PalmAddicts: Heart broken Android will not have GTalk & Bluetooth, for now

PalmAddicts 上 Andy 分享的觀點 (他常用 Treo 750 發文，相當多產...)：
他認為將上市的 Android 手機不內建 Google Talk 的原因，其實並非官方所說安全問題，而是會因為 Google Talk 俱備的 VoIP 功能，影響手機系統商的營收。

看來好像有點道理，但是不裝 Google Talk 還是有其他 VoIP 軟體。還是說... Android 不內建 Google Talk，是為了表明不願意直接影響系統商的利益？

DAList 1.00 (new)

Alex Pruss 的 DAList 也算是個 DA 啟動程式，但是和一般的 DA launcher 不同，它讓 DA 執行時像是另一個 app，DA 操作完畢又回到先前程式 (需要這樣嗎？)。我覺得目前版本還有點不穩定。

AttnGrab 2.2 (updated)

我也越來越常用到這個程式... 能更有效提醒自己重要的事件。作者持續更新軟體的精神也很讓人佩服。

v2.2 (build 0704)
- Show the LED state even if the checkbox is disabled.
-
Found a way around the nasty rebuild case so that a device reset is no
longer needed (helpful when you're building AttnGrab from source with
OnBoardC while it is doing something).
- Use 'hvch' and 'hapl'
notifications instead of 'hede' while the alert is active. If you
noticed performance problems while AttnGrab was alerting this should
help.
- Change profile with the ringer switch.

PalmAddicts: Diddlebug using Styletap on a Windows Mobile device

WinMo 上的 StyleTap 我沒玩過，PalmAddicts 上有段影片，示範在用 StyleTap 執行 DiddleBug 的效果。

跑是能跑，但是速記塗鴉的便利性都喪失了。與其如此，用原系統的塗鴉程式也許還好些吧！

Brighthand: Android 1.0 Will Have Bluetooth, Won't Have GoogleTalk

有人發現這一版 Android 開發工具，並沒有提供 Bluetooth API，推論第一款 Android 手機可能不支援藍芽... 官方網站跑出來澄清，它們至少會支援藍芽耳機啦！

但是第3方軟體可能沒辦法直接使用藍芽功能，這真令人訝異...
