First it was Google’s Android, now Verizon has joined the bandwagon and is launching an open platform for it’s CDMA powered cell phones. This will allow users with cell phones from other carriers to switch to Verizon without needing to change the handsets. The catch is, only Sprint customers with unlocked cell phones are able to switch to this ever declining market which has switched to the more universally common GSM technology!

Some of you might be particularly interested in Design and Development. Here are excerpts from Seven Design Principles I found on this site.
Copy: Scannable, try using bullets, highlight your keywords for specific information your readers might be looking for.
White space & text design: White space is easy on the eyes. Fonts should be large enough for even the older ones to read. Clutter free and yet space optimization is a must.
Pictures: Pictures create a mood and interest, choose an appropriate picture for your post. Keep them light, so that they do not take too long to load.
Graphics: Plan your graphics well, a haphazardly arranged graphics reflects an amateur site, so do it right and within the requirements.
Be easy to navigate: Keep few links in your main directory, arouse interest interest instead of choice fatigue. Maintain hierarchy.
Be credible: With constant skeptics around you, ensure your site looks professional, your stats reliable, and content original.Testimonials, warranty, guarantee, secure credit card processing, privacy policies, disclaimers are the way to go.
Never Be Finished: Google likes fresh content, so do readers. Keep adding new information, tweak your site design keeping SEO in mind.

The simple answer is no, however, Linux the open-source OS might get a huge push and even end up becoming the platform of choice rooting out competition like Windows and Palm. Although handset manufactures like LG, HTC, Motorola and Samsung, chip firms such as Qualcomm and mobile networks like T-Mobile and China Mobile have all showed interest in partnering with Google, none have made any specific commitment towards moving in that direction yet.
Google believes that Android powered phones will make the internet experience on a mobile “better than on a PC”, it acquired Android in 2005 specifically to tap the youth appeal for all things “wireless”, but one expert thinks the hype is just that, a poor PR move and nothing more. Don’t expect a phone powered by Android until mid-2008, so only time and patience can tell if it will take off, in the mean time, enjoy your iPhone.

Here’s a few words from the people who have made this post possible: If you’re looking to easily add some style and ambience to a room, one of the more popular things to do these days is to add a fountain. The calming zen effect of water helps to soothe your mood while the gemstones also look pretty cool too. Indoor tabletop fountains are some favorites while wall fountains are also neat. Most of them are lighted and come with their own self-contained water pumping system. Medical professionals have to wear certain clothing on the job and because of this are not left with a lot of choices. There’s one site that offers alternatives to the more traditional nursing scrubs and medical uniforms people are accustomed to. YOUniforms.com offers affordable medical nursing uniforms in a variety of types including: scrub tops and pants, sets, jackets and skirts in many hard to find styles.
