Software keyboards on mobile phones are a HUGE issue when you talk about the usability of the product. There are a TON of different elements that make up the overall user experience and these are often boiled down to a “I love it” or an “It sucks” with little physical evidence to prove the opinion. And to be honest, a lot of it is a matter of preference. But Lukas Mathis from IgnoreTheCode.net did a much more thorough review in an article titled “Virtual Keyboards on iPhone and Android” that deserves a close look.

Android is turning out to be a popular OS for more than just smartphones. Some computer makers still have Android-powered netbooks coming and MIDs are starting to surface with the OS. As Android grows in popularity, I am sure we will see it turn up on more and more devices.

The latest MID to get Android is from Eston and it is called the MID-02 Slider. The device will be offered on French carrier SFR and is a rebadged Compaq P8860.

Under the cover is an Intel Atom Z500 at 800MHz, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of SSD storage and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The device sports a 4.3-inch touchscreen. Apparently, the official release details are unknown and the Android MID can only be purchased in bulk right now.

BusinessWeek interviewed Eric Schmidt of Google and here is what he said about Android.

How about Android? What’s the strategy going forward?
“Android is many things. First, it’s an operating system for a mobile phone. It’s particularly powerful because of the way it was built. The software is free, you can extend it, you’re not locked into any applications vendor or any network. What we like about Android is its perfect expression of openness. A next generation of [Android-based] phones will be coming out in the fall. They won’t necessarily displace other [phones] because they’re also doing well. But we will have a significant bet in mobile phones. So from our perspective it looks like Android is going to be a success.”

Jason Calacanis writes a long but thoughtful article on why he is done with Apple and their monopolistic practices. He’s not alone as many other devoted iPhone users are speaking out as well like Michael Arrington of TechCrunch and Peter Rojas of GDGT.com and the founder of Engadget.

Summary: About six years and $20,000 ago, I made the switch to Apple products after a 20-year love affair with Microsoft. That love affair started with the humble PCjr and ended with an IBM ThinkPad. From DOS to the first version of Windows (the run-time version that only loaded one program), and on to Windows 95 and XP, I dealt with the viruses, driver incompatibilities and other assorted quirks of Microsoft’s wildly open ecosystem.

The Love Affair Ends
