Motorola recently announced the Flipout phone which is an Android 2.1 based smartphone with a square-shaped design. The Motorola Flipout is the latest mobile device in a line of Motorola phones attempting to push the envelope in style, interaction, and form factor by using innovative and sometimes outrageous-looking designs. Everyone all over the word pay attention to this phone, so do I. I got that this phone have the below main functions:
Design
As the latest MOTOROLA phone with Android system, MOTOROLA Flipout, takes the most attractive places is obviously not possess the function, and how the machine have square appearance and rotating design. Although this design is not the first, but the MOTOROLA Flipout has 45 keys in all the keyboard but truly unique similar type, add up to seven color selection machine, not only for young people reflects the positioning, and believe that will make many fashion expert at first sight. The Flipout goes one step further in its unique design and hides the QWERTY keyboard until you pivot the phone open—in the same manner you might fan out a deck of cards. Pivoting the Flipout open reveals a five-row QWERTY keypad with a separate row specifically for numbers, and transforms it from a tiny, pocket-sized screen to a full mobile phone. When closed, the Flipout measures just 67 x 67 x 17 mm and weighs only 120g.
Main features:
As a young people for the social cell phones, MOTOROLA Flipout has a good standard in the wireless network function. It is not only support GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA network, but also has Wi-Fi /WAPI wireless LAN users to function, let more ways to connect to the Internet. For other functions of mobile phones, MOTOROLA not only has GPS navigation and electronic compass function, as well as a traditional 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, with 512MB RAM, 256MB ROM and support bluetooth technology and memory expansion function, etc.
Like other social media services, Motoblur gathers incoming and outgoing feeds from your friends, emails, text and multimedia messages, and Facebook, Myspace and Twitter updates and events and combines them into a stream with continuous updates. Likewise, Motoblur merges your entire home and work contacts with corresponding information and conversations to let you see your interactions with each person in your address book. However, in addition to providing a stream of updates and organized correspondence, Motoblur also offers backups of your social data which is fairly unique among social networking services. Furthermore, the new enhanced version of Motoblur provides more direct control of the Happenings and Messages widgets, allowing you to filter out updates and messages that aren’t important to you so you’re left with the most relevant info about your friends and what is happening. Keep in touch with your friends via instant, text, and multimedia messaging or utilize corporate and personal email clients to send messages on the go, and then allow Motoblur to track your conversations to help you stay connected.
Additional Flipout’s multimedia features include a 3MP camera with digital zoom and KODAK PERFECT TOUCH technology for better, brighter pictures and gallery mode for tagging and labeling of photos. Along with the improved sound quality on calls, the Flipout features high-quality audio and video playback. With a 2.8” 320×240 TFT LCD screen, you can watch video clips and streaming video on the go, and FM radio support as well as support for common music formats allows you to bring your music with you. It supports playable formats: eAAC+, MP3, MPEG-4, H.264, AAC, WMA9, AAC+, AMR NB, WMA v9. But, I find a question; Motorola Flipout could not support all of video or audio formats. But, what should I do, if I have some files which Flipout could not support. I search it on Google and find good software – Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter which could help to convert your video files to MP4, AVI, WMV, MP3 and play on Motorola phone easily. Below I’ll share you how to use it!
Firstly, download this software and install it.
Step 1: Launch the program and Click "Add File" button to load source video files to be converted
Step 2: make settings: click “format” drop list to select “Motorola MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” as output video format. Set your video size and quality under the preview window.
Step 3: Click "Convert" button to start to convert video format.
After the file is converted, just transfer the file to the videos folder on your Motorola and enjoy your newly created video. Another, I know Nidesoft DVD to Motorola Converter could rip DVD to Motorola phone video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for MOTOROLA mobile phone users.
Additional features of the phone include full Google services including Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail and access to thousands of apps on the Android Market. The phone ships with a Li-Ion 1170 mAh battery that can provide up to 365 hours of stand-by time and up to 6 hours of talk time.
Summarize
After Backfip, MOTOROLA FLIPOUT is another personalized design with the Android system mobile phone, of an innovative square pivot design that opens to reveal a five-row QWERTY keypad with a separate row for numeric keys let’s easily remember it. Rich fuselage color also increased the favorable impression of good young users. In addition, FLIPOUT not only show the new construction of MOTOROLA stylist, but also let the Android system take a important step towards diversification
hello
, i'm glad for you read this article, and leave me a comment
Whats your BIG Chromecast idea? More potential than a "traditional" A/V streamer?
So I've seen many people, developers and users alike, swarming the ideas of the expected basic usages of this wonderful device.
Examples: Out-of-Box expected usage (streaming from qualified providers), mirrored A/V from PC/Phone/Tablet, other connectivity proof of concepts (IE: emulators), ect…
So my question is: What's your big idea to extend the usage of this device beyond "traditional" implementation?
I’ll start by sharing mine (actually 2 product idea’s, that could become 1 at some point in time).
1. All-in-one media station. Taking the concept of a HTPC/XBMC build, and extending it to have the Chromcast as the “presenter”, and the PC/Phone/Tablet as the “remote”. The software package would include a “media server” run on a compatible PC on the same network, accompanied by the “remote” app on the Phone/Tablet (web-based control for PC remote).
I intend to also include the ability to queue/control presentation files such as PPT, PDF, ect… I’d like to have the package useful to both home and business clients/users.
One of my favorite parts of this idea resides in the remote app. Upon selection of the media you intend to cast, use a 2-finger up gesture to begin casting (makes me think of the scene in IronMan2 when he takes over the monitors in the courtroom by using a similar gesture on his “phone”, lol) It’s the little things that get me excited haha.
2. A home automation/security media point. On demand or automated view of automation/security enabled objects in your environment. Example: You have a security system with camera’s in your home, specifically, one is mounted at your front door. Someone appears at your door (motion-trigger), and/or rings the doorbell (another available trigger). HDMI-CEC enabled TV’s would switch the input to the Chromcast and display the camera at your front door.
My brain begins to hurt as all the possibilities for automation and security integration pile up. But hopefully, you get the point.
I’d love to hear from some of the other inventive people on this forum, and interested in the Chromcast. Again, what’s your idea?
Android stick with a BT android remote with cheapcast
Low power consumption httpd, ircd, VPN, or ssh.
Sent from my One true love.
The one thing I'd love to see the chromecast do is be able to connect directly to my phone and use it's 4g for streaming. I would figure something like this should be possible since it's basically what it does during initial setup.
Due to the layout of where I work (big concrete building), I get great signal with my phone in the window, but no signal anywhere else. i'd love to be able to plug the chromecast into the tv during breaks and stream from the phone.

No during initial setup the chromecast generates its own wifi hostpost. Ofcourse this hotspot has no internet access and so would be useless for anything but setting up.
But why not make a hotspot with your phone? That would do the same thing.
I just want miracast support
Chromecast ideas
Chromecast supports multiple connections so could do things like a card game where player cards need to be private. The screen shows the playing field and each player sees just their cards on phone/tablet/computer. Is a simple example but there may be other uses to have multiple game play or interaction to same screen.
Chromecast and DIAL protocol are free to license so could be put into any consumer electronics device - SmartTV, refrigerators, home thermostat, etc.

That is quite an awesome idea! Granted, I see it as a similar setup that the WiiU has tried to do with some of their games. And MS also with the "second screen" for xbox and such.
But why shouln't google get in on this tech as well? I'm very interested to start investigating this idea myself. Mind if I borrow your idea xenokc? lol

MediaBrowser is more than a media manager. It's a powerful open-source platform that you can use to manage, view, play and control your media on most mainstream hardware...
MediaBrowser consists of a server and any one or more of many clients to view and manage your multimedia collection. You are able to enjoy your TV, Movies, Music, E-Books, Games* and Emulators* around your house in a wonderful 10 foot interface. (*games and emulators can only be run on a machine on which it is installed)
The MediaBrowser Android, WindowsPhone 7/8 and Windows 8.1 clients connect to your MediaBrowser server and allow you to consume your media anywhere you are connected. (Playback not supported on WP7, only library and remote functions)
Don't have MediaBrowser? Visit http://www.mediabrowser3.com/
But wait!? You said open-source? but this is in the paid section?
Yes, while the MediaBrowser server and other clients are built on free open-source systems, the android, and windows phone, and windows 8 client applications are not. These 3 clients are the only of many pieces that require any type of purchase to use, if you choose to do so. Read on, and find out about the many other free open-source parts of MediaBrowser.
Developers:
MediaBrowser is an open source project and welcomes developers from all coding backgrounds. If you are a developer and wish to get involved head on over to our github repository and check it out. https://github.com/MediaBrowser
Our plugin store allows developers to make free, premium supporters only, and paid plugins available to users. While MediaBrowser is free, it does support itself on a supporter key system, where for a small donation, users have access to premium and paid plugins, in addition to the free plugins. **Plugins are currently only available for MB server, MB Classic and MB Theater, but you just may be the developer to change that!
And a Linux/OSx mono based server is under development. If you are an experienced Linux/osx dev, and would like to help out or join our team please feel free to stop by this thread here!

So what exactly is MediaBrowser?
Media Browser, beginning with version 3, is no longer a single program. It encompasses a large suite of applications all communicating with a central server that manages your library.
No longer locked inside Windows Media Center, Media Browser can now bring your entire media library to not only all of the computers on your network, but also many of your portable devices. Whether it's the Roku in the living room, or your tablet on the back porch, Media Browser will bring your media right to you.
And, we mean right to you as the user profile feature allows you to set up completely different views and options on your library based on who is accessing it. Keep different display styles, parental control levels and watched and favorite status' for all the different members of your household and all of that information travels with the user no matter what client or device they are using.
Start watching something at home on the HTPC and pick it back up where you left off on your phone or tablet on the train.

A little History on MediaBrowser?
Some of you may remember VideoBrowser which eventually matured into MediaBrowser and was solely a Windows Media Centre Plugin which allowed a user to display rich and detailed information about their media collections much like other available media front ends. The benefits of using MediaBrowser were having Live TV readily available and a large media collection in the same application. It then started allowing themeing and plugins to enhance the media experience?
MediaBrowser has come on leaps and bounds within the last year or so. Firstly, it’s no longer confined to Windows Media Centre, it’s undergone a complete overhaul, complete recoding and opened up a world of new beginnings for the HTPC world, where the community is always listening to improve the MediaBrowser experience as a whole to the end user.

So What’s Changed? Out with the old in with the new!
MediaBrowser now has a brain, a central nervous system which uses its Server Application and currently runs on your Windows based PC or even your server(Linux/Mono server is currently under development). The server is the hub of all things to do with your media collection, from Movies to Music Videos, Books to Games, MB has it all and allows the user to organise and categorize their collections as they deem fit for their use and application. Furthermore, it allows almost any device to connect to it from anywhere, such as Android, Windows Phone, iOS, Roku, Sky’s NowTV box, your favourite web browser, and standalone applications such as MediaBrowser Theatre, Windows 8 and still MediaBrowser Classic(WMC integration). These are all refered to as Apps/Clients within the MB world.

Collection Organization - Metadata Compatibility with Plex & XBMC
The Server and what it does for you?
The server runs on the PC where your media collection is or has fast access to, such as NAS drives, Everything is in place to automatically collect the right metadata information for your media collections including all the art that fanart.tv provides, it stores all this artwork in your item’s folder but can be edited from the metadata manager within the web dashboard. What’s beautiful about MB is that if you use MediaPortal, XBMC, Plex then MB is intelligent enough to understand the metadata structures for those front ends and also integrate with them. We now have many users using MB-Server and XBMC Front End. The server has the right amount of configuration available to not daunt a new comer to the HTPC world and can leave the settings at default, where as a power user can get stuck in and, tweak things the way they want their metadata scraped and saved.
The screen shots below show just how easy it is to edit images and the selection available that MB recognizes and uses.
At the moment, our server currently only runs on windows, however, a linux/OSx mono based server is under development. If you are an experienced Linux/osx dev, and would like to help out or join our team please feel free to stop by this thread here!

Apps and Accessing the Servers Content
Think about the Apps like shoppers in a mall, where the mall is the MB-Server and the MB-Apps are the customers, shopping around for things they like or want to see. It seems appropriate to call them these as that’s exactly what these MB-Apps do. Just about any handheld device, pad, laptop or pc can access the server using a dedicated app or access via a web browser, which in my eyes make life easy.
MBClassic (Original MB, WMC integration)
MBTheatre (Standalone PC based application)
Win 8 App (Windows Tablet or standalone PC based application for Windows 8)

There has been a long standing partnership with MB and fanart.tv and MB would like to commend them on their hard work over the years and may it continue. I feel it’s only fair that there should be some screen shots to wet your appetite. These Screenshots have been taken from MB-Classic and show just how beautiful fanart has helped to make themes like Subdued(An MBClassic Theme) look beautiful.

Newly supported:
Live TV
We now support live tv through the use of a modular service provider system. You'll need to install a service provider plugin, and at launch we have one, ServerWMC. We'd like to thank krustyreturns for being a part of this.
A next pvr plugin is also in development, and we also have a few more on our wish list - Argus TV, DVBViewer and DVBLink. If you would like to get involved and help develop one of these plugins, please let us know.
So let's get down to live tv. You have the ability to view the guide, watch a channel, and full recording management capabilities. And the web client design is responsive so that you can use it on your smartphone to schedule a recording when you're not home.
Transcoding Engine Improvements
Perhaps just as exciting as live tv, we've made significant improvements to our transcoding service that will really help reduce server cpu usage.

update post 2
Only copy freely content available thru serverWMC just for clarity...
The mb3 server is fantastic and ALL the clients are great.
The dev has done a great job with the windows phone app. Open to suggestions for improvement too. ServerWMC support coming soon, best feature on that is remotely setting recordings in my opinion. That said i don't watch much media on the go...
The android app is cracking on a tablet and the dev is looking to support android media players in the future. Which with serverWMC should make for an impressive cheap mediacenter!!!

what speed of router are you using? B/G/N/AC? what type of content? avi, mkv, mpg?
what is the processor speed of the server machine? it has to transcode if the file bitrate exceeds your wifi speed.
the problem is not your phones, it is your server, network, or content.
it works wonderfully on my Bell S4 on a N network, playing all my files, from a AMD FX 8 core server machine (any dual core 2.5 GHz or better should suffice)

Hey all,
We just launched our next generation webbing app:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Insites
Your Visual & Social Web Feeder.
Browse socially through various interesting Websites Teasers. View, Capture, Create & Share any frame from the web.
By using Insites, you can crop any frame from any website using an intuitive cropping tool, design it with an in-app image editor, mark it as "Public" or "Private", tag the image to related topics (called “Domains”, i.e. #hashtags) and add a personal comment/thought.
Unlike Pinterest, with Insites you get to decide what frame you want to share.
You can save any Insite to your Evernote account, share on Facebook or in any other social network.
You can create a new Insite via browsers and other app (using "Share").
Insites let you browse the web visually, and get a little taste, a “teaser” if you like, of any website.
You can use it as your visual web feeder.

Hello, I don't know much about coding, or Andriod Developing apps. But came up with this.
A Wesbite/App which can have like a large Online database/torrent whereby users can pick any torrents and simply click on then and STREAM them directly.
After doing some research I found this:
The closest thing is from some Russians, who have managed to successfully, create some sort of new Unique protocol or something like that ^^^, and it works GREAT, however its LIMITED to Russian and TV only.
Could an Developer use this Unique Technology/Protocol and create an English type or library?

Ace Stream platform provides excellent audio-visual quality for Internet online broadcasts/shows and the most effective system of storing and delivering audio and video content.
Note: Ace Stream users watch online video with audio-visual quality level ten times greater than quality of video on YouTube (provided in 1080p format) and many times greater than broadcasts/shows of all other existing services of VoD and Live Stream provided by OTT (Over The Top) service operators, which do not use P2P technology.
No existing Live Stream service or standard CDN operator using unicast can provide live broadcast with the same high level quality, for the same number of viewers, that can be provided by the average Ace Stream user from his personal computer using home Internet-channel!
