Well, I have had my first Android device for a few weeks now, a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1, and since then, I have only turned on my Nokia phones to retrieve some stored data, LOL. I am not Google, I am a person who uses mobile access for just about everything possible and available, and I think Android is amazing on the Galaxy S. I plan to buy the Galaxy Tab as soon as I can, which I heard was October 22nd from Samsung yesterday, at a price of around $760 USD, around the same price I paid for the Galaxy S.

The main problem I have at the moment is that I have "retired" all my XP machines and am still using OSX PPC on the desktop, so I don't have the right desktop platform to learn to develop some Android apps.

Funny, when I am on the subway, there are always people with many phones, generally over 1/2 are doing email or chatting on their mobiles. I have noticed that the iPhone users are quiet envious of my Galaxy S. The display is both bigger and brighter than iPhone.

That is cool, but more cool is that it is running a version of Linux called Android.

NAME
xgnokii - graphical interface of the gnokii telephone toolkit SYNOPSIS
xgnokii DESCRIPTION
xgnokii is a fancy graphical interface for libgnokii. It uses the settings in the [global] section of the configuration file of gnokii(1). You can assume that your phone is supported, however there are rare cases that you will get very limited functionality with xgnokii. xgnokii can save contacts in vCard format (thanks to Pavel Machek <pavel at ucw dot cz>) if you add .vcard or .gcrd extension (case sensi- tive) to the file name in the export contacts dialog. gnokii is a multiple systems tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for the mobile phones. gnokii at the beginning was designed to support Nokia phones. At the moment it supports most of the Nokia mobiles and also supports other phones that understand AT commands. DIAGNOSTICS
Various error messages are printed to STDERR when xdebug = on is set in gnokii config file BUGS
This man page is too short. See more details in gnokii man page. AUTHOR
Jan Derfinak is the author of the xgnokii. Hugh Blemings <hugh at blemings dot org> and Pavel Janik ml. <Pavel.Janik at suse dot cz> and Pawel Kot <gnokii at gmail dot com> are the authors of the gnokii tool suite.
