Introducing DejaOffice for Android-Powered Devices

Android is for real
,----[ Quote ]
| As for Android, even if it was helped along
| by Apple-like advertising campaigns and two-
| for-one offers, the Linux-based, Apache-
| licensed mobile OS has undoubtedly made the
| biggest strides in the modern smartphone
| market weâve seen since iPhone. I recall
| immense skepticism when we indicated in our
| CAOS report Mobility Matters way back in
| November 2008 that the first Android phone on
| the market, the G1, represented an impressive
| first step and a sign of fast, carrier-
| supported development and advancement thanks
| in large part to open source. Regardless of
| how significant its device maker and carrier
| support, including two for one deals, Android
| has done better than expected in the market.
| It certainly marks the furthest a mobile OS
| based on Linux has ever gone.

Michael Dell Confirms Streak 5 for AT&T This Summer
,----[ Quote ]
| Michael Dell, CEO, took to the stage
| yesterday for a keynote speech at the Citrix
| Synergy conference where he promptly teased
| the crowd with a demo of the Streak 5 tablet
| phone. The 5-inch device features a 5-
| megapixel camera, a 800X480 touch display
| with 5 inches viewable screen, and a
| customized build of Android. We aren't sure
| what version of Android the Streak 5 will
| have. Our first glimpse of the device had
| 1.6 on it but enough time has passed to get
| 2.1 loaded.

NTT DoCoMoâs Best Selling Smart Phone Ever is Probably Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
,----[ Quote ]
| We've given the Sony Ericsson Xperia a rough
| go at things here on the site and on some of
| our podcasts. To sum things up we'd have to
| say we're disappointed all around. We wish
| it was more responsive in their Mediascape
| and Timescape apps, we wish it had something
| newer than Android 1.6, we wish it would hit
| the US at some point, etc... Just a general
| sense of letdown.

DROID Does More Commercials
,----[ Quote ]
| Droid Does Augmented reality! Well,
| technically most Android devices can âdoâ
| augmented reality. However, none of the
| other carriers and/or manufacturers are
| promoting the sheer amount and variety of
| Android apps that are available. Even if you
| think the videos are too industrial or crass,
| you have to admit that Verizon is helping to
| gain visibility for our little, green buddy.

How Android Phones Became a Hit
,----[ Quote ]
| So how did this all come together so quickly?
| Looking back over the past three years, it
| seems that Google had a very simple but
| effective plan to push its way into a crowded
| market. Using a combination of free software,
| design simplicity and brand clout, Google has
| succeeded in making an operating system that,
| in just a couple of years, has grown to rival
| the most popular mobile platforms in the
| business.
