Promo-Clip für LG Optimus 3D: Transformer-Wumms folgt Kitsch-Katastrophe

Nach dem recht Männer-affinen Transformers-Spot für das Optimus Pad, hat LG auch für sein neues 3D-Handy Optimus 3D einen Promo-Clip in seinen YouTube-Kanal geschubst. Und der ist, nun, anders.

Dabei klingt der Plot auf dem Papier wenig verdächtig: Mädchen in Riesenappartement lernt beim Yoga die dreidimensionalen Darstellungen ihrer Trainingsvideos des Optimus 3D zu schätzen.

Der Clip selbst jedoch ist den Machern zu einem der schönsten PR-Bauchklatscher der letzten Zeit missraten. Kitschig, durchschaubar, dämlich: Die junge Dame spricht nicht einmal lippensynchron. Die Redaktion möchte hiermit offiziell den Abscheu der Kollegen von Androidpolice teilen. Engadget mutmaßt, das Video könnte als Persiflage auf die Shopping-Kanäle gemeint sein. Satire, mmh? Selbst dafür ist der Clip zu schlecht.

Motorola XOOM $799 + 1 Month Data And $749 Off-Contract Thunderbolt Now Confirmed By Best Buy Circular

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in HTC, Motorola, News, Thunderbolt, XOOM

If one thing can put an end to rumors, it’s the official Best Buy weekly ad – the one you get in print from the store. Unfortunately, this time, all the rumors turned out to be correct. Namely:

  • As rumored, Motorola XOOM is indeed going to cost $799 and will require a 1-month data package to unlock WiFi. February 24th remains the go-live date. Anyone still up for picking it up? Oh, and the same spelling errors are still present (/sigh).
  • HTC Thunderbolt’s regular, off-contract price is also confirmed at $749.99, just like we told you

Plixi (Formerly TweetPhoto) Releases Official Android App

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Applications, News

You’ve probably heard of Plixi, a picture-sharing service heavily aimed at social networking users – after all, according to Alexa, it’s the 372nd most popular site in the world. Or maybe TweetPhoto, the company’s previous name, rings a bell? As you can see below, its popularity is undisputed, but until now, the millions of users sharing their media to Plixi have been doing it mostly through 3rd party apps.

Frankly, I’m surprised it took them this long, but today the company announced the official Plixi Android app, dedicated 100% to uploading photos from your Android devices…

Android Intervention, Part 1 Of 4: Why Google Needs To Rein In Updates

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Android OS, Editorials, News

I think it’s safe to say that Android is the best thing to happen to smartphones since the iPhone (though, I’ll admit, I may be a wee bit biased). Without a doubt, the massive success of the operating system is due in large part to its openness; the ability for devices to share fundamental code, while still allowing for an amazing amount of customization, has provided something for consumers, carriers, and manufacturers that Apple would never match. And it’s for that reason that Android has taken off on such an unbelievable scale, clocking nearly 900% growth in 2010.

But despite…

Revision3 Quietly Drops 6 New Apps In The Android Market: Hak5, Dan 3.0, GeekBeat.TV, Young Turks, Totally Rad Show, And Scientific Tuesdays

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Applications, News

Revision3, a popular Internet-based TV network started in part by Kevin Rose, just quietly released not 1, not 2, but 6 apps for 6 of their popular shows.

The apps allow you to stream episodes in standard or hi-def, view comments, and view individual show segments – the Segments tab acts a video table of contents of sorts – a subtle feature, but it really makes all the difference.

There aren’t many features besides the ones I’ve listed, but what the apps do do (ha), they do very well. Sometimes simple is good, and in the case of video streaming…

LG Features Optimus 3D In One Of The Cheesiest Commercials We’ve Ever Seen, Complete With Hot Girl, Pink Bubbles, Yoga, And Out-of-sync Voiceover

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in LG, News, Optimus 3D, Videos

The upcoming 3D phone from LG, Optimus 3D, may be cool, with its glasses-free 3D and a dual-core CPU, but it certainly didn’t stop the company from producing one of the cheesiest/worst commercials we’ve ever seen.

The premise is decent – a girl is doing yoga, and her 3D-capable phone provides her with 3D training videos, but the execution… well, you decide, because I’m out of words:
