Task Manager 1.10.9 (Android)
Android is great. The most of applications are free and are improving themselves. For example, yesterday, I got the latest of Task Manager 1.10.9. I got it has a battery indicator. I love it, it tells me the percentage of remaining battery!
Most of new computers are still with Windows Vista, not Windows 7
I had a look on Officeworks yesterday. I found nearly all new computers are still pre-installed with Windows Vista, not Windows 7. That sounds only Dell is selling new computers with Windows 7, but I saw all demo computers in Officeworks yesterday are still with Windows Vista.
Android phone can be a pedometer
The most of your guys know Android can be a phone, but it can be a pedometer too. There is an apps, calls "Pedometer" in the Android Market for this purpose. I think it used the accelerometer in the phone to sense the motion.
I used that to track the calories I burned when I walked from my office to Brisbane City(I am driving to work every day now.). I am not sure the accuracy of this apps, at least it can give me a rough ideal about the amount of engry I burned.
Gestures Tutorial
I read a blog post from Android Developers Blog. There are a step-by-step tutorial for Gestures API. Finally, I got a more clear picture. Those gestures are to control the action of applications, like a shortcut. For example, you can write a circle on a screen, that means "Open a new file".

Dell 11 Z series.
I found Dell 11 Z series is available in Australia. That looks a CULV laptop, but it got an Intel Pentium Dual Core SU 4100 CPU, rather than a Duo Solo. That sounds more powerful than there. Moreover, the sepcifications are included 2GB and 250GB Hard disk, that sounds a full-scale notebook. I can say that is a thin laptop without DVD-Rom.
