Palm Treo 650 boots into Android, lives a fulfilling life (video) {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 11:21AM Palm needs to hire anyone and everyone who can help them convert to Android, and then do it.
They can keep the best parts of Palm OS and implement them on top of Android.
Although, if Palm does just completely go under then it can just happen then, whoever ends up owning the rights and brands associated with Palm will inevitably want to re deploy them again in some way, and there will only be more Android models on the market as the time goes by.
Android is just such an incredible cost saver for any OEM. It frees them from having to re invent the wheel with each new handset.

Nov 5th 2009 12:54PM I noticed Vudu from google search, quickly easily streaming music for the song I sought. How much must they be paying for those rights?

HP's new DreamScreens pack Pandora and Facebook into a wireless photo frame {Engadget}
Sep 17th 2009 4:32PM This device screams Needs Android for me. Especially since Pandora and Facebook now have free Android apps. There are advantages to devices designed to be left on all the time and plugged in, and I expect it's speaker is better then most cell phones. If it ran Android I'd want it.

SIM / hardware-unlocked Android Dev Phone 1 surfaces for $399 {Engadget}
Dec 6th 2008 6:07PM The iPhone is a quality product. But it doesn't have a keyboard, and it's thoroughly locked down. People have been clamoring for good unlocked phones since long before the iPhone.
The iPhone is following pretty much the same business model apple always has. If windows mobile had been better Microsoft had the opportunity dominate the smartphone OS market. It actually did for awhile, it just couldn't stay on top in quality.
Android is a high quality OS. It does have bugs, but right now in it's buggy state, it's delivered the G1, a quality product. The G1, as good a beginning as it is, is still just the beginning.

Dec 6th 2008 2:09PM You have to have paid the $25 to see the full product page. The page says:
"Hardware unlocked - Rebuild the Android operating system, and load it onto the device"
The only option on the page is how many you want to add to your cart. The cart doesn't have any options except to add or remove quanity, or checkout, and I'm not hitting that button :)

Dec 6th 2008 1:35PM The big thing about the Android Dev Phone 1™, as opposed to what they're calling the G1, is you can load your own firmware on it. That means you can load native applications, like the Quake demo teaser they had for Android. Also with a small tweak to the default build, you can give yourself root access.
This delivers on the promise of an open Android phone. I have trouble thinking of how they could "open" any more except by reducing the price :-) I don't think we can expect Google to be the one to deliver on that, but I'm sure some manufacturer will solve that for us too.
