Ten Features To Love About Android 1.5
An anonymous reader writes "Last month, Google officially announced the Android 1.5 update, dubbed 'cupcake.' The new software is apparently ready to roll out to Android-powered devices beginning tomorrow. Make no mistake, Android 1.5 is a major upgrade — they could have called it 2.0. The software brings a host of new capabilities, some of which can't be found on rival mobile platforms, including video recording and sharing."
And of course:
"...ready to roll out to Android-powered devices beginning tomorrow"
Yep... to *both* people who own Android devices!
If you're going to develop mobile apps, you're going to do it where the market is. And that's the iPhone.
android and everything google does, sucks.
i hate google, gmail, youtube, etc. fuck'em
OMG!!!11 HA ha, that's funny. I never would have thought of that. You took the "SUDO make me a sandwich" line from XKCD, which wasn't funny to begin with, but then you changed it by using the word "Cupcake".
Thanks for putting a little sunshine in my day. God has truly blessed us with your creativity and wit. Amen.
Odd. I mean it's not like Apple would do exactly the same thing over apps AT&T don't like...
First, go to the iPhone page of the Apple web site and see if you can read the big number in the middle of the page.
Never mind, I'll save you the trouble, it's 35,000. And that number was not hard to track down at all. http://www.apple.com/iphone/
Further, a CURRENT Microsoft press release (March '09), states, "Current Windows® phone users already have access to more than 20,000 applications through multiple distribution partners." http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2009/mar09/03-30CTIA09PR.mspx
35,000. 20,000. 35,000. 20,000. 35,000. 20,000. Hmmmmm. Which number is larger?
Sorry, but in your utterance of your rabid denial you've given away your anti-Apple-fanboi status.
Any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
. For that matter, the screen res was 352x416, the highest at the time, and still higher than most cells
Really, higher than 640x480, which some HTC and iPaq phones had 3 years ago? Looks like you are doing it as well, oh and btw, your nokia is a shitty phone. Tacking on everything bar the kitchen sink doesn't make it so great.
What about people that have hundreds of thousands lines of C/C++ code written, do you suppose we throw that out of window or spend another hundreds of hours rewriting the stuff to pretty inferior Java, the single paradigm language, interpreted, corporation controlled, non-ISO, non-standard, slow, just to enable it to run on the platform ? What about may be 90% of all open source/GPL code out there, that is written in C/C++, what about that ? Should we trash it all and start all over because of Google has an affair with the Sun ? Because Google want developers to use second rate interpreted language while Google's own applications enjoy native speed, all the C/C++ code out there and all?
Do not forget that Google's own applications run native, that means your applications is penalized by using inferior interface.
Total BS you idiot troll! Their own applications run byte code. The fucking code is available for all to see. Here's a hit, the source ends with '.java'.
Any other lies you want to make up?
Do you even comprehend how many disadvantages you get with Java?
How much for example open source code is Java and how much is C/C++ ? They all have the choice, they all have chosen C/C++.
