But they lost $43 million in Q4 2010

"The bottom line is that Android is not doing well in the tablet space. Not at all."

"Right now any company wanting to take on Apple is going to have to sell their tablets at a loss. "

But yeah, I have no idea how to run the emulator with on-screen buttons.

An action bar is added to the top of the app that will contain the buttons just like in Honeycomb.

I will kind of miss the search. The menu button will just be in the App UI now.

It works the same as it did prior to 4.0, hold the home button down.

There's no added fragmentation. Pretty much every app will use the old ratio and will either display or have the new software navigation buttons dimmed. Video will probably be the only thing using the full screen since once you touch the screen, the navigation buttons pop back up.

Android started out as Alpha, Beta, and then moved to the Dessert names (Cupcake, Donut, etc...)

That image is from like 8 months after the iPhone was announced btw.

No, that image is from Dec 2007. It's a prototype. Android allows many configurations, for example, they had a keyboard less version of their emulator running Android before this prototype.

People get defensive when their told that their device sucks day after day. It's how fanboys are created =)

Even if they were, the fact is that Schmidt joined Apples board after Android was purchased by Google. People are acting like he was in there grabbing all these secrets and then decided to start a mobile OS.

The CEO of Google was on Apple's board of directors from 2006 to 2009.

Google bought Android in 2005. Apple, in 2005, was working with Motorola on a phone that hooked up with iTunes. Since Schmidt was forced to resign because there became too many conflicting interests and therefore he couldn't participate in many of the meetings. If Apple knew that Schmidt was now developing a phone…

Why do people keep using this link? It's a prototype of an OS almost a year before it was actually released. HTC was the maker of the phone which at that time was a Windows Phone maker and that's what Windows phones looked like. They didn't make specialized hardware for a prototype, they just used what they had and…

What's so hard about an Android phone?

Well, is it freezing on a single app?

Except it's on a massive scale. That's like saying that burning a CD for someone is the same as the original Napster.

I kind of remember the Nexus One taking a while to get updates.
