Android 2.1 for Droid users, this week
Feb 9th
Google’s mobile OS with Motorola’s Droid phone sure make a good pair, this week users of the Motorola Droid phone will get the Android 2.1 update which is rumored to include some fixes but still not all features users wish for, hey…it takes time to develop a mobile os, and even then it can’t satisfy all users. The sad side is that a powerful device such as the Droid that is capable of pretty advanced graphics, will miss all the eye candy (at least for now). More >
Google Nexus One : The Making
Feb 7th
Google’s try to win the mobile market with the Android OS was a partial success but to remain realistic, the effort mostly failed. It’s even hard to compare the support and applications available on the iPhone platform vs. Google’s Android platform even now after some time from Android OS release date.
Nexus One is the Google state of the art phone, incorporating the latest technologies in mobile communication and data access. Even tho’ I’m an iPhone user for some time now, I’m happy to see Google’s variation of the multitouch mobile OS get so nice and intuitive, and on a nice hardware. I would love to get my hand on one of these, and this is the first time I seriously want an Android OS phone.
Google made a video on youtube about the process of making this Nexus One phones, this is the first part of the small presentation More >
Google’s “Chrome OS” is on it’s way
Jul 13th
The rumors for some time, before Android was out, were that Google will make their own operating system and bring it to public market, for free (open source). Well that was right for some part, Google got Android out, but only in the mobile devices market. Now the announcement is that google will be releasing a computer OS , Chrome OS is the name and will be based on the linux kernel. The project is too young and it’s too early to talk about more precise things, but Google OS is coming initially in the NetBook market next year. I’m sure more information will be available soon (by the end of this year)
