Firefox 4 for Android Review!!!

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 01:35 AM PDT


The mobile phone market has seen a serious changeover with the introduction of Android based smart phones and the change is slowly forcing older phones put of the market. The new phones are extremely potent in terms of functionality, gaming experience, useful applications, web browsing and a lot of other things which otherwise were lacking.
Out of all the qualities mentioned above the one finding maximum use is the Internet browsing one and with no surprise, developers from across the world have been working on providing the best browsing experience with some of the best browser applications like Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.
Mozilla Firefox has moved one step ahead and has released the latest Firefox 4 Mobile version on Android Market website recently which provides some improved features including:
  • Tabbed Browsing
  • Add On Compatibility
  • Synchronization With Computer Firefox Version
  • One Touch Bookmarking
  • Auto Hiding Controls
The above features are self explanatory but the synchronization feature is the most unique one as it would hardly 10 min to sync your phone browser with the desktop browser and then you can see all the tabs, bookmarks etc of your PC browser on your Firefox mobile. Isn’t it great ? If you say no then I would request you to think over again.

How To Sync Your Firefox Mobile Browser With PC Firefox Browser

The Firefox sync feature shares the bookmarks,passwords, settings, history and tabs of course and the following steps will guide you through the procedure.
  • On your desktop browser click the Firefox button on the top left corner and go to options and then click on the sync tab.  Further create a new account with a valid email id, password and a SYNC key which has to be kept secret.
Android Mozilla Firefox BrowserMozilla Firefox We Browser Android1
  • Once you are done with adding all the details and noting down the key, the next window asks you to enter text so as to confirm that you are not a robot and after all this just click the finish button and the first part ends there.
  • Next important step is to sync your phone browser, for which you need to swipe on the screen after opening the browser and then going to the preferences. Under sync section, click connect after which a code will be displayed.

  • Lastly it’s the part where the you have to create a connection between your device and your desktop. Once the sync on the browser is completed the Sync tab in the same, instead of showing the Set Up Sync option will now show let you decide what you wish to sync i .e. tabs, bookmarks etc. Just above the section you would see ADD A DEVICE option. Click on it and add the code that you had noted down from you phone browser and then finish the setup.

  • This will be it and you are done with the Sync process. In case you are not near you computer you can also click on I’m not near my computer option provided on the browser window where the code was provided.

Note: – The key provided by your desktop browser needs to be kept secret and is non recoverable. SO we would recommend you to save it at a safe place.

Amazon Cloud Drive!!!

Cloud computing, is one of the technologies which is revolutionizing the technology these days and after reading the news mentioned below you will also agree with me. Amazon is ready to provide you a space of 5GB for free; you must have got the idea of the news after taking a look at the title of the post. You need not to worry about keeping the music files on your system; rather you can use that space for storing something confidential on your system. Just take a look at the post to get to know more about this cloud space offer.

Amazon has started to offer 5GB space to all the users for free, but if you are not satisfied with this space and you wish to extend this space by more space like 20 Gb or 50GB then you will have to pay $20 and $50 respectively per year and if you still lots of more space than the previous one, then they have got a deal for you which is worth $1000 per year for every Terabyte. Let me tell you about a punch in this whole information, if you go for buying a Music album from Amazon then your cloud space will be upgraded to 20 GB and I think that it’s a great deal.
You just have to get an Amazon account and then you will be able to get that 5GB space. If you have got some of the music on that cloud space, then you can go for playing that music from the Amazon Application for the Android but till one iOS users cannot get this feature for them. I think free 5GB space will be very much helpful for the users who tend to keep most of their documents online which can help them to access it from anywhere in this world. Just click the link mentioned below to go for registering for the cloud drive.
So, go on sharing this piece of information with your friends and then please let us know about your own views and suggestion or if you have got anything new related to this post then just put them down in the comments sections and we will be glad to share it with all the readers on your behalf (if we found it genuine and useful). I am sure that this will really help you to work intelligently on internet. So, keep reading and surfing!!!

    Most of us have physical alarm clocks beside by our bedsides, or an alarm feature in our mobile phone. But if you like to wake up in style, you can convert your Mac OS X machine (MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini/Pro) into a giant alarm clock.
    Pester is a minimal, free app that allows you to easily set alarms on Mac OS X. Not only can you set alarms, but also reminders for tasks/events. This feature can come in handy for people who do not like taking their hands off their keyboards once in place. Although a phone makes more sense as a reminder device (as it is always with you) but for some purpose-specific tasks such as online payment of bills or updating apps on your Mac, an alarm on the machine itself makes more sense.

    Pester provides you just the right amount of features you need in an alarm clock app. Some of them are:
    • Timer – If you’re taking a sample paper at home and want to time yourself, Pester is the quickest way to countdown and alert you when your time is up.
    • System Sounds and Custom Music – You can use any of the standard Mac OS X alert sounds such as Glass, Ping, Morse or Purr, or set your own favorite music for the alarm.
    • Pop Up Message Display – When your alarm goes off, a pop up message appears that floats above all other windows and is persistent across Spaces so that you don’t miss an alarm. You get a snooze option right from the pop-up.
    • Growl Support – Pester can use the Growl notification system to generate a standard notification when your alarm goes off.
    • Persistent Dock Notif – Pester stays in your dock until the alarm goes off, and displays a countdown timer until the next alarm.
    Pester indeed is true to its name: once you set an alarm, it will pester you incessantly until the alarm goes off.

    Mobile Applications!!!!!!!!

    Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:31 AM PST


    Are you the owner of a fully touch screen Nokia mobile phone or have you ever used one for an appreciable time? What is the most annoying thing about such phones? Although the problem is not big enough yet it is considered as one because of the fact that it troubles people sometimes.
    We are talking about the keypad lock of such phones which most of the users like us forget to activate in situations of hurry. Sometimes it is our carelessness which leaves the keypad unlocked and prone to possibilities of getting touched not by our own fingers but by things around it. So when we put the phone with an unlocked keypad in our pocket or any bag, the phone is likely to come in contact the surrounding and such touches eventually open unwanted apps or the messages or dial numbers and a number of other things.
    Scr000005Scr000007Scr000006
    Ironically such unwanted activities explore your phone more than you do and sometimes even amaze us by opening windows which were unexplored otherwise. So can we do anything to avoid such minor troubles ? Well we can and impressively, without pressing any button. Yes you get me right. PocketLock is an app developed by Nokia specifically for touch phones which lets you lock the keypad every time you put it in compact spaces like you pocket or bag and importantly you need not press the lock button.
    The app even starts automatically when the phone is switched on and runs in the background all the time. The interface literally is the simplest one and powerful enough to impress you. How it works?  The time you put the phone in a closed space it senses  it and locks the keypad and the moment you pull the phone out, it unlocks it. Convenient enough?
    So what are you waiting for, download it and bring your keypad problem to an end.
