Motorola Dext Android smartphone
,----[ Quote ]
| Indeed, the Dext has a gorgeous touchscreen,
| a fine Qwerty keyboard, good browser plus a
| reasonable camera and media players. User
| friendly, it offers plenty of potential for
| personalisation, along with growing range of
| apps plus Motoblur's ability to keep you up
| to the second with your social networks.
| After the last few years of underwhelming
| variations on a Razr theme, Motorola has
| made a serious attempt to knock back the
| doubters with the Dext and, in all honesty,
| we're a little surprised that it has come up
| with such a strong offering.

Verizon Droid's Secret Weapon: Android 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Actually, Verizon did sort of put that on
| the iDon't list, just not in those words.
| The original iDon't list includes both
| âiDon't allow open development' and âiDon't
| customize', both of which imply that the
| Droid does those things which means the
| Droid provides a customizable, open
| development platform that business customers
| can work with.

Two Unexpected, Potential Scenarios for Android
,----[ Quote ]
| We've done a number of posts lately on the
| incredible momentum that the open source
| Android operating system has. It's being
| supported by nearly every major smartphone
| maker, with players such as Acer and Motorola
| putting huge bets behind it. Acer's new
| "Liquid" Android smartphone has the trendy
| Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm built in, a sign
| that the OS could boost the prospects of
| cutting-edge new processors.
|
| [...]
|
| Scenario 2: An Android Foundation? ZDNet asks
| the excellent question, "Should Google Spin
| Android Into a Foundation?" Foundations, such
| as the Apache Foundation, can have an
| enormously positive impact on open source
| platforms and applications. But ZDnet's Dana
| Blankenhorn points this out: "It doesnât
| always work. Witness LiMo, which Motorola
| recently abandoned for Android. Witness
| Moblin, which Intel gave to the Linux
| Foundation. Witness Symbian itself for that
| matter." He also points out that foundations
| lead to lots of forks, which raises the
| possibility of problems like the ones cited in
| scenario one above. Would an Android
| foundation necessarily be good? What do you
| think?
