ANDROID AND MORE ---GOOGLE.....Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project

www.youthsprouts.blogspot.com The Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies, is developing Android: the first complete, open, and free mobile platform. To help developers get started developing new applications, we're offering an early look at the Android Software Development Kit. Open Android allows you to access core mobile device functionality through standard API calls. All applications are equal Android does not differentiate between the phone's basic and third-party applications -- even the dialer or home screen can be replaced. Breaking down boundaries Combine information from the web with data on the phone -- such as contacts or geographic location -- to create new user experiences. Fast & easy development The SDK contains what you need to build and run Android applications, including a true device emulator and advanced debugging tools.     Sergey Brin and Steve Horowitz discuss the availability of the SDK, that it will be open source in the future, and demo some applications.

Google Developer Day US - Fast, Easy, Beautiful: GWT

www.youthsprouts.blogspot.com   Google Web Toolkit (GWT) makes it easier to write high-performance AJAX applications. You write your front end in the Java programming language and GWT compiles your source into highly optimized JavaScript. Writing web apps today is a tedious and error-prone process. You spend 90% of your time working around browser quirks, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. It doesn't have to be that way. High performance JavaScript. GWT produces AJAX apps that: Load faster than hand-written JavaScript apps Use smaller, more compact, cacheable code Automatically support IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, and Opera Use the browser's "back" button correctly Better development tools. Since you're writing in Java, you can use: IDEs that you love like Eclipse, IntelliJ, and NetBeans Full-featured debugging, with variable watches and breakpoints Unit tests (based on JUnit) both in a debugger and in a browser Google APIs and reusable UI components. GWT comes equipped with useful libraries: Built-in UI components serve as cross-browser building blocks for your app RPC helps with client-server interaction JavaScript Native Interface (JSNI) simplifies integrating GWT code with existing JavaScript code   __

WiMAX-enabled VoIP phone showcased at Mobile World Congress

www.youthsprouts.blogspot.com Ridiculous quantities of 3G handsets weren't the only things showed off at this year's Mobile World Congress -- oh no, NetIndex, Kaga Electronics and Runcom shook up the norm a bit with their WiMAX-enabled portable VoIP phone. Reportedly, the trio joined forces to develop a VoIP handset that utilized a 802.16e module, and aside from "realizing all-IP voice communication," it also sports a web browser and integrated WiFi for times when a plain ole hotspot will do. Sadly, we've no idea where this thing will go after it leaves Barcelona (nor what it looks like), but here's to hoping it makes a commercial debut -- and can decide on a single logo -- in the not-too-distant future. __
