Android is a Operating System for Mobile which is based on the modified version of Linux Kernal. Initially released on October 2008.

It’s been few weeks since I got my first Android Phone. (HTC Desire HD), which I liked very much, including the OS. Desire HD comes with Android 2.2.

Since I saw a Netbook with Android, I wanted to try out Android on PC, Virtually. I was able to grab a generic release from Android x86. There are also special versions for ASUS EE PC and other Netbooks. There are Acer Netbooks which comes with Android as well, I’ve seen some from Acer Aspire One Series.

I tried Android x86 2.2 on a Windows Platform with VMWare. The following are some of the screenshots from my experiment. It’s fun and worth trying, If you are a geek.

Skype announced that It’s developing a “Open Source” version of Skype on Linux.

Customers has expressed concerns in comments saying the Skype’s Internet Protocol software might remain closed.

Skype didn’t announce a date, however they said Open Source version will be available in a nearest future. But users are asking the company to name a date on their blog.

There is a plane to remove GIMP; the GNU Image Manipulation Tool from the default UBUNTU installation. The GIMP developers, who have expressed their view on this subjects seems to agree with Ubuntu’s plane.

Reasons for removing GIMP:

• Lengthy startup time due to large collection of plugins.
• Complicated for new users due to It’s rich features.
• Uses lots of disk spaces. Ubuntu ships a CD with limited space.
• Unsuitable as a default component of a mainstreme operating system.

My Opinion: Ubuntu may replace GIMP with a simple image manipulation tool.

Don’t get excited, stable version isn’t released yet. Google says an early developer channel version is available, but don’t download it unless your a developer. More info on Google.
