Android Phones With 720p Displays Coming Soon

The announcement of LG’s Optimus LTE phone in South Korea heralded a new era in Android smartphones thanks to its new 1280 x 720p resolution display on a 4.5-inch screen. Described as a retina display for Android, it’s powered by LG’s Mobile HD Graphics Engine. The display itself is described by LG as a “True HD IPS” screen. IPS is a type of LCD display technology stands for in-plane switching and refers to the parallel placement of the liquid crystals in relation to the display glass.

The new device also features 329 ppi RGB resolution for crisper text and images; automatic color adjustments thanks to the Mobile HD Graphics Engine; and an HD Movie Editor.

This display capability will be built into Android 3.2, Ice Cream Sandwich, to make it easier for developers to program apps to scale to multiple screen sizes. Though the higher res display is meant more for tablets, it’s clear that phones are taking advantage of it, too.  In addition to the South Korean-only Optimus LTE, the forthcoming Google Nexus Prime is expected to include a similar 4.65-inch display with 1280 x 720p resolution.

Android and Mango Skin/Transformation Pack for Windows 7

DeviantART user hameddanger has created two beautiful transformation packs for Windows 7. For those who are not aware, transformation packs are a collection of skins, icons, hacks and mods packaged into a self executing installer that modifies the appearance of the operating system. Transformation packs usually replaces system files to achieve this, so they cannot be switched from one style to another the way it’s possible with Windows 7 themes, without uninstalling the transformation pack. The upside of this is that, the transformation is generally total – everything from mouse cursors, to sound schemes and icons are changed.

The two new transformation packs are Android Skin Pack and Mango Skin Pack, that changes the look and feel of Windows 7 to Google Android and Windows Phone Mango, respectively. Both packs support Windows 7 and Windows 7 SP1 and is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
