Google sends Android OS to conquer mobile world

It's been rumoured for a while, but Google has officially thrown it's gauntlet down into the hotly contested mobile phone ring with the announcement of it's new open source mobile OS, Android. Bill and his mates should be quaking in their boots, as it may mean lean days ahead for Microsoft, what with other mobile OS rivals already out there including Palm and Symbian Alliance. Now with the new arrivals of Apple and Google's Linux powered system, things are gonna get pretty interesting.


This is just what Linux needed to be taken seriously as a mobile OS alternative. With a the Google juggernaut behind it, together with a host of developers in the open source community, the platform can only go from strength to strength. Who will the winner be when the dust finally settles? Why me and you and the man in the street that's who! Big grin. ;-)

Microsoft releases "Deepfish" browser for Windows Mobile

Dunno if this is the same as the iPhone web browsing experience, with pan and zoom features, which you also get on the Windows Mobile 6 powered HTC Touch. Tried browsing on the Touch and it works pretty well. Making web browsing on a mobile device an almost bearable experience. We've some way to go yet before you can say fulfilling, but then Apple will no doubt tell us otherwise. Ouch, my MacBook just burnt me.
