Looking out for something tasty? Patries would be an awesome treat
indeed. Especially you love cream puffs and eclairs like I do. I
suppose Google’s development team for Android want to tempt us with
something sweet and tasty just like eclairs, hence the name for
Android 2.0 ; )
What’s in store for us in ‘Eclair’ or Android 2.0?
Those who work in companies whose emails are managed by Microsoft
Exchange servers will be happy to note that Eclair is said to ship
with support for MS Exchange. Probably a good enough reason for some
to consider getting a new Android 2.0 powered smartphone.

The nice thing about this guide is that it has sections that talk about errors you might encounter along the way.

Linux on the Motorola A810

Lookie! Another Linux-based phone. This time it’s a Motorola A810.
I wish I could see more of these things locally. Well, and support for them as well. So far, there are reports from the FCC as to the specs of the phone and the pictures as well.
I’ve tried one of the Linux-powered phones before and I found them nifty to use. The user interface was quite different but then again, most Motorola phones are different if you ask me. I’m in Asia so I’d just hope to see it in the mall one of these …read more
