Android - From Google to us


Android

This is a beautiful name...why? because back in the days when CB radios were hot that was my angle..."ANDROID"

My girl friend said I am so robotic and said I am just like an android and since then I used the angle ANDROID. Anyway, it is a beautiful name that Google has taken on for their phone software.

I don't know a lot about Android except it was one of the mobile company acquired by Google (see my post in October) and I really do not have much plan in delving in to the intricacy of Android software. The good news is that I hope that Google's mobile application, Android supports open-access devices in the 700MHz spectrum and is open since it is based on open source and should run under or on Apache. Now, we all know that is like cough syrup for the big software giants....oh...cough syrup is deadly for babies and young ones but in this instance it is deadly for mature software companies. Whatever the fallout with other companies I am one of those followers of Google (for many years) that hope they maintain their path as we get closer and closer to nirvana, the state of enlightenment.

Next year is the year when we see the coming together of 700MHz, open-access devices and applications, Android, iPhone...let us just say Touch, etc etc etc
