Toward a freer Android

| Linux-based mobile phone platforms are really just 
| specialized distributions. Like other distributions, 
| phone platforms will live or die based on how well 
| they meet the needs of their users. The Android 
| platform has a high profile at the moment as the 
| result of the entry of more handsets into the market, 
| but also as a result of Google's actions toward 
| derived distributions. Android is clearly not meeting 
| the needs of all its users currently, but changes are 
| afoot which may improve the situation.

Android opens doors for Google's next-gen search, ads and tools

| Thereâs no question that thereâs been some pretty 
| astounding growth around Android, Googleâs open-
| source mobile phone operating system. A year ago, 
| there was only one Android device out there - the T-
| Mobile G-1. Today, Android is powering 12 devices in 
| 26 countries with 32 carriers - and thereâs more on 
| the way.

| That said, warts and all I found this to be a
| helpful way to get my feet wet with Android. I
| really look forward to future versions as I
| think just a little more time and work will
| move this from my 'good' list to my 'great'
| list. Making things a little tighter and
| cleaning up the few typos and errors would
| certainly make this an 8 instead of an 7,
| which is really substantial in my mind. I'm no
| super developer and I need stuff like this,
| that can take things a little more slowly and
| make it all clear. I think this guide is great
| for those of us in that category as long as
| the reader is o.k. with hopping to external
| sources for the information they'll need to
| get the newer tool set working.
