The operating system powering the G1, aka the Google Phone, is now available as Open Source. Which deserves a yay because 1) it means that a whole army of people around the world can now start tinkering with it and developing apps, or even modifying the OS, and 2) this should disprove all the tinfoil hats worried about selling their soul to Google. Oh yeah, and it’s linux based.
Now where’s the Yahoo phone?

So today I’ve been looking at the G1, and I love the idea of the thing even if I’m not convinced of the hardware yet. But I started wondering… how much data is all this connectivity going to use? And as such, how much is this going to cost me every month?

It’s coming! 1024×600 on a 8.9″ display. Teh yum. I hope it’ll have a big software update as well, more linux goodness would be very welcome. But hey, as long as you’ll be able to throw any ol’ distro on it it’s the perfect tinker toy. I wonder how much bigger the whole thing is in comparison to the current model.

Check out this demo.
While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops.
Sounds nice, looks WAY better. The demo features several applications which are quite novel, I particularly liked the demo interaction with the swirly stuff (imagine using that to create art) and the section where they make a collage of photos, dragging them back and forth and dynamically resizing them on the fly.
