| eBook readers.

Why Nexus One is bad for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Certainly Google is a good open source
| citizen and they contribute back to Linux
| and the broader open source community (so
| I'm not knocking them on that front, cause
| they're awesome there). But nexus one grows
| the Google Android community first and
| foremost and Linux only by association.
| It's not the bold vision of the Linux phone
| world that existed a few years ago, it's a
| Google vision.

Is Nexus One "bad" for Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, Google accomplished something
| I've wanted to see for a very, very long
| time: A Linux-based personal computing
| device getting enormous mainstream
| coverage. Granted, you weren't hearing the
| word "Linux," much in the coverage, but
| it's still a good thing in my book.

Android Madness at CES: Fad or Future?
,----[ Quote ]
| The wave of announcements appears to
| validate earlier predictions that the open-
| source Linux-based Android would become a
| major player in the mobile market, although
| market acceptance of the Google-backed OS
| may have taken longer than first expected.

HP Experiments With Android
,----[ Quote ]
| This machine's presence at the show isn't
| nearly the big deal it might be, for one
| simple reason: HP says it's just
| experimenting with Android. This is a
| concept PC, and there's no news about its
| chances of turning into a shipping product
| you can buy. Still, you gotta figure that
| if HP has gone through the bother of
| building this prototype, there's a real
| chance it'll commercialize it in 2010.

Turn Your Android Phone Into A Real Star Trek Tricorder
,----[ Quote ]
| This review is of the Star Trek Tricorder
| open source Android project by Moonblink.
| Iâve used the popular Tricorder theme with
| my previous phone, a Windows Mobile device,
| but I never imagined that a day would come
| when I would be able to use an actual
| Tricorder application which could actually
| sense environmental factors like magnetic
| flux, acceleration, sound waves and even
| solar activity. Ladies and gentlemen and
| starship cadets, I would like to present to
| you an application that does just that, not
| only for the Droid, but for any Android
| mobile device with at least most of the
| appropriate sensors.
