Google and Apple: Giants of the Mobile Industry
,----[ Quote ]
| The Google Android on the other hand, is a
| mobile platform made by Google based on the
| concept of open source technology established
| by Linux. There are many apps and features in
| the Android that are not possible in the
| iPhone (until recently) that makes use of a
| majority of major device functions. Last
| January, Google launched a self branded smart
| phone named the Nexus One. While the device
| itself was not a commercial success, it
| galvanized Googleâs place as a major player in
| the mobile phone industry

The New UI for ARM Based Ubuntu Devices
,----[ Quote ]
| ARM based platforms traditionally have a problem
| with graphics drivers and free software.
| Encumbered by licensing issues, many platforms
| only ship with 2D based drivers whilst the 3D
| driver-enabled offerings only frequent the
| poshest of circles such as Nokia's N900. There
| are exceptions, but its a painful reality at the
| moment.
|
| Vendors are trying to work around it, especially
| as there is the expectation of a ramp-up in the
| availability of ARM based hardware. Super long-
| life netbooks, low powered touch based computers,
| and even a flurry of smaller embedded devices are
| forecast to hit the market this year, many of
| which will be based on the Linux operating
| system. Ubuntu would be a great match for this.
