Android Lock Beta 2 Brings New Features To The iPhone Lockscreen

New toggles allow for hiding the passcode lock, with a tap to unlock setting. And now available are sliders to set the opacity of the dots, overlay and drawing. Even a toggle to disable the Android stlye passcode all together.

Everybody has been crazy for the Android style passcode lock since it was released. We showed you here. With only two real complaints about it. The inability to set the transparency and that it is visable at all times. And that you can’t disable it easily. Well now with a version 2.0 on the horizon, both of those have been addressed.

And that is not a problem, because uncle Steve is a brilliant visionary and 99% of the time he knew exactly what to create. The problem is that Steve’s best moments might just passed him, and now other companies discovered Apple’s Achilles heel and they are targeting Apple from every direction. Meet Droid…

Steve Wozniak: My New Favorite Gadget Is Google’s Nexus One

Woz recently confessed that his new favorite gadget is not the iPhone but Google’s Nexus One.

Although the mighty Woz is the only man that “figured out how to fix iPhone’s battery life problem” , he recently confessed that his new favorite gadget is not the iPhone but Google’s Nexus One.  His main device will still be the iPhone, but he loves to spend time and play with the newly released Google device.

Flurry estimates that Google sold around 20,000 units in the first week , being outnumbered by Motorola Droid as well with 250,000 units in the first week.
