Quake seen running on Android at CTIA
Tuesday, April 08 @ 15:27:01 EDT by admin (45 reads) |  Google just always has to be the best. They managed to one-up the "Can it play Doom" jokesters out there by running Quake on a Qualcomm handset at CTIA. The results were perfect: smooth gameplay and fast networking.

Fragmentation Intended by Android
Saturday, April 05 @ 14:04:41 EDT by admin (44 reads) | Thats what the chief operating officer of the chipset division at wireless technology and solution firm Qualcomm had to say about Google Android purpose while speaking to the Register.
That
was not all, he went on to state that Google wants to ensure that there
is no equivalent of Microsoft Office in the mobile phone market. So it
seems Google's plan for Android is more than just offering an Linux
based Open-Source operating system, making sure that Microsoft does not get a iron grip on the mobile market with it's office products is very important.
Microsoft's
Office Suite in my opinion is the best that they have to offer, and as
bad as they are that fact cannot be denied. Google Applications are
very important for Google going forward with Android, i mean, thats one
of the reasons they push for openness in the FCC Wireless Spectrum so
Google Applications are no lomger restricted from being downloaded on
to Android Devices.

General: AT&T courting the idea of Android
Thursday, April 03 @ 12:31:31 EDT by admin (85 reads) | Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, or simply naivity of the "ramifications" of having an open-source (Read: not locked down by AT&T) phone, but yesterday at CTIA, Ralph de la Vega of AT&T stated in regard to Android that "If it's good for customers we'll offer it like any other OS."
Well, we all know that it is good for the customers, so lets see some follow through, AT&T!

Phones: Is Samsung building a gPhone?
Tuesday, February 19 @ 12:30:57 EST by admin (214 reads) | Rumor has it that Samsung is readying two Google-branded smartphones for Q3-Q4 of this year. The rumor began with Robert X. Cringely -- apparently an insider to Samsung's scheming -- but is otherwise unsupported. The phones will supposedly look similar to a BlackBerry Pearl, but with a "flip" screen and a "keyboard for texting". One phone will allegedly be under $100.

Phones: Android-based E28 touchscreen phone in action
Tuesday, February 12 @ 14:43:25 EST by admin (87 reads) | A video was just released showing Android running on a 200MHz OMAP TI 730 chipset and just 64MB RAM and 64MB ROM. The interface appears to be a tad slow, but that is entirely acceptable given the hardware it is running (imagine Windows Mobile 6 on something like that? Love the OS but, ouch!).
Check the video here.

Android, the highly anticipated mobile phone operating system, at the
start of next year at the latest, a senior official said.
"We will bring it out late in 2008 or early 2009," Chang Ma, LG's
vice president for marketing strategy told Reuters in an interview at
the Mobile World Congress trade show.
LG is part of a group of about 30 companies that said they would
support Google's operating system, which is based on Linux, an
open-source software platform.
Service provider Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and Taiwanese phone
maker High Tech Computer have both said they plan to sell phones based
on Android this year.

General: Google delays second Android SDK release
Tuesday, February 05 @ 10:20:15 EST by admin (77 reads) | From PhoneScoop.com,
"Google announced that the software developer kit for Android is
undergoing significant changes and will therefore be delayed by several
weeks. The changes are affecting the user interface and API the most.
Because of this delay, and because developers have asked for more time,
Google is also pushing back the deadline for its application contest
from March 3 to April 14."
