This Gogole training video showed up in slashdot a few days ago, but might be worth reposting here. The title is a bit on the nasty side, but the message itself is much more positive.
Folks in other countries might want to edit the url's ".com" to point to their regional google and get a bit faster response. Even though the google page has one of those an infernal *.flv files embedded, the downloadable mp4 file (the one marked "video ipod/sony psp") plays just fine in mplayer. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4216011961522818645 As to my two cents, and I'm still not sure how a wifi hardware selection question lead to a thread of gsm data plans (and with no subject-line change to boot!). Gsm data plan selection is somewhat overwhelming for first time buyer and there is no way that someone looking through the on-line archives is going to spot the discussion from the subject line. As a result the same question is going to get asked on the list more frequently than it would otherwise. That was the first cent's worth of my two cents. The second cent is that many folks here are looking at the developer's phone as simply a way of getting the consumer's phone 6 months early. These people obviously have never used early rev. engineering hardware. My experience is that it normally has plenty of hardware bugs that can't be easily fixed by the software engineer. Sometimes a if the bug is simple a few blue-wires and a few trace cuts are all that is needed, but I can't imagine it will be practical for hundreds of phones located in the far corners of the world. I think developers buying the engineering samples should think of them as essentially disposable with a shelf-life of 6 months. Once the consumer device is out software tends to stop supporting some of the weirder quirks of the early engineering hardware and that hardware rev is essentially orphaned. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
