Fwd: [NYLXS - HANGOUT] GNU/Android Linux (Google) phones

[Joshua Zeidner]

  I usually don't crosspost, but I found this video to be a really
useful overview of what Android is.  I looks like a very compelling
platform.  Seems like Google has made serious commitments to WebKit.

For those of you who are not aware (and on this list I would think it
should be relatively few)  T-Mobile has released the G1 phone based on
Google's GNU/Android Linux distribution. Ive seen one its a nice phone
not perfect but its got a very good start.

The really nice thing about it is its got just as much attention if
not more so then the EEEPC when it firs came on the market.
here is a link to a youtube video about it that Google posted
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y4thikv-OM
There is also a link to a site about it on Googles main page.

This is just one more example of irrefutable example of how GNU/Linux
is not already viable and ready but better then the alternatives for
the desktop and beyond market.
