Chairman Sir Howard Stringer concluded a press conference about his company’s forthcoming Android-based Internet TV yesterday with a widely quoted declaration: “This really is a very big deal.” But it wasn’t until his 50-minute sit down with an exclusive group of a dozen journalists and analysts did he get down to explaining why.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 4:20 No Comments
The Android Team today published a snapshot of the platform which shows the versions of Android most commonly in use. Though the platform is frequently criticized for being highly fragmented, there are three versions used far more than the rest.
Out of the six supported versions of Android, it is a close three-way split between 1.5 (37.2%), 1.6 (29.4%), and 2.1 (32.4%). Version 1.1, 2.0, and 2.0.1 combined only make up 1% of Android users.
Twitter finally releases its official Android app
Saturday, May 1, 2010 6:20 No CommentsIt’s been quite a week for Android apps. It started with the early release of two major browsers and has closed out with the release of the platform’s first official Twitter app.

Until now, Android has been a battleground for third-party Twitter solutions with more than 20 major competitors jockeying to be the “most official” Twitter app for the platform.

Expectations are a very dangerous thing indeed. As a user, if you expect a new device to do something — however unrealistic that expectation may be — you are bound to be disappointed when you find that it doesn’t.
With Internet tablets, it’s not really clear what users should expect when they pick one up for the first time.

Now, tablets are being built upon mobile operating systems, and expectations are shifting.

Hands-on with TweetCaster for Android
Thursday, January 28, 2010 21:20 No CommentsThose who say there are no decent Twitter apps for Android simply haven’t found the right one. When the Android Market first opened, you could sign in, watch the handful of new apps being uploaded every day, and generally know everything that was available on the platform. There really were only a couple of Twitter clients.
But now that the Market has been revised, and there are more than 25,000 apps by the last unofficial count from Androlib, there are plenty of Android Twitter clients to choose from.
