And never look at what Android version is there.
And given that Moto has given up all other platforms there's no surprise they're trying to make cheap low-tier Android device to address the segment.
But agree, this one should be a free phone.]]>Jan 15th 2010 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/
Sense is the thing that makes Android a real joy to usable. The stock interface, and add ons like the Blur UI just pale in comparison.

Companies like Moto and HTC would need plenty of lead time to make sure all their hardware/software is compatible. Why, for example, should HTC be forced to stop selling the Hero, just because the Droid or the Nexus One has been released? ]]>Jan 16th 2010 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/Jan 16th 2010 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/
no, that's weird and stifles innovation, they just have to ensure that physical devices are similarly configured so every phone can easily use the same version of Android (like Windows Client)

Basically Android = Windows Mobile at this point, and thats clunky as hell. The actual number of Apps that will run on all Android phones has got to be tiny, whereas the App situation on the iDevices is pure bliss.]]>Jan 16th 2010 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/
You then show you ifanboi colours even more by "presuming" there are only a small number of apps on android (there aren't FYI - i havn't found myself wanting any more apps and you are talking out your arse if you think there aren't many apps) and sing the praises of the sod phone.

You know what stifles innovation and is wiered? locking down an application store to ensure that even if there is some software which is innovative and great for end users, you block it because it competes with what you have released, oh that and not allowing end users to install whatever applications that want without having to hack the phone first.]]>Jan 16th 2010 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/Jan 16th 2010 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/
Check some sources, Ruth does not use the 7200A and it will blow Cliq away. It is much closer to Droid.]]>Jan 16th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/motorola-ruth-specs-outed-likely-companys-least-interesting/"What's more, we're seeing a mention of Android 1.5"
Clearly, one of these is false:

Range of Screens Supported
Android 1.5 and earlier versions of the platform were designed to support a single screen configuration — HVGA (320x480) resolution on a 3.2" screen. Because the platform targeted just one screen, application developers could write their applications specifically for that screen, without needing to worry about how their applications would be displayed on other screens.

Starting from Android 1.6, the platform adds support for multiple screen sizes and resolutions, reflecting the many new types and sizes of devices on which the platform will run. This means that developers must design their applications for proper display on a range of devices and screens.]]>Jan 20th 2010 1:30PM
