Deep pockets! I just hope someone continue to make compact devices now SE has eoled my Vivaz. The dimensions of the iPhone and android clones are too big, IMHO - I can't imagine carrying 2 of them in trouser pockets.
you're thinking only in terms of the phone paradigm. Dual phone numbers are only one possibility.
Phones now, or shortly, will have 1Ghz, 1GB and dual core. Run android as your phone stack but fedora mobile - i.e. Meego when you want to run traditional software by attaching mouse, keyboard, networked fs and hdtv. For a number of scenarios a phone can replace a 'desktop' albeit sans Windows. On one device, simultaneously!
Notwithstanding the N900's Meego-based successor, I wouldn't rule out your 1st idea - a plain phone. Why? I'd see where the iPad sector leads us. Do people need a tablet AND a smartphone?
I'm hoping convertible touchscreen netbooks become the norm - Dell's Inspiron duo looks promising. Choice of OS and multi-purpose. All you need then is the cheapest phone that does data tethering.
If the *toolkit* rather than each app provides remote X11 capabilities through multiple backends then where's the problem? Host a 'legacy' X env on your remote wayland display. Sure they'll have to shoe-horn a wayland remoting solution longer term but X ought to function similarly to now
Even if documents don't include mathematical equations, there's an obvious plain text solution - latex. It outputs to pdf and i'm sure there exist browser extensions to render to html on the fly. Though gmail does pdf-html automatically when viewing attachments
cloning cocoa is no different to haiku, mono, classpath, linux, reactos or wine. i.e. foss clean-room implementations give lawyers no ammo. The spectre of patents is the elephant in the room but Jobs would watch the Larry vs the Android battle before attacking Sony. The most likely action would be a clause in the iOS developer agreement that you target only Apple devices. Sounds pretty anticompetitive to me but i'm sure Sony would challenge that.
something like Win7 on Xen? As for Android, it's just Google's private branch of the Linux kernel. If they upstreamed more of that into the standard tree switching between android and your favourite desktop distro would be trivial. Hardware sensors detect a 'swivel' and hey presto the UI switches to X11. Google's app store might only currently cater to ARM based phones but as Apple have done with an osx store, there'd be a market for x86 tablet apps too.
It's an incentive just to uninstall flash altogether. Mobile battery life and 3G download quota being the main beneficiaries.
They're up to version 10.1 now - Adobe have had over a decade to implement secure sandboxing. If they were serious they'd offer a blank cheque to, say, Theo from OpenBSD and fix Flash and Acrobat Reader properly once and for all.
You're comparing the Victorian govt. with US providers.
The cynicism stems from their past failure to deliver IT systems on budget and on time. Usually it goes to tender and ends up being monstrously more expensive and bloated than originally planned. As in the myki disaster referred to earlier.
Few manufacturers will support you if you buy a PC and replace the installed OS with Linux.
Why should phones be any different? Stick a disclaimer with the flashing utility that unsupported images may brick your phone. Provide 'factory restore' images to un-brick your phone.
There's no technical reason to prevent this, only the vested interests of manufacturers and carriers.
Nokia talks about open source. How about instead of a symbian or meego phone - one device architecture that can run both. The handset division can then focus on compelling hardware. An open hardware spec where the customer can choose what OS to run. None of this jailbreaking or locked bootloader rubbish that plagues ios and android devices. Too bad nokia's support model is stuck in 20C.
Agreed, provided the core JDK remains contributed to the openjdk project under the GPL, this discussion seems tainted by FUD.
JRockit historically sped up BEA's Weblogic and it sounds like nothing more than Oracle's existing offerings benefiting from a pluggable interpreter that uses JRockit. The difference being it'll re-use more of the existing VM codebase.
Hotspot itself exists in several flavours inc 'client', 'server' and the community contributed 'Shark' based on LLVM. To this Oracle will soon add JRockit in the premium binary-only release.

There is one for Classpath called Mauve. I doubt it's 100% comprehensive but it's a start.

I didn't rtfa. so assumed Mr Burns had named a new reactor after one of the townsfolk.
isn't there 'one connector to rule them all' that does usb AND display?
Pdmi i think it's called.
it's more them allowing you to put your crap on their phone.,the one they pay for.
Deep pockets!

search for 32bit binaries in 64bit linux and you may be able to install compatibility for your distro of choice.
a pity one has to wade through 150 odd posts about the merits of the analogy before reading a single post relevant to the goverment's decision.
I'd moderate the whole thing off-topic but instead perhaps SeñorTaco will create a 'motor cars for nerds' site.
Having a Canadian on the team embraces a certain regional pride to calm insecurities of those Yanks.

MB airs are in a completely different market to the toughbook. One is rugged, the other is not.

Ahem, God Save The Queen was recorded only in 1976. Thus the Pistols plagiarised Gough!

Outside of musical circles, others call it 'hash'.
I'm inclined to refer to MS' flagship as C-hash but then I also make the mistake of referring to Apple's operating system as OS Ex.
