INTERVIEW: Sony Ericssonâs head of partner engagement

| Yes and no. On one hand you want to have a 
| completely open environment, open standards 
| and, where possible, open-source and a means 
| of collaborating and sharing around a lot of 
| things. On the other hand, giving the 
| developers and the creators the freedom of 
| choice and freedom of expression - the more 
| you do that it really becomes difficult in 
| terms of driving things in a very consistent 
| manner.

EnterpriseDB Tapped For Online Gaming 

,----[ Quote ]
| It's the first use of EnterpriseDB Postgres 
| Plus Advanced Server, built on the open 
| source PostgreSQL system, for such a 
| demanding online application. EnterpriseDB 
| until now has been largely superceded by the 
| open source MySQL as a Web application 
| database system, given MySQL's early foothold 
| on social networking and blogging sites.

The Return of Sony

,----[ Quote ]
| At its heart, Android is "just" Linux. Sony's
| no stranger to Linuxâthe PlayStation 2 and 3
| both have dabbled with Linux support. But
| Android is Linux-as-platform, a trusted and
| understood consumer branding. (Or, you know,
| that's the goal.) It is, as far as operating
| systems go, as good or better than anything
| Sony has ever cooked up themselves. Rather
| than spending years on disparate software
| platforms for each device, Sony's software
| engineers could spend their time building
| easy-to-use and beautiful user experiences on
| top of a unified platform. (Remind me again
| why the Sony Dash doesn't use Android?)

Sony Ericsson's first Android smartphone to launch in April

,----[ Quote ]
| The phone is Sony Ericsson's first to be
| based on Google's Android operating system
| and is part of an effort to carve out a
| name for itself with phones that include
| social networking as well as entertainment
| functions such as music and movies.
