Google Unveils Android and the Open Handset Alliance

The news about Google's unveiling of Android (an open mobile platform), and the announcement of Open Handset Alliance is spreading like wildfires.

This initiative by Google to create a mobile platform that will work on various devices will benefit the consumer. Open is freedom and freedom is always most of the time good :D

Android's Software Development Kit (SDK) will be made available on November 12.

In the coming months, I expect Google to announce their very own Google mobile phone or GPhone.

Samsung D900 GPRS Modem Configuration

Can someone help me to configure Samsung D900 as GPRS modem using Globe or Smart? I'm always getting a PPP error. I'm not sure if this is a unit problem or because Samsung is not yet supported by these telcos.
