With the recent launch of the Nexus One, HTC Desire, and Motorola Droid, things are certainly looking positive for Google's Android mobile platform.
Everywhere you turn there seems to be yet another handset manufacturer joining the cause, and with the freshly-announced HTC EVO 4G grabbing well-deserved column-inches the world over, 2010 is shaping up to be the year where Android truly asserts itself as the portable OS of choice.
However, despite these highly encouraging signs there's a massive flaw in Google's strategy which could undo all the hard-earned success accomplished so far: fragmentation.
Growth driven by digital software and console hardware sales.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
These new paid games, game trials and “buy once, play anywhere” pricing are coming to Play.
Yer im not sure if my magic will dever get updated even through they said it will by the end of april but it has been discontinued by vodaphone
Anyway im gettign a desire greatest phone on the planet (my opinion before a flameware from iphone users) running sexy 2.1.
for companies like HTC the sense UI makes up for it
motorola tried with motoblur and its okay if your into social nextworking but even then it slows the phone down after a while
I'm a Blackberry Storm user at the moment but I'm considering either an Android based handset or an iPhone in around 5 months time. It does concern me that Android developers have to cater for a wider variety of handsets and handset capabilities over the iPhone whose hardware and software are set in stone. What is the Android app market like now? I'm not really looking for games, more an all round utility phone for my email, web browsing and Sat Nav would be a bonus and what kind of document support is there? I can view spreadsheets on my Blackberry which is useful to me.
Its iPhone OS wich has more than double the mobile OS market share than Android
