iPhone vs Android? Still wondering?
,----[ Quote ]
| 2. So far, Google hasnât tried to censor
| Android applications the way Apple have
| been censoring their app store. Iâm an
| adult and I really resent being told what
| kind of applications I can run on my
| phone. If someone told me what apps I
| could run on my computer, Iâd have some
| choice words for them too. Applications
| censored have included gay content and
| political satire.
|
| 3. Android is available on a wide range of
| devices. I had a choice between products
| by Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC and
| Motorola. There are phones with hardware
| qwerty keyboards, although most are
| touchscreen phones. Also, the hardware is,
| in many ways, better. You can remove the
| battery from all of them, they have room
| to expand the memory using Micro SD cards
| (the industry standard) and use the micro-
| USB charging socket, which means cheaper
| and more readily available accessories for
| your device. You can also get a new
| battery â or a second battery, even, in
| case youâre ever caught out.

Google I/O 2010: Day of the Droids
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has lined up support from Sony,
| Logitech, and Intel for the Google TV
| initiative. Thatâs a start, but not nearly
| enough for this thing to take off. There
| is a lot of skepticism that anyone can
| pull this off, and many will wait and see
| before committing. It may take a while
| (read: years), but this one has a lot of
| potential. After all there are over 4
| billion TV watchers out there - an
| audience that dwarfs even the mobile phone
| market. The first hardware will be on sale
| in time for this yearâs holiday season.
