Google

So, Google has released the code to their mobile operating system, Android. Now I know this has confused some people who already thought that the code was open, but it wasn't until yesterday. Although several revisions of the Android SDK have been released over the past year, the actual guts of the code had remained closed, until now. It was released to coincide with T-Mobiles release of its G1 mobile phone, the first Android powered device.

I finally had a couple of spare hours to devote to the entertainer project over the past couple of days and things have begun to move forward. One of the features/bugs that was assigned to me was to investigate why the weather code failed the unit tests and also look at how the gui element could be implemented. Well, I managed to do both.

If like me you are unfortunate enough to have to work with Microsoft Outlook and a Windows based mobile smart phone for work, then syncing with GPE-Cal on a Nokia Internet Tablet seems like a tall order. In fact its not that difficult; you just need to know how to 'glue' the bits together.
