I’m not sure I can actually picture myself talking like that in the street but it seems like a pretty bold project. Will Google finalize it ? I guess several security concerns and privacy issues will make it hard for those glasses to arrive in France anyways…

∞ GetJar's virtual currency is really smart

I won’t get back on Android before Google finally make the OS at least as smooth and stable as iOS or Windows Phone but should I be an Android user, I’d go for GetJar.

∞ NSA releases security-enhanced Android

From H-Online : 

The National Security Agency’s SELinux Project has announced the first release of SE Android, a security enhanced version of Google’s Android operating system. SEAndroid is the name of both a project to identify, and find solutions for, critical gaps in Android security and of a reference implementation of a security enhanced Android. The project is currently focusing its efforts on enabling SELinux functionality in the hope that it can limit the damage done by malicious apps, but hopes to widen its scope in the future.

∞ Android : the closest open source project

From Vision Mobile :

Android’s success may have little to do with the open source licensing of its public codebase. Android would not have risen to its current ubiquity were it not for Google’s financial muscle and famed engineering team. More importantly, Google has made Android available at “less than zero” cost, since Google’s core business is not software or search, but driving eyeballs to ads. As is now well understood, Google’s strategy has been to subsidise Android such that it can deliver cheap handsets and low-cost wireless Internet access in order to drive more eyeballs to Google’s ad inventory. 

More importantly, Android would not have risen were it not for the billions of dollars that OEMs and 

network operators poured into Android in order to compete with Apple’s iconic devices. As Stephen Elop, Nokia’s CEO,  said in June, 2011, “Apple created the conditions necessary for Android”

★ Access your iDisk on Android

If you’re like me then you’re not quite logical. You got a MobileMe subscription but no iPhone. Yet sometimes it can be convenient to access the iDisk from the smartphone. The good news is that you can do that easily if you have an Android smartphone.
See the iDisk uses the standard WebDAV protocol. You may learn more here  :

Now you  can configure those settings in a WebDAV application for Android. Some of them even enable automatic synchronization with your phone local storage. I personally use WebDAVDroid Lite Free… just awesome.
