Phone Modders, Take Note: HTC Releases Hero Source Code
,----[ Quote ]
| In response to the mobile devs, HTC has
| previously stated it was waiting for its own
| developers to provide the source before
| releasing it publicly. As late as last week,
| HTC representatives had emailed developers
| saying, "At the moment we do not know when
| the kernel source for the Hero will be
| released," and "We are still pushing our
| developers to provide us with the source
| code and for the links to be added." Since
| the Android kernel is licensed under the
| GPL, this delay was creating both
| dissatisfaction and controversy in the
| community.

Motorola Droid Website Accidentally Goes Live,
Shuts Down Just As Quickly
,----[ Quote ]
| Droid does replaceable batteries, Droid does
| open source, Droid also apparently does
| marketing mishaps. A Motorola employee
| accidentally launched the official Motorola
| Droid webpage before quickly taking it down.
| While the site is now dormant we have a
| screenshot and a bunch of the specs thanks
| to the mistake.

cellphone manufacturers
,----[ Quote ]

| been successful in attracting significantly
| more applications for consumers in its first

Native C port of Tor for Android - Update
,----[ Quote ]
| Developer Nathan Freitas has announced that
| the native C Tor application has been
| successfully ported to Android, including an
| application that "installs, runs and
| provides the glue needed to make it useful
| to end users". The Onion Router, commonly
| referred to as Tor, is free software
| designed to provide internet anonymity to
| users while browsing online. It does this by
| bouncing the communications around a
| distributed network of relays run by
| volunteers from all around the world,
| preventing visited sites from learning a
| users physical location.

| Coverity received funding from the Department of Homeland Security in 2006 as
| part of a three year project to analyse open source software for
| vulnerabilities, though at the time the focus was on Linux, the Apache web
| server, the Bind DNS server and Firefox.
