Just in: Google’s Android OS is coming to the desktop this year
,----[ Quote ]
| Android, you ask? What would a Linux-based phone operating system be doing on
| the desktop? Running it, perhaps. You see, Matthäus Krzykowski and Daniel
| Hartmann, founders of start-up Mobile-facts, discovered late last year that
| Android has two product policies in its code. Product policies, they
| explained, are instructions in an operating system aimed at specific uses.
| Android's two policies are phones and MIDs (mobile Internet devices). You
| probably know MIDs by their more popular name: netbooks.

Android answers call for free smartphone software
,----[ Quote ]
| Google decided to create a better operating system for mobile phones, just as
| Microsoft’s Windows helps a user to operate a PC. Unlike Windows, however,
| Google’s software for mobiles, called Android, would be free and “open
| source”.
|
| The open source concept has been used in other technological advances ranging
| from web browsers, such as Mozilla’s Firefox, to operating systems, such as
| Linux. It means that programmers and developers can have access to the code
| behind the software, essentially its DNA.
