Re: Which Android?

And speaking of Android, today's Linux Devices newsletter had a pointer
to something that looks very cool... Google has released a visual
programming tool for Android that was inspired by Scratch.

I'm happy with my Motorola Milestone.  (I'm actually very happy with
everything but the battery life, which is only about a day with all the
radios enabled.)  I'm quite pleasantly surprised by the Android 2.x
on-screen keyboard.  I've only ended up using the Milestone's physical
keyboard when SSHing somewhere.

Scala is another amusing excuse to play with Android... but I really
want Clojure.

John,

 Which Android would you recommend?

I'm very happy with my Nexus One.  I just upgraded it to Android 2.2
(Froyo) and it's great.  I haven't seen any other Android phones to
compare it with though.


Thanks

David Kirk

A second vote for the Nexus One, very happy with it.
