Here are some minor news bits that you may be interested in:

  • T-Mobile G1 makes Top 5 Smartphone Ranking. With over a million handsets sold on one carrier only, the G1 has launched the Android platform into the mainstream. In fact the other day I had to chase someone down at work that had accidentally picked up my G1 thinking it was theirs.
  • The New Sidekick LX 2009 will be $249 for new Customers. Many of our Shadow users came from the Sidekick. What do you think about the new one?
  • Dan Morrill at the Android Developers blog says there will be some surprises at Google I/O. Personally I’m hoping for multi-touch or a Live CD version of Android that can be customized with personal apps and can run on nearly any PC.
  • Microsoft shows off some sneak-peeks of the Windows Marketplace for Windows Mobile. Looks depressingly like a jazzed up version of the Android Market. Can we please get desktop browsing with a ’send to my device’ button? Oh right! We have something like that in Our AllShadow Store! And it’s not as restricted either.
  • Trent Reznor thinks we don’t exist, or rather that “nobody has an Android phone.” Are you reading this Trent? Put your iCrack down and smell the ions, Android is here…

Enjoy!
