Google Android

We all know and use Google (www.google.com) all the time as the world’s best search engine. Then we got GoogleMail and even an online Calendar & Address Book. Then a while ago, Google released their first ‘Android’ OS palmtop device (to join the many devices using the other OSs such as Symbian, Palm, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Pocket PC & Blackberry); and now they are apprearing more and more! So, the time has come for the Palmtopman to start supporting yet another palmtop OS, in this case Google's ‘Android’…..

Google Android Calendar In-Sync with Google Calendar
As I’ve recently blogged, I yesterday picked up my new Google Android ‘T-Mobile Pulse’ and what I hoped for, I’ve just had confirmed! :-) I’ve had an iGoogle account for a year or so, GoogleMail, noticed the online Calendar etc but never really used it. That is until now……
I have discovered that I can add Calendar appointments on to my ‘Android’ and add Calendar appointments online to ‘Google Calendar’; then with a couple of clicks, your Calendar data is sync’ed in both directions.
Also, keep your ‘Contacts’ In-Sync between your Android & online with Google too!
This earns :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Android is the newest handheld/PDA operating system. It’s an incredibly easy to use operating system, featuring an intuitive user interface which is highly customisable. All emails, phone calls and social network comments and pictures are organised by person, rather than by communication type. It is an open source operating system, which means there are numerous additional applications available, for example games and social networking. Psions OPL (Organiser Programming Language) was ‘Open Source’ which enabled countless programmers to produce freeware/shareware apps for the Psions. Likewise for the Android OS the applications are available for download　from the Android Market (which is directly accessible from the device; (similar to the hugely popular Apple App Store and the Blackberry App Store) and many are free. With these applications users can tailor their smartphone to their own needs and requirements.
The HTC Hero is the latest smartphone device to use this innovative operating system and is available from Clove Technology, www.clove.co.uk.
