Android and Linux are growing back together
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's Android, the increasingly important
| embedded Linux, had one major problem: it had
| been moving slowly away from the Linux
| mainstream. Now, after the recent Linux
| Foundation Collaboration Conference, Android
| and Linux are coming back together.
|
| Not only is Google going to be hiring two new
| Android developers to work more closely with
| the Linux kernel development team, they're
| also working on re-merging its driver code
| with Linux. Indeed, the first series of driver
| patches that will bring Android and Linux back
| into alignment have already arrived.

Google open source guru says Android code will be in Linux kernel in time
,----[ Quote ]
| Googleâs Android code will assume its
| rightful place in the Linux kernel â in
| good time, the companyâs top open source
| guru says.
|
| The Android code was stripped out of the
| last kernel release, version 2.6.33, after
| Google reportedly failed to provide
| necessary changes and subsystem code
| required by kernel.org.

Android comes to landline phones
,----[ Quote ]
| At CeBIT this week, Motorola demonstrated an
| Android-based "HS1001" cordless IP phone
| manufactured by Binatone and built around the
| DSP Group's DECT-compatible XpandR chipset.
| Meanwhile, DSP Group showed its own Android-
| based IP phone reference design based on the
| XpandR II chipset.
|
| For much of the last decade, Linux-based
| landline-based IP phones made regular
| appearances on LinuxDevices, but with the
| rise of mobile phones, such announcements
| have become fewer and farther between. The
| few IP phones we've covered recently are
| typically multimedia tablet/kitchen-computer
| designs, such as the already defunct, Linux-
| based Verizon Hub, built by OpenPeak,
| OpenPeak's Linux-based OpenFrame IP phone, or
| the Android-based Glass reference platform
| from Cloud Telecomputers. Typically, in these
| designs, IP telephony is just one feature
| among many other multimedia and Web browsing
| capabilities.
