04:36.03f00f-so much misinformation about android, it's not even funny.,
04:36.21f00f-some people think it's a phone
04:36.26f00f-other think it's an OEM
04:36.34f00f-and then some others think it's an API
04:36.48f00f-some even think it's an application that'll run anywhere

05:20.43yakischlobawhat exactly is everyone hububbing/being disgruntled about right now? despite watching the conversation for a day or so I still haven't really understood what the problem is. SDK release is being pushed back or something?

06:20.27jastayakischloba: the news that you heard today is just drivel, reported on by folks who did not read any of the initial news coming out of Google.
06:20.37jastabut we are still hubbubing about past evils ;)
06:21.06yakischlobahah. are they resolved, or is the project heading in a less-than-savory direction?
06:21.16jastawell, long term i think we're fine.
06:21.24jastaread the latest entry on my blog to be filled in, devtcg.org
06:21.54yakischlobathx
06:27.16jastayakischloba: this bit of "news" was discored over in mid May, however has not been reported on anywhere major to date.
06:27.45jastaInstead, the news sites picked up this fake drivel that Android is being delayed.  Google's initial committed release date was "2nd half of 2008", and they have simply clarified that date as 4th quarter, 2008.
06:27.57yakischlobaoh. nonsense.
06:28.01jastaSome nitwits interpreted that as a delay.
06:28.43jastaBut, there is still genuine unrest in the community at large over the lame NDA issue, and lack of public releases.
06:29.05jastaAlso, the claims in a lot of the news sites say that developers are frustrated by the unstable SDK.  Bollocks.  To date, we've only had two major releases: M3 was first, M5 came after, with API and UI changes.
06:29.19jastaSo if by "all the changes", they meant the 1, then I guess :)
06:29.46jastaMost devs are upset because they aren't being given the opportunity to have an unstable SDK :)
06:30.19jastaInstead we quietly wait on the sidelines for a release that actually lets us get back to work again.
06:30.34jastaGotta go
06:30.35jastalater

13:26.28Dougie187if it had that, i would be set.
13:26.35Dougie187i dont really need the tablet anymore though
13:26.44michaelnovakjri here that
13:26.50Dougie187i used it in my undergrad a ton
13:26.52michaelnovakjrgraphics card is important
13:26.59Dougie187but now, i dont use it that much
13:27.14Dougie187all my classes have programming assignments, and i can just take notes in a composition notebook.
13:27.35michaelnovakjryea
13:27.43Dougie187and make new friends at the same time
13:27.55Dougie187then my composition notebook is my SN and my Notes
13:28.04michaelnovakjrhha
13:28.57Dougie187either way, i want to get a thinkpad at some point.
13:29.35michaelnovakjrthinkpads are nice
13:29.45michaelnovakjri like the xps 13.3 inch laptop
13:29.50michaelnovakjri'd like to get one of those
13:29.57Dougie187i was going to get one of those.
13:29.59Dougie187like the M1330?
13:30.51michaelnovakjryea
13:31.20Dougie187i thought it was really cool, but the keyboard feels weird, and i read some reviews saying it misses keystrokes about 1/40 of the time.
13:31.32Dougie187so it skips 1 out of 40 keys.
13:31.49michaelnovakjrhm
13:32.05Dougie187they had one at my sams club, and i couldn't get use to typing in the 30 seconds i was standing there, but thats not saying much

13:37.17Dougie187also, you can get the nvs card with that

14:34.09spykididea
14:34.29michaelnovakjroh boy, if you only knew some of the ideas that were submitted
14:34.42michaelnovakjri'm sure anything would have done fine
14:34.54michaelnovakjri'm not even maintaining mine anymore
14:35.24spykidBut you still believe in it otherwise you would be here... ;)
14:35.30spykid+not
14:35.41michaelnovakjryea
14:36.03spykidJust a little bit disapointed and perhaps you had too high expectations
14:36.39michaelnovakjrnot really, just want a new sdk
14:36.53michaelnovakjri like the platform
14:36.55spykidtoo
14:38.48spykidI'm amused about all this Nokia/Symbian news today: this could be a good idea or maybe a really bad one - I believe it's a bad idea for Nokia :D
14:39.44michaelnovakjrit might be good
14:40.02michaelnovakjrcan't speculate yet because they haven't released any development resources yet
14:40.34spykidIf those members stand by it yes, but if SE says: "Good bye and thanks for all the fish"
14:41.10michaelnovakjr?
14:41.18michaelnovakjrits open source
14:41.27michaelnovakjrno need for those members
14:41.37michaelnovakjrthey don't control the fate
14:41.51michaelnovakjrthe community could develop drivers and software that would be great for the platform
14:42.18spykidNo, but Sony Ericsonn owns a part of Symbian at the moment and Nokia buys this part and afterwards...
14:42.22tethridgewhat nokia news?

14:53.17trigatch4this will compete head-on with android
14:53.52michaelnovakjrhow do we know?
14:53.59trigatch4look at the members
14:54.02michaelnovakjrthey haven't said a thing about it yet
14:54.02trigatch4and look at their "goal"
14:54.20michaelnovakjrwhat is the dev platform like? how open source is it?
14:54.36michaelnovakjrthat's like saying msn search is a real competitor to Google
14:54.41trigatch4With this in mind, industry leaders are coming together to establish Symbian Foundation, to bring to life a shared vision and to create the most proven, open and complete mobile software platform - available for free.
14:54.49trigatch4thats a quote
14:54.59michaelnovakjri believe google said the same thing
14:55.04trigatch4my point exactly
14:55.13*** join/#android AstainZZZZZZ (n=Administ@unaffiliated/astainhellbring)
14:55.15michaelnovakjrbut google is not completely open source
14:55.35michaelnovakjri think its a bit premature
14:55.43trigatch4um
14:55.45trigatch4premature?
14:55.54trigatch4symbian has 40% of the freakin smartphone market
14:55.55michaelnovakjrwhen they release development specs then the picture will be clear
14:56.07trigatch4they aren't all of a sudden going to crash and burn by opening it up
14:56.18michaelnovakjryes, but what does open sourcing it mean
14:56.22michaelnovakjrlook at java
14:56.32michaelnovakjrthat is a good example of moving to open source
14:56.39michaelnovakjrits not eas
14:56.39michaelnovakjry
14:56.51trigatch4it sure isn't
14:57.06trigatch4but if you ask me, this is a direct response to iphone, android, etc...
14:57.13trigatch4they realize where the market is heading
14:57.29michaelnovakjriphone isn't in the same category
14:57.31trigatch4and understand if they don't adjust, and try to copy this concept, they'll be left in the dust
14:57.37michaelnovakjriphone is as closed as you can get
14:57.44trigatch4well...

14:58.06trigatch4conceptually speaking
14:58.12trigatch4with 3rd parties able to develop for it
14:58.21michaelnovakjrhaha, they always have been able to
14:58.33michaelnovakjri wrote a mobile app like 5 years ago :)
14:58.43michaelnovakjrit wasn't the same but the idea has been there
14:59.06trigatch4shift in thinking though
14:59.34michaelnovakjrapples third party support is terrible at best
15:00.17michaelnovakjreveryone touts these great concepts and visions and yet none have materialized yet
15:00.56michaelnovakjrthe iphone could, but their paranoid senses are just overshadowing the quality
15:01.41michaelnovakjrbasically its all speculation until people get phones in their hands and we see if it takes
15:01.56michaelnovakjruntil then we should be writing the apps that are on the phones otherwise no one will care!
15:21.31spykidSo now i bugged T-Mobile Germany a little bit :D
15:25.13Dougie187...
15:25.31Dougie187what did they say?
15:25.51michaelnovakjrda, don't know
15:25.52michaelnovakjr:)
15:27.07spykidDougie187: I've bugged them only about some preorder page. in the article I mentioned before they said Q4 if you haven't read it ;)
15:28.51Dougie187wtf is magenta flag?
15:29.09spykidMagenta is the color they think they own :D
15:29.35Dougie187i dont get it.
15:30.25Dougie187does Magenta Flag insinuate Germany?
15:30.49spykidNope, go http://www.t-mobile.com/
15:31.02Dougie187ok?
15:31.16Dougie187where is this flag.
15:31.47spykidIn front of their buildings...
15:32.02Dougie187ok.
15:32.07Dougie187so Magenta Flag = Tmobile.
15:32.22spykidYes, all their shops, everything Magenta
15:32.36michaelnovakjrwow
15:32.37Dougie187I guess I think you mis-understood our discussion yesterday. But in addition to that, i dont see anything here that says it will for sure be brought to germany by the end of the year.
15:32.50michaelnovakjrall i have to say is wow
15:32.57Dougie187i mean all it says is this "T-Mobile Germany explained to us now, however, that the market launch of the first Android phones under magenta flag as planned for the fourth quarter of 2008. "
15:33.21Dougie187It just says Tmobile will be releasing an android phone Q4 08, not where it will be.
15:33.32michaelnovakjrhaha
15:33.45Dougie187thats kinda what we were trying to say yesterday.
15:33.53Dougie187we dont know where they are releasing these things.
15:34.00spykidT-Mobile Germany doesn't speak for T-Mobile USA
15:34.13Dougie187but Magenta Flag doesnt imply tmobile germany.
15:34.17Dougie187correct?
15:34.29spykidYes but they asked T-Mobile germany
15:34.43Dougie187lol.
15:34.48Dougie187ok.
15:35.01Dougie187Also remember, we weren't doubting that they would release a phone in germany.
15:35.17michaelnovakjrhaha
15:35.28Dougie187first, the discussion was with anno^da telling them that it might not be as easy to get an android phone as they thought it was.
15:35.28spykidYou were doubting Q4 and Germany
15:35.31michaelnovakjrt-mobile released iphone only in germany not in america
15:35.33Dougie187No we werent.
15:35.38michaelnovakjrdon't forget that :)
15:36.09Dougie187spykid: we were simply saying, there is a rather large lack of knowledge on our part (and yours) and its hard to speculate anything at this point, since all of our speculations have been wrong up to here.
15:36.13spykidYep and T-Mobile USA and T-Mobile Germany now said Q4
15:36.26michaelnovakjrdo you have a link to both?
15:36.42Dougie187I have just heard T-Mobile said Q4.
15:36.49michaelnovakjryea
15:36.51Dougie187not in what countries it would be dropped.
15:37.13Dougie187hell, i dont even know if it will be in the US.
15:37.13michaelnovakjrexactly
15:37.16Dougie187maybe the US launch of android won't be until 2010.
15:37.34Dougie187we dont know anything, its not like we are trying to squash your dreams of getting an android phone.
15:37.54Dougie187we are just trying to bring a bit of realism to the conversation.
15:38.00michaelnovakjr:)
15:38.02Dougie187especially with everything google has done to us so far.
15:38.10michaelnovakjrwe learned to be realistic here the hard way
15:38.33spykidWhen T-Mobile Germany says Q4 it will be out Q4 in Germany...
15:38.37trigatch4Android will launch in America first, I would assume
15:38.40Dougie187in situations regarding android, its probably best to be overly pessimistic, and then be suprised then it is to be overly optimistic.
15:38.52Dougie187trigatch4: but we dont know, thats all we are saying.
15:39.02trigatch4that is true
15:39.09Dougie187spykid: how does tmobile even know android will be released by Q4?
15:39.15Dougie187google might delay it more.
15:39.16michaelnovakjrexactly
15:39.37Dougie187Its not out yet, ADC1 is still going, the SDK still requires an NDA.
15:39.46trigatch4dougie187: to "delay it more" they would have had to "delay it some" already, which they haven't ;)
15:39.53Dougie187lol
15:39.57Dougie187depends what site you read.
15:40.01trigatch4phandroid
15:40.02trigatch4obviously
15:40.05michaelnovakjrhaha
15:40.08Dougie187but they have pushed back dates already.
15:40.10michaelnovakjrandroidnerds.com
15:40.13Dougie187ADC1 dates first off.
15:40.24trigatch4android hasnt pushed back any dates as far as the release of the OS
15:40.34trigatch4what carriers DO with the OS is a completely different story
15:40.38Dougie187they pushed back the original submission dates, and the submission dates for round 2 submission
15:40.57michaelnovakjrthe carriers are obviously going to brand the OS and put their own shitty software on the phone
15:41.03michaelnovakjrso they need time to do that
15:41.05Dougie187and they say that android won't be out until the ADC1 is over.
15:41.18trigatch4ADC1 is over by August
15:41.18Dougie187michaelnovakjr: and try to lock it down.
15:41.24Dougie187yes,
15:41.30Dougie187but then ADC2 has to start when they get handsets out.
15:41.34Dougie187and we dont know when that is.
15:41.44michaelnovakjryes
15:41.47Dougie187google is floating past august.
15:42.09Dougie187the only point we were trying to make yesterday was that we dont know anything.
15:42.24michaelnovakjrexactly
15:42.24trigatch4i agree that you don't know anything
15:42.27trigatch4hehe :)
15:42.30michaelnovakjri really hate speculating
15:42.31Dougie187lol
15:42.42Dougie187thats what round 1 was..
15:42.42Dougie187lol
15:42.46trigatch4that should be the new channel subject
15:42.54trigatch4Dougie187>the only point we were trying to make yesterday was that we dont know anything.
15:43.03trigatch4taken out of context, that is a beauty
15:43.17Dougie187thanks.
15:43.58Dougie187lol, i guess spykid gave up.
15:44.02spykidDougie187: T-Mobile is an OHA member, why should they know when they can/will release someting?
15:44.05Dougie187NM.
15:44.27Dougie187spykid: we dont even have a solid date for when android is coming out.
15:44.34Dougie187we know android is comign out 2nd half of 08
15:44.42Dougie187maybe that is going to end up being November 30th
15:44.43jastayawn
15:44.46michaelnovakjrwhy does it matter
15:44.49spykidDougie187: why should you have one before the OHA members?
15:44.53michaelnovakjrmy god this is getting annoying

16:21.41morrildlDougie187: I just had a breakfast burrito & a Naked juice
16:21.46morrildlIt's too early to think about dinner
16:21.51Dougie187i can make a mean lemon chicken.

16:23.44michaelnovakjrbut if you haven't had tripe you should really try it
16:23.49michaelnovakjrboiled
16:23.56Dougie187boiled potatoes?
16:24.05Dougie187do you put cheese on them?

16:25.34Dougie187sometimes at the grocery store, i will stage a fight before the cheese and the meats, just so i can make the cheese win and cheer for them. Then i give them a Toilet paper trophy.
16:25.49Dougie187then security comes.

16:26.16Dougie187right in the middle.

16:27.07Dougie187how come noone ever asks "Was that before or after you got your mind back?"
16:27.17Dougie187or rather "Found your mind"
16:27.19michaelnovakjrhaha

16:28.19Dougie187now what shall we talk about?
16:28.47michaelnovakjrhow about music?
16:29.03Dougie187that always starts fights.
16:29.37Dougie187food doesnt, because people arn't too partial to their food. For instance, romainguy__ wouldn't kill me if I said "French food is garbage!"
16:29.48Dougie187but he might if I told him his favorite band was garbage.
16:30.08romainguy__no I don't care either way

17:44.59michaelnovakjrif they called it that it wouldn't be a problem
17:45.02jastai agreed.
17:45.06michaelnovakjrabsolutely
17:45.31michaelnovakjrand maybe should have taught branching too
17:45.45jastaor at least, being clear about when and what would be open.  it took many months for them to first announce that code would come with handset launch.  then more months to announce what exactly was going to be open.
17:46.19f00f-yeah they shouldnt have
17:46.21michaelnovakjrto be honest, i wouldn't get a phone with those 50 apps available
17:46.22f00f-yeah
17:46.26michaelnovakjri want to see more options

17:47.01michaelnovakjrits an issue when you have to halt your development
17:47.16jastait just makes no sense why they could not have been up front about it.  they make it seem like it's no big deal to wait for the source and all that, and defend it as an entirely rational rollout process.
17:47.27jastaand yet, they didn't feel it was appropriate to mention?
17:47.44michaelnovakjrforget the source for a moment, all we need is an updated SDK
17:47.47jastait wasn't part of any of the initial discussion on android, that makes no sense.

17:49.25muthubut am sure, a public sdk will be out soon
17:49.27michaelnovakjrobviously the process isn't perfect, but starting out with a plan is really the only way to go
17:50.07jastayeah, no kidding.  if they truly had no approximate guess when the source was going to come, what would be available, etc, then they had no business launching or announcing the project at all.
17:50.19michaelnovakjryep
17:50.29michaelnovakjrthey should have kept it under wraps for a bit longer
17:50.36michaelnovakjrthey weren't getting industry pressure
17:50.56jastaagain, i'm speaking generically about their strategy.  the source of course is not our current pressing issue, but it just says something about their bizarre public relations approach here.

17:51.46jastalike, why leave doubt for months?  if you are confident that your decision to release source only when handsets launch (or whenever), why not just say so?
17:51.48muthuI hopt its Android too

17:56.32jastaspykid: In the end, as I said, it's all about mismanagement.
17:57.07michaelnovakjrjust wait, there will be a true open source mobile platform that will destroy android
17:57.21jastai doubt that very much ;)
17:57.37spykidjasta: So it's just normal
17:57.51jastaspykid: Well sure, incompetent management is common.  But that doesn't excuse it.
17:57.58michaelnovakjrjasta, why would you doubt that?
17:58.22jastamichaelnovakjr: Just because Android has all the right stuff to get traction in the mobile industry, and no other truly open initiative does.
17:58.47jastaFor example, LiMo is open only under one uncommon interpretation of the word :)
17:59.11michaelnovakjrjasta, but there could be a project out there no one is aware of yet

17:59.33jastaAnd Google has the right stuff to do it.
17:59.37muthusymbian opening up is great
17:59.59spykidmuthu: But it won't help
18:00.01jastabtw, for anyone interested in my honest opinion, I do think Android will be a huge hit.
18:00.21f00f-yeah right
18:00.23jastaI just think it's being fumbled right now.  A lot.

18:21.01f00f-then they'll open source it before the end of the year
18:23.56michaelnovakjrsound?
18:26.48romainguythe JDK contains (contained) several libraries that Sun licensed
18:26.56romainguythe rasterizer for instance
18:27.10romainguyand some parts of the sound system
18:28.27michaelnovakjri'm not saying the won't open source it
18:28.39michaelnovakjrit just shows how hard it is to go to open source
18:29.11romainguythey didn't have that much issues with OpenOffice.org
18:29.37romainguy(they just open sourced it without the licensed parts, like the grammar corrector)
18:32.03tethridgeromainguy, openoffice had the benefit of not being a library that other apps depend on
18:32.29tethridgeI imagine that they would have issues with adoption if they left out the sound parts that are closed source
18:33.38romainguyI agree
18:33.49romainguyI'm just saying that going Open Source is not necessarily very difficult
18:33.53romainguyit just depends on what you open source

18:45.26romainguymaybe it's a RAM issue?

20:24.54muthuhaha, how the blogosphere can sometimes really get going
20:26.25jastai think this news lit up so quickly because a lot of people are rooting for android to fail
20:26.29jastabad news is going to carry far :)
20:27.35muthumay be
20:27.47muthupeople seem to like bad news better
20:28.04muthuwhat's up jasta?
20:28.39jastanot too much, just beating my head against libsyncml again today
20:29.24muthuhmm
20:29.34muthuwhat's your plan for ADC 2?
20:29.47jastano plan
20:29.56muthureally?
20:30.05muthui know you should have something up
20:30.38jastai have no plan, not that i won't submit for it.
20:30.45muthuok
20:30.53jastaright now, i can't really develop a plan for anything, since i know not when anything will happen
20:31.07muthudevice out late this year
20:31.11jastai don't know that
20:31.15muthuthat means android open sourced early next year
20:31.19muthuthen adc2 starts
20:31.22jastai'm not assuming squat :)
20:31.26muthuhehe
20:31.52muthuadc2 on real devices should be really exciting
20:32.16jastaagreed
20:32.36jastai doubt very much that you'll be eligible, though.
20:32.40muthuwhy?
20:32.52muthuadc2 is completely different from adc1
20:33.02jastaat least not eligible with the same app of course, that would make no sense.
20:33.20muthumay be
20:33.52jastaalthough i won't hold my breath.  google is a miserably stupid company, apparently ;)
20:34.03muthunot really

20:34.51muthui know what i'm doing for adc 2 ;)
20:35.15muthubut this year its all CC
20:35.26muthuand its going great!
20:36.34f00f-hehehe
20:36.48jastayou know, summer of code folks were not eligigle, muthu.
20:36.53f00f-yep
20:36.54f00f-i agree with jasta
20:36.57f00f-we won't be eligible
20:37.05muthuf00f-: i don't think so
20:37.18f00f-i actually hope the winners of round 2 won't be eligible
20:37.18jastai really doubt that anyone who has already had a relationship with google on this level will be eligible.  it defeats the fair spirit of competition.
20:37.27f00f-yeah
20:37.43f00f-they're giving out money for a rason
20:37.46f00f-*reason
20:37.46muthui agree if its the same app
20:37.59muthuthe winning apps will be not eligible, of course
20:38.05f00f-jasta: that's the great thing about entering as a company ;)
20:38.08jastawith a different app maybe, but their legal dept might just nix the whole idea.
20:38.09f00f-just form a new company and submit
20:38.21muthuhaha
20:38.33muthuthat's why they would just eliminate winning apps
20:38.38muthuanything else must be fair game
20:38.56jastaf00f-: yeah, but if they specifically stipulate that no prior winners are eligible, and you are still the benefactor of both winnings, then the IRS will have a real problem with you ;)
20:39.07f00f-well hopefully the successful apps will have good deals going by that time, so they won't have time to deal with the little prize monies from ADC II
20:39.14jastanot that you're likely to get caught, but messing with the IRS is unwise business ;)
20:39.18f00f-jasta: hehehehe yes ;P

20:40.08jastameh, probably
20:40.19f00f-with same app idea?
20:40.23jastai'm still working on my app, of course.
20:40.30jastathough i have been focusing on other areas
20:40.41muthujasta: what's the problem with IRS?
20:40.49jastaand so if it happens that the ADC2 is convenient for me, sure.
20:40.51jastathe ADC1 was.

20:41.01muthuhaha
20:41.04muthusimpsons to the rescue
20:41.15jastamuthu: you mean lying to them about dubious earning sources?
20:41.22muthuwhy would you lie?
20:41.43muthuonly the winning apps will not be eligible
20:41.47jastaif google stipulates in the rules that you may not participate if you have won, but you formed some new company to which you were the benefactor
20:41.55muthuno
20:41.57jastathat would be a blatant violation, and the IRS would have a really big problem with that.
20:41.59michaelnovakjrmuthu, adc1 winners won't be eligible

21:08.00michaelnovakjrits basically the emulator on a phone
21:08.10michaelnovakjrwithout the functionality
21:08.18AttractiveApeTFGBD: it's a kernel image, with an initrd holding the Android OS
21:08.20michaelnovakjrare you testing an app on it?
21:08.25AttractiveApeand there's a windows mobile app that'll boot the kernel.
21:08.39michaelnovakjrthe windows mobile app acts like a bootloader
21:08.47TFGBDOh, so it bootstraps from CE.
21:08.56TFGBDIs it only for certain PDA models?
21:08.59michaelnovakjryes
21:09.20TFGBDOkay, so I get ya.  That does not seem to interesting.
21:09.30michaelnovakjrnot yet
21:09.41michaelnovakjrit will once it is officially released
21:10.40TFGBDAre android apps completely managed like J2ME or am I mistaken?
21:10.59michaelnovakjrwhat do you mean by managed?
21:11.05michaelnovakjrgc?
21:11.10muthucompletely managed by android, yes
21:11.26michaelnovakjrwait, what do you mean by managed?
21:11.34TFGBDprocessor independant, complied to bytecode
21:11.56michaelnovakjrthe apps are built off an android SDK..... they won't port
21:12.00TFGBDAre they not Java apps running in a VM?
21:12.14michaelnovakjryes they are java apps, but they are using an Android library
21:12.15michaelnovakjrand runtime
21:12.29TFGBDYeah, obviously.
21:12.39TFGBDIs Android more of less just a more advanced J2ME MIDP then?
21:13.12TFGBDDo you think it is possible the runtime will be ported to other OSes in the future once it is released?
21:13.16muthuandroid might be similar to j2me
21:13.26TFGBDOr aren't these details even clear yet.
21:13.38michaelnovakjri don't get the need to port the runtime?
21:13.50TFGBDWhat is the need to port the J2ME runtime?
21:13.56TFGBDSo other OSes can run J2ME midlets.
21:14.14michaelnovakjrandroid is not j2me
21:14.24TFGBDI'm aware of that.
21:14.28muthugoog is not going to work on porting android
21:14.35michaelnovakjrdefinitely not
21:14.36muthubut ports might be available
21:14.43TFGBDThat is what I'm saying.
21:15.01TFGBDCE has about 10 MIDP compliant VMs from 3rd parties alone.
21:15.09michaelnovakjri am not sure about a port
21:15.18TFGBDWill it not be open source?
21:15.18michaelnovakjrjust the runtime wouldn't help much
21:15.25michaelnovakjrsure parts of it will
21:15.31*** join/#android kristian-m (i=kristian@217.13.205.113)
21:15.37michaelnovakjrnot as a whole though
21:15.52TFGBDIs most of the GUI itself written in Java too?
21:15.59TFGBDLike the browser and such
21:16.11michaelnovakjrthe browser is based on WebKit
21:16.20michaelnovakjrno one outside google has seen code for the GUI
21:16.23TFGBDI know.  So I can't imagine that being ported to java
21:17.16michaelnovakjrthese are all unknown details at the moment
21:17.29TFGBDOkay, sorry then.
21:17.44TFGBDSomehow I thouht more was known about it then I realized.
21:17.52michaelnovakjrcheck out http://code.google.com/android
21:17.59michaelnovakjrthat is what is known
21:18.40TFGBDmmm
21:19.04michaelnovakjrthere's even an faw
21:19.06michaelnovakjrfaq
21:21.21muthuNokia buying Symbian is the big news today
21:21.56michaelnovakjrthat has been beaten to death already
21:22.17muthuiphone brings the prices down
21:22.21muthunow nokia opening up
21:22.27muthuwow, the android effect
21:22.39michaelnovakjri'm not sure that is android
21:22.44muthunokia is taking this seriously
21:22.46michaelnovakjrbeing as its not released yet
21:23.01TFGBDAccording to Wikipedia "It allows developers to write managed code in a Java-like language that utilizes Google-developed Java libraries,[2] but does not support programs developed in native code."
21:23.04michaelnovakjriPhone is bringing the price down because it will replace the iPod
21:23.08TFGBDSo, that answers that...
21:23.54TFGBDpatiently Awaits Android>J2ME Personal Profile wrappers in the future...
