Dolphin Mobile Browser Gets Voice-Control Feature for Android Dolphin Browser for mobile devices received a voice-control feature on Wednesday for Android users, allowing them to search the Web with just their voices. The new feature — called Dolphin Sonar — allows you to open new tabs by speaking to the browser, and it can even search within sites. For example, saying "Facebook Justin Bieber" will display his Facebook profile. The speech recognition feature is available for free in the Android Market via the Dolphin for Android version 7.4 update. To activate the feature, tap the microphone icon at the bottom of the screen or shake the device, and start talking. “Our gesture-based browsing function was a game-changer in terms of the way people browse on their mobile devices, and Sonar is the logical next step,” said Yongzhi Yang, CEO of MoboTap, the makers of the Dolphin Browser. SEE ALSO: Dolphin Launches Gesture-Based Browser for the iPad Dolphin Sonar is not yet available for iOS devices. Have you tried the Dolphin browser?

How I would change the Galaxy Note PhoneDog Media ExclusiveDownload iM5, now available in the App Store and Google Play. iM5 is a PhoneDog Media backed Social Platform to inspire real-life action through the crowdsourcing of ideas. See the video I've been talking a lot about the Galaxy Note lately. So far, I absolutely love the Galaxy Note. Here are the things I would change about the Note if I could: Larger display with on-screen buttons It's funny, really. The Galaxy Note obviously doesn't come with Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. It's not that the buttons are bad. Button and port placement I hate to keep referencing the Galaxy Nexus, but with the Nexus, the button and port placement was perfect. Of course, unlike Nokia's Lumia devices, the button placement on the Note is very similar to the button layout on the Nexus. Also, I have always preferred the audio jack to be on the bottom of a phone rather than the top. The ability to make the display dimmer I'm not complaining about how bright the display can get, though.
