Tips: T-Mobile G1 - Getting the Most Out of the First 'gPhone'
,----[ Quote ]
| If you've recently upgraded to the T-Mobile G1, the first cell phone to use
| Google's Android operating system, here's a sweet collection of tips to help
| you get more out of it.
|
| Fast Apps
| Tired of scrolling around to find your favorite applications? Simply tap and
| hold the Home key to see a pop-up window of your six most recently used apps.
|
| Just Type
| When you're ready to call someone from your Contacts directory, you don't
| need to open Contacts first. Just slide open the keyboard and start typing
| the person's name. You'll see matching contacts displayed on the screen.
|
| Be a Smart Shopper
| Your G1 could save you lots of money this holiday season. Download the free
| ShopSavvy app, which lets you scan barcodes with the G1's camera. The app
| will then tell you where to find the lowest online price for that item.

Google Releases SIM-Unlocked Android Phone for $399
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's Android team announces the availability of the Android Dev Phone 1.
| The device is the first SIM-unlocked and hardware-unlocked device based on
| the Android mobile operating system, a Linux-based OS designed as an
| alternative to smart mobile and wireless phones based on Microsoft Windows
| Mobile, Nokia Symbian, Apple's iPhone and RIM. The device should appeal to
| applications developers who won't buy the Android-based T-Mobile G1 because
| they don't subscribe to T-Mobile's network.

inux finally loaded onto iPhone!
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux fans who have been waiting for Linux to come the iPhone and iPod Touch
| need wait no longer – the breakthrough has finally been made, years after
| Linux found its way onto earlier iPod models. There’s a way to go before the
| project is mature, with plenty of things, including touchscreen support, yet
| to come. Still - Linux on the iPhone is here, at last!

First steps for Linux on iPhone
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux on the iPhone project has released the first results of its work.
| The current port of Linux includes a bootloader, OpeniBoot, which allows the
| user to select booting either the iPhone OS or the Linux port. This first
| port is very limited though, as the demonstration video that has been
| released shows, there is no touchscreen support for interacting with the
| device; instead a USB console is used to type commands.

The iPhone Is Now Doomed
,----[ Quote ]
| I cannot claim to be a developer, but I have been watching the whole iPhone
| application development issues with interest. As of today’s news, it appears
| that the iPhone development process is like this:
|
| 1. Ask Apple for permission to make an application.
| 2. Sign a non-disclosure agreement.
| 3. Invest time and money into an iPhone application.
| 4. Ask Apple for permission to sell or give away your application.
| 5. If Apple says YES: start making money and hope Apple does not change
| their minds.
| If Apple says NO: shut up and deal with it. If you say anything, Apple
| can sue you, further raising the wasted investment money.
