6.7.2009 The State of Microsoft Beta Programs
Before I kick off this editorial let me just state that I am no big-time tester and I haven’t even participated in a Windows beta (yet), but I do have some knowledge about such beta programs, I have people who may be considered “big-time” testers that I regularly talk to, and at the moment I’m participating in both the Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Beta and the Office 2010 Technical Preview, which is really the catalyst for me writing this article.

17.4.2006A jailbreak for Google's Android
Hackers have found a way to circumvent controls in the Google Android operating system used on T-Mobile's G1 mobile phone, allowing them to get
around restrictions created by the phone's designers.
The hack gives G1 users a way to read data on parts of the phone that are
normally walled off and could be used to install new programs, or even a new operating system, on the mobile phone. Currently, programs for the open

05.01.2009Report: Google Faces Android Handset Delays
Mobile phones designed around Google's Android software may not be available until the fourth quarter of this year, and some companies are struggling
to even meet that deadline, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing unidentified sources.
When Google and 30 partners
announced Android last November, the Internet search giant said new phones would be on the market by the second half of this year.
But the Journal reports that some mobile network operators, such as Sprint Nextel, have abandoned the idea of launching an Android-based handset
this year due to delays. Other operators, such as China Mobile, have delayed their planned roll-out of Android-based handsets to later this year or
early next year, the Journal said.
