		<title>Apple iPhone 4 Antenna Press Conference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll just come right out and say it:  I was disappointed with Apple&#8217;s iPhone 4 antenna press conference.  The outcome was exactly what I expected (after all, a complete recall is too expensive and damaging to Apple&#8217;s reputation, and having the people at the Apple stores apply some simple insulating tape would cost a fair [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Signal Strength Isn&#8217;t Very Useful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s been a lot of talk about how signal strength and its representation by bars on cellphones, especially due to the iPhone 4 having a significant problem with attenuation when held the &#8220;wrong&#8221; way.  I&#8217;ve also seen a lot of people posting responses to articles asking things like, &#8220;Why can&#8217;t they just represent the [...]]]></description>

		<title>SmartQ V7 Android, Ubuntu, and Windows CE Tablet Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tablets are starting to become mainstream, particularly with all the publicity the iPad has received.  Cisco announced their Cius business-oriented Android tablet, and many other companies have products lined up.  However, right now tablet choices are fairly limited.
There are a few different reasons for getting a tablet, most of them revolve around the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dreaded F-word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have seen an increasing number of articles on the dreaded &#8220;F-word.&#8221;  No, not the word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the F-dash-dash-dash word.  I&#8217;m referring to &#8220;fragmentation.&#8221;  Site after site claims that fragmentation is killing the Android platform, but I guess by &#8220;killing&#8221; they mean the same kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Apple iPhone 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The iPhone 4 has been officially announced, and it is largely what most people expected after Gizmodo published info about a prototype they obtained.  The single biggest improvement is the screen.  It&#8217;s now 960&#215;640, which is exactly twice as many pixels along each axis as the previous iPhones.  This means that apps [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sending HTML Email With Android Intent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s very easy to send email via an Android intent.  Here&#8217;s an example where we already have the subject and body prepared but want to let the user decide on the recipient:

final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType(&#34;text/plain&#34;);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, &#34;Email:&#34;));

(It&#8217;s important to note that this should be attempted on a real device.)
I ran into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Predator Clock Widget (Beta) Available For Android</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have published a beta version of the &#8220;Predator Clock Widget&#8221; to the Android Market.  The app started out as a simple app request on the Android Forums, but it quickly turned into something real.  Though it is just a beta version, I wanted to get something out there early on.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Android URL Sharing And Shortcuts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems like the longer I use my Nexus One, the more features I find.  One of the things that I really love about the Android operating system is the interconnectedness of the apps and their ability to access system-level features.  You can use AppAlarm to begin playing a Pandora radio station at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nexus One Debugging In Ubuntu Linux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is mostly just a note to myself, but I figured some other people might find it useful.  When I connected my Nexus One, it was showing up as &#8220;????????????	no permissions&#8221; when I ran adb devices.  I added the typical udev rule and had no luck.  Running lsusb revealed the the vendor [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple iPhone OS 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.&#8221;  That&#8217;s a quote from Steve Jobs about their lawsuit against HTC (i.e., against Android, really), but I think it applies pretty well to iPhone OS4, as announced today.  Innovation definitely wasn&#8217;t the focus of the event.
The majority [...]]]></description>
