Asus Android is decided by
Perhaps you know the Windows Embedded Compact 7 operating system created for use in devices such as tablets and it was assumed that it would be used by its next 3G Asus Eee Pad. Well, in the operating systems world nothing is assured, and unless the contracts and trade associations.
Is that it seems that Asus is not going to consider this option more, and you have decided on Android operating system as its primary tablets, which will appear around the world throughout the coming year 2011. Windows EC7 So the bride is presented as ugly, rejected by the market's most innovative tablets.
The tablets are now more than ever, fashion and one of the major decisions that the companies creating these devices have to make is related to the operating system to include.

Notes on the event Google I / 0 2010
Android makes everything easier Froy
Now everyone will know who has made the second keynote of the event Google I / O. After its implementation and consequences we can draw several conclusions.

Among the several novelties presented in this fun event, highlighting the glorious Android 2.2, called by many "Froy" (Frozen Yogurt). We realize how great this new operating system from Google on the possibility it offers us create a WiFi access point from our 3G connection. funny thing was that this was demonstrated at the event through the Internet by connecting an IPAD.
As you know, one of the most visible sides of criticism of Apple's device was designed with the idea that you have no choice but to hire a data rate itself (preventing you to use the SIM of your mobile phone, you force to use a MicroSim). Read more

Google: Android will be compatible with Linux in two years
From Google claim that it intends to reintroduce the Android code in the Linux kernel, but it will take a while to do so.
A month ago it was known that Android code was separated from the official line of Linux. The brake is that some terminals require certain changes in the code to work correctly, so estimates it will take at least two years to get back to overlap with the official code of Linux.
The code is removed from Linux Android
Android remove the Linux code.
Android, the Google mobile OS is based on Linux. This SO has had a high acceptance by both users and by developers. But it seems that Android, among whose achievements are the development of a free version of Java, will be removed from the official arm of the Linux kernel.
Why has this happened? Because he argues that Google has introduced some changes in the architecture of Android and why your code is no longer compatible with Linux, does not meet the standards required to ensure compatibility with current kernel.
Google so far has given no indication that will change the code, and this uncertainty drags some manufacturers have developed drivers for Android and has also denied the acceptance of Linux code. Read more

Freescale, Nvidia and Asus want to work with Android
Although the presence of Android on the market today is very low, does not lack suitors in the future. In recent days we have known that Freescale, Asus and Nvidia are working with Google operating system.
Last week, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, they could see Android running on Tegra processors from Nvidia. These processors ARM "all in one" can bring new services to mobile devices. In the middle of this year Nvidia will provide companies a conversion Tegra is highly optimized for Android.
The chip maker Freescale said some months ago its intention to enter the netbook market with a chip based on ARM architecture. We get new details, including that want to support Android on their computers . Alternative that joins the confirmed Xandros Linux and technology Phoenix Hyperspace (web browser from the bios).
Today know the latest company interested in Android, nothing less than Asus. It seems that the company already has several engineers working to include Android in its desktop computers (I suspect that in the EEA).
Since the natural place is in the mobile Android ARM, should not be a great job adapting to Nvidia and Freescale. If Asus wants to continue working with x86 will have to work to carry the Google system.
Critical security hole in Android
A few days ago I have read in various media such as the Google operating system for mobile devices and has suffered what is described as "the worst bug of all time" From my point of view is a rather exaggerated statement, but the failure is quite glaring.
