Google Android Tutorial

“Google has recently released the Android platform for developing mobile applications. The language used for developing Android programs is Java, but it is not Java Micro Edition. No wireless application developer can ignore Android. Google is the best known brand name, among the users of the web and Android comes from Google. I am presenting this hands-on tutorial, as a sequel to my j2me series. Adequate knowledge of core-java ,especially Event-handling, Swing and inner-classes is assumed. Though Android does not make use of Swing, it uses similar ideas.”

Google Chrome OS

“It’s been an exciting nine months since we launched the Google Chrome browser. Already, over 30 million people use it regularly. We designed Google Chrome for people who live on the web — searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends. However, the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. So today, we’re announcing a new project that’s a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. It’s our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.”

Android vs. iPhone: No Contest for Developers

"Well, Android made its first showing last week in the form of the new G1, and as is so often the case when a brand-new product arrives, there were at least two noticeable effects. The first was a general quickening of the market’s commercial pulses, as consumers began to salivate over the iPhone contender and new latest thing. Second, of course — and our favorite part — was that tongues began wagging afresh throughout the blogosphere."
