Android uses SPOT idea
Tuesday Sep 23, 2008
So this is pretty funny ...
"Brin said he has already been playing around with the device and described an application he developed that allows him to throw up his phone and calculate the amount of time it takes before it hits the ground."
Which is, oddly enough, the very same application we (the Sun SPOTs Team) demonstrated for Google and a bunch of other folks a few weeks ago.
Imitation is, indeed, the sincerest form of flattery.
Ok, I have one question though: What does it say about the user experience of this thing that the very first application Brin writes is one to determine how far he threw the thing? I mean, if it was a WinCE device, sure, but this is supposed to be an improvement in the User Experience, right?
[ Oh, wow! Look at the moon! ]
