Google Improves Image Search for Android and iPhone
First the Nexus one now this...
I thought it was funny when Google told Nexus one owners that their phones were no longer going to get updates and to go look at the Verizon Incredible, but this is halarious.
Google updated it's own website for 100% of iPhone users but half of a percent of Android users that have 2.1 on their devices.
What's it like to have to constantly worry if you are eligible for the next update or if your carrier will upgrade you device when the unlocked version gets the updates?

which is why it is 2.0 or higher. with 2.0, they totally reworked the browser, which is apparent if you look at any pre 2.0 device side by side with a droid/n1/incredible/etc.
Also, a heck of a lot more than 1% of devices are running 2.1 right now. Remember, the Moto droid is one of the largest holders of that market. Last I checked, it (2.1) was over 30% of the market.
iphone's web browser is webkit based which is why it works. Google did nothing additional to get it to work with other iphones.
You should really stop commenting on Android.

who peed in your wheatie's?
1. Android has had a webkits based browser since Day 1. https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.p hp?a=229&p=1623
2. Android is going to stay mediocre forever because there are to many different standards for developers to try and follow- this move proves even Google cant keep up with itself!!
3. Since Google forces carriers and Manufacturers to update their own Android equipment, customers may never receive the latest version of Android because Carriers don't want to hire a slew of programmers to keep their already working equipment in tip top shape. This raises the prices for customers because carriers either have to hire more programmers to support Android or Customer Service agents to support cust...

1. The browser in 2.0 is SIGNIFICANTLY different than the browser on 1.5 and 1.6.
2. Subjective at best, patently false more than likely. For one, google is working on curtailing fragmentation by making most updates down-loadable through the app store, meaning that phones will update a lot faster. One of the biggest things creating fragmentation is carrier control. This will largely end once updates no longer have to be pushed OTA through their networks instead of just through the app store
3. Again, read the news. Google is changing that. Google knows that the updating thing is an issue, and they've stated PUBLICLY many times that they are addressing it.
Your blind iphone fanboyism is your issue. You shouldn't talk about...

1. "significantly Different" means they didn't want to put the effort into the original browsers to make them compliant with HTML 5 (something webkits was designed to support)
2. I am referring to the fact that manufacturers are creating Android phones with QVGA, WQVGA, HVGA,VGA and WVGA screens- this isnt taking into the fact that most devices can only hold a maximum of 156MB's worth a apps so developers are automatically stripped of their ability to create large and in depth apps straight on the device. I am also referring to the FACT that if a developer wants to target "nearly" EVERY Android user they have to program an app for OS 1.5 (the majority of Android devices sold)
3. they have said they are addressing it but what actions ha...

1. It's not just Html5, it's a specific revision of the Codec. They weren't "lazy" no one gave 2 shakes of a lambs tail about HTML 5 last year until Apple started making their big anti-flash push.
2. And screen sizes matter how? The Iphone will now have 3 different resolutions (at least), 4 different OS versions (3.3, 4.0 without multitasking, 4.0 with multitasking, ipad 4,0)
And app space doesn't matter. apps only need the CORE of the app stored internally on the microSD card. This is why most apps are only 1mb or less. the most memory intensive app at the moment is google earth, and that is 30mb. all the data like the map files, the sounds, etc can all be stored on the SD card. yes, this means that you need to have an SD car...

1. your views on HTML 5 are specution at best... http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.1. html for the latest update info about android
2.the iPhone has always had a 320X480 (HVGA) screen from day one. All current iPhone models will move up to 4.0 but all features (3rd party multitasking will not be offered) but all core functionality will be there... unlike Android. Speaking of Android, you cant save apps to your MicroSD card, so you are left with nothing but fart apps and camera apps, with few random "Tower Jump" knockoffs. Using an Android device you will never be able to get games like "Square Enix's Chaos Ring" a FF7 type RPG built for the iPhone, the game itself weighs in at 253MB. That is more than all the memory you have for ...

1. I don't care about the latest updates to HTML5 because they don't matter. What matters is that the reason it works on 2.0+ and not 1.5 or 1.6 is because the codec IS NOT IN THE BROWSER.
2. Alright, so a new developer is working on an awesome app. It takes advantage of multitasking and 4.0 api's to make it so awesome. This means that ONLY users of the 3gs and 4.0 software will be able to use it. He'll also need to make it for three different screen resolutions (unless he just relies on pixel doubling). But what about iphone 3g users? well, he can make a non-multitasking version of the app.. but what about all those people with a 2g? or an original ipod? should he ignore them? is it worth spending the extra time totally recod...
