G1 bootloader dumped: big step forward for G1 jailbreakers
,----[ Quote ]
| Jailbreaking allows users to gain read-write access to a device's entire file
| system, removing the limits set by Unix jail. Shortly after T-Mobile's G1 was
| jailbroken, Google responded by "fixing" the jailbreak exploit. The exploit
| had let users customize their system and install Jay Freeman's Debian for G1,
| a full set of Unix system tools. The RC30 update prevented anyone with
| factory-standard firmware from accessing their device's root file system.

Google Exec: Android To Beat iPhone
,----[ Quote ]
| Rich Miner even went after Apple's handheld darling. "Once you have devices
| out there from Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and so on, there's a much larger
| potential market on Android than for the iPhone," he said. "[T]here's a
| single manufacturer, it's targeted at a particular demographic, and it falls
