  • androids are taking over!

    See­ing those new touch screen enabled smart­phones with the new android plat­form. This seems to be a com­plete oper­a­tion sys­tem based on a Linux ker­nel, with real multi-tasking capa­bil­i­ties, an openGL library, a SDK allow­ing to code in Java, as you can see in the video below. This all makes me quite ner­vous! Google announced all pub­lic releases of android for sum­mer this year, so I am really look­ing for­ward to the things to come, but I will not wait that long to try the SDK with doc pro­vide already :)

    You will find a lot of demon­stra­tion videos out there, but I really liked one small thing done in android so far, hav­ing a con­text menu by per­form­ing a long click is some­thing tru­ely use­ful and nice in my eyes.
