Mussings On Android

Googles brand new Mobile Phone operating system has released upon up recently, launched way after mobile OSX and long before Windows Mobile 7.



The first phone the contain this new operating system was the much critisied G1.

But Google is a software company not a hardware comapany, the software itself has had lots of praise and lots of bugs too. But these can be easily ironed out in future firmware editions.

Obviously, the G1 will be compared to the Apple iPhone but google has the advantage of being an open OS, instead of a locked down one. Hopefully, Android will develop into a S60-esque eco system with plenty of applications, games, tweaks develpoped for free and with no resrtictions.

But Google has released its OS into the path of the world leading operating system for smartphones.



Like Google S60 is becoming open source, with the Symbian Foundry.

With Sony Ericsson starting to use Windows Mobile, Motorola declaring Android Intentions, the OS wars have started, it will be an intresting year for software.

Mobile Devices, The way forwards?

Ever since 2005 the landscape of mobile phones and indeed devices has changed dramatically.

This all started when Sony Ericsson released their W800i Muisc Phone and K750i Camera Phone. (W800i pictured above.) These were the first mainstream phones with the ability to converge 3 usabable devices into one, rather than have 3 medicore ones in a normally unattractive case.

Nokia quickily followed suite with their own N-Series line of Multimedia "Computers" and these have been the forerunners ever since.

In 2006/2007 Asus Computers released their EEE PC, bridging the gap between Nokias communicator phones,or the awfully thought out UMPCs and 13" - 15" laptops.


UMPC's failed on two main fronts, price and Battery life.

Pricing was badly misjudged, £800 for such a device, I would of much rather a macbook.

And with such poor battery life itwas hardly portable.

With netbooks, they ahve the pricing right, well Acer does anyway.

£250 for the 160gb model, but an extra £50 needs to be spent on a 6-cell battery.

In short if netbooks dont get the battery right, yet another device will be swallowed up by the mobile phone.
