Linus is a Happy Camper
Feb 7th
It finally looks like Linus Torvalds likes his new phone. Yes, that Linus, the one who started Linux. Guess which phone he likes…
iPhone – No
Droid – No
G1 – has one, didn’t like it.
He just bought a new Nexus One and he likes it. He said in his blog: “I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner. I wasn’t enthusiastic about buying a phone on the internet sight unseen, but the day it was reported that it finally had the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided to take the plunge.”
Nexus One Background Videos
Feb 5th
Google has put together an interesting YouTube video site with daily videos showing some of the background on the design, display, testing and manufacturing of the Nexus One. This is all part of the Nexus One channel showing links to some partner and howto videos.

I thought I might put up some website that I find interesting…
This week it is G1WALLZ

T-Mobile G1 Overclocked and Android 2.1 Times
Feb 3rd
I updated the Linpack Device listings to better show the T-Mobile G1 overclocking and runs utilizing replacement ROMs. It looks like the overclocked G1 using a stock ROM is still edging out the Android 2.1 ROMs by about 11%. I just wonder how fast the G1 was overclocked to get that number. Me, I’ll wait for the 2.1 update that will HOPEFULLY come soon.
