A Look At The Aviary Photo Editing Application For The Motorola Razr

The new Motorola Razr smartphone is a device that boasts a number of super features but the photography facilities on this model have impressed us the most. The handset is capable of capturing high resolution 8 million pixel images that look superb. A new application is available for this model that allows you to further enhance the appearance of your photographs. Aviary is available from the Android Marketplace and offers a wealth of superb editing features, some of which we will take a look at here.

Despite offering a huge number of features that enable you to make both minor and major adjustments to your photographs it is rather surprising to see that the Aviary application is available free of charge. This comprehensive editing suite is a scaled down version of the popular desktop version. A simple interface makes editing your images a very simple task. Along the bottom of the Motorola Razr screen there is a scrolling toolbar that features several icons that each makes a different adjustment to your photo. All of the basic editing features that you would expect to find on such a piece of software are present. The crop facility is particularly useful as it enables you trim your image prior to uploading it to sites such as Facebook or Twitter. Contrast and brightness settings can be easily adjusted and the simple orientation tool lets you flip the image 90 degrees, perfect if you have taken the photo in portrait mode but want to view it in landscape mode on a PC monitor or widescreen television.

A number of picture effects can be added to your photographs taken on the Motorola Razr to make them look even more eye catching. These effects are basically a variety of filters that are applied to your shot to give them a very vintage or retro appearance. Several of these are available on the application but there are also some additional options available to purchase if you desire. The Aviary software will automatically send you to the Android marketplace should you want to add these additional filters to your collection. Aviary works with pinch to zoom gestures which enables you to get a really precise level of zoom magnification on all of your images. This is perfect if you want to use features that remove the red eye from your snaps or make a detailed adjustment to a specific area of the photograph. A number of paintbrush effects and stickers are also available if you want to have a bit of fun with your friends faces in an image. Add some head wear and glasses from the dozens of sticker options that are available or perhaps change their hair style with the paintbrush feature. Aviary really does offer a huge number of options from basic and useful adjustments to options that let you have a little fun with your photographs.

The 8 mega pixel camera on the Motorola Razr has always impressed us and using the feature with an application such as Aviary really does make the camera package on this model one of the very best currently available.

The Motorola Razr and the HTC Sensation XE are available now.

How To Make Free Calls On Your Motorola RAZR Using The Viber App

If you are lucky enough to own the stylish new Motorola RAZR or a similar smartphone or tablet which runs the popular Android operating system, you can now enjoy free messages, calls and multimedia messages thanks to a new app called Viber.

What Is Viber?
Viber is an app which is currently in the list of top free apps in the Android market download charts, and provides an innovative means of communicating for free via various formats. At the time of writing, over 40 million Android smartphone users have downloaded Viber, making it one of the most popular communications apps yet.

How Does Viber Work?
Rather than using cellular data which is traditionally used as the medium through which calls and messages are sent, Viber calls upon a Wi-Fi or 3G connection and utilises this to send data, essentially eliminating the need to use cellular data provided by your phone network. Therefore you must make sure that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network or have a decent 3G connection, and it is also required that you have contacts who also have the app installed in order to communicate with them. Viber is available for Android and iOS, and given their combined market share, most of your contacts should be able to install the app on their handset. Viber will automatically sync with your existing contacts when installed so you will know instantly which of your friends already have Viber.

Who Is Viber For?
If you own an Android smartphone like the Motorola RAZR or an iOS operated handset like the Apple iPhone 4S, than Viber is likely to be an advantageous download for you. However, it is especially useful for those who have a limited number of minutes on their smartphone tariff, as you can bypass this using the 3G or Wi-Fi connections. Similarly, if you have a limit on your data allowance (most recent tariffs in the UK have a 500MB or 1GB data limit), then you can also use it over a Wi-Fi network to preserve your data allowance for more important tasks such as browsing the internet. Please note though, that if you are have exceeded your data limit for the month and use Viber, data charges may apply, although this can be resolved by using a Wi-Fi connection.

Given that the Viber app is free to download and use (it does not even have ads like many other free apps), it is certainly worth a download in my opinion. Even if you do not use it often it is a great idea to have it installed as a backup in case you exceed your data allowance.

Take The Next Step Up With The Motorola Droid X2

The Motorola Droid X2 was released on August 1 2011 and is considered to be the 'Big Brother' to the previously released Motorola Droid X which came onto the market in July 2010.

With an excellent battery life and a great call quality, this is the phone for you if you need to get in touch a lot and not worry about interference or your phone going dead because it's run out of juice.

The Motorola Droid X2 looks pretty similar to its little Brother the Droid X, but it's a strong and sturdy phone that will work well for you at any given time, and you won't have to worry about breaking it as much because it comes with an extra bump on the back of the phone, right at the top which just makes it a bit sturdier.

Enough talk; let's see exactly how this Big Brother performs.

· Height: Just over 5 inches

· Width: just over 2.5 inches

· Depth: 0.39 inches thick

· Weight: 155 grams

· Screen: qHD display with a 540x960 pixel resolution

· A 1GHz ARM Cortex a9 core processor for faster browsing and better gaming

· 8 Mega-Pixel rear facing camera and 1080p video

· Operating system: Android 2.2.2 with plans to upgrade to the much-loved Gingerbread operating system very soon

· 512 MB RAM and 8GB of storage memory

· Removable storage: Up to 32 GB with the 8 GB microSD card

· A storage facility of up to 16 GB which means you can upload hundreds of tunes, photos and more

· Works on 3G as opposed to the 4G network that many brands are operating on now, but is fine for those who are not ready to use the newest network just yet while it is still new and improving

· Battery: 1540 mAH internal

· Carrier: Verizon Wireless

· Cameras: HB 1080p video and HDMI playback for the videos you have shot. 8 Mega pixel dual LED camera with reduced shutter lag and great picture quality

Although the Motorola Droid X2 is not that different from its predecessor, it does have a fairly good camera and its battery life is one that the makers should be proud of. You may be disappointed that it cannot run on the 4G network just yet, but while it is still new and while there are still improvements to be made, you can carry on using the trusted 3G network for the time being.

One of the great things I haven't mentioned about the Droid X2 is that it can be used as a hub for up to 5 devices, now that's quite a lot. If you do like to play games on your devices then you will have a greatly improved user experience on the X2, thanks to the sharp graphics and the fast operating system that is so much better than its younger Brother and is a fast and easy to use phone that isn't as complicated as other models.

The Droid RAZR From Motorola

Motorola released its latest phone known as the Droid RAZR in November 2011 and it has proven to be an excellent addiction to their ever-increasing range of top quality phones despite it being early days. When you are looking for a phone that is different but better, then you need to look no further than this masterpiece that is capable of a lot more than you might think.

There is not a lot that this phone cannot do; but rather than bore you with the details; here is a list of its features and specifications and what it can do:

Features and Specifications

· Operates on the Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread system with a scope for future upgrades

· 7 millimeters thick, making it one of the thinnest phones on the market

· 4 inch screen

· Comes with extra-tough Gorilla glass

· Weighs about 0.130 Kilograms

· 1 GB of RAM which means you can store a whole load of music, pictures and more

· 16 GB Memory which means that you can store even more music, pictures and more!

· Dual core 1.2 GHz processor

· Standby battery that will last 203 hours without needing to be charged

· 11 hours of continuous talk time

· 4G network enabled

· Business applications for those who use the handset for work purposes

· Rear-facing 8 mega-pixel camera and a 1080 pixel video camera

· A whole host of games and the possibility to download more

· Thousands of apps that can be downloaded

· A great looking phone that stands out from the crowd

· Predictive text function for emails and text messages

· Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled

To be honest, the list could go on because this phone is a great one and I could rave about it all day. One of the best things about this phone is that it is different from a lot of the newer and older ones that other manufacturers are bringing out, and that is not a bad thing because as they say 'Variety is the spice of life', and it makes it stand out from the crowd.

The Gingerbread operating system that is found on android phones and other devices is known to be somewhat illusive and it's hard to find anything with this system on it, which makes the Droid RAZR from Motorola even more attractive. This operating system is a particularly fast and effective one that makes using phones, tablets and other devices so much easier and less of a chore.

As far as I am concerned, the Droid RAZR is the only phone for me; it is so easy to use, it has a phenomenal amount of memory and it looks so good it makes every other handset out there look like something from the eighties.

The Stunning Motorola Droid Bionic

The beautiful and sleek Motorola Droid Bionic is as technologically advanced as it sounds while giving you a handset that outshines all the others, thanks to its stunning design.

On September 8, 2011, Verizon released this very capable smart phone and despite us having to wait an extra nine months to get our hands on this unique handset, I can safely say that it was worth the wait.

Let's take a look at why the Droid Bionic is so good:

· Length: 5.1 inches

· Width: 2.6 inches

· Depth: 0.42 inches

· Weight: 158 grams

· 1 GHz OMAP4 Dual Core Processor

· Processor Speed: 1000 MHz

· 8 Mega Pixel Rear Camera With Dual Flash & 1080p HD Video Capture

· 3G & 4G Wireless Capability

· 4.3 Inch Screen with 960 x 540 Resolution

· Touch Screen

· Operating System: Android Gingerbread 2.3.4

· Memory: 1GB RAM

· Built In Memory: 16 GB

· Maximum Size of SD Card: 32 GB

· Multi Media Player

· Music Player that Supports: Mp3, AAC, MIDI and more

· Internet Browsing that Supports HTML and Flash

· USB Port (Micro USB 2.0)

· Wi-Fi Enabled (2.4 GHz)

· Bluetooth Enabled

The Droid Bionic is proud to be the thinnest 4G LTE handset around and that is quite an achievement when you think about all the other phones out there that are trying to compete. No-one needs a huge phone that takes up too much room, but we all need one with a screen that's big enough for us to see what we are going and the Droid Bionic lets us do just this.

What's also great about this handset is it's available on the 4G network, as you may have noticed; this network is something that all manufacturers are trying so desperately to get their handsets on because it is the network of the future and is a better, faster and clearer way of making calls, sending emails, texts and the like.

Ok so the Bionic does seem a bit pricey at around $299 when it comes with a 2 year contract and $589 without, but it is definitely worth it as you will be getting a phone that works faster than any other phone you have seen.

You will often see newer phones operating very quickly but the downside is that they will need charging fairly frequently and sometimes that just isn't convenient at all. The battery that comes in the Droid Bionic lasts a very long time and it is quite impressive, which means that you can use this phone with ease and not have to hunt for your charger.

The Motorola Droid is a modern, stylish, very powerful and fast phone and with quick navigation and Gorilla Glass to protect the screen. It's extremely fast yet tough enough to withstand a whole host of knocks and bumps.

Step into the future with the Droid Bionic from Motorola while it leaves other handsets trailing behind.

The Motorola Atrix 2 Review

It can often be difficult to keep track of so many new electronic gadgets that crop up on the market every year especially when their capabilities don't change that much. This can be said about the new Motorola Atrix 2. It's predecessor, the Motorola Atrix 4G, was released 10 months earlier. Is it time already for an Atrix 2? Does this make the first Atrix already obsolete? Does the new Atrix 2 live up to the Atrix name though? Is it a marginal refresh or update or an entirely new powerful smart phone?

First, you can rest assured that the Moto Atrix 4G, released in Febraury 2011, is not obsolete. If you own a Atrix 4G and have been satisfied with using it, there's no need to discard it and buy an Atrix 2 The essential functions are still the same. There are some differences in the design of the device, for example the Atrix 4G has a 4 inch screen and the new Atrix 2 has an upgraded 4.3 inch screen which is exactly what all the top smart phones have today. The Atrix 2 capabilities are still the same. However, as with any new product that's introduced, the Atrix 2 does feature a few weaks over the Atrix 4G. The viewing screen appears to have less glare from sunlight over the original smaller screen.

Because social networking communication channels such as Twitter and Facebook have become part of our daily lives, the Atrix 2 includes an application known as Social Location. While it was possible to make use of these social networks with the earlier 4G, because of increased usage of these social network sites, the new version has a more centralized location with Social Location for easier accessibility.

Before you ditch your Moto Atrix 4G and run out to buy the Moto Atrix 2, realize that some of the features in the new design doesn't necessarily mean "better." The camera in the Atrix 2 can take wonderful pictures in normal sunlight. However, the quality of the pictures are poor if the sun is too bright.

Another advantage found in the Atrix 2 is that battery life is an hour longer for the Atrx 4G's five hours and 10 minutes. As users of such products, we are always hoping for a product that will offer close to eternal battery power. But should an hour longer make you buy a new version?

Comparison of The Long-Awaited Droid 4 and Droid 3 - Motorola on the Go!

In 2011, Motorola hit the market with their Droid 3 handset and now they have another fantastic handset they are planning to launch at the end of 2011. The Droid 4 is waiting to be released and is currently in the testing process but the stage has already been set for the Motorola Droid 4 cell phone so get ready for the launch!

You might be wondering why Motorola are releasing two similar handsets in the space of 6 months. Well, this is a much-debated topic these days on cell phone-related blogs and forums. There is a valid reason as to why Motorola is releasing two handsets of the same type and this can be easily understood by looking at a detailed overview of the specs of both the models.

Motorola Droid 3

Specs of this particular handset are:

· 1 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4430 processor

· GSM and CDMA

· Android 2.3

· QWERTY keyboard

· 4 inch wide-screen

· 8 megapixel camera

Motorola Droid 4

The all new Droid 4 is set to be released with the following features and specs:

· 1.2 GHz dual-core OMAP 4430 processor

· 4G LTE

· Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread

· 8 megapixel camera

· 4 inches wide-screen

· QWERTY keyboard

As you can see the core difference between the two models is their operating network. The Droid 3 supports the GSM and CDMA networks only, while the Droid 4 is 4G supportive. Today, where 4G technology is on the rise, you will find all the new cell phones are operated on the 4G LTE network. In such a 4G boom period, the Droid 3 is really facing a setback. Although you might see a lot of people still using the Droid 3 and loving it, it is not considered to be a cell phone that people will be using in the future. While thinking about the current market trend, Motorola has decided to launch the Droid 4 with 4G connectivity. Both these handsets belong to different categories, one competing with the GSM and CDMA phones while the other one is planning to give a tough time to other 4G handsets.

The processing speed is another difference between the two; the Droid 4 has a 1.2 GHz Dual Core processor while the Droid 3 has a 1 GHz dual core processor. Both the handsets have an 8 megapixel camera and both have a fully fledged QWERTY keyboard. However, the Droid 4 keyboard is much better than the Droid 3;the Droid 4 has a complete keyboard similar to that of notebooks and also has the latest Android version which is the 2.3.5 Gingerbread system.

It is said that the Droid 4 will give all the other 4G handsets a tough time on the market and people are already waiting desperately for this superb cell phone. However, no one knows the exact release date of the Motorola Droid 4, but it will be with us pretty soon.

Motorola RAZR Also Known As the Motorola Droid RAZR Announced for Release

Motorola has now announced the release of a new handset which many will recognise the name of, the new Motorola RAZR - which is also to be called the Motorola RAZR Droid in America takes on the branding from a previous phone sold some years ago called the Motorola RAZR V3.

The new Motorola RAZR is a very different phone to the V3 and it looks like the manufacturer is aiming to gain interest from one of its best-selling mobile phone models of all time by using the RAZR name tag once again.

There is some exciting new technology being used in the manufacture of the new RAZR, this includes a laser-cut Kevlar back cover which is the same material used in body armour and 'SplashGuard' which is a nano particle-based water repellant system that not only covers the outer casing but also the electronic innards of the phone.

Getting down to the bare bones in terms of features, the Motorola RAZR is a powerful smart phone with a 1.2GHz dual core processor along with 1GB of RAM at its heart, the main touch screen measures 4.3 inches and uses the same Super AMOLED display technology found in the Samsung Galaxy S2.

On the reverse of the phone the Motorola RAZR again matches the Galaxy S2 with an 8 mega pixel camera supporting full 1080p HD video capture and there is a secondary 1.3 mega pixel camera on the front of the phone facilitating video calls.

Another Motorola phone may spring to mind whilst looking at these specifications which is the new Atrix 2 which is due to upgrade the existing Motorola Atrix very soon, however the Atrix 2 is not going to be sold in European markets and so the new RAZR will be the manufacturers flagship device in this area.

One point that may go against this new phone is that although it runs the very latest Android 2.3.5 operating system known as Gingerbread it will be up against competition from the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus which will be running the Android 4.0 system known as Ice Cream Sandwich, which could hurt sales.

To counter this Motorola have included some new software features of their own including one called 'Smart Actions' which allows the user to completely personalise their experience from changing the menus around to launching different applications within certain features.

The Motorola RAZR is extremely sleek which again points back to the days of the slim V3 model, this new phone measures a mere 7.1mm thin at its slimmest point but manages to pack in a multitude of features.

Connectivity is provided by Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and fast download speeds via HSPA+ as well as 3.5G support and Motorola have also addresses the problem of power drainage from the Android system by installing a large 1780mAh battery for a longer life between charges.

This new Motorola phone is due to be released in November.
