Engadget<\/a> covers Adroid – Google’s open source mobile platform<\/a>. \u00a0With pictures and videos. \u00a0I was very impressed and interested after the first video. \u00a0By the second one I almost had a nervous breakdown – it’s so cool.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of talks about gPhone lately. \u00a0People were speculating how cool the device would be, and how it will line up with Apple’s iPhone, and things like that. \u00a0Once again Google was above the expectations. \u00a0Instead of just another device with some nifty features, it delivered a whole new world. \u00a0Hardware, SDK, documentation, and application stack… They even appeal to developers to start playing with the platform (instead of jumping around like a crazy monkey<\/a> they allocated $10,000,000 USD to reward developers of the most innovative applications).<\/p>\n

The system seems to be sweet on every level. \u00a0There is plenty of hardware power. \u00a0Optional 3D acceleration. \u00a0Touch screens. \u00a0GPS. \u00a0And more. \u00a0The operating system is Linux based. \u00a0The core things are implemented in C and C++, which gives it this extra bit of robustness. \u00a0The upper level is very much Java oriented, which, if I want it or not, is a very popular and powerful programming language used by many developers. \u00a0With this, I suspect, the quantity and quality of applications will blossom.<\/p>\n

The system is built with expansion in mind. \u00a0It’s pluggable on every level, and although complex and with many components, is pretty easy to understand conceptually.<\/p>\n

With Android being released and hardware catching up, I believe we are entering a new age of computing. \u00a0Mobile devices and networks will be the primary commercial development focus for the next few years. \u00a0And, although being far from the mobile industry, I am very very exciting for these times to come. \u00a0Even if just a user…<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
