Google Phone
1. Android是Google 所提出的開放手機軟體平臺
2. ndroid 提供 mobile device 完整的軟體環境，包含：作業系統（Linux）、中介軟體（middleware）與主要的 mobile applications。
3. Android 的系統層使用 Linux 2.6 作業系統核心
4.Android 平臺於2008年02月13日釋出 RC14，這次的釋出版本裡包含最新的 Linux kernel（linux 2.6.23）以及 Android Emulator 原始碼，其它 Android 平臺的原始碼還包含：Android 開發工具原始碼（Eclipse plugin）以及 Webkit 原始碼， 可於該處下載:http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
5. Android 是Google 的手機作業系統和相關軟體的總稱，和一般在說「Symbian」、「Windows Mobile」時是相同的。
6. 今 天的發表有兩個不同，但相關的組成元件：以 Linux 為核心的 Android 行動平台（這間公司是 Google 在 2005 年買下的）和 Open Handset Alliance，一個由 33 間手機製造商、軟體商和電信業者組成的 Android 推廣聯合會。
7. 並 沒有所謂的硬體「Gphone」，而 Google 也沒有打算（或至少沒有公開打算）要進入手機硬體市場。到時候真的做手機的，是 HTC、Samsung、LG 這些手機廠，而因為 Android 的程式碼是開放式的，理論上任何人都可以以 Android 為基礎開發新手機。
8. 雖然平台是開放的，但並沒有辦法保證裝到手機上了之後還是開放的。手機商和電信業者有權利決定是否在特定的機種上允許第三方軟體的安裝。
9. Nokia、Apple、Palm 和 Microsoft 不在這個 33 間公司的名單中。Palm 稍早發佈了新聞稿表示將繼續在 Palm OS 平台上支援 Google 的服務。
10. 第一批 Android 手機預計在 2008 年下半年上市。傳聞中 Google 有用一台 HTC 的概念機「Dream」來示範 Android 平台，而這隻概念機有可能成為第一批使用 Android 的手機之一。

艾蜜莉的異想世界(Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)的觀後感
很久以前就已經聽過該片了，但一直沒有機會去租來看。今天ㄧ時興起，想看類似大智若愚(Big fish)的電影，所以就挑了這一片來看，而且該片的導演是 尚皮耶居內(Jean-Pierre Jeunet），他也是黑店狂想曲(Delicatessen)的導演，所以該片應該有一定的品質。果不其然！該片的內容，真的蠻符合我的胃口的，
其內容可參考（http://starblvd.net/cgi-bin/movie/euccns?/film/2002/Amelie/Amelie.html）。
我深刻印象的是艾蜜莉所展現的生活態度，適當地運用其豐富的想像力幫助她身邊的人。艾蜜莉最後也遇到她的真愛，有情人終成眷屬。
