How is this only an Android problem? The summary clearly states it relates to both Android and iPhone apps. Should the title have a brand modifier based on the number of times said brand appears in the summary? Ridiculous.
Just downloaded it for my HTC Magic (2.1) on Rogers and the 3G calling works perfectly. Used it on a free 1-800.
More details here. Growing up in Peru, and experiencing many earthquakes in my life time, you would think I would recognize an earthquake but I didn't feel a thing. 5.5 isn't a small shake either.
As someone who had a flight scheduled to go through an area that was affected by the ash, I say absolutely not. I don't care what the airlines say or how many millions they are losing. I think I will trust the engine manufacturers and their engineers rather than some airline suit sitting in his office when it comes to putting my life at risk in this context.
Yah the official "blog" for android.com developers hosted through blogspot. I guess if you had bothered to actually read where you were, you would have known that.
But it's got a JVM and JVMs take byte code...
Actually, Android uses Dalvik VM which uses

The fact that we even have to ask questions like this (because they are valid questions given Apple's practices) is what keeps me from buying and recommending Apple products.
However, unsubsidised phones (i.e. those we have paid a full price to buy) are also forced to update, even for people who run custom firmware that *already* has the 911 issue fixed.
According to this post, for rooted phones with the 911 fix, you can call Rogers and have them restore your data. Are they not doing that anymore?
For those interested, there are further discussions here and here.
In my case, I use Linux exclusively so this weekend I had to hunt down a Windows XP box (since it doesn't work on 7) that I could use. There was no way I was going to trust
the clowns at a Rogers store nor wait for the SD card to get shipped.
As much as I like Android and the whole concept of an open mobile platform, there is still a lot of work to do in terms of letting all members of that mobile ecosystem know who is resposnible for what. The entangled mess that is the mobile industry in Canada will be a challenge.
Thanks to Rogers' constant habit of sticking their stinky paws in the ROM to customize it with their useless icons (amongst other things), "supported" upgrades to Android devices such as the HTC Magic and HTC Dream are VERY difficult. Part of the reason Rogers was even able to release the fix so quickly was because a vocal group of us has been pushing Rogers and HTC to stop this nonsense and letting us upgrade - I'm sure work had already gotten started. I am curious about what would have happened if Rogers and HTC had continued with their no upgrades plans.
"I'm not entirely sure what this article is trying to prove. Android has been out for a year. It takes most software companies 6 months to ready a new release, test it, and put it out to market. If anyone (carriers or manufacturers) are interested in keeping their hardware on dated software, that won't be clear until at least June."
What part of "HTC has indicated that they do not plan any Android 1.6 upgrades for either the Rogers Dream or Magic but will instead remain on the 1.5 platform" did you fail to understand? This has nothing to do with a testing period. HTC and Rogers have confirmed they do NOT plan to upgrade beyond 1.5 bug fixes.
