The DIY Android kit also comes with a custom-tailored bootable Android SD card, with drivers and kernels specially designed to run Android applications on the system
The system also comes preloaded with SL4A -- a scripting language that lets programmers write GUIs in Perl, Python, and some other scripting languages, says the company.
WeTab presents the first tablet with open operating system MeeGo
Working intensively with Intel, we have developed the WeTab OS with MeeGo to meet the requirements of a tablet user in the best way possible. The tablet runs extremely fast
The Web-browser plays a special role here and is based on the free HTML rendering engine WebKit, enabling fast and unrestricted surfing enjoyment including HTML5, Adobe Flash® and Java™.
MeeGo is a Linux-based, open-source operating system intended to run on a variety of hardware platforms including smartphones, handhelds, netbooks, televisions that are connected to the Internet and passenger cars.
MeeGo is a multi-platform project and supports the X86/Intel-Atom and ARM architectures. It can be transferred to other hardware platforms at any time.
Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. The least expensive version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand, and even the pre-assembled Arduino modules cost less than $50
Cross-platform - The Arduino software runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows.
Simple, clear programming environment - The Arduino programming environment is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For teachers, it's conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students learning to program in that environment will be familiar with the look and feel of Arduino
Open source and extensible software- The Arduino software and is published as open source tools, available for extension by experienced programmers. The language can be expanded through C++ libraries, and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the leap from Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. SImilarly, you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to.
Open source and extensible hardware - The Arduino is based on Atmel's ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA168 microcontrollers. The plans for the modules are published under a Creative Commons license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own version of the module, extending it and improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users can build the breadboard version of the module in order to understand how it works and save money.
The Android 2.3 platform introduces many new and exciting features for
users and developers. This document provides a glimpse at some of the new features
and technologies in Android 2.3.
In the space of one hour, my entire digital life was destroyed. First my Google account was taken over, then deleted. Next my Twitter account was compromised, and used as a platform to broadcast racist and homophobic messages. And worst of all, my AppleID account was broken into, and my hackers used it to remotely erase all of the data on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.

Several Android developers have requested a pre-packaged and pre-formatted SD card contains the bootable Android OS, customized to run on the BeagleBoard and BeagleTouch.
The Android Boot SD card s
aves days of customization and low-level programming needed to integrate Android with the BeagleBoard platform, allowing developers to immediately run the
Android OS and focus on building applications instead.
Low-level drivers and kernels have been coded and optimized to turn the BeagleBoard and BeagleTouch into a high-performance handheld Android device.
Ideal for prototyping, the Android OS Boot SD card can easily be swapped out with the standard Liquidware BeagleBoot SD card to run Linux as needed.
The card comes standard with the Android DIY Starter Kit+ and the Android Hardware Development Kit
Specifications
Kingston 4GB SD Card
Class 4: 4MB/s minimum data transfer rate
Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) compatible
Pre-formatted to run with BeagleBoard
Boots Android directly
