Looks like Google’s own OS, the Android is gaining ground in the mobile phone market. More and more manufacturers are embracing the Android OS and just recently, the HTC Hero has been announced. HTC has been the biggest manufacturer of Android phones with Google choosing them to make their first Google Phone, the G1 or HTC Dream. After the G1, HTC has also made the HTC Magic and the recent announcement of the HC Hero makes it their third Android device.
But HTC is not the only manufacturer of Android phones. Sony Ericsson and Motorola have been rumored to be in the process of making their own Android phones and recently, Samsung has released their own Android phone: the Samsung i7500 Galaxy in Germany.
According to some Samsung i7500 reviews, it seems to be the most powerful Android phone in the market with a 5 megapixel camera, 3.2 inch AMOLED screen, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, Bluetooth, etc. However, once the HTC Hero will be released, the Samsung Galaxy is in for a stiff competition. Aside from a custom UI, the HTC Hero boasts of an onboard 3.5mm headset jack and a much sleeker design.
So who will come out on top? Neither Samsung and HTC but Google who seems to be bent on dominating the smartphone market.
A SENSATIONAL 4D cinema experience will be the new attraction at a Midland theme park.
The revelation of the whopping £1 million investment on a new “effects theatre” for 2009 was made by bosses at Drayton Manor Park and Zoo, near Tamworth.
Using the latest technology and special effects lighting, the attraction will allow audiences to watch a movie in 3D while sitting in specially designed simulation chairs that will react to scenes in the film.
The 4D element will see chairs move up and down, vibrate, release sprays of water, bursts of air, bubbles and even various smells.
Work on creating the 152-seat theatre will start later in the New Year ahead of the park’s opening on March 21 and will be located in the Soundstage Theatre next to the park’s Central Plaza.
Edward Pawley, general manager for Drayton Manor Park operations, said: “The 4D theatre will be a great addition to the park. Drayton Manor has an amazing mix of rides and attractions for all ages, but the 4D cinema will provide a fantastic indoor attraction for the whole family.”
This new addition to the park will be supplied by Simworx, a simulation attraction and effects theatre specialist based in Kingswinford.
Terry Monkton, managing director of Simworx, added: “I am delighted that Drayton Manor Theme Park will open one of our 4D effects theatres. This will be an excellent attraction and I’m sure it will be popular with all age groups.”
The theatre will screen the award-winning feature film Curse of Skull Rock, a family adventure that tells the story of Captain Scabb’s quest to find lost treasure.
It won the Best Children’s Animated Film award at the prestigious Stuttgart Film Festival.
Last year the park, which won Large Visitor Attraction of the Year (West Midlands Region) 2008, opened Thomas Land which proved to be a “phenomenal” hit, attracting thousands of fans of the story-book train characters.
