"If you’re familiar at all with the history of Android, you’ll recognize the name Rich Miner. If you’re not, he’s one of the co-founders of Android, the company that was bought out by Google back in 2005. He’s been there since the beginning and worn a few different hats. If the rumors prove to be true, he’ll soon be wearing a new one for Google. Venture Capilatist. A Reuters reporter was at a recent conference for web startups and noticed something strange sitting on a table - a name tag with Rich Miner and Google Ventures listed on it. As of right now, there is no such this as Google Venture… At least not in any official capacity. When contacted for more info, A Google spokesman said, “It’s a project we’re working on. But we’re not able to discuss the details right now.”" - Richard pancakhaus Walker from Bookmarklet

Phonebook is a great alternative to the Contacts application and it comes with a new user interface and extra features such as a landscape view, an activity log which includes calls and messages. A Professional edition and a Social edition will soon come on the Android Market - Ozkan Altuner from Bookmarklet

"I believe we were able to do the fixes for SoundPool without changing the public API. There are no plans to deprecate it at this time." - Karl Rosaen from Bookmarklet

Good find. Hopefully they'll make SoundPool more robust by the time I get to porting my games. - Gyuri Grell

this app is awesome: start hiking with this app going in the background, it tracks your hike, and then you can upload it to view on google maps. it also has stats like distance, a graph of the elevation profile and more - Karl Rosaen from Bookmarklet

"ravel website lastminute.com have released an app for the T-Mobile G1 that flags up nearby activities on a radar-style display. nru (”near you”) takes advantage of the G1’s GPS and compass to work out where the user is, offering up a range of bars, restaurants, cinemas and cafés - among other things - that are geographically close." - Tim Hoeck from Bookmarklet

I thought I had shared this before..."In essence, this website is a client for Google's Android Market. It should be just as up-to-date as if you were using the native client on your real device." - Tim Hoeck from Bookmarklet

from modmygphone.com: "I've been using my GPhone for a while now, and programming the SDK even longer. I've collected tons of great links, feeds, and twitter streams. I put them all together on http://androidsavvy.com Have a look, it's not just the links themselves, the feeds and tweets are the actual content. Kinda like an "iGoogle" for Android! Let me know if you have any suggestions for new content, and keep checking for more goodies!" - Tim Hoeck

"Skyhook Wireless has ported its SDK (software development kit) for "hybrid" geo-positioning to the Google-sponsored, Linux-based Android mobile-device stack. The company claims its "XPS" kit can provide "iPhone-quality" fixes within a second or two -- much faster than Android's firmware running on the TMobile/HTC G1." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

From Corey Smith: "First, let me share why I originally chose Wordpress. It was easy. That’s it. That is the only reason why I chose Wordpress when I started blogging. It was easy to use. It was easy to set up. For a blogging platform that you want to set up in a couple of minutes, there is no easier way to go. I don’t, however, think that Wordpress is the best solution for bloggers who want power, and I especially don’t think that Wordpress is really the best way to go for people who want fully featured websites." - Mark Trapp from Bookmarklet
