New Android Platform Announced

,----[ Quote ]
| However, whilst the new versionâs name was 
| mentioned, any other given facts seemed to 
| be severely lacking. Working out of the 
| Mountain View based centre for Androidâs 
| Linux-based kernel, Mr Swetland released 
| only the name of the new version, and said 
| that because development was moving so 
| swiftly, by the time âGingerbreadâ became 
| widely available they would âlikely be on 
| (Linux kernel 2.6.).33 or .34.â

| through each required letter as well as 
| others that are "in the way," and lifting 
| only when the word is completed.

Droid Hack Adds USB Host Capability to Moto's Android Handset
 
,----[ Quote ]
| Members of the device tinkering community 
| have managed successfully get a Droid device 
| to connect to USB peripherals. The Linux-
| based Android OS should be readily 
| extensible, but the hardware that is wrapped 
| around the OS isn't always conducive to all 
| the possibilities. The trick isn't quite 
| polished, it involves making your own USB 
| cord and some cable swapping during a hard 
| boot. It's still a little buggy, but it's a 
| great step forward.
