SPB shell 3D


Android Home Launcher

Many of us have tried number of home launcher like Goto launcher, ADW launcher etc. I would recommend SPB SHELL 3D. It is one of the best interactive 3d launcher for android smartphones.
H0ME SCREEN AND 3D world time










The best thing about this launcher is its 3D home screen as shown. You can slide your fingers from one screen to another. The other interesting feature is 3D globe. Here you can see different world times and yea it rotates too!

Another awesome feature is 3D message viewing. You can see the contact pic beside the message and you can slide your fingers up and down as you like.

The next feature is 3D carousel for your contacts. Here you can set theier individual ringtone when they call you and have fun.



The menu screen is also great.The best feature about SPB shell 3D is its butter like smoothness. It is very easy to slide between different screens unlike in other launchers where they might take min 2 secs to slide. You have in addition a 3D image viewer too where you can slide your fingers up and down and go through all the images.

The disadvantage about this is that it consumes lot of battery. But it is worth having such launchers in your smartphone, and above all its absolutely free.

Windows Mobile vs Android


Most of us have a smartphone and that too with common Android software.  So, most of us think that Android is much better than Windows mobile. But here when you compare both the platforms, the results might be different.

First thing is multitasking feature. Windows OS is better than android to deal with multitasking. It’s actually designed to do so. Many criticize WM that it has got no close button for any app. When you exit the app, it stills runs in your background. But Android also has the same problem.

After you exit the app in android, it still runs in background. You need to go to task manager to close all of them. There usually you find around 10-15 apps running simultaneously, whereas WM has got only two to three of them working. This is one area where WM is better than Android.

Other advantage of WM is that it allows you to place the installed program either in phone memory or external SD card. This results in memory space management. But in Android we do not have any such feature of where you want to keep your installed programs. It automatically puts them  in SD card even though we have less space in SD and more space in phone memory and vice versa.

Another advantage is of computer desktop integration (or) pc suite. In WM pc suite, you have the option of syncing the contacts, messages and emails (outlook) to your pc. You find no such option in Android pc suite.

These are only few areas where WM is better compared to Android. There might be more of them. But Android is surely better in terms of app market etc. This blog is for making people aware that having a window mobile is not that bad as compared to android OS. But now as WM OS is kind of outdated, all companies are using android. I hope they would bring in new features which android lacked as compared with WM operating system.
