanjoki.

Over halvdelen af tiden bruges derimod på at surfe eller chatte over nettet, 16 procent af tiden bruges på multimedier og 14 procent går på kalenderfunktioner og håndtering af aftaler.

Apple boosts iPhone CPU clockspeed with iPhone v1.1.2 firmware update
It seems all the updates hidden within the v1.1.2 firmware are more geared towards stability, security, and speed. In this case, the v1.1.2 update boosts your iPhone’s CPU clockspeeds by about 12Mhz and system bus speed by 3Mhz.

Mobile phones are lifeline for the homeless
While we’re on the subject of improving lives with mobile technology, apparently homeless people are also increasing using mobile phones. As a matter of fact, a mobile phone is considered a “critical tool in getting off the streets.” Without a phone number where they can be reached, filling out applications for jobs or housing is often useless for the homeless.

Windows Mobile – it’s a man’s world
A study conducted by Microsoft found that only 14.6% of the Windows Mobile users are women, 85.4% of users being of the male persuasion.

Lag bedre mobiler
Hollywood-produsent Lucas Foster bannet kraftig i kjerka da han på Nokia World-konferransen i Amsterdam krevde bedre mobiler, før film og video på mobilen kan bli noen suksess.

- Mobilene må få et langt bedre brukergrensesnitt en i dag. Det skal være gøy å sitte å utforske og leke med mobilens muligheter, det er det ikke i dag.

iPhone browsing market share demonstrates usability drives use
Net Applications reports that in November 2007, iPhone browsing market share was 0.09% — nearly 0.1% — of all browsers in their sample. Now that may not seem like much until you compare it with the share for all Windows Mobile/Windows CE devices, which only tip the scales at 0.06%. Said another way, the approximately 2.5 million iPhones sold to date are being used about five times more than the nearly 7 million Windows Mobile phones sold over the past six years.

Don’t think this usability matters?

iPhones Take Over the Internet
We’ve always felt that the iPhone’s game-changing feature was its Web browser. Now we have proof: iPhone owners were responsible for nearly one out of every 1,000 Web page views last month. This erases any doubt that the future of mobile devices most certainly includes the Web.

It’s obvious that people have a need for Web access even when they aren’t at their desks or at home or wherever else they have a PC. We think that businesses could make their employees more productive by making sure that the mobile devices they give them have a full-fledged browser. We’re not saying companies should go out and buy everyone an iPhone – although if you do we’d love to hear about it. But presumably, it’s just a matter of time until an iPhone-like browser is a standard feature on mobile devices.

Mobile internet is the next battleground
The mobile internet is finally taking off, and will be an important part of Vodafone’s future. The company’s results last week showed a big jump in revenues from people using data functions such as web-surfing.

Google Pre-Launches New iPhone Interface
If you visit Google.com from an iPhone, you now get a menu of services to choose from – home (search box), Gmail, Calendar, Reader and More (docs, sms, goog-411, news, photos, blogger and notebook). It’s basically all of the core Google services, accessible from a single easy to use menu.

EA makes more money on mobile than on PS3 and PSP games
The latest numbers from Electronic Arts suggest the gaming giant made twice as much money from mobile as from PlayStation 3.

SAP Unveils Its First Software for iPhone
SAP is breaking with precedent by introducing versions of the new software that are compatible with the iPhone ahead of programs for mobile devices businesses traditionally use, such as Research in Motion’s Blackberry, Palm’s Treo and devices that run on software from Microsoft Corp.

“The iPhone has become such a popular thing,” said Bob Stutz, a SAP senior vice president who is responsible for developing customer relationship management software. “Everybody wants the ease of use of the iPhone.”

Kritikere har ellers hævdet, at iPhonen ikke var anvendelig som forretningsmobil. Men det mener SAP altså ikke.

Google Android gets positive early reviews
After downloading and examining Google’s Android software development kit, some software developers gave the platform favourable initial reviews and praised it as a breath of fresh air for an industry that has long been characterised by closed devices and software.

“What you see with platforms like Windows Mobile is that there’s more of a concentration on bringing Windows applications to mobile platforms,” says Evan Prodromou, a writer and programmer who lives in Montreal. “But it seems that what we’re seeing with Android is a ground-up approach to application development… It’s a pretty decent first effort. I’m going to guess that we’ll see a lot more refinement, but it’s a good start.”

Google teaches industry how to be open but closed
Anyone coming new to the mobile industry will immediately notice its love affair with the word ‘open’: Open operating systems; Open access; and of course Open source. Without exception, open is viewed as good and closed is bad, or even evil, depending on who¡¦s doing the evangelising. But the reality is that there’s a tremendous amount of inconsistency in how the word ‘open’ is employed in the wireless industry and it is far from clear-cut that open is always good. It can sometimes be bad.

One ironic, and quite amusing misuse of the word open is in the context of handset operating systems. The likes of Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm are frequently referred to as open OSes when they’re not open at all. In fact, they’re quite tightly closed. If you don’t believe me, ask Microsoft or Symbian for their platform source code and count the seconds it takes for the laughter to begin.

3G-telefoni forbedres med et trylleslag
Dækningen og kvaliteten af 3G-mobiltelefoner bliver med et trylleslag langt bedre, efter at EUs teleministre torsdag gav lov til at bruge dele af det almindelige mobilnet, GSM-nettet, til 3G-telefoni.

Ministrene nikkede dermed »ja« til forslaget fra EU-Kommissionen fra i sommer. Det er den såkaldte 900 MHz-frekvens, som i dag bruges til almindelige mobiltelefoner, som nu kan anvendes til 3G-telefoni.

Det giver øjeblikkeligt en 40 procent bedre dækning.

iPhonen er usikker. Hvis man hacker den.
Hvor N95 ofte er lidt træg i det, så er iPhone glidende og GUI’en oser af en potent grafik-chip, der er en generation foran Nokia.

Hvor Nokia tidligere har defineret hvad der er cool UI, så har Apple med iPhone (og iPod touch) redefineret scenen og er bare foran.

Jeg synes iPhone leverer et tiltrængt spring fremad for mobil-branchen. Den er fed – men kun interessant hvis man kan forcerer sikkerheden i den, for dette giver adgang til et fed device… som man måske selv kan holde sikker *host* *host*

Google byder ind på mobilnettet
Google meldte i fredags klart ud at man havde planer om at byde på 700 MHz-frekvensen, og det bliver ikke billigt. Prisen kickstarter på 4,6 milliarder dollars, og analytikere forudsiger at den endelige pris vil blive betydelig højere.

I den senere tid har Google for alvor begyndt at fokusere på mobilmarkedet – blandt andet med lanceringen af Android, som er en mobil platform.

»Forbrugerne fortjener mere konkurrence og innovation, end der er i den trådløse verden i øjeblikket. Uanset hvem der i sidste ende vinder auktionen, er den virkelige vinder de amerikanske forbrugere, som efter alt at dømme vil få flere valgmuligheder end nogensinde før til, hvordan de kan få adgang til Internettet,« siger Eric Schmidt.

Dansk Microsoft-boss: Der er jo intet nyt i Android
“Googles Android tilføjer ikke noget nyt til den mobile platform. Vi kan allerede det, som Google forsøger med Andriod,” siger Klaus Holse Andersen, corporate vice president i Microsoft Danmark.

“Derudover tror jeg, at Google vil få et stort problem med at få operatører og producenter til at benytte platformen,” lyder det fra Klaus Holse Andersen.
