Get video and stereo Bluetooth on your CELLPHONES first, and pay the manufacturer enough design money this time.

Says a writer on a technology blog who in theory SHOULD know better than that, but apparently doesn't. Android isn't so much an OS as a Java framework, and it could theoretically run on top of any modern OS--Windows, MacOS, and yes, Linux. Just download the SDK and poke around a bit and you'll see that you write entirely to a Java sandbox, the only difference being that this one provides a lot of hardware-specific APIs that you don't typically get on a desktop: phone, GPS, accelerometers, etc. If Intel and WR have been working on a binary Linux API, switching to Android would indeed be anything but a snap.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/android-making-the-jump-to-cars-and-homes-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/android-making-the-jump-to-cars-and-homes-in-2009/Sep 23rd 2008 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/android-making-the-jump-to-cars-and-homes-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/android-making-the-jump-to-cars-and-homes-in-2009/
