Although there might be – meanwhile – better Android Devices than the Nexus One (e.g. the HTC Incredible or the HTC Evo) the last days have demonstrated why it might be, I believe it is an advantage to own a Nexus phone.
Only one day after the GoogleIO Nexus owners can now update their their phones [...]

And if you want to know, if your Nexus includes a working multitouch functionality, just download this little app.
Point you Android browser to the link above and try [...]

…there wouldn’t be the issue with its connectivity.
I’ve tested the Nexus now for 12 hours and I never had a smartphone that was so fast, had such a brilliant display, a perfect usability and such a very flexible and modern operating system.
And I had or have them all: iPhone 3G, Magic, Dream, Droid, some Blackberrys [...]

… I guess we would have seen brilliant working, stable, fully integrated and tested clients in every Apple layer.
Google has surprised us with a brilliant idea, but with a bit confusing, instable and heterogeneous clients (especially for the mobile), but Buzz is free for all and available for almost every operation system and mobile.
Google created Android, [...]

It’s just that easy:
Read this related blog post and you know what I mean.
One year back we started with the HTC Android G1, and to be honest, it’s a good phone, but not comparable to the iPhone.
Now, 12 months later, have a look at the Top Five Android phones, and if you own the G1, [...]

Mashable today reports about a coming Google App Store. Is that the app store, we have waited for so long? The post relates to Google Apps and says nothing about Android or the technology which will be used for deployment and development.
Google needs an app store on the client. Not only because Apple has one [...]

That’s what I expected Google to offer since the start of Android. Now a new company from Finland created with the app Dazzboard something, what we Android users are heavily requesting:
The desktop client to sync apps, music and videos with your Android device, at this stage only for Windows users, but Mac OSX will follow.

Dazzboard [...]

Maybe we will learn something with the Nexus One launch (5th of January 2010) what most of us haven’t yet taken into a account and what will, in my eyes, compensate the biggest problem of the Android platform – the missing, native Android client for my home PC.
Maybe Google will offer a new software architecture [...]

Google is, no doubt, a, if not the winner of 2009, but, in my eyes, they did one huge mistake:
Their Android Appstore is isolated to the Android platform, at the moment, there’s even no client for the desktop clients.
If I had been Google I have had chosen to buy Sun, have had made Standard [...]

In the last days there is breaking out a fight among developers (and others) again.
Which is the best approach to develop mobile apps? Web or Rich Client (native apps)?
I say: Take the best of both and develop Hybid Mobile Apps, which look like rich clients, behave and will be installed like Rich Clients, but which [...]

Sounds crazy, do you think?
Maybe, but it could work, because the Internet doesn’t have to change their current models.
Content in the Internet remains free and Google, every search engine works as usual.
Paid content will be delivered by paid (mobile) apps. The user is used to pay for content in the mobile space, and that differs [...]

Google has founded  a world-wide subsidiary called G-Mobile in 2011 (bought different mobile providers all over the world in 2010). G-Mobile is the biggest mobile telephone provider in 2013,  far ahead of T-Mobile, Vodafone, Verizon and all the others.
G-Mobile has over 800 million customers in 2013. G-Mobile speciality is to provide free high speed mobile [...]

The mobile app train has started. No, to be honest, it even has received remarkable speed – in my eyes.
2010 will be the year of the mobile business app, but the Germans aren’t on the train yet.
At least I don’t see many or any apps of the largest 30 companies (DAX companies) in the android [...]

I own/owned 236 handsets till today.
I have/had all iPhones.
I have/had nearly every Android Device, some BlackBerrys and Windows Mobile Handsets.
The Motorola Milestone is, in my eyes, the best smartphone you can buy – today.
Nothing more needs to be said… sorry, if I compare the milestone with the today’s possibilities I can’t find anything [...]

Es ist schon faszinierend, wie sich die technische Welt weiter entwickelt und gleichzeitig stehen bleibt.
Wie man nach 20 Jahren im gleichen Job immer noch Neues erfahren darf und Altes wieder verwenden kann und vorallem sollte!
Jetzt sitze ich hier vor meinem Laptop und steuere mit einem Putty-Client, mit gleichen Werkzeugen ein kleines Android Handy und gleichzeitig [...]

Etwas anderes sagt diese neue Meldung bei Heise nicht aus, meines Erachtens. Und damit setzt sich der von den Mobileexperten und uns schon eine Weile vorausgesagte Trend fort.
Die Firmen, die frühzeitig und innovativ auf neue Smartphone-Technologie gesetzt haben (wie z.b. Apple, Blackberry oder HTC/Google) gewinnen trotz Krise deutlich und die klassischen Handyhersteller verlieren [...]

Sicherlich bin ich kein Mobilexperte, eher ein Handypowernutzer. Nichtsdestotrotz habe ich in den letzten Jahren über 200 Handys besessen und/oder benutzt und kann/darf mir deswegen eine subjektive Meinung erlauben.
Als das iPhone heraus gebracht wurde, dachte ich, dieses wird auf Jahre unschlagbar sein. Als dann Android mit dem G1 released wurde, war ich der Meinung, ‘wow’, [...]

Ich besitze das iPhone 3G, benutze das G1 (HTC Dream) mit Zusatzbatterie, obwohl mich wirklich jeder fragt, wo ich denn das Handy aus den 90iger Jahren noch herbekommen hätte.
Ich mache das, weil ich Android und vorallem die Programme dafür mag, schätze und nicht missen möchte und kann.
Nun habe ich das HTC Magic in der Hand [...]

Diese Mail heute morgen erhalten, da könnte man ja richtig (Google)Angst bekommen. Ich nicht, ich finde diese Mail prima, ausserdem bin ich sowieso nur im Büro oder vor der Spülmaschine, relativ uninteressante Informationen für den KGB, ach, den gibt es doch, glaube ich, gar nicht mehr…

Hi,

Wie ich heute aus  unten angehängter Email “erlesen” konnte, kommt der kommerzielle Support für den Android Market erst Ende Q1/2009 in Deutschland an. Nächste Woche startet somit erst der amerikanische, kommerzielle Market.
Als Zahlungsabwickler wird übrigens Google Checkout verwendet, bis dato auch noch nicht/bzw. wenig bekannt.
Entwickler müssen übrigens, wie beim iPhone, 30% ihrer Einnahmen an Google [...]
