Official: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Will Get Android 2.1 in Q4
,----[ Quote ]
| Android 2.1 will go a long way to put the
| Xperia X10 on the same playing field as
| other smart phones. However, we can't help
| but think it may still be a little too late
| for most people. Keep an eye out for minor
| updates in the interim as they're already
| scheduled for the next few weeks.

G-1 to Nexus One: an informal comparison
,----[ Quote ]
| My wife thinks itâs significant that the
| Nexis One is thinner and lighter than the
| G-1. I donât, really, but then I have
| larger hands and larger pockets than she
| does. Sheâs probably right that this
| difference will matter more to the average
| mass-market consumer than it does to me.
|
| The biggest surprise to me about the Nexus
| One is that Iâm missing the physical
| keyboard on the G-1 far less than I thought
| I would. I found the soft keyboard on the
| G-1 annoying and difficult to use, but
| something about the Nexus One version makes
| it significantly easier. This could be a
| consequence of the larger display size, or
| possibly the touch-recognition software has
| improved, or perhaps itâs both. The
| effectiveness of the Nexus Oneâs voice-to-
| text feature helps here.
|
| [..]
|
| Overall, however, the Nexus is indeed a
| clear improvement on the G-1. It points the
| way Android is going pretty unambiguously â
| towards head-to-head competition with the
| iPhone, rather than simply vacuuming up the
| market share of dumb phones and lesser
| competitors such as Symbian and Windows
| Mobile.
|
| In at least one respect â the voice-to-text
| capabilty â Android is already ahead of
| anything iPhone offers or is ever likely to
| be able to support. Thereâs a huge
| infrastructure of statistical pattern-
| matching engines in the Google-cloud behind
| it that Apple wonât be able to replicate
| easily, if at all.
