Dual boot Windows Mobile and Android OS
Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.03[QVGA|VGA|WVGA] – Dual boot solution for Windows Mobile devices with XDANDROID.
Android on Windows Mobile devices is getting more and more popular, especially with the latest developments, and it’s almost ready for daily use. If you want to have an app so we could easily boot into both Windows Mobile & Android, and Gen.Y DualBOOT was the solution. This release is made for VGA devices, and supports booting Android both from Internal Storage (moviNAND, e.g. Touch Diamond) & Storage Card (SDMemory, e.g. Touch Pro). WVGA version and QVGA version is also ready. This app has been tested on WM6.1, but will work perfectly on WM6.5.x as well.
Keep in mind that your android setup must be installed already at the root of your storage card in order for this app to work correctly (e.g. \Internal Storage\haret.exe or \Storage Card\haret.exe respectively).
Motorola Droid overclocked to 1.1Ghz – faster than Nexus One
Folks over at AllDroid have managed to overclock the Motorola Droid phone to 1.1Ghz, hence making it faster than the “stock” Nexus One which is powered by 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. The test was carried out by testing Droid with different clock speeds (800Mhz, 900Mhz, 1Ghz, 1.1Ghz) after which it was found to be running most stable at 800Mhz.
Motorola Droid overclock guide:
Here are 3 intirim releases I used when compiling the info in this post, where the 600MHz slot was replaced with 800MHz, 900MHz, and 1GHz respectivly. 800MHz seems rock solid, as did 900MHz, 1GHz was only tested for 5 minutes. 1.1 seems a touch unstable so it’s going to be left for when cpufreq and etc get more slots added.

No Windows Mobile for Motorola in 2010 only Android on the go
In a recent interview with CNET Asia, Motorola’s General Manager for the region has stated that all of the 20-30 smartphones to be released in 2010 will run Android:
“There will be between 20 and 30 smartphones globally and, at this moment, all of them will run Android. Naturally, not all will be available everywhere as it depends on the company’s partnership with the various telco operators in each country. For non-smartphone models, they will run either Brew or the Motorola’s own operating system.”

Тhe Android installation is running from a Linux bootloader and isn’t stable enough for day-to-day use (not to mention the lack of support for cellular data or WiFi), it’s super easy to get going and allows you to experience a lot of Android from your Windows Mobile device. If you’re running a Touch Pro2 or Touch HD, we’ve got some love for you too. We hope that one day we’ll be able to do a real port of Android on Windows Mobile hardware, but for now, there’s the emulator. See the download links below that come from XDA.

Google to place ads on Android, iPhone and Windows Mobile Apps

Google currently makes multiple applications for many different operating systems, including Google Maps, Google Search, and Google Voice among a few others.

A mere two days after its release, Android 2.0 SDK has already been ripped from the womb and ported over to a T-Mobile G1. Currently in the most crude state possible, the cooked ROM runs as quickly as Babe Ruth did at his heaviest (and drunkest).The mere fact it’s able to run without melting the G1 and its 192MB of RAM, though, should give hope that the fine folks over at XDA-Developers will be able iron out enough wrinkles to make it usable as a daily driver.

We’ll post our first impressions and quick review a little bit later after we’ve had more time to play with the device and test the Exchange settings. There are some rumblings on the Internet among some media reviewers that Exchange wasn’t working on the Droid.
Be sure to also check out the Google Maps Navigation post for an in-depth video from Google on how maps works. In the coming weeks, we’ll do a comparison between Google Maps Naviation–currently in beta–on Android 2.0 versus Sprint Navigator, which is a TeleNav product, on the Sprint HTC Hero running Android 1.5.

The Moment doesn’t come without its own quirks. The keyboard’s keys and spacebar button will take some use to as the “A” key is pushed over with the placement of the blue Function button. Also, I prefer the HTC Sense UI experience over the vanilla build of Android 1.5, though the positive side is that the OS seems zippy without all the HTC customizations. That said, with Android 1.5, you won’t get multitouch nor will you get double tap to zoom within the web browser. In general, the Android implementation of the browser is kind of slow and won’t win any speed records, despite the faster 800 MHz processor (compared to the 500+ MHz on the HTC Hero on Sprint).
