Android turns

Watch the following video,
It’s a nice a video that reveals that the rest of the players in the market (read nokia, MS) are freaking afraid of google, somethings to note,
- Ballmer arrogance never changes,
- He makes a similar argument as the one he did when the iphone came out.
- He says that they made a great work in openness, he has a very particular definition of open…..
- Symbian representative dismiss the project saying that, “it’s just another linux platform” and he is right. The problem is that this one is supported by google (a successful company, with great employees and a lot of budget) and many others vendors and carriers and that it’s half GPLv2 and half ASL (thing that i think symbian is not even close).
Here is where the competition begins and the options seems to be,
- iPhone
- Windows Mobile device
- Android device
I tried the android sdk too and it feels good, also the videos are short and very educative,
Presentation(I guess only Sergey Brin can wear that t-shirt on the announce of the software platform that will probably rule cellphones in the next years)
