Android + - What is the difference?
When it comes down to it, if we are able to eventually run Android from our NITs (via VMWare), is there anything about Android that does things differently or better than 2008 on the n810?
My point being that if 80% + of all this stuff is driven online or in the cloud, isn't it just about getting there with what you already have? |
Re: Android + - What is the difference?
i dont believe in the "cloud", really.
the way you ask your question, it could as well be "what's the difference between maemo and windows" - you know, if everythings in the cloud, why bother? i asked this community for help a while ago on an android vs. maemo presentation i had at the office. maybe you get some answers in this old thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=27416 |

@benny1967 Thanks for the feedback and link.
While briefly looking over that thread, it is much more developer oriented than I was referring to. My point is from an end user standpoint. I have used everything in the past from a Mako Diamond (Psion), Win Mobile, Palm OS, Nokia Symbian, and even a Sharp Zaurus. All of those devices really did the majority of the same tasks; contacts, appts, docs, and now media playback with web presence. Outside of that, is there anything about Android and how it works that brings something of value to the table that will make it worth installing and running on our tablets? Or, is it a continuation of the past that is moving into the future? Bottom line is that there is so little that can be done on a desktop/laptop that can't be done on a mobile device these days. |

why was this moved?
It is about running Android on an n810! Not some Android, Google device that is native. |

- imap email client for gmail
- a huge app market - much more touch friendly GUI - smoother performance - 3 home screens that support not only widgets but shortcuts as well - a lot more apps to install - apps are developed with java..very basic and common programming language as opposed to python |

The GMail app is a Google app and thus only available for Google Android phones, not the N810. Quote:
