Nexus One Touch Screen Glitch [Droid Does]
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Tech
The Droid is on point and the Nexus One has a pretty significant axis-flipping problem. What gives? While you might THINK this could be a problem solved with an OTA update it isn’t looking like a likely outcome based on a Google Employee response by Diane Hackborn:
“Sorry I meant exactly what I said: this is how the touch screen hardware on the Nexus One works (which is essentially the same screen as on the G1 and myTouch). The Droid has a sensor from a different manufacturer, with different behavior. Other phones will likewise have different sensors.”

The Power is in the Software
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Tech
This quote is actually more true today than it was in 1994 when Steve Jobs was interviewed by Rolling Stone:
“The problem is, in hardware you can’t build a computer that’s twice as good as anyone else’s anymore. Too many people know how to do it. You’re lucky if you can do one that’s one and a third times better or one and a half times better. And then it’s only six months before everybody else catches up. But you can do it in software.”
Read the link below for more of the interview. I think this is especially true today with the comparison between the iPhone and latest Android phones. The iPhone runs much smoother on “inferior” hardware due to great software development (and this is coming from an Android fanboy).
