The most widely deployed mobile virtualization solution
October 26, 2008
So, my earlier post on this was a little premature; anyone who has tried out the code has found out that it pretty much doesn’t work (hey I did warn you!). Now there are a range of fun reasons why this didn’t work, most of which I’ve now solved.

I was asked this question only last week, but it's a recurring one. There are actually several aspects to this question, and consequently several answers.

Usually when companies say "release 4th quarter 2008" you usually see something around January 2009, and to be honest that was when I was expecting the Android source code to finally drop. So I was a little surprised to see that the code was released early this morning.
Stay tuned, more to come as I start playing.

A big thanks to everyone who came out to meet with us at MontaVista Vision Conference and ARM DevCon.
It was great chatting with everyone who stopped by the booth and even more fun getting to know a few over you a beer at our meet-ups. Check out the photos here.

This is another frequently-asked question. I have dealt with some aspects of it in an earlier blog, but there, as in a white paper published earlier this year, the focus was on where the requirements of embedded systems are at odds with the concept of virtual machines as it has been understood for decades.
However, ...

It’s been almost two years now since I help organise and run linux.conf.au 2007, and I thought it was time to jump back into the fray again. This time I’ll not be doing something as silly as trying to organise the whole conference, but I will be running a small miniconf on the first two days of the conference. So I’d ...

Ok, so Rob McCammon and I were walking down Tauentzienstraße to get to the pub for our Meet-up and saw a sign pointed to a passageway. Figuring that this was the place, we walked in and found ourselves in an indoor mall standing in front of an alley way (of sorts) that split in several different directions. Looking ...
