Android is a rising mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google. Google opened the entire source code (including network and telephony stacks) under an Apache License. Android has been available as open source since 21 October 2008. Android allows developers to write managed code applications in the Java language. The device features are controlled via Google-developed Java libraries. Nice if you want to develop applications using Java language, not so nice if you would prefer native Linux applications. In Android the Linux is the motor pretty well hidden from the applications perspective.
There seems to be hype that about Tuesday’s expected launch of the first Google Phone. That news actually made to start writing this article. Nexus One review will give you all the details to know about this phone. According to this unauthorised review on Engadget, it’s nice, but only really a sleeker version of the Droid. It is powered by the latest version of Android (2.1 “Flan”). Read those reviews and you can see what to expect. Let’s see if Google succeeds for the benefit of creating a real competition for iPhone. Is Google trying to push Android just forward or is Google wanting to take control over the way you buy mobile phones?
Some people expect that Google wants to flip the USA mobile carrier and distribution market upside-down, becoming the place you go to search for and buy a mobile phone. You select the phone before you even pick a carrier, number, voice and data plans, or extras.
That could be new in USA, but not new to mobile markets in Europe. For example in Finland you normally used to go to buy the phone from shop, and then picked up the carrier operator you wanted to use. And you can do it freely nowadays also. Other option (became available few years ago as it became allowed to combine phone and service) is that you buy a package from operator where you get the phone and call plans at monthly fee. After paying the fee for 12-24 months (depending on plan), the phone is yours and you are free to use any operator you want with the phone.
Besides phones there seems to be interests in running Android operating system on other devices also. The expected application list goes like phones, GPS and computers. According to Gizdomo article Do You Really Need a Microwave or a Washer-Dryer Running Android? there are some developers whowant to give Android the power to control our washer-dryers and ovens and printers. Touch Revolution NIM1000 module (demonstrated at CES) is an Android-based module that is designed to control all kinds of appliances. Do you need your microwave to be a kitchen command center? This reminds me a bit of the old dot.com era where almost everyone tried push Java everywhere and Microsoft pushed Windows CE to every device out there.

GVoice is an absolute lifesaver. I can’t believe the functionality that it offers, for example the ability to listen in on voicemail messages. I’ve got some invites if anyone wants any. Also I hope that Apple rethinks the GVoice App, hwo could such an killer app get killed by Apple?
Nice read. I also saw a video in youtube about a review on new Apple iPad. Here is the link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAb_yg2XF-k
Apple iPad is also interesting product that has been on the news actively for some days.
Interesting review video you gave.
I don’t know the quality of your “Free iPad” offer because when I tried to access your site it tells the offer is not available in my country (and did not give any details on it).
Two weeks ago my best mate, Andrew Banks, got himself own Nokia N95 Phone. He got it second hand with an Orange SIM but his on O2 so he needed the N95 phone unlocked. He must think I’ m a tech guy and would know how to do it! Or maybe it’ s because I’ …

My friend and I were recently talking about how we as human beings are so hooked onto electronics. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside… I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.

I love what Google and its team is doing. The Android phone very soon will be one of the best phones out. Google Voice is going to be fully integrate with the Android which allow for call management and then Google bought a VOIP a provider so that will allow for calls. This will be great for people who want to make long distance and international calls. Lets hope the prices of the new Androids stay where they are. Also google I think is trying to implement a touch screen like the iPhone, can anyone confirm that?
