In my last post about release of WordPress 2.5, I mention that it’s impossible for the development team to release the version on the scheduled date as there were still so many issues are not resolved.

John Havlik quite rightly points out the main reasons for delay and I could not disagree with him. There are a good number of tickets were moved to 2.6 as there was no patch or developer assigned to them.

Matt released a Screencast and WordPress 2.5 RC2 covering the new dashboard and uploader and Release Candidate 2.

Also looking at Milestone 2.5 its seems the development team decided that it would be good idea they would release 2.5 after most of us have expired by setting the due date to 22 years in future. But little clue that suggest that it may be released on the April 1st, but hey they are just playing April Fool on us all.

The Open Handset Alliance (OHA), a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies with Google at the forefront, have developed Android to become the first complete, open and free mobile platform.

The system will allow users to access core mobile device functionality through standard API calls and hopes to include such innovative features as combing information from the web with data on the phone, such as contacts or geographic location.

Google’s Android Software Developer (SDK), first released in November, is part of OHA and is based on the Linux 2.6 kernel using an operating system, middleware stack, customizable user interface and applications.

The preview version of the platform was released without real support for the hardware, while instead developers were given a software emulator based on Qemu.

Credited as one of the first developers to use Android in a hardware platform is Ben Leslie from Australia, using the Armadillo-500 from Atmark-Techno based on Freescale’s i.MX31L mobile processor.
