Why does Linus Torvalds, leader of the Linux kernel programming project love Nexus One?
According to him, he always think that phones are so irritating and it is only a gadget that is very disturbing. Torvalds said in a blog post. "But I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner."
What are the features that won him over?
He said "I've wanted to have a GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought that Google navigation might finally make a phone useful," Torvalds said. "And it does. What a difference!
I no longer feel like I'm dragging a phone with me 'just in case' I would need to get in touch with somebody--now I'm having a useful gadget instead. The fact that you can use it as a phone, too, is kind of secondary."
Google’s Android run on Java like layer atop, Google’s Dalvik virtual machine and accompanying software libraries.
More recently, though, Google issued a Native Development Kit for software that runs directly on the phone's Linux operating system. Through that technology, Mozilla is working on a version of Firefox for Android.
