Google Revs Android, FCC Approves First Phone

Posted by kdawson on from the dream-machine dept.

Cycon writes "Google has announced, 'We're releasing a beta SDK. You can read about the new Android 0.9 SDK beta at the Android Developers' Site, or if you want to get straight to the bits, you can visit the download page.' A new Development Roadmap has also been released to help developers understand the direction the software is taking (as this is still only a Beta release). In addition, the FCC has approved the HTC Dream, and it is believed Google and T-Mobile will launch the phone in the US on November 10, since a confidentiality request attached to the application asks the FCC to keep details secret until that date."

    Can't they already do all those things with Windows Mobile? That OS is complete shit though.

    Not in my experience,

    OK, fair enough. Maybe you have never installed anything on your Mac to change the way it works, maybe you have everything set at default... I can believe that.

    or in the experience of any other Mac user I know.

    Bullshit, unless you don't know any other Mac users? I find it hard to believe that you would know what they have installed, and how they have changed their own machines.

  3. Eclipse? by hotfireball · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    They use *Eclipse*? A dying horrible IDE, originally from IBM that is ugly in installation, configuring and use... and they dumping away the most successful NetBeans, where people are moving in a cluster way to?.. Well, I understand "our local team loves Eclipse at Google", well, but I do not understand still in general... That's pissing off lots of developers. Well, maybe for good.

    The only question is: ...WTF?..
