VoiceCon: Android Where Art Thou?
,----[ Quote ]
| Why is Android getting such traction? For a
| couple of reasons, but mainly because it is
| free. Google is offering Android as free
| open source software optimized for
| communications. That combined with an
| growing library of applications and
| capabilities makes Android reasonably
| attractive as an embedded operating system.

3 Reasons Why The Nexus One Phone Will Thrive
,----[ Quote ]
| 2) Android Operating System
|
| Yes, Android runs on a lot of different
| phones, but itâs also the operating system
| for the Nexus One phone. The difference
| between the Nexus One and all the other
| phones is that Google owns it and puts its
| own stamp of approval on it.
|
| The open source Android operating system on
| the Nexus One phone means that Google will
| be employing their own engineers to make
| the Nexus One more efficient. This âin
| houseâ approach of Google will more than
| likely launch the Nexus One far ahead of
| their competitors that are equally powered
| by Android.

TheMarker gets up close and personal with Google's top team
,----[ Quote ]
| "Don't worry," Schmidt smiles. There's
| another kind of Android, which is totally
| open source. "Other companies do whatever
| they want, and we don't even know about it.
| So when we go to these conferences, all of
| these random devices show up with Android
| in them, that we've never heard of. Which
| is the benefit of open source and very,
| very exciting. So it looks like we have got
| a huge, huge success with Android."

| I wonât continue on as this is not so much

| my Winmob experience probably prevented me
| from getting excited about it in the past,
| Android and the HTC has changed all that.
| I can now be productive on a mobile and
| whilst the touch screen is not the best
| keyboard in the world for me, Iâm getting
| used to it and am certainly productive if
| Im on the train or wanting to keep up my

Reasons for Root: Report
,----[ Quote ]
| Not quite three weeks ago, I made a request
| in this column for "reasons for root" --
| business arguments why a device
| manufacturer should be willing, perhaps
| even interested, to allow replacement
| firmware and/or root access on their
| devices. That post received a number of
| comments, as did a tweet and a thread on
| the [android-discuss] Google Group.
|
| [...]
|
| Obviously, this report does not include
| every possible argument, specifically
| trying to stay away from emotional or
| ethical points and sticking to business and
| financial ones. I am sure there are more
| ideas and arguments to be made, so I expect
| this report to be a "living document",
| republished periodically, gaining strength
