Watch Blu-rays and DVD movies on Nexus One like iPhone

Now, as the much awaited Nexus One is into the palm of many of us, debate on the superiority of Google branded phone Nexus One over iPhone and prior to its launch becomes more and more consolidated. I don’t mean to join the discussion. Here I just want to share my way viewing Blu-ray and DVD movies on Nexus One according to my own experience.




First of all, let’s view graphics, audio and video of Google Nexus One:

Image: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP

Audio encoders: AMR-NB

Audio decoders: AAC LC/LTP, HE-AACv1 (AAC+), HE-AACv2 (enhanced AAC+), AMR-NB, AMR-WB9, MP3, MIDI SMF, OGG Vorbis, WAVE (8-bit and 16bit PCM)

Video: H.263, MPEG-4 SP, H.264 AVC

From the above info, you will see that Nexus One can not directly play Blu-ray and DVD. As a result, I have to turn to a third party – Blu-ray ripper for help. There are many Blu-ray ripper tools which can do the job but not all of them can decrypt and convert Blu-ray or protected DVD to any other popular video/audio format with ease like Moyea Blu-ray Ripper after trying several Blu-ray rippers one by one. Additionally, it supports decrypting and converting Blu-ray maintaining its original audio stream like TrueHD or DTS-HD so that you can easily enjoy your Blu-ray with your master language.

After launching Moyea Blu-ray Ripper, you can follow the steps to decrypt and convert Blu-ray/DVD to Nexus One.

Step 1: Add your Blu-ray files into this program

Step 2: Select output format and set destination folder

After all Blu-ray files are loaded, you could easily select output format workable to Nexus One from the drop-down list “Format” as well as set save path from the “Output”. Otherwise, the output files will be saved in the default folder automatically.





If your Blu-ray files have many subtitle languages, you can choose your master language from the “Subtitle” as well as select audio track from the “Audio”.

Step 3: Click the “Convert” button to start Blu-ray conversion

Once all the Blu-ray conversion is done, you can get the output files from its destination folder and then you can put the converted Blu-ray files to your Nexus One for viewing.

See, only three clicks, all the process will be finished in a short time. As for those Mac users, there is another alternative tool – Mac Blu-ray Ripper which works perfectly as well as Moyea Blu-ray Ripper on Windows.

Hope it helps!

Google Nexus One's First Week of Sales Were Weak


Big hype didn't equal big sales for Google's Nexus One. According to reports only 20,000 Google Nexus One phones were sold in its first week of sales, according to sales estimates from market research firm Flurry. In comparison to its Android sibling the numbers are 12 times lower than for the Motorola Droid and 80 times lower than for the iPhone 3GS.

The Nexus One didn't benefit from such a strong marketing push like the Motorola Droid (estimated $100 million), despite Google's phone featuring so-far unique Android features. This has reflected in poor first week sales for the Nexus One,

Browsing the Google Nexus One or the HTC HD2?





Both smartphones use the Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor, but different operating systems — the Nexus One has Google Android, the HD2 has Windows Mobile. The smartphone use different web browsers, too, although PocketNow cheats a bit by using Opera Mobile on the HD2.
The tests are carried out over Wi-Fi and, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Nexus One is quicker at opening pages. The HD2 does seem to be quicker at zooming web pages though, but the Nexus One’s lack of multi-touch might account for the slow, fixed zoom that the on-screen button triggers.
There a few more interesting comparisons in the test and the video is well worth a watch if you fancy a new smartphone, but want to steer clear of Apple

CoPilot Live on Google Nexus One gets the green light



CoPilot Live for Android has been one of the biggest hits of 2009 on the Android Market, with more than 200,00 downloads, but ALK hasn’t just slapped it on the shelf and left it to gather dust. The navigation company’s updating all the time, and now, the mapping app will support theGoogle Nexus One too.

Although many Android apps runs across a range of different Google blowers, the different specs and screen resolutions often mean new phones break support for third party apps, especially complex satnav apps. But ALK, which only just updated CoPilove Live for full support on the Motorola Milestone and HTC Tattoo, has now confirmed that it works on the Google Nexus One’s lavish 3.7-inch display too.

Android Banking Scam App Shoots Phish In Google's Barrel




The crime: identity theft.
The location: the Android Market.
The weapon: a free "banking" app.
The lesson: you should be terrified at all times, of all things, even if Google says you shouldn't be.


Downloading your bank's mobile app seemed like a surefire way to avoid stumbling into a phishing scam. It was the prudent thing to do! Until this week, when malicious software masquerading as an official First Tech Credit Union banking app wormed its way into the Android Market. Of course, when I say "wormed" I really mean "strode more or less undisturbed," because that's what you do in the Android Market—approvals take hours, not days, and the inspection process seems to be cursory, at best.

This doesn't highlight a problem so much as a tradeoff: do you want your primary app resource to be mostly unfiltered and non-exclusive, so no company can tell you what you can or can't download, but where you're possibly exposed to scam apps like this? Or do you need to be held in the warm, protective breast of a multination corporation, guarded by its app approval minions, who go over every app with a fine-tooth comb?

Either way, its worth noting that this is only somewhat indicative of a weakness in the Android Market concept, because it shouldn't have happened—they theoretically screen for malicious apps. But it did, so at the very least be more scared careful.
