LiveDroid: try Android the easy way

GadgetDog: LiveDroid: try Android the easy way

LiveDroid is not the first Android live-spin project, but it's the first one I've tried out. You can check out the Japanese project page here, or directly download the iso from this link (a new page or tab will open - just wait and you'll be prompted to save the file).  All you need to do is burn the iso file to a DVD and boot 'er up! Leave a comment with your configuration and results if you want to help the project. I've never heard of a...
Dell Mini 10v running Android and Ubuntu

GadgetDog: Dell Mini 10v running Android and Ubuntu

In this video, a Dell technology strategist talks about the new Mini10v and displays three of them running on Ubuntu, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and Android Cupcake. We aren't shown anything else, and Mr. Anson makes it clear that no Android-based Dell products have been announced. Nevertheless, it's encouraging to see them actively working on... something Android. Dell's relatively massive support of Linux started with a user submission to the...

Android-powered Archos this Summer?

GadgetDog: Android-powered Archos this Summer?

The tablet poised to unleash the full potential of Android is coming in the third quarter. So those of you waiting impatiently for a sexier version of the G1 - or some other excuse to splurge for Android - may want to hold off a bit. The Archos tablet will have telephony, but is much more akin to a tablet computer than a cell phone. It's referred to by Archos as an Internet Media Tablet. So far, Archos has focused on hi-res media playback with...
Opera jumps to the Nintendo DSi and... Ford trucks?

GadgetDog: Opera jumps to the Nintendo DSi and... Ford trucks?

So the DSi looks like a nice little device right? Noah did an unboxing and hands-on yesterday, and I have to say that it has me yearning for some free time to kill with nothing on my mind but a quest for a glowing ring, a race against a scary turtle, or a damsel  in need of rescue. Maybe all three at once. But as Noah pointed out, the DSi has more going for it than gaming. The newest Nintendo handset is focused on user customization,...
Netbooks, netbooks, netbooks.

GadgetDog: Netbooks, netbooks, netbooks.

It appears that the light-weight powerhouse that is Android has either been embraced by OEMs at the very instant that the planets aligned and created the need for a cheap, high-quality, open software stack for mobile devices, or that it has, in fact, helped to carve out and designate the perfect moment for an open source revolution. Linux evangelists have looked long and hard for a sign of the End Times, and I'm happy to proclaim that Armageddon...
