i can't be sure with that video quality, but i don't see the donut weave texture behind the appdrawer, meaning it'd be cupcake]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
The battery life is probably one hour and it weighs double and is twice as thick.

Tell us engadget.

What is the battery performance on this?

That being said Google really needs to show some leadership and get all these different companies using the same Marketplace and capable of being upgraded to the latest versions.

Because as a developer having to always target 1.5 is not a good solution as we always want to incorporate the latest and greatest SDK features. ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
Honest question here: Both Android and S^3 / Maemo / MeeGo need to run on very different devices, sizes and hardware. For Android, the VM seems to ensure apps behave the same across devices, for S^3 / Maemo / MeeGo the solution is Qt.

Which one of these approaches to you think is best, from a developer standpoint? (right now Qt 4.6 is on S^3, Maemo & MeeGo, btw)

Does the market gracefully handle different NDK versions (for different native hardware) similarly to how it handles different SDK targets?]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
The VM in Android allows you to have one app on different microprocessors e.g. ARM or Intel.

QT for Nokia allows you to have one app on different operating systems. If Nokia has one ARM and one Intel chip then you would still need to recompile your app.

It's only an issue if you have an App Store with lots of apps compiled for one microprocessor (as is the case for Palm, Apple and Android).]]>Jun 2nd 2010 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
However I wouldn't be surprised if some companies give up on Google and create their own marketplace.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
You forgot to mention Qt 4.6 is also on Windows, Linux and OSX. ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
It's that the stupid greedy marketroids who started distributing binaries and came up with the EULAs. Software is the code, not the binaries and people fail to understand that.

ou may even downrank me into oblivion, but that is the truth. The software is the code. Distribution of binaries without the code should be banned, because it is an anti-competitive behavior and locks the user to a specific architecture and that does not do any good to competition and the market. In short, binaries only are the cancer of the competitive market.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
Hmm, well people buy (or license?) what the software does, not what it is.

It's kind of like expecting all car manufacturers or architects to ship full blueprints of their work whenever they sell it.

Except the blueprints in this case allow extremely easy copying and modification compared to the car example.

Maybe in the future everything will be GPL and happy, but at the moment I need some way of getting paid for my work, and distrubuting source for everything doesn't seem like such a good idea. I'm happy to support and contribute to some open source projects, but some stuff I'd rather not hand to my competitors.

I do hope we can get past this, but I'm sure a lot of companies and developers feel similarly.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/Jun 2nd 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/I was thinking the same thing.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/Ditto]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/Having tested the 2.2 sdk, I believe when FroYo dumps to AOSP the art problems will be fixed (since the sdk art seems to be the same in MDPI, LDPI, and HDPI, except for wallpapers).
I'm concerned about running an atom processor on a smartphone, though.
I have a dell mini 9 and the thing can get pretty hot under load. My HD2 with a qsd8k also gets pretty hot, but not as hot as the atom.
I wonder if intel has fixed thermal dissipation on new atoms. It'd be a shame if smartphones were forced to head into a future where they have to come equipped with active cooling. Hell, phones shouldn't rise in temperature above lukewarm at all!!!]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/Jun 2nd 2010 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
And yeah, I have serious doubts about the Atom processor, particularly at "standby", compared to ARM architecture. And not just when it comes to heat; battery life is a huge concern for me.

My Nexus One can get quite toasty too :(]]>Jun 2nd 2010 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/Jun 2nd 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/intel-demos-android-2-1-on-moorestown-smartphone-video/
