Motorola Prototype Surfaces, Yet Another Form Factor
,----[ Quote ]
| You have to give Motorola credit for not
| churning out the same handset over and
| over. It's simple to take the route of
| either a slab phone or sliding QWERTY, yet
| Motorola keeps coming up with various form
| factors for Android. Take a look at the
| pictures below and you'll see the first
| images of a Motorola phone which borrows a
| tad from the KRAVE ZN4 design.

Hands on T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
,----[ Quote ]
| We previously reported that several hundred
| myTouch 3G Slide phones were gifted to
| select T-Mobile employees last week in Las
| Vegas. These units were handed out early in
| a joint effort by T-Mobile and HTC so users
| could test out the phones and provide their
| feedback before launch. One of our sources
| was lucky enough to receive this phone and
| they were nice enough to provide us with a
| 30 minute virtual hands on.

HTC Desire To Launch On U.S. Cellular This Summer
,----[ Quote ]
| If you don't know by now( and you probably
| do), the HTC Desire is a top-notch
| smartphone. Featuring Android 2.1, a 5
| megapixel camera with flash, and a 3.7â
| WVGA AMOLED screen, the Desire is loaded up
| with HTCâs custom Sense user interface,
| which many find classier than stock
| Android.

Comparing Apples and Androids
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Google perfect? Of course not, but at
| least with respect to Android, they are a
| more welcome dance partner than Apple at
| present.
|
| As a good friend recently commented to me
| about a situation out of my control, âyou
| cannot always make other people do the
| right thingâ.
|
| Letâs hope Apple relents and we can
| continue loving and hating them based on
| technology alone.

Google bypassing Chrome OS for its tablet device?
,----[ Quote ]
| Google is reportedly working on a tablet
| computer based on its Android operating
| system, not the Chrome OS. Google has
| declined to comment on the tablet rumor,
| but that hasn't stopped analysts from
| mulling over the operating system choice.

Apple iPhone vs. Android Multitasking: A Comparison
,----[ Quote ]
| So, you can read the whole thing but he
| starts with Android: applications that are no
| longer visible to the user are suspended --
| remaining in memory but without event
| handling or processing.
|
| [...]
|
| Quintana concludes by noting that if Apple
| introduced Android-like unrestricted
| multitasking, "all current [iPhone]
| applications that might take advantage of
| background processing would require a
| redesign to use a client/service
| architecture. Developers would have to
| maintain a completely different app for pre-
| iPhone OS 4 devices or iPhone OS 4 devices
| with no multitasking. In addition, the
| backend server infrastructure required for
| PNS would only be used for pre-iPhone OS 4
| devices and non-multitasking iPhone OS 4.
| This would fragment development severely."

How Could Android Ever Be Considered âThe Evil OSâ?
,----[ Quote ]
| Taking a quick look at the definition of
| âopen sourceâ provided to us by the Open
| Source Initiative â who is highly regarded as
| the authority in what âopen sourceâ is â I
| have to present the question: where is Google
| stepping outside of any lines to call Android
| so? Source code is readily available,
| compilable, downloadable, freely distributed,
| properly licensed, free to be modified (for
| use with any field without discrimination),
| and it definitely isnât an OS that is
| restricted to be used on anything other than
| phones.
