- ggchappell 12y agoWell, I'm sure this was a nice achievement, and no offense intended, but that doesn't make sense. You were limited to 36 hours, and therefore, instead of simply writing a driver, you wrote a driver and and entire web browser sitting on top of it?
- lelandbatey 12y agoProbably just the familiarity with the tools. They knew how to write an Android app, but not a driver.
- ggchappell 12y agoYes, that makes sense. But we might take it as a negative comment on the modularity or ease of configurability of the environment supported by Android (or, more generally, by Linux).
- julian37 12y agoSurely they've reused a browser component rather than writing one from scratch. And they do more on the server than just pipe the full HTTP responses back, they strip CSS, images, JS etc. and minify the HTML. I think it's pretty cool!
