Android, day one (and an half)

So, I finally got my Android smartphone AND tablet. I've been toying with them for about a day now and I wanted to share some toughts and some thing I learned.

• Don't plug Asus Transformer USB charger on your UPS, it didn't play well for me (bad smell, I tought it burned but it works fine on a wall plug)
• Android doesn't connect to wifi network if the SSID contains spaces
• Most Android devices doesn't work out-of-the-box on wifi channel 13 (this sucks)
• Android is marketed as "open", but most "apps" on the market are closed source and the App Market model isnt open at all. Also, the "app" model isn't open.
• Many web sites recognize mobile browsers. Sadly, most fail to check the screen resolution: what's the point in providing a mobile version on a 1280x800 pixel screen (tablet)?
• Flash runs smooth. Better than on my desktop. Adobe, you fail badly.
• Skype sucks also on mobile.
• Problem is: GTalk sucks too. Maybe in ten years we all will be using GNU Free Call. But I want it now.

Updates will follow.

Blogger ha vinto (per ora)

Nonostante i miei buoni propositi, sembra che la creazione di un tema per Blogger richieda uno sforzo molto superiore a quanto avevo preventivato, più che altro per la devastante mancanza di documentazione, che mi obbligherebbe a lunghe sessioni di reverse engineering partendo dai temi esistenti.

Non credo ne valga la pena.

Se Google si sforzerà di produrre documentazione decente, la leggerò volentieri e porterò il mio tema da HTML5 al formato di Blogger, ma per ora dovrete accontentarvi di questo tema "adattato" da quello "Simple" di partenza.
