如何在G1上安装非Android Market应用程序

首先你必须有adb.exe工具（android SDK包中自带）。adb是android device bridge的缩写，可以将电脑上的android程序通过USB接口安装到手机上。我已经安装了整个SDK，所以我不知道是否单单提供adb工具就可以完成。你可以试试，这边是下载adb工具的链接。

第二部是通过该链接获得G1手机的USB驱动。将它解压到任何目录下，比方说C盘根目录下（C:\android_usb_windows)。

在连接G1和你的电脑之前，你还要修改一些设置
选中

Application setting -> Development -> USB debugging

和

Application setting -> Unkown sources

然后取消

SD card & phone storage -> Use for USB stroage

修改完之后，你就可以通过USB将G1连接到你的电脑上。连上之后，会出现“发现新硬件"的对话框，你只要指定USB驱动程序的位置即可（C:\android_usb_windows)。这个过程可能会花一点时间...

当你看到成功安装HTC G1硬件对话框后，你就可以通过以下命令安装

adb install c:\com.netdragon.pandareader_signed_1.apk

Another Mobile Browser - Mozilla Fennec - under Alpha Testing

After Opera, Safari, IE Mobile, Chrome Mobile, we are welcoming another mobile browsers: Mozilla Fennec. Currently, it is still under alpha testing. Anyone are welcome to alpha test it. If you don't own a N810 Internet Tablets, you can still try it out on your desktop.

• Windows
  
• Mac OS X
  
• Linux
  

I am more intested when this will go to Android OS powered phones like G1 and PSP, but there is no luck in the near future, because Fennec is not written in Java and Android does not support applications that run directly on the operating system itself without the need to be written in Java. I am hoping that Google will do the right thing and make a deal with Mozilla so that we can have Fennec soon on G1.

Here is the brief feature list and working UI for Fennec.

My New Google Android G1 Phone

I just got the Android G1 phone from EBay, and the phone looks awesome. At the beginning, I opened the back cover with caution, and now I can open the back cover very quickly.

After begging for an activated TMobile SIM from one of my collegues, I was able to set up my G1 phone. After setting up the phone, I replaced the SIM with the unactivated TMobile SIM card coming with the phone, and I was able to use the Wi-Fi connection. So far, I only experienced G1 applications using Wi-Fi connections.

The browser on G1 is really amazing, and it renders a lot of pages that can't be loaded into the browser that is built into the BlackBerry.

There are several issues that concerns me:

• I got a Bronze one and it is a little bit difficult to see the letter once the bakc light is on. So far, this is ok for me.


• the GPS is not working very well. It is not very acurate and sometimes, it doesn't work


• I can't manage to install G1 applications from Android Market. This really bothers me, because I am eager to try those applications.

...

UPDATE: I was able to install G1 application from Android Market using Wi-Fi. I guess during the time when I tested, the network is not quite stable.

I think a log of people who bought their G1 phone from EBay would love to unlock their new baby so that they can use G1 phone in different network. Here is the Unlock T-Mobile G1 Phone Site that provides you the unlock code based on your phone's serial number. Unfortunately, you have to pay $24 for the service, but it worths a try.

Web on PSP

Here are several article discussing the web development for PSP
Web design for the Sony PSP
What Browser Does the SONY PSP Use?

The big issue with the browser on PSP is lacking support of DOM and AJAX. For example, it doesn't support innerHTML or document.createElement/document.appendChild. The only thing it supports is document.write. There is no support of XMLHttpRequest object either. It only supports flash 6, which is also disappointing.
