Five Features We Want to See in Android
,----[ Quote ]
| The most exciting part of our interview with Mozilla
| Mobile VP Jay Sullivan was when he mentioned how
| Fennec, a Firefox-based mobile browser (that might land
| on Android someday), will give Firefox users the
| ability to sync browser history, passwords, bookmarks,
| or even the last set of tabs opened. Google can likely
| go beyond these basics, and should. The only thing
| better than a fast and snappy browser is one that's a
| simple extension of your already-snappy desktop
| browser.

Study: Android's on a Mobile Web Tear
,----[ Quote ]
| The ad marketplace AdMob has released a study that
| looks at how often the ads on its network are accessed
| by various mobile platforms. The iPhone ruled the roost
| at 40 percent, but Android's figures showed
| considerably growth. "Android phones actually have only
| four to five percent of the U.S. market, and they
| account for 13 percent of usage of AdMob's network,"
| said JBB Research CEO Julien Blin. "That's interesting."

Android answers call for free smartphone software
,----[ Quote ]
| Google decided to create a better operating system for mobile phones, just as
| Microsoftâs Windows helps a user to operate a PC. Unlike Windows, however,
| Googleâs software for mobiles, called Android, would be free and âopen
| sourceâ.
|
| The open source concept has been used in other technological advances ranging
| from web browsers, such as Mozillaâs 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.
