The road to Google I/O 2010 (Part II)

Here we are, less than 48 hours way of the opening keynote of Google's most important developer event of the year. What awaits us, good or bad, we don't know yet. There are rumors about a new home TV system made by Google, with Intel and Sony, which are getting stronger by the hour. Rumors are also pointing at a revamped Android Market, due to the recent changes in the webpage. 

However, what we're most interested in, is in the latest and greatest release of Android, which we're expecting to see on Wednesday's opening keynote; it might not be the star of the show, but we just can't wait. If FroYo is nowhere to be seen in Wednesday, then we can expect it to be the star of Thursday's keynote, like Google Wave was last year. Smart Mobile World will be reporting from San Francisco to bring you the news and our thoughts on the matter. Until then, here's the ending of this two part series on what we've covered with Android so far.

The road to Google I/O 2010 (Part I)

 Yup, we know it's been quite some time, but we're here. And to celebrate the fact that Smart Mobile World will be at Google's most important developer event, Google I/O, we want to remember the history of Android, the road that's brought us here, dreaming about what's coming our way in the next couple of days when, if everything goes right, Google will show the next version of Android, FroYo.

For now, let's look back and remember how Android, was born.

For the love of (smart)phones

So... what day is it? Ah yes, it's Valentine's Day. We needn't to tell you, I'm sure you know it better than us. After all, what does a tech blog have to say about February the 14th? Well, just stay with us, and you'll find out.

Week One

We're back.

We've been around for more or less a week, during which we got caught up with work these last couple of days, and couldn't give you guys much time. Before celebrating our first week though, there's something we need to talk about.

Thanks to the connected world we live in today, we know about the tragedy in Haiti, and we at Smart Mobile World would like to give the people living this tragedy some of our time, too. If you live in the US, there are many ways you can donate a small amount of money, using only your cell phone, through an SMS; for us living abroad, we need to use credit cards, but we would like to point out, that with a little effort, all of us can help. Nowadays cell phones, of any kind, are so much more than just "mobile phones", they do a lot of stuff (mainly through SMS), and with just a few key-presses or touch-downs, you can help, and we can all make a small effort become something big. A message from the Motorola Developer's Group:

In the words of anthropologist Margaret Mead:

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has."
