The Year of the Android
Charlie Sorrel:
I got a sneak peek of Flash running on a Motorola handset here at the show. It crashed.
I really hope I’ll be able to disable Flash once it comes to the Droid. Performance is going to be terrible.
Four weeks with a Droid
Matt Haughey goes through his thoughts on the Motorola Droid, the Nexus One, and Android in general. Lots of good stuff here, and his thoughts echo a lot of mine. Android as a platform has a whole lot of promise, and I’m really excited to see where out it goes from here.
Swype Keyboard Preview Leaked
Someone managed to get their hands on a preview of the Swype keyboard for Android, which allows you to type simply by swiping your finger across the letters, rather than tapping them out one-by-one. I installed it on my Droid, and so far I’m loving it. In time, I can definitely see myself being faster with Swype than with the normal keyboard.
Unfortunately, it appears as if the preview only works on high resolution Android devices such as the Droid, but hopefully the final version works on older phones as well.
(For what it’s worth, I typed this entire entry using Swype with barely any mistakes, and I’ve only been using it for about fifteen minutes.)
FCC Unsatisfied by Verizon's Response
If you haven’t been following this story already, the linked Engadget piece will bring you up to date. I really enjoyed this sentence from the last paragraph of the FCC’s letter:
The bottom line is that wireless companies can truly earn their desired long-term commitments from consumers by focusing primarily on developing innovative products, maintaining affordable prices, and providing excellent customer service.
Well put.
