Nexus One gives the iPhone a run for its money
,----[ Quote ]
| Google made a wise decision when it decided
| to release an open source mobile operating
| system â it has allowed it to quickly
| infiltrate the smartphone market because of
| the business model: itâs free and open source
| like Linux.
|
| Despite this, most of the Android devices on
| the market today are not really true
| competitors to the iPhone, due to the
| immaturity, sluggishness and the availability
| of apps. But with the release of the latest
| device, the HTC Nexus One running Android
| v2.1, Android is finally becoming a threat to
| the iPhone, which has held its own for almost
| two years as the most desirable mobile
| device.

Nexus One changes in availability
,----[ Quote ]
| But, as with every innovation, some parts
| worked better than others. While the global
| adoption of the Android platform has exceeded
| our expectations, the web store has not. Itâs
| remained a niche channel for early adopters,
| but itâs clear that many customers like a
| hands-on experience before buying a phone,
| and they also want a wide range of service
| plans to chose from.

Is this T-Mobile USâs Galaxy S? UPDATE
,----[ Quote ]
| This is another one of those posts that could
| be way off the mark, but it could be right
| on. Howard Chui from howardchui.com recently
| posted a video walkthrough of the Samsung
| Galaxy S. If you will kindly take note of the
| icons in the screen shot to the right, youâll
| notice there are a couple recognizable icons
| there, icons that are commonly found on T-
| Mobile US Android devices. Iâve looked
| through several Galaxy S videos from CTIA and
| none of the demos show these icons in the app
| tray, only this video.

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."
