Mobile Game-Changers: What to Keep Your Eye on in 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| Android: The New Smartphone Superstar
| Will Apple own mobile applications?
| Perhaps, but with the launch of the Android
| OS and some slick devices: Droid, HTC
| Dream, HTC Eris and the much anticipated
| Nexus One expect more developers to take
| advantage of the openness of this new
| platform. Having the ability to push apps
| live without an approval process, make
| quick updates and leverage open source,
| along with some very cool mobile features
| like the accelerometer and a larger
| developer community, will certainly put
| Android in the race for the most popular
| mobile OS.

Review: Motorola Milestone
,----[ Quote ]
| If you've somehow managed to get through
| the festive period without picking up a new
| phone and you have some change in your
| pocket to use to that end, there are many
| things to love about the Motorola
| Milestone, one of the strongest new
| contenders to the iPhone's well-deserved
| crown.
|
| Engineered to incorporate the Google-backed
| Android operating system, there's some
| impressive hardware behind efforts to fully
| realize Google's vision for mobile
| computing and telephony, delivered through
| a clean and responsive 3.7-inch touchscreen
| and powered by a 550 Mhz processor which
| helps clear up the speed issues which
| troubled earlier Android handsets.
|
| [...]
|
| For the advantages over an iPhone, the list
| is a long one - a superior camera, for a
| start, as well as the ability to run apps
| in the background - so that you can, for
| example, write an email while listening to
| music (the phone incorporates a standard
| headphone jack, and filling it with your
| favourite mp3s is a breeze). But it lacks
| the polish that an Apple product delivers,
| and, at Â450 for the hardware alone, is
| certainly on the pricey side - on top of
| that you're going to need an unlimited data
| plan to even scratch the surface of the
| phone's potential, as well as minutes and
| texts.
