The TomTom app incorporates the features in version for boaters. Then we find the TomTom HD Traffic function, which suggests the quickest route to your destination and IQ Routes, which according to the company further enhances the paths through the information provided by TomTom users. There are also shows useful places Nesses and characteristic for motorists and the recognition of the street names.
The maps are available offline and does not require Internet access. "The upgrades will be available for free four times a year for the lifetime of the app" it says on the company's official statement. Also shows the speed cameras and speed limits on any road or highway that runs. The software keeps running even if you start other software or receive a call.
The version with Italian maps occupies 482 MB of space on the memory of their smartphones, Android 2.2 and requires at least currently works only with 800 x 480 pixels and 854x480 pixels-different terminals are therefore currently excluded from the games. The company told us they will be integrated to support higher resolutions in the next updates.
TomTom for Android also supports the hands-free car kit. Interested parties can purchase the app directly on Google Play in a temporary price 34.99 euros, while in future should be priced around 50 euros.
In August we asked a spokesman that opinions had the company about the topic, widespread piracy on Android. We were told would be taken some steps to try to limit the phenomenon but we don't know what.
Two new terminals will arrive soon to the market, on the one hand the big bet of Google Android Nexus 4 of LG and secondly the Lumia 920 Nokia, the mobile phone that will bring Windows 8. Together with our colleagues from movilzona we have analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of these models.
Normally begin the comparative talking screens each terminal, which is key to the election. Nokia bets on a 4.5 inch screen with its technology called PureMotion HD + which has a resolution of 1,280 x 768 pixels with a density of 332 ppi. Meanwhile LG has provided the Nexus 4 a 4.7 inch IPS display, with the same resolution than his rival and 320 ppi density. Both screens are Corning Gorilla Glass.
The outward appearance is the first thing we see in any terminal. Nexus 4 is going to be more stylized than its competitor, with dimensions of 133,9 mm x 68.7 mm x 9.1 mm and weighs 130 grams. Lumia 920 weighs more, up the scale to 185 grams. The dimensions of the terminal of the Finnish company are 130,3 mm x 70.8 mm x 10.7 mm, somewhat thicker than the Nexus 4.
It is possibly the aspect which stands out most Nexus 4 over Lumia 920. The phone made by LG is equipped with the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro S4 of four with 2 gigs of RAM. Nokia also committed to Qualcomm, although its terminal take the Plus S4 SnapDragon dual-core and 1 gig of RAM. The GPU is also therefore top the Nexus 4, which features Adreno 320, while we find Adreno 305 at Lumia.
A priori PureView technology which incorporates Nokia Lumia 920 seems better than sensor 8 Mpx of the Nexus 4. Nokia has also included the new image stabilization system, also the Nokia SmartShoot to make multiple pictures on the same trip, and Nokia City Lens, functionality that brings augmented reality to another level. The most striking characteristic of the Nexus 4 is Photo Sphere, allowing us to make panoramic 3D. As we have seen, on the role the camera of the Nokia Lumia 920 barre almost all the competitors.
The main difference between both terminals lies in the inclusion of LTE technology. Although not a crucial aspect in our country, unfortunately not so we can enjoy, bet Nokia to include it on your phone thing that Google has abandoned. In what both agree is to provide NFC to its terminals, which will allow us to make payments or file sharing.

In our opinion this is one of the most neglected in the terminals, there are always great advances in the subject of displays, processors, memories, etc., but we never see a large bet on innovation in the field of batteries. Both models have batteries of more than 2,000 mAh, with possibility of wireless charging.
Google has upended the market with the announcement of the price of your new Nexus 4. Will it be available for 299 in its 8-gigabyte version and 349 euros for the 16 gigabytes of capacity. As for the Nokia Lumia 920, we have not official output price, although it is rumored to be available at a very attractive price. The latest rumors placed the figure at 599 dollars.
There is no doubt that we are at two terminals with outstanding performance. Each with its peculiar style tries to give a blow to the market. The bet of Google for a low price is one of the main incentives to convert to the Nexus 4 a super sales. Time will issue a ruling.
