Trolling much jonovos? Wrong title - they have no plans for Gingerbread but are working on Froyo update per the chat logs you yourself posted.

Difference is the effort - one click on rate my startup once is different from watching the videos again and again and clicking several links. It requires more motivation than just helping each other out without too much pain to yourself.

Thinking of the GPU - what choices does Apple have if they are considering a GPU upgrade? Not sure how much better SGX540 is in dealing with greater number of pixels and if Series 6 is not that much far in the future to get in on an iPad2.

He does mention this though - "I did get the odd subscriber sending me an email saying that he had clicked loads of adverts. This is called demon clicking. I would reply that I would prefer them to only click on adverts they were intereste

Fair points except that the prettiest UI doesn't always win - more productive, more flexible UIs that look decent enough do. And I don't think Android in itself has any limitation that prevents a developer from creating pretty looking apps.

Subject to devices in use, firmware they are running etc. My Nexus One, Galaxy S with TouchWiz UI, or the Nexus S do not have jerky scrolling for instance. The G1 does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xEKrY0VQKQ So it is possible today fo

That's different though. http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/resources/introductiontoun... says - "A Universal app is optimized to run on all iPhone OS devices—itʼs essentially an iPhone app and an iPad app built as a single binary." It als

It's not just about scalable UI. The Android concept is of fragments. Quoting from the allthingsd interview of Rubin - "[Fragments] allow apps to split their functionality on varying devices. In other words, the Gmail app on an Android phon

No it won't make a bad experience for anyone. See the AllthingsD video interview with Andy Rubin for a demo. GMail app on the tablet is displayed taking full advantage of extra screen real estate by placing its views side by side. Same app

The jerkiness is subjective - it's not an active problem to worry about or rely upon. So the market share of 2.3 isn't really a pressing issue. G1 is a bad example - it is too weak spec wise. Aging hardware problem is not something anyone c

My SVN build of DD-WRT has a "No DNS Rebind" setting defaulting to true. Not sure if this prevents the attack - couldn't find easy steps to reproduce in order to verify.

Just to be sure, I wasn't discounting them - as I said it remains to be seen how they scale to the DIY challenges that I mentioned. Also the impact of any limitations resulting from these scale issues (if they prove to be a problem) may not

"I've played with friends' Evos and I can definitely notice the jerkiness in scrolling the app marketplace." GC is far more likely cause for the jerkiness. The 2.2 and below GC implementation is not very latency friendly. They fixed that in

"but they picked a battle against the entire industry" - That's an excellent point which is often ignored. When you set yourself up to do everything on your own (OS, CPU, Other hardware design etc. in case of Apple) that poses serious scala

People like to glorify Apple in every way possible and tout whatever advantages they have but the mistake they make is they don't care enough to understand Android as a platform and its Architecture. Because if they did they will understand

I do not get what the problem is with having carrier applications on the phones. It is non-sensical to argue that things forced on you, the consumer, by a corporation A are bad but things forced by corporation B on the same consumer are som

Touchscreen one is an annoyance, yes. But the 196Mb app storage is fixable - Cyanogenmod 6.1 is the way to go. I am running it on my N1 and it gives you the ability to move any app to the SD card and it all just works. You might even get Gi

It's more of a focus thing for Android - not all people put the ability to play Rage HD as their first requirement when buying a smart phone. So when Sony-Ericsson decided to do a portable gaming machine that can also act as a phone - 2.3 f
