How to unlock the bootloader on your Nexus One
,----[ Quote ]
| So we rooted the Nexus One. Before it was
| out. Without a device. Neat, but many
| knowledgeable commentators in the Android
| community noted that the root was only
| possible due to the engineering bootloader
| shipped on the devices distributed by
| Google, and that retail devices would likely
| have locked bootloaders. We told them not to
| worry... and here's why.
|
| [...]
|
| It's easy too! Google WANTS you to be able
| to do whatever you please on your Nexus One,
| but they also want you to be aware of the
| consequences.

Google and the Great White Open Spaces
,----[ Quote ]
| Google is such a large company, and with
| increasingly large ambitions, that it is
| often hard keeping tabs on all of its
| activities. That's particularly the case at
| the moment, when most of the tech world is
| understandably focussing on the imminent
| launch of Google's own Android phone.
|
| But important as these events are, we
| shouldn't overlook some of the less well-
| publicised, but nonetheless strategic, moves
| it is making elsewhere. Perhaps the best
| example of that can be found in the field of
| open spectrum.

| Google leads with the fact that this is as
| much about *how* people buy phones, as what
| that phone is. As many commentators have
| noted, that's a reflection of Google's long-
| term plans to break the grip that the
| current mobile phone companies have on this
| sector, but it needs to proceeds cautiously,
| step by step, so as not to frighten the
| animals â hence the very limited scope of
| the present announcement.

Ten Technologies That Will Rock 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| Android: Last year saw the launch of nearly
| two dozen Android-powered phones, including
| the Verizon Droid. In a few days, Googleâs
| Nexus One will launch as the first Android
| phone which can be unlocked from any given
| carrier (it is launching with T-Mobile).
| Android is Googleâs answer to the iPhone,
| and as it reaches critical mass across
| multiple carriers and handsets it is
| becoming increasingly attractive to
| developers. There are already more than
| 10,000 apps on Android, next year there will
| be even more. And other devices running on
| the mobile OS are launching as well.

Superphone is Just Another Word for Personal Computer
,----[ Quote ]
| It's long been argued that FLOSS advocates
| should be looking at the next generation of
| computing devices. That strategy is paying
| off. More than 1.4 million Google Android
| (that's Linux) devices shipped in the third
| quarter of 2009. It's too early for numbers
| in the fourth quarter, but you can bet that
| they're even higher. In three months, that's
| 1.4 million users adopting Linux for
| personal computing. Granted, still a
| minority next to other smartphones, but the
| Nexus One looks ready to give other
| smartphone vendors a run for their money.

| For others, the move into equipment will in
| time fragment the Android OS world, so that
| some handset makers could develop their own
| Linux kernel based on Android, or put a
| middleware layer on top of Android, while
| remaining compatible with Android apps.
