Following up on my earlier entries on Motorola Linux smartphones and recent device announcements from various manufacturers:
Motorola has announced a new music-oriented Linux mobile phone, the E680. It has all the bells and whistles including J2ME gaming support, 3D stereo speakers, MP3 and MPEG4 video playback, a VGA quality digicam, and the ability to support up to 1GB SD memory cards.
Oh, and unlike previous Linux-powered Moto phones, this one looks to be available outside of Asia, too.
Huh? Am I missing something here, or does this article on Vodafone, Nokia, Sun, and others pitching domain name registration for wireless devices confuse more than it explains? Poorly written but intriguing news in its implications.
I read the recent eWeek article “Sun Adopts RSS” with great interest given my employ with Sun and my blogging experiences via my personal site and java.net.
After reading it, though, I had to ask myself: Is this really news? Sun’s been providing developer feeds for many months now and works to make sure related developer sites and communities have what they need to support RSS too (see Netbeans.org and java.net for two examples). The only additional news here is that Sun’s ratcheting up its commitment even further.
Perhaps the article should have been titled “Sun Adopted RSS Long Ago, But We’re Just Now Telling You About It”?
