"In the high-stakes competitive environment in which Android competes, developers deserve to know that sponsoring organizations believe in the value of third-party applications that engage the user with appropriate user interfaces and offline functionality."

Ow. That sentence - like much of the article - is just painful to read. Bad author, no cookie.
on, off and ???
Isn't the extra price over the E-P1 mostly for the electronic viewfinder that's included?
Signs are it will be the fastest graphics card until ATI release a faster one.
That's... premature.

Similar things were said for Ubuntu. I'm not saying it's going to fail, Google =/ Canonical, but just because is Google doesn't automatically mean it will succeed.

Chrome browser : big win. Android : fairly big win. Google mail : so-so win. Google apps : seriously, anyone actually use that?
Gaudi is some ultra-cheapo brand of electronics not a fashion brand. I don't think they make much more than these "cell phone quality" video cams, so far I've only run into the normal looking ones thank God. The sell for about $100 or so and are are next to useless.
I'm from Buenos Aires and I say; "kill 'em all"!
Using the USB bus to power a high quality condenser mic seems like a good idea, but I would imagine there are better implementations out there, THX or no THX.
The iPhone has almost zero market penetration in Japan. As a single model, it was briefly ranked number one, that's back when it was heavily promoted and there was a spike of interest. In terms of Apple's market share, of phones currently in use, 1-2% is probably overstating it.

Smart phones aren't that popular here. I've always supposed it was because "dumb phones" were sufficiently "smart", i.e. you can play games, watch TV, browse the web, check the weather and train times, navigate, take and send photos, and of course read and write email. Most you can also keep a music library on, or watch videos.

It's going to be April at the earliest before this ships in quantity.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
