"Outside the US, it it just a matter of time before Symbian and other platforms join PalmOS as interesting historical tidbits."
Ever seen some sales figures? Symbian currently is the OS on around 50% of all 'phones sold (and 40% of all smart phones) around the world. Thats more than the nearest 4 competitors combined (and that includes apple).
The US market is very limited and isolated in some senses because US patent laws restrict what can be sold in the US. In the free world we have the ability to buy 'phones which offer equivalent functionality and not pick 'phones based on who has the most patents.
My problem with the G1 is it just "feel" right. I have a G1 and a Sony Ericsson c702 and I find I use the c702 all the time, and the G1 only sees the light of day when someone asks me what it's like.
It's bulky, there no virtual keyboard so you need to pop the keyboard to type anything, it's camera is pretty poor, and Android is sluggish on it (sometimes I need to tap two or three times to get a response to something, and I know the phone has detected the press because the icon flashes).
But who knows, but the time Android is right for the prime time, we may all have bought Nokias:):):)
"Right now this pretty much means most of the Java-based phones on the market"...
If you think it's limited to J2ME 'phones then have a look at AndAppStore.com who've been offering Android apps for months and aren't Google affiliated in any way.
Try the product at http://www.argosytelcrest.co.uk/pwsafe/ It's written in Java uses PostgreSQL or MySQL for the data store, and can run in Jetty or Tomcat.

Pretty much everyone has a browser on the devices they use to access systems, and it seems to avoid the need for a million and one local passwordsafe all storing out of date copies of the password.
See the filing at http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&e ntry=76370539 It states first use was on 19th August 1997. If you look at http://www.cpcgamereviews.com/c/index6.html there was a game using the name in 1995.
When you write data to an area of the disk that's not used by a standard format.
i.e. In the days of 40 track floppys, tracks 0 to 39 were used to store data in the standard filesystem format. You could use some utilities to format track number 40 and thus you had a writable track that didn't interfere with the normal use of the disk and the data on it didn't appear when browsing the file system on the disk.

AndAppStore.com for one, and their client can be bundled with any distro so why would you want to create another one?
You can download the beta for Linux and Windows from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products /database/xe/index.html
It's trivial to setup a new root DNS servers and move ISPs over to them. I wrote about it at http://www.alsutton.com/splitnet.html
Sounds like the other 9 out of 10 cats said they preferred things stay as they are?

Theres also browser accessible stuff like Argosy TelCrests' EPS (http://www.argosytelcrest.co.uk/pwsafe/). It saves on the hassle of trying to keep a load of seperate stores in sync.

The page says 1985, guess it's very prior art :).

I got permission denied so I've set up a link at http://www.distributedbandwidth.info/torrentmap/ex plorer.jsp?cat=Lin260.
Theres a valid torrent link at http://www.distributedbandwidth.info/torrentmap/ex plorer.jsp?cat=Lin260.
It's got the patch & the full kernel.
Ever heard of Jabber?, it does this already.
