MobileOSS

I am trying to understand the android’s building block - the activity, intent and intent filters, intent receiver and content providers.

I wrote the first helloWorld program. Looked at the HelloWorld from this perspective and pretty interesting. My first HelloWorld.apk was installed on my machine and it worked

I will post my understnading on these four in the upcoming blogs.

I got my Android HTC mobile last week.

I loved my KJAM and have been using it for more than 2.5 years and it worked well. I was not in a mood to buy iPhone or any Android phone. I was thinking of buying a Windows Mobile before I saw the beauty in a shop and fell in love. It is an Airtel locked phone without market application. I am able to download any Android application from Android and install it in my machine.

I installed Nav4All to check the GPS and it works. HTC Magic GPS is able to pick up up to 8 satellites in my location. The Compass is cool. I will write a separate blog entry on Nav4All. Try swinging the mobile and the G moves above 0g in the accelerometer.

I am playing with it and checking out all features.
I am able to connect to my office using ActiveSync and sync up with all my contacts, emails and calendars. One important feature is missing in the email client - it does not show URL as clickable and there is no way I can copy/paste the link in the browser

Otherwise, I love my new HTC Magic. I am not planning to try rooting process until I am fed up with the current setup

I am also in the process of writing a puzzle game and would post it pretty soon
