| order) that we think developers cannot wait
| to get their hands on.

Motorola Shadow glimpsed in the wild: 4.1-inch screen, 8MP camera, OMAP3630 processor?
,----[ Quote ]
| Leave it to the very same poster who teased
| the Motorola Shadow's Getting Started
| manual, wnrussell of Howard Forums, to
| provide a pretty clear shot of the device
| itself -- yep, that's a HDMI out port -- and
| reveal some purported specs. Here's the
| claimed technical details: 4.1-inch screen,
| TI OMAP 3630 processor (a 720MHz ARM Cortex
| A8), 8GB internal storage, 8 megapixel

Android 2.2 Headed to OEMs in Coming Weeks
,----[ Quote ]
| Sending Android 2.2 to OEMs and open
| source community in the coming weeks is a
| good thing, right? Definitely. (Hello
| 2.2 ROM anyone?) Continuing to expect the
| Motorola Droid or Droid Incredible to
| receive the update sometime in June?
| Probably a reach.

Google: Guess what, Apple, we've discovered the internet
,----[ Quote ]
| The war of words between Google and Apple
| â in public at least â has never raged
| more fiercely. On stage, as the search
| company announced the new generation of
| its Android mobile phone operating system,
| Vice President Vic Gundotra repeatedly
| referred disparagingly to the closed
| ecosystem that Apple uses for its
| products.

Google: Android fragmentation isn't fragmentation
,----[ Quote ]
| "Some of the press has called it
| fragmentation, but that's probably the
| wrong word for it," he told reporters last
| week at Google I/O, the company annual
| developer conference. "The better word for
| it is 'legacy.' With these phones and
| devices, the iteration cycle is incredibly
| fast. It used to be that every 18 months,
| a new device would reach the market. But
| we're seeing it happen every three or four
| months. The software obviously has to keep
| up and I don't think anyone is harmed by
| it.

| * anyone can run the software,
| * anyone can examine the source code,
| * anyone can modify the source code,
| and
| * anyone can distribute the code
| unmodified or modified under the same
| licence that comes with the code.
