How Will Google Balance Android and its Phone Strategy?
Google’s Nexus One phone has a lot going for it, although it isn’t an iPhone killer just yet. In the meantime, however, questions are emerging as to whether or not Google is going to be truly open with its Android OS strategy. This week, on a videocast, Chris DiBona, Google’s influential open source program manager, provided some insight into the company’s strategy for Android and phones going forward. Check his thoughts out here.
Superphone is Just Another Word for Personal Computer
It finally happened, and hardly anyone noticed. A major Linux announcement got the Apple treatment from the media, and generated major consumer excitement. Granted, Linux snuck in under the guise of the Nexus One, but if the media excitement over Google's "superphone" is any indication, millions of people will be picking up Linux personal computers in 2010. While not quite the "year of the Linux desktop" Linux enthusiasts have been hoping for, it's still a major win for Linux and FLOSS.
It's long been argued that FLOSS advocates should be looking at the next generation of computing devices. That strategy is paying off. More than 1.4 million Google Android (that's Linux) devices shipped in the third quarter of 2009. It's too early for numbers in the fourth quarter, but you can bet that they're even higher. In three months, that's 1.4 million users adopting Linux for personal computing. Granted, still a minority next to other smartphones, but the Nexus One looks ready to give other smartphone vendors a run for their money.
GigaOm: Google's Nexus One is the Best Android Phone
OStatic's sister site GigaOm has an extensive review out today of Google's much talked-about Nexus one phone. The folks at GigaOm know their smartphones, and deem the Nexus One to be the best Android phone yet, with a gorgeous display and numerous other strong points. They don't find it to be a challenger to the iPhone throne, yet, though. GigaOm also has a good interview with Google's mobile chief Andy Rubin on the phone, Android, and Google's mobile strategy. Also check out the news on Google's app store. The Nexus One appears to hold promise, and puts Google in some new types of businesses, with the open source Android OS at the core of them.
Android and C language
What are the API's (C based API's) available in Android NDK. Whether these API's support Socket Programming (socket/connect/send/recv).

Any good tutorials for Palm WebOS development + porting applications from iPhone & Android?
Are there any good tutorials for palm's webOS development. I'm specifically looking for tutorials that outline the current (and planned - once the SDK is released) development guidelines and porting capabilities from iPhone and Android.
