Orange To Launch Android Handset Boston
,----[ Quote ]
| The Boston is expected to ship with
| Google's Android 1.6 operating system on
| board, which might not sound that great,
| though it seems that software updates are
| set to arrive after launch. I can't wait to
| hear more about this phone, it looks very
| attractive.

Why Verizonâs Skype client forces Android Wi-Fi shutdown
,----[ Quote ]
| Verizon Wireless users with Android-based
| devices â most notably the popular Motorola
| Droid â are not able to run the new Skype
| Mobile client with the phoneâs Wi-Fi radio
| turned on. The consequence: Users can
| either turn Wi-Fi on the device off
| completely, forcing all data services to
| run over the Verizon 3G network, or leave
| Wi-Fi on and be unable to use Skype Mobile
| to make calls or even have it running in
| the background, the major of appeal of the
| app in the first place.

Android/HTC Desire Question
,----[ Quote ]
| I've read it's down to something to do with
| android being Linux based, with application
| piracy also to blame. This aint the case
| for the HTC devices running windows mobile
| as they can save to external memory cards.

Reflective color displays are tablet-ready

| Pixel Qi says its first product, a 10.1-

| now available to manufacturers. The
| technology will appear in the Notion Ink's
| Android-based Adam tablet, and is rumored
| to be a part of OLPC's Linux-ready ,
| third-generation XO-3 design. In addition,
| a blog entry last month by Jepsen stated
| that kits will be available during the
| second quarter allowing users to install
| Pixel Qi screens in their existing laptops
| in "a five minute operation."

My week with an iPad
,----[ Quote ]
| For instance, I opened an SSH session to a
| Linux server with iSSH to check on some
| things, then received a colleague's IM,
| served up via push notifications. This
| required me to quit iSSH to return the IM,
| then go through the reconnection process to
| get back to where I was. The same thing
| happened with RDP sessions -- not cool at
| all. Apple's April 8 iPhone OS 4 event
| showed off multitasking features in the new
| OS version, but I'm going to reserve
| judgement until I can see it myself.
|
| Also, several high-profile iPad apps are
| simply buggy and slow. One of the apps
| touted at the iPad announcement was MLB at
| Bat 2010. It was visually impressive and
| offered features, such as pitch
| trajectories, not found in the original
| iPhone app. Being a baseball fan, I bought
| it for $14.99 on the first day I had the
| iPad. Since then I've found it lacking in
| many areas. It's slow, it consistently
| fails to update game information, it
| crashed several times, and the video
| quality lacks luster. Oh, and there's no
| sign of that pitch trajectory feature
| demoed at the announcement.

Neofonie launches the WePad tablet at a German press event
,----[ Quote ]
| Honestly, at this point I didnât feel like
| there was much I didnât already know about
| the WePad, the German iPad competitor with
| a kind of almost clever name. We already
| knew it would have an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768
| multitouch display and 1.66GHz Intel Atom
| N450 CPU and run a custom version of Linux
| with a touch-friendly interface. And we
| knew it was based on a Taiwanese design.

Dual-Screen HTC Tablet in the Works?
,----[ Quote ]
| Looks like HTC has just filed a patent for
| a device that would feature dual
| touchscreens in a clamshell design. Many
| are comparing the device to the Microsoft
| Courier, a similarly dual-screened device,
| but the Courier would be lacking one key
| element that is sure to make its way on to
| this interesting HTC design: Android.

Could Copyright Hold Back iPad Sales In Canada And Elsewhere?
,----[ Quote ]
| As it's become clear that the iPad is more
| of a "content delivery vehicle" than an
| interactive device (and there's nothing
| wrong with that), people are quickly
| discovering how regional licensing issues
| and copyright may hold the device back in
| some areas.

iPad security broken in less than 24 hours
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple's iPad has already been jailbroken,
| using a variation of the iPhone method and
| demonstrating just how much the two devices
| have in common.
|
| The hack was completed in less than 24
| hours. In theory it enables the owner to
| install everything from Wi-Fi scanners to
| pornography - applications Apple
| disapproves of - though for the moment it
| just allows a remote terminal connection.
