But how is it optimized, considering bytecode is interpreted by Dalvik and not compiled? Just marketing speak?

Jul 16th 2007 3:01PM Hong Kong Dollar maybe ($0.12)? That doesn't sound right either though.
OTA music files squeezed down 10x, thanks to Beatnik {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 8th 2007 5:48AM It's interesting that neither Engadget nor any of the other commenters mention that the music will sound crappy. Already MP3 is bad enough, and compressing 10 times more clearly doesn't improve audio quality.

Sony Ericsson P1 gets reviewed {Engadget Mobile}
May 9th 2007 11:13AM I have an M600 that's very similar, including the keypad, and people might misunderstand how to use it effectively. I key in text pretty fast (much faster than with multitap or predictive) by using my thumb finger nails (both thumbs) and pressing on the sides of the keys. Some suggested to put the finger at the middle of the key and then flip to either side. That's the wrong way of doing it.
It's definitely not as fast as a PC keyboard, but keying in SMSs, emails, tasks etc work great. I even twit with it.
Actually I would have preferred individual keys anyway (like on the P990). It doesn't matter if numeric keys then were small, as all my business contacts are anyway in the phone book. Numbers could even be on the touch screen. I'm using my phone way more for entering text than digits.
Windows Mobile "dumbphone" -- sans Microsoft {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 25th 2007 8:05AM But you have to admit it's funny that someone can make a rip-off of Windows Mobile, a very complex OS / application platform that Microsoft has spent a gazillion dollars on developing, and for a long time.
Microsoft could acquire them... Stranger things have happened.
Microsoft explains removal of Bluetooth DUN {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 24th 2007 3:47AM "Bluetooth's peak data rates don't stand a chance against the best that HSDPA can throw at it"
True, but you don't need much speed for e-mail, browsing, chat, tweeting etc.
Hands-on with the Nokia N95 {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 12th 2007 7:08AM "this is one of the best smartphones and perhaps the best S60 device we've ever laid hands on"
OK, so where's the alphanumeric keypad then? Without it it can't be the best S60 device. Right?
