Android begins to gain wider acceptance

,----[ Quote ]
| There are many Linux based mobile platforms 
| available today: Maemo, Openmoko and Android. 
| Of these, it is probably Android that has 
| created the most noise in and out of open 
| sources circles. Until now however there have 
| not been many successful devices running 
| Google's mobile OS, and the ones that exist 
| didn't present much of a challenge to the 
| iPhone. Things are starting to change however.

Google Android: More than just a cheap date

,----[ Quote ]
| That is the power of open source, and it's how 
| Google has made such intelligent use of 
| Android. It's not about freedom from lock-in; 
| it's about freedom to demolish competitors and 
| serve customers by shifting the rules of the 
| game.

Verizon Droid Is The Real Deal

,----[ Quote ]
| Verizon and Motorola finally lifted the curtain 
| on their new Droid Android phone yesterday. 
| Make no mistake, this is Androidâs flagship 
| product, and the first phone that will pose a 
| significant threat to Appleâs iPhone. And it 
| will be available very soon, possibly as early 
| as the end of this month.

Microsoft smartphone OS is a hard sell

,----[ Quote ]
| Amid all the talk last week of a "groundbreaking"
| partnership between Verizon Wireless and Google,
| word of Microsoft launching its revamped operating
| system, Windows Mobile 6.5, and Verizon introducing
| one of the first smartphones to run it, the HTC
| Imagio, largely fell on deaf ears.
|
| Not that I'm surprised.
|
| The Verizon-Google partnership is a big deal. It not
| only ensures Google's touch-screen Android operating
| system will make it onto cell phones nationwide, it
| finally will give consumers a worthy alternative to
| the Apple iPhone and AT&T.
