Ben.geek.nz: Google Android G1 on T-Mobile

  • Stu · 1 year ago
    From a developer point of view it looks like a mildly interesting platform. It's Java based (rather than J2ME) which is nice. However the downside of that is the hardware and UI libraries are all Google code. This means essentially you're coding to yet -another- vendor specific platform - about the only code you'll be able to keep common is your business logic. As lightweight as J2ME is, at least it's standards based.

    The G1 as a device doesn't grab me at all though with that fugly Sidekick-like design. Hopefully future Android devices will be sexier...

    From the point of view of a regular user of business mobiles I think this is really something that a business man would require.
