Google Android browser to have Gears syncing/geolocation

androidguys.com — Hidden Google Gears options show that Android will
have big advantage over iPhone. Normal websites can leverage offline
storage, syncing, and now geolocation access.

One advantage it won't have is with Bluetooth. Looks like they're both
crippled on this regard. At least for now.

Precisely the reason to go with a controlled, but tetherable phone....and
an UNcontrolled, but tetherable computer unmolested by the data carrier
bureaucrats....

Can you imagine the response to this notice:

"From now on, only computers sold by Comcast, with Comcast monitoring
software, will be allowed on the Comcast Internet system."

There'd be riots in the streets!

Then, why is it ok if it's on a sellphone??

Larry,

If you're going to quote someone else's post, why don't you quote all of
it? Instead, you clip bits and pieces to make your pathetic points
about, about, well, hell, I'm not sure what the hell your points are
about because they don't make any f*cking sense.

Did your parents drop you on your head when you were a baby and they
blamed Steve Jobs? Or did they blame the guy that invented the cellular
phone? Is that why you've got such a hard-on to belittle and put-down
cellular phones and Apple iPhones in particular?

Lots of people buy into locked systems and do so willingly. No riots in
the streets yet.
