iPhone vs gPhone: A Celebrity Death Match!
So it seems as though a few minutes after I wrote this blog entry, Google put forth the announcement about Android, a project named after the company they purchased a while back. Google is essentially spearheading an open source project that is an open SDK for mobile devices that runs on a variant of Linux optimized for mobile devices. This could be good or bad for them - they'll need a critical mass of partners who adopt this platform to provide a large enough ecosystem to attract developers. Devs are freaking busy these days, and none of us have time to learn yet another SDK without some reasonable assurance that someone will actually use the software we're building.

The iPhone deserves a lot of its hype, but without going open-source, I don't know how it will compete with the Android platform. More and more people can program and more and more people want to customize. It makes no sense. I used you article on my website:
