Qualcommâs Snapdragon for all Android Phones
,----[ Quote ]
| Qualcommâs Snapdragon is really getting
| around these days. Not too long after Sony
| Ericsson confirmed that their XPERIA X10
| will have an Android operating system
| running on the 1 GHz processor, we now find
| LG announcing its own Snapdragon Android
| mobile phone.

Mesa Comes To Android-based x86 Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| If you pay attention to the Mesa3D
| development mailing list at all you will
| have noticed quite a number of messages
| lately from Chia-I Wu, who has been pushing
| a good number of patches lately. Largely
| his work has pertained to OpenGL ES support
| for mobile devices, but his intentions are
| now known. Chia-I Wu is bringing Mesa
| (Gallium3D inclusive) to Android. In
| particular, Chia-I is focusing on running
| Mesa under Android on Intel-powered
| netbooks.

Android, Maemo, and Moblin
,----[ Quote ]
| Introduced to the consumer market just over
| a year ago, the Google Android platform has
| rapidly evolved since its commercial
| release. In that time, it has moved from a
| 1.0 to a 2.0 version and expanded its
| hardware and wireless vendor market from
| one to many with more coming into the fold
| every month. This aggressive release
| schedule coupled with frequent SDK
| iterations has generated considerable
| momentum and buzz for the platform.
| Additionally, Google's relatively seamless
| integration of their core services into the
| device elevates its baseline functionality
| beyond ordinary smartphone status.

HTC Tattoo Phone: Review and suggested price
,----[ Quote ]
| Spec wise the HTC Tattoo packs Android OS
| 1.6 Donut, but sadly not up to Android 2.0
| but does feature HTCâs Sense user
| interface. There is also a 3.2 megapixel
| camera, which isnât too stunning, and the
| Qualcomm 528MHz processor may be a touch
| lightweight leading to some screen lag. The
| HTC Tattoo is basically a good Android
| offering for the asking price of Â280 SIM
| free.

HTC Tattoo cut-price Android smartphone
,----[ Quote ]
| Android smartphones are fast losing their
| novelty status as more manufacturers get to
| grips with Google's open source operating
| system and go the widget way, often
| developing their own individual take of the
| basic style. Motorola and Samsung have been
| recent converts - with their Dext and
| Galaxy, respectively - but Taiwanese firm
| HTC was the first, and has been churning
| out variations on the theme with steady
| regularity.

Android Gaining on Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| In fact, Financial Times reporter Chris
| Nuttall claims, Android could soon emerge
| as the major smartphone that isn't the
| iPhone. Android systems now operate on 12
| different phones with 32 phone carriers
| supporting them around the world. And
| Motorola, HTC, and Samsung are all busy
| developing their own Android-based
| handsets.

O'Brien: Why I was wrong about Google's Android
,----[ Quote ]
| It's time for me to do a mea culpa on
| Android.
|
| Google unveiled plans for its mobile
| operating system about two years ago, and
| rolled out the first phone based on
| Android about a year later. In both cases,
| I predicted doom.
|
| But I was wrong.
|
| I finally came to terms with this the
| other day while watching one of those
| suddenly ubiquitous "iDon't" ads on TV. If
| you haven't seen one, the ads slam the
| shortcomings of the iPhone ("iDon't have
| interchangeable batteries") while
| trumpeting the pending arrival of the
| Droid sometime in November.
|
| In this case, Droid is a smart-phone built
| by Motorola for Verizon that uses Android.
| Add those three corporate behemoths
| together, and you have some serious
| marketing dollars available to push this
| thing, whatever it actually turns out to
| be.

Should Microsoft fear invasion of the Androids?

Android 2.0: The iPhone killer at last?
,----[ Quote ]
| In its three years, the iPhone has
| redefined the mobile device. But despite
| the iPhone's popularity, it is by no means
| certain to become the mobile equivalent of
| Windows, the dominant platform that
| defines our experience of a particular
| technology, as well as the business
| choices that surround it.
|
| Google's Android 2.0 OS is the latest in a
| series of mobile offerings seeking to
| derail the iPhone's momentum. Backed by
| heavyweights Google, Motorola, Verizon
| Wireless, Acer, and other big-name
| manufacturers, Android could potentially
| knock the iPhone down a peg. After all,
| while users love the iPhone, Apple's
| controlling tendencies have frustrated
| developers, and its disrespect for
| business concerns have frustrated IT.
