| But did I mention it's $199? For the price 
| of an iPod Touch, you get a 7-inch, 
| antireflective screen with an 800x480-pixel 
| resolution, multimedia playback, Web, e-
| mail, photos, and a ton of Android app 
| goodness.

| The news comes to us today that in 1Q 2010 
| Android phones outsold Apple’s iPhone by a 
| significant 7%. As it said on the 
| gunslinger’s gravestone, “I was expecting 
| this, but not so soon.”
| 
| Business Week and the Wall Street Journal 
| are on the story, but the most interesting 
| version is from the story they’re 
| apparently deriving from at All Things 
| Digital, because it includes a graph 
| showing recent market share trends that 
| conveys a lot more information than the 
| present-time numbers.

Practical Open Source

,----[ Quote ]
| Getting the Source · Before you can do 
| anything with the source code, you have to 
| go get it. This could be a daunting task if 
| you’re not familiar with what a “case-
| sensitive filesystem” is, or how to use the 
| git distributed version control system.
| 
| Fortunately, over at source.android.com 
| there are step-by-step instructions that’ll 
| let you get by even if you’re only lightly 
| acquainted with all that stuff.
| 
| I’d advise you, if you’re doing anything 
| substantial with Android, to go grab that 
| source code. It takes less than 10G of disk 
| space, and if you haven’t done this kind of 
| thing before, you might find that it feels 
| empowering.

| Wang said that next up is audio support:
| “We’ve already laid the groundwork for
| audio support on the 3G and gotten it
| working in our homemade bootloader, so
| support for audio in Linux/Android will be
| coming in a few days.”
