Google's Android debuts at Mobile World Congress

This is Android

Real Android powered phone demo

This is cool, proof of concept for Android...





And on the old ARM

Google's gPhone coming in February!?!

When I got the word on this, I couldn't contain myself. This will give us a base of code that we can be relatively assured of working. With Google's "summer of code" and the colossus resources at their disposal its small wonder they are able to get this out early.

Gentlemen, install your SDKs, and get ready to rock. With hardware units specifically designed to utilize Google's gPhone platform, this will allow pretty much everybody to program just about anything one can imagine. In the immortal words of Han Solo, "I can imagine quite allot".

Having a platform like this rocks...

Windows lesson #1, install Cygwin

This install is actually for our Android development. This will be a manageable development environment designed specifically with Windows users in mind. We are developing on the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE), we will be programing mostly in Java but will also program the lower device levels in C/C++ when Google releases accessibility to them.

This Windows clone will offer Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP (WAMP) integration, this is similar to Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP). Specially geared with specific applications to lessen the learning curve for new UNIX/Linux interfacing.

Windoze in one, SuSE, in another and Fedora 8 all housed in Tiger on my Mac.

Google's Andriod

We are going to go into Google's Android development in developing games. It's a very powerful system which includes its own Operating System, middle ware and surface applications. By our understanding this wins hands down over Symbian and Windows CE for the very fact that it is a open-sourced software platform that is capable of being placed on any linux based handset phone and is capable of incorporating the hardware features within the chip set of the phone devices.

This is very cool.

The fact that it is capable of utilizing hardware on the handset it is installed upon gives it great flexibility and capability limited only by the hardware it is on.

The official language is Java, using the Sun compiler, but it can also be developed at the lowest levels in C/C++ giving it added granular flexibility to modify the lowest levels of the Android Operating System.

I would like Python to be used as one of the primary languages to develop this in. With direct access to the graphics acceleration and even low levels of the device (bluetooth, WiFi, etc.) This will make for a power.
One of the more inreging features is the fact that it is capable of OpenGL and
