허니몬의 생각…

ㅡ_-);; 오늘에서야 안드로이드 1.6(도넛) SDK를 살짝 가지고 놀았는데… 2.0(Eclair)이 나온다니…!! ㅡ_-)> 버전이 확 바뀌니… 많이 차이나는 걸까… 관련기사 : Android about to get a lot sweeter…

As long as the Droid gets released before the public release version it won’t matter. Devs will extract the Eclair rom version from the Droid and find a way to flash it to other devices and make it work . How do you think some devs got the 1.6 marketplace into their phones before the marketplace was publicly released?
As for 2.0 being all late in regards to other people/sources, remember that sites like HoFo have insiders who have handsets, and who are way more reliable than a site getting “info” from unreliable sources who think that they got the right info in the first place. Some of us have known that the Moto Droid was coming out with Eclair (thank you, you know who you are ) and have gone past that and have gone through other rumors/info from insiders that have the device, on contrare to sites who don’t have the device and just keep on going along with the rumors. Remember that the knowledge from a person who has a prototype is way more reliable than sites who just put up rumors from other sources who just “hear” from other people. It some sites do put up the correct info because some people from other sites, like HoFo, give them the info that the insiders gave them. If a person with a proto tells us that it has this and that, then we move along and stop speculating about it, but there are some people who keep on asking and asking and keep on speculating, getting some upset.

i heard threw the grape vine that all phones currently have the minimum req for 2.0

its just 2 different development teams working on a “public” release and another working on a “private” release (Droid)

its said the public wont hit til Q2 2010.

insider over at HoFo, couple press releases, and samsung pretty much confirmed it to android and me, just 1 day ago many people believed 2.0 was a long ways away not that its obvious today it will have 2.0 alot of people think they will get it on the G1 or 3G which wont be the case until Q2 2010..

It all depends if the firmware requires new or better hardware to run on. Eclair might require more rom space and ram than what some older android devices have. Nontheless someone could cook up a rom and flash it to older phones, but it might run sluggish

the sholes hardware looks really nice though, especially if it actually ends up with that 16gb internal memory (probably not likely though) so the hardware won’t be outdated for a while, except that phones will start having 4g probably around the end of 2010

one of the things i’m most excited for about android is that the software never gets outdated, and it’s like getting a present every 6 months or so with the new OTA update.

Dude, that video was NOT recorded with HTC hardware. Must be Motorola or Samsung. Great quality.

you dont have to wait for the dust to settle, the sholes will be #1 for a while.. but just like everything else it will be outdated.. thats why i never got a smartphone before, i was waiting for the next best thing.. this is it.. lol
