Andriod Hands-On….Phyical, but nothing else new…..

by

Android, the brainchild of the Open Handset Alliance(OHA) has released their prototype low-end model running the most recent Andriod release. While it’s encouraging to see that OHA, after all their hype, has made something physical, it doesn’t strike me as overly awe-inspiring.

The Android SDK, along with its inept documentation, featured an Android emulator to debug the developers’ works. This emulator is a carbon copy of OHA’s phyical prototype, which was ported with apps and the background origionally on the emulator. The protoype utilizes an ARM9 mobile processor which means decent, but not ready to run any intensive programs.

The only improvement that I can see with this realease of a phyical phone is that……it’s finally physical! Google and OHA have achieved a marginal success, but I believe that it’s time to save the bottles of celebratory bubbly and work on getting Android into the hands of the consumer.
