But wow, you thought iPhone was buggy? This will be loaded.

But the LiMo looks promising and right now is in the first place if we would look at mobile Linux market. I think LiMo has already 22 or even more phones in the list. If I remember Purple Magic Phone is 3G phone and works super and still cost only 100$, but I don't know if it already available.

The Android Platform had to be the one to fight iPhone Mac OS system and it looks that it really stopped, but no one expected that. But because Google don't talk to developers many moved to iPhone already leaving Android platform. That's not a good sign. And with Apple Store help there are 60+ mln copies of mobile software in the wild per one month, that's really amazing.

This HTC Dream might be the only one who could at least not let Android Platform die.]]>Aug 15th 2008 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/

that's just rock bottom.]]>Aug 15th 2008 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/
Not only can anyone write software for the phone (without signing draconian NDA and agreeing to unrealistic EULAs to use a proprietary SDK *cough*iPhoneSDK*cough*), but it's actually encouraged by Google and the rest of the Open Handset Alliance. You don't have download through a single "App Store" or jump through hoops to jailbreak your phone.

You don't have to pay Google royalties (like you'd pay Apple) if you wanted sell your own software for the phone.

Install base:
The OS itself runs on top of a Linux kernel. The Dalvik VM allows you to recompile the vast majority of your Java applications to run, plus many Linux apps can be ported with ease to run natively without a VM. The iPhone SDK, on the other hand requires actively rewriting existing code. The install base on the iphone is actually small compared to the likes of WM and Symbian handsets, so your claim for more app support is irrelevant.

The transparency of open source ensures you don't have to worry about hidden backdoors and "kill switches" that allow the manufacturer to disable apps that you installed on your phone. You also don't have to worry about decreased functionality and apps being disabled by your carrier when they want to charge extra for them. Say you buy an iphone and you want VOIP over wifi, you're at the mercy of Apple's whims to allow it. It's not going to be like that on Android.

And finally, you don't have to wait years for simple features like copy and paste to work on Android. If users deem a feature to be important, someone out there will add it, with or without some turtlenecked, control-freak CEO's approval.]]>Aug 15th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/
Matthew, Android will not have more apps than the iPhone within 6 months, the Apple store has been avaible for 35 days now...not a year. Not that your prediction would really hold any water to begin with but get your facts straight.]]>Aug 15th 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/Aug 15th 2008 6:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/Aug 15th 2008 6:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/Aug 15th 2008 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/Aug 15th 2008 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/Aug 15th 2008 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/Aug 15th 2008 8:27AM
