Mobile Roadie Now Creates Apps For Android Ecosystem
,----[ Quote ]
| Weâre big fans of Mobile Roadie, a startup
| that helps develop iPhone apps. But the one
| gripe we had was that Mobile Roadie was
| limited to the iPhone platform. Today, our
| wish came true as Mobile Roadie is launching
| functionality for Android phones.

Google snubs Chinese Android developers
,----[ Quote ]
| But in January Google did postpone the
| Chinese launch of two Android handsets - one
| Samsung and one Motorola - saying that it
| would be "irresponsible" to launch them when
| the search giant's own future in China was
| so uncertain.
|
| With no Android handsets launched it would
| have been a strange developer conference in
| Beijing, and cancelling the appearance will
| put more pressure on the Chinese government
| while making Google look good at home.

Quake 3 Comes To Google's Android Platform
,----[ Quote ]
| Almost exactly one month ago we reported
| that Roderick Colenbrander was working on a
| new open-source project after his once-
| popular NVClock program has since largely
| faded away. Details were scarce on the
| project originally, but we knew it was to do
| with Linux gaming. Today we now know that
| this project is called "Kwaak3" and it's a
| port of Quake 3 to Google's Android
| platform.

HTC Hero Review
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, this is a good phone for most
| people, since it provides everything that
| they need, however it has some lag,
| especially if there are many apps running,
| and it provides some limitations. Still,
| android+sense makes this phone really shine,
| and the lag has been reduced since the
| original phone with one update, and the new
| android 2 OS seems to bring some performance
| improvements which could further improve on
| this. However, this phone, to be great,
| deserved much better hardware (something
| like an AMOLED screen, snapdragon and 512MB
| ram), a decent camera, a sync app for Linux
| and only a few more pollishing made to the
| android OS (full bluetooth support and paid
| apps in market more specifically).

Three short stories, all about Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Clearly, free applications exist for Android.
| But finding them takes work, which is silly;
| this is a perfect job for a computer. An ideal
| solution would be for Google to add a "freely-
| licensed" option to its (proprietary) market
| application. Failing that, it should be
| possible (for somebody with a bit more Android
| application-level programming experience than
| your editor) to put together an alternative
| market application which would focus on the
| growing body of free software for the Android
| system. It is an area worthy of encouragement;
| free software doesn't become less important
| just because it's running on a machine that
| fits into a shirt pocket.
