Is Android the Closest Thing to a Linux Phone There is Ever Going to Be?
,----[ Quote ]
| Instead of Android being the best that
| Linux will ever get on a portable device,
| itâs actually the first step into having
| open systems on mobile platforms. As
| Android gets into the netbook and tablet
| market, it will only get better for Linux
| users. People will learn to trust these
| open platforms and find out that these work
| out just as well as other types of
| platforms. The flexibility felt with these
| will be superior to other platforms that
| are more closed and controlled where users
| canât make personal choices.

What Makes Android Tick
,----[ Quote ]
| "The open operating system offered by
| Google doesn't necessarily translate to
| openness for users," Hazelton said. "In
| some cases when you lock down a smartphone,
| it's almost like running around the
| Internet on AOL. It's just like going back
| to the 'walled garden' on feature phones."
|
| The idea of openness may have gotten away
| from Google with regard to Android, he
| said. Initially, the goal for Android was
| to create a mobile platform that would
| spotlight Google's features -- maps,
| search, cloud-based applications. The Nexus
| One is Google's attempt to create just that
| phone, even though the versions of Android
| phones sold by other handset makers may not
| live up to the Googleplex's ideal for a
| smartphone.

I/O 2010 Words and Faces
,----[ Quote ]
| I worked like a madman right through I/O
| 2010 and went straight from there to an
| internal meeting and from there to my Momâs
| 80th-birthday bash, so there hasnât been
| much time for reflection. I canât find a
| theme to organize my notes by, so what you
| get is a dozen poorly-sequenced take-aways
| interspersed with seven faces.
|
| The faces are here because I did a bunch of
| short interviews with strangers and got the
| idea of pointing my 40mm pancake prime at
| people straight-on and close-up, and found
| the results compelling enough to share. I
| donât know all the names so I wonât mention
| any.
