The specifications says 32 GB is supported. But I haven't heard from any one who is using a card of that much capacity.

The stock music player is good and does the job. Apart from that , there are many free apps to do same. Check it out on Play store. The one i liked was "Beam Player" It is very much beta.

^^ Well, first force closing an app in Android don't really work. Rather use an app like Android Assistant to stop it from starting with your phone altogether.

As far as your vodaphone sim consuming data services is concerned, I am not really sure how Android manages two sims. Its better if you contact Vodaphone CC and turn off the data service.

Android devours Blackberry & Nokias Symbian, captures 68% global market share

There were 4 Android phones for every 1 iPhone shipped in the second quarter, research firm IDC said Wednesday. That's up from a ratio of 2.5 to 1 in the same period last year. Samsung Electronics Co. and other phone makers shipped nearly 105 million Android smartphones in the April-June quarter, giving Android 68 percent of the worldwide market, up from 47 percent last year.

The gains came largely at the expense of BlackBerry phones made by Research in Motion Ltd. and Symbian phones made largely by Nokia Corp. Each saw its market share drop below 5 percent. Nokia is now making phones that use Microsoft Corp.'s Windows system.

The market share for Apple Inc.'s iPhone, powered by its iOS software, fell slightly to 17 percent, from 19 percent. But the company shipped more iPhones than a year ago. Apple is the No. 2 smartphone maker, behind Samsung, and is likely to get a boost when it releases its new iPhone model as expected this fall.

consumers in Developing countries are more likely to buy android and since those markets are still to be captured, droids share should continue will rise.

1. No they are different types of memory (internal/external duh!) it wont cause any problem.
2. Yes you can install apps on memory card partially, if you want to install apps entirely on memory card use link2SD.
3. Sure apps works fine but the most of the widgets that comes /w apps wont work. This will not be a problem if you use link2SD cause it kind of creates a virtual phone memory.

Does evernote need data/internet conn. available everytime I need to use the app ? Or is it just the first time for registering that evernote account?
I don't wanna backup the notes on cloud or anything. Just wanna save the notes my phone.

[Vyom]

^^ can't say about ever note. But I use Colornote to make notes, and quite like it. It doesn't need registration or anything but can take backup on SD card or in your gmail account.

On an Android From the menu, tap ‘Select Offline Notebooks.’ Back in the Settings, be sure to select ‘WiFi Sync Only’ to bypass any potential roaming charges from your data plan provider. Notes that you create using Evernote for Android can still be viewed, even if they are not in a selected offline notebook

ColorNote doesn't have the option of taking snapshot of something and save it as a note. I think it just takes simple text notes.
Eg : Colornote doesn't support Taking a snapshot of a receipt/bill etc and saving it as a note in an organized mode for future reference kinda thing. Evernote do have that feature AFAIK.

Thank you for the info.
I think I should give the Evernote app a try then.

Whoa! That seems handy features.
But I am guessing I just needed a simple note app.

If you don't have the card formatted to an ext partition to use link2sd app, then it's very simple to migrate.
Just put your phone to Mass storage mode, copy all contents of the card to a folder in PC. Then remove the card and replace it with the 16 GB card. Now copy all the contents to that card through PC.
That's it. Just turn off the mass storage mode and tada... !!

Ps: you can even use external card reader to copy the contents. But really, it's that simple.

No. Don't know. Try using google's or TinEye's reverse image search on it.
