AT&T Announces first Android Phone!
The ever popular open source phone platform, Android, will make its way onto AT&T sometime this year. They plan to offer Android on the HTC Lancaster handset. Lots of details on Gizmodo. Here is a picture of the phone:
FYI – some commenters suggest that ShopSavvy won’t work due to AT&Ts decision NOT to include a variable focal length camera. Not so fast! Our work on project ‘meatloaf’ – i.e. getting ShopSavvy to work on fixed focal length cameras was originally done so that we could offer ShopSavvy on the iPhone. Thankfully, we can simply port that work back to Android and presto – ShopSavvy will work on AT&T phones! Rock!
What about the Palm Pre? Is Shop Savvy doable using their framework?
Yes, we are talking to Palm!!!
Interesting to hear you guys have been working on fixed focus barcode scanning – Good job, I expected no less! How’s it going?
I saw Red Laser released recently, results are medium to poor. It’s not an easy problem to do client side, or indeed at all.
It has to be on client side…. At least that is our position. Server side is fairly simple, but it sucks from a user experience.
What is the status of the iPhone port? Did you end up withdrawing it, or is it still waiting on Apple?
Coming!
