Don't worry I got it all sorted last week. I am watching films under the covers all cosy and warm every night now.
. . . and when I have to get up and sit with my daughter when she wakes up in the night I now have something to keep me sane.

I see that what I said might happen with the fragmentation to the platform. There are now disgruntled manufacturers and the OS is being complained about with the release of the Nexus and the lack of a SDK to support it.

Can you imagine Microsoft releasing an OS without 1st releasing the SDK to go with it and doing all that a long long time before they actually sell that OS? I can't because its never happened, with all their faults, they do know what they are doing on several fronts.

The Lenovo phone looks well lush.

True to form, history is repeating itself. Android is this generations J2ME.

Android 2.1 looks to be on it's way to Hero and Magic owners quicker than expected:

Android 2.1 coming to HTC Hero next month

You don't seem to understand how big this announcement is. There are a huge number of industry big players involved, all looking to develop for this new platform. It's potentially the biggest change in the mobile market for years and may end up crushing the dominance of Microsoft, Palm, RIM and Apple.Seeing as there's a good chance that the 'average person in the street' will end up using a phone powered by this new OS, I'd say it's of general interest.

That post was from 2007 as the Android OS was announced.

And today:
Android’s world domination continues, capturing 59 per cent of the global smartphone market

You smug git.

I really wanted to put something here berating you for not profiting from this confidence, but in fact if you'd gone long GOOG on the day of the announcement you'd be down about 15%.
