Last week, I was very busy. I had not any time to track the news of Android. Today, I finally found some spare time to read the news about Android. I found the new HTC Android phone, Legend, is very impressive. I watch the hands-on video from Engadet. That is so greate new Sense UI and Android 2.1!!!! The most important feature is mult-touches!!!!

Finally, there is an offical Wordpress app for Android. But that is very similar with wpToGo,such as managing the comments and adding new posts. But it got a better interface and bit more features.

Comments

It got an tags interface,included Comments, Posts and Pages. That is much better than wpToGo. I remember it only can manage the comments and posts.

Posts

Pages

Those tabs are simple and clean. Moreover,long holding on the item will call its actions menu, such as approving the comments.

Also, same as wpToGo, you can add a new post.

Both of wpToGo and Wordpress App got a very similar interface in this section.
In conclusion, this app can allow the users to manage their wordpress blog in an Android phone and easy to use. I quite like their interface. But I am not sure whether that is my mobile network problem or the app can handle the xml files from the wordpress web services. The app is very slow. Maybe, it gets all comments and pages every updates(It should only get 5 or 10 latest items).

After Google released their first Google Phone, their Android Team will go to a world tour. The team will stop at the cities Europe, North America, and Asia. But No Australia! Maybe, our market is too small. I have seen a lot of people using iPhone, few people using Window Mobile. But I have seen very few Andorid users on the street in Australia.

You can jump to a new window by changing the content view.

Code:

But the type of Activity between two views must be same. In my case, I need to switch to a List view(Activity) from a normal window. I can't do by switching content views. The only way to do that is start a sub-activity, just like the following:

Code:

Yes, then it will jump to a new window, after the action completes, my code will call "finish();" from the sub-activity. Then it will jump back to the main window.

Google released their own branded phone, Nexus One. That is with 3.7" OLED screen and a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon. So, it should be super fast, may be faster than iPhone 3GS too. The most impressive function is voice enabled keyboard. Rather than typing, you can speak what you want to type in a textbox.
But that is an interesting point Nexus is manufactured by HTC. I am thinking wheather it is a Google Version HTC phone, same as Google I/O = HTC Magic.
