Do you want to see whole room full of Android nerds, all gleefully outlining their plans for possible future Android apps and developments? Or is that a bit to ‘close to home’? Regardless, it looks like everyone at the March ‘Hackathon’ had fun and at the very least got to spend a happy few hours comparing laptops.
Here’s how Google described the event:
“Attendees, which include developers, web developers, UI designers, and testers, come together over a short time in an informal environment to build new Android applications. Development projects will include both solo and team efforts. We encourage attendees to team up, based on expertise, to work in ad-hoc project development teams. All attendees should be prepared to work on an application project during the event”
And here’s the video. No idea-thievery, please:
This particular Android Hackathon took place on March 13, and prize winners were announced during a separate Android meet on March 17 – read all about that and find some of the developers featured in the above clip here.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
