The Apple ad is completely untrue. These phone wars are such fluff... on BOTH sides!

Here’s a short list of what we see as the project pitfalls of Android development at this time. #1: Platform Fragmentation Read more http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48484#comments Google Software Wireless / Mobile Android App App Store business business case cell phone distribution fragmentation Google mobile platform project risk SDK wireless Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:20:42 +0000 Conder and Darcey 48484 at http://www.networkworld.com/community http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48451 A recurring meme in Android-space is fragmentation. One source of such fragmentation fear is the current triad of Android versions in public use: Android 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0. That situation should improve with time, as 1.5 vanishes, most devices move to 2.0, and 1.6 is perhaps used for some devices.

It is like setting up a garage door opener with a wireless keypad that has the default combination. I guess that some people just don't realize the holes they are opening. They see SSH and think, "I've got to have that" without understanding what it is or how it can open insecurities, especially without a password. http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48408#comments Wireless / Mobile Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:56:08 +0000 48408 at http://www.networkworld.com/community http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48373 Researchers at IBM say they have created smart software that that translates text between English and 11 other languages including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Italian, Russian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Arabic. Hosted as an internal IBM service since August 2008, n.Fluent offers a secure real-time translation tool that translates text in web pages, electronic documents, Sametime... http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48373#comments E-commerce General discussions Security Software Wireless / Mobile BlackBerry IBM language translation smartphone Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:51:44 +0000 Layer 8 48373 at http://www.networkworld.com/community http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48389 University of Michigan professors and students have created an Android smartphone apps that gives users and developers a window into how much power their apps are chewing up.

Device manufacturers can take the platform and put it on their own devices.
