Getting closer to a google phone blog..

Getting closer to writing a decent blog on the google android linux phone! I like to use it for a good week first to see its real good points and bad points. A few things that spring to mind ..
Major hang up is no on screen virtual keyboard which would be better than flippin the phone open everytime I want to reply to a quick text!
I’ve managed to suss out how to write to my blog through the browser on the google phone ill blog this but it was a real pain!
One big pain in the ass is the charger socket! Try use the keyboard on the phone with it plugged in!! Madness who designed and tested this….
One thing I am happy about is I’ve got a irc client working now and I have root on the phone!! Yes you heard I am root and have busybox installed so I’m at home in the linux box!!!
I have a precompiled sshd and ssh here the ssh works fine but need to make a sshd config for sshd – I have use the deadly telnet service a few times till I configure it.

Google – Where is it going..

399First we get gOS – the google search engine the most popular search engine on the internet – next we get google gadgets for the desktop and igoogle – then we get google desktop and google office!! wow they are really going to town..
Thats not it we then get the new chromium google web browser which currently i a massive bit of kit to download to compile on linux! (450 meg) now we also have gOS the google operating system based on linux with all the google tools built in!! wicked but what ties it all together?
Andoid is the answer – yep the new google phone available next month from T mobile – its features are awsome – now tie that in with all the other tools i just talked about could just toe them into the door for being the leaders of all operating systems – if google puts microoft out of the picture at least we will get all this built on linux boxes so we gain security and stability – my fingers are crossed – its on the cards watch this space – long live google.
