The iPhone Apps Look Good: Spend Some Money Google!

2 comments
At yesterday's Apple Worldwide Developer Conference, where Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone 3G and numerous other initiatives, it became very clear that the coming battle among smartphones will be largely decided on? the basis of who gets the best applications. Applications built with the upcoming iPhone 2.0 SDK looked very mature, and there were many demonstrations showing how easy they were to create. What does this mean for Google's Linux-based Android mobile platform and the wave of Linux-based phones expected later this year?

VenCorps: Crowd-Sourcing Venture Capital Funding

0 comments
Many people in the open source community agree that more economic fairness in the open source ecosystem could help users and developers alike. Increasingly, big tech companies are waking up to the concept, as seen in the hefty cash prizes that Google awarded top developers in its Android Developer Challenge. Now, a new venture capital-driven effort is taking shape that will ask for community participation in identifying startup companies to invest in. Dubbed VenCorps, Webware has an interesting analysis of it. I'm betting that some of the capital will go to open source developers.

Goosh: A Unix-Like Command-Line Interface for Google

4 comments
Every once in a while, you run across something online that appeals to you for inexplicable reasons. That's how I feel about Goosh. Goosh looks and feels like a Unix shell, and behaves quite a bit like DOS, in fact. It's a command-line interface that is powered by Google. I wouldn't use it as my main front -end for doing Google searches, but I agree with Webware that the application has a charming retro feel.

Facebook Opens Up "a Significant Part" of its Platform

7 comments
As we wrote last week (after initial reports came out on TechCrunch), Facebook is open sourcing what it calls a significant part of its Facebook Platform. What does a significant part mean? According to the company it means most of the code that runs Facebook Platform plus implementations of many of the most-used methods and tags. Especially for many developers who want to build social applications, this looks like good news, but OStatic readers wrote in last week questioning whether Facebook is really going open source (see the comments in the link above). Is it?

GigaOm: Google Continues Wooing Developers at I/O

0 comments

As Google's I/O conference continues, developers are in the spotlight. Two new APIs have been released: an image manipulation API, and (more interesting to web app hosting in general), the memcache API. As our sister site GigaOm notes, with Yahoo in limbo and Microsoft missing in action on the Internet, Google is making a huge play for developer mindshare. In today's Google I/O recap on GigaOm, you'll find some good thoughts on Google Gears, HTML5, Javascript, AJAX. Android and Ruby on Rails. Take a gander.

Cool Android Apps at Google I/O, But Problems May Loom

0 comments
At the Google I/O conference this week, applications for Google's Linux-based Android mobile platform are generating buzz. Recently, we looked in on 10 of the applications that earned cash prizes in Google's Android Developer Challenge, and we've been taking note of the promise there is for many types of phones based on open source. Now, at the Google conference, numerous other slick Android applications are causing observers to pronounce the platform ready for prime time. Paul Kapustka, over at our sister site GigaOm, offers a video demo and some thoughts from Google I/O. He sees three reasons why Android may run into problems. Check it out.

Microsoft's Ozzie Feels Disrupted

0 comments
Microsoft's chief software architect Ray Ozzie gave a talk this morning at the Sanford Bernstein Strategic Decisions conference, one of those gatherings for top-level executives. As part of the Q&A, he was asked about the perception that Google was a disruptive force that was hard for Microsoft to deal with. While admitting that Google was a tough competitor, Ozzie went on to focus on something he called even more potentially disruptive : open source.
