| But I have to admit, the Nexus One is a 
| winner. I wasn't enthusiastic about buying 
| a phone on the internet sight unseen, but 
| the day it was reported that it finally had 
| the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided 
| to take the plunge. I've wanted to have a 
| GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought 
| that google navigation might finally make a 
| phone useful.

Kernel 2.6.32 for your Nexus One

,----[ Quote ]
| The Nexus One ships with a 2.6.29 kernel 
| but if you like living on the bleeding edge 
| you can install your own kernel (e.g. the 
| experimental 2.6.32 kernel). Below youâll 
| find an update image I built which includes 
| a 2.6.32 kernel, su, scp and ssh.

Word of caution:

Symbian Operating System, Now Open Source and Free

,----[ Quote ]
| Similar as it may sound to Androidâs 
| promise, there are major differences, says 
| Williams. âAbout a third of the Android 
| code base is open and nothing more,â says 
| Williams. âAnd what is open is a collection 
| of middleware. Everything else is closed or 
| proprietary.â

HTC releases Droid Eris source code

,----[ Quote ]
| HTCâs been pretty good about celebrating
| the open-source spirit of Android. Whenever
| they release a new Android device, the
| source code for whatever goods they added
| on top of the stock firmware comes pouring
| in before too long.
