In Android

Started working on a new project. and this one seems to be quite out of the way with what i ve been used to doing. for me at least this is cutting edge - damn bleeding even. so what is android you ask. android is the next gen mobile OS developed mainly by google. No there is no gPhone as such as of now. but google does offer integration of some of their services like google maps and so on in to the OS. but that is optional and there are no bindings. Best thing is inside it runs linux. So if you are really in to open source mobile development, this is the product for you. It runs everything open source since java is also kinda open sourced now. graphics come in the form of OpenGL ES. and there are dedicated telephony, GPRS, GSM, 3G support. in fact you name it's got it - sql, content providers everything. I think that google has come up with a winner this also. lets just wait and see how evil MS will fare. They actually increased the staked last year with shipping of Windows CE 6. It was a major revamp. but i dont think any amount of revamping is going to get them closer to this. So lets wait and see what they are going to come up with to combat android.
