android is becoming a bit boring i admit. it's what windows is for business notebooks.... you got a new notebook at the office? what os? oh! windows! really?

i don't mind though. it's there, it seems to be a safe bet for handset makers, so they use it... and you read about it. at the moment. let's see what's hot in 3 years.

the only thing i am getting tired of is journalists referring to it as "the linux for smartphones". we all know how wrong this is - but you cannot explain that without explaining the difference between linux, the kernel, and linux, the system that we usually know as linux+gnu utils+x11+some de facto standards like dbus and gstreamer and bluez and hal and gtk and/or qt.... i wish more people would listen to RMS and call the whole damn thing just gnu or gnu/linux or even jennifer. nobody would think android is jennifer.... only because android uses a variant of a so-called "kernel" (what's that, anyway?) which happens to be used in jennifer, too.
