Yes, in case you missed it – the Android SDK is now up for grabs. Let’s see what they’ve accomplished this far…
Yuck. The whole thing seems to be java. Nothing fun at all.
I guess that ends my interest in this.

It seems that there’s a way to run native C apps in Android, though the explanation of how this can be integrated and used (over at http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/13/android-native-apps) isn’t exactly clear. I’m not sure if there are any limitations placed on them (restricted access to hardware perhaps?).
Of course, this all depends on your ability to tolerate using a Java based UI.
Oh, thanks! I’ll look into it and see…
Hey watch out, I’m addicted to OOP! 🙂
Even worse than “Java or not”, today a colleague showed me his XDA. I hate to admit it, but is a real nice device. And it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in the last years: PDA and mobile phone in one compact piece with a reasonably large display, a keyboard, several interfaces (wlan, bluetooth, usb) and a huge software library.
So why do I hate it? Just two words: Windows Mobile…
Is there anything like that for the Linux or Symbian world?
I saw a report that busybox had been ported to it.
Yay, now we’re getting somewhere! I even found the post about that:
