Was at Google Developer Day (UK) yesterday, trying to keep up with the latest developments from the Mountain View search giant.A keynote from Tom Stocky, director of product management for Google's developer products, featured a preview of a working Android device. First showing on European shores, we were told.
All details were strictly under wraps, however. So while Mike Jennings - a "Developer Advocate" for Google - showed off the touch screen and browser features, any identifying marks or logos were taped over.
In a session afterwards, Mike Jennings confirmed that all unveilings would be over by Christmas. Which carriers and handset manufacturers would be involved? He was still keeping schtum, but referred us to the membership of the Open Handset Alliance... So, T-Mobile on a HTC Handset, then? We shall see.
All that seems to be certain is that it will run on an ARM 11 processor, given this is the basis of the emulation software.
Other interesting sessions including one on What's New in Geo, highlighting geocoding developments for Google Maps and Earth. The reason for my interest was a map-based blog - Chips and Beer - which we are about to launch (it won't wait until Christmas).
Anyway, for those interested in developing against Google's numerous technologies - Google Gears for Mobiles, perhaps - this is the home of Google Development Resources.
The picture accompanying this post is the Android logo, btw.
