Another Cool App Demoed on X10

My friends over at the Sony Ericsson Developer World Youtube channel have made another video where they use the X10 to demonstrate a cool app available on Android Market. The app is an augmented reality app called Layar. I’ve tried it a bit also and think it’s a really cool thing. It really makes you think further on possibilities with mobile phones and gives a somewhat sci-fi “futurish” feeling :-)

There’s a huge amount of different layers for it developed already and the community around it is amazingly innovative.

You can find more to read about the app and the different layers at www.layar.com

    Sir. Rik
    DO You know why will the X2 be delayed? I got an email from a friend that said:
    ” I bet in 50$ that the X10 will be delayed till summer 2010!” :D
    The dust is going up and up and it’s not good. Why would SE delay the X2? Why?

    Hey Noc, How’s that “City” in X2… They say it represents so many things. Is it like those fishes in X1? I always had hopes for X2. :)
    By the way, The release date for X2 was Dec, 9 as i was told… The delay has made the scenario miserable. I guess SE want to earn good in Q1 2010.
    __________

    P.S.
    And Yes Take me along whenever you go to Italy! :D LOL!

    If, X10 will be delayed till Summer… then Sony Ericsson is going down. And by the way Noc, Tell your friend to make a bet with me. I’ll definitely earn the money. X10 wont be delayed.
    P.S.
    Hey Manish… Your Exams over?

    I have two thought over this X2 delay.

    1. X2 has been delayed as X2 is a successor of X1 which didn’t have a good impression on people. Secondly, Satio’s buggy software has made the scenario more miserable as people might not buy X2 after the Satio’s incident.

    2. On the other hand, X2 if released before X-Mas might have fetched some good money as its Fest Time and People would have bought X2 anyways. :)

    @ Rik, As Another bug arises in the Legacy of Satio. :( What can we expect in the future?! I mean any other updates that are being made in the SE Lab?
    IF YES!!! Then can we expect the following?
    1. QT for Satio.
    2. Symbian^2.
    3. Kinetic scrolling! (most important).

    @ hunk143
    There can’t be Symbian^2 for satio. But then again, Kinetic scrolling and Equalizer stuff can be added! :)
    And be sure that satio will receive another update! :)

    I also think, the satio’s bug would have made it difficult for them to launch a new phone!
    And that too with a predecessor having such a reputation, would have made things worse for SE at this time. :|

    @ moshik
    Thats a strange setting, bug! I think , you should try, recording to full 1:30 and see what happens? Try what rik said as well. Or consider, re-flashing your phone! :|

    Nice explanation rik, for the Speeds. :P
    And noc, consider the date on the screen of that video! It says, Nov 13th. So an earlier build, which was not so optimized in other respects but the speed in Timescape and Mediascape! :)
    As Rik said, the development phase is goes though, much of leaps and bounces, where sometimes speeds can be sacrificed to get a particular bug fixed and in later updates, speed can be taken back to normal. :) ( i hope i didn’t sound like a layman. )

    And bout, 32gb cards, noc, where did you learn, they are going to be slow in their firs generation. Because to me wherever i studied bout it, they are taking bout exceptional speeds they have put into it. :)
    I would be too happy for the X10 supporting 32gb’s! :D

    @ Noc
    Thanks for the links of Sunny and susan! I actually saw that before, but just didn’t remember the name, as those phones didn’t sound exciting to me! :|
    But now, looking at the interface, it is actually interesting! :)
