Late Last Year, Google Overtook Apple In WebKit Code Commits

Today, the blog Chromium Notes, which is written by a developer who works on the open source project (that Google Chrome is built on top of), posted a very interesting graph: one that shows the number of code commits to WebKit. Notably, it appears that Google has overtaken Apple as the organization that contributes the most commits to the open source project. Now, the author is quick to point out the caveats of the graph (and does so for four paragraphs), and notes that he was hesitant to even publish it because of how easy it is to misinterpret. The graph, while it shows commits, doesn’t weigh more important ones versus less important ones. Nor does it in any way measure the ways in which companies or individuals contribute to WebKit in other meaningful ways. That said, it does clearly show that in late 2009, Google surpassed Apple as the company that now contributes the most (again, in terms of commits) to the project.WebKit is the open source web browser engine that both Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome browsers (among others) are built on top of. As such, it should be obvious why both are so heavily involved in the project (others on the graph include Nokia and BlackBerry maker RIM). The graph ranges from 2007 to the present. According to it, on November 15, 2009 Google surpassed Apple in number of commits for the first time. Google has been ahead ever since, and the gap between the two appears to be growing. That said, the two big spikes for Apple came during major releases of Safari, so when Apple releases another version, it could spike up ahead of Google once again.I’ve included a picture of the graph below (Apple is the blue line, Google is green, “Other” is purple, Nokia is gold, and RIM is light blue). But be sure to check it out on Chromium Notes’ site as you can drill-down to see more detail there. The author has also posted the code for the graph on github.

Linus Torvalds: Google’s Nexus One First Mobile Phone I Don’t Hate

Linus Torvalds, the inventor of the Linux kernel, has an absolute disdain for mobile phones. All of the ones he has purchased in the past, the man writes on his personal blog, ended up being “mostly used for playing Galaga and Solitaire on long flights” even though they were naturally all phones run on open source operating systems.Things have changed now, he adds, now that he has caved and bought Google’s Nexus One a couple of days ago. Torvalds has owned a number of phones before, including Google’s G1 device and ‘one of the early China-only Motorola Linux phones’, but it took for Google to add multi-touch capabilities to the Nexus One before he finally broke down and bought one from the company’s web store.

Google working on smartphone software to automatically translate foreign languages into your native tongue

Check your calendar, friends, for the first time in a long time I was just wowed by a tech story. Google says it’s working on smartphone software that would automatically translate foreign languages into your native tongue. So, if you’re talking to your Venezuelan pen pal, and he says, “No me gusta el fútbol americano,” you can react in horror as you try to explain to him the importance of a game where more time is spent setting up plays than actually executing them is the greatest sport in the world. Porqueria. If all goes according to plan, the software could be ready in just a “couple” of years, which is to say Google has no idea when it’ll be ready for public consumption. You’ll recall that Google already has a fairly robust translation software suite, and it’s totally free. It’s not entirely machine translation, though, which is generally rubbish, since people can help contribute with certain words and phrases that might not mean what the literal definition suggests.Like, I just used the word “rubbish” to mean that machine translation is not always very accurate, not that it’s refuse. All part of Google’s plan to ensure that humanity is fully dependent on its services, I suppose. Here’s a tip: learn Spanish or French or Italian in high school, and you can pretty easily pick up any other romance language with not too much effort. Spanish and Italian and Portuguese are pretty much “mods,” to use a PC game word, of Latin, so it all works out.

The Cliq XT/Quench drops, brings Android 1.5 in tow

Motorola is keeping the Android party rocking with the Cliq XT — or Quench in Euroland. The handset doesn’t bring anything we haven’t seen before including the aging Android 1.5 release along with Motorola’s social media-centric MOTOBLUR home screen replacement. A respectable 3.1-inch 320 x 480 occupies the front, while a 5.0 MP cam with LED flash is housed on the backside. Wi-Fi, HSDPA, A-GPS rounds out the rest of the notable specs on the otherwise boring phone. In all, the Cliq XT seems like a poor successor to the Cliq. It’s not that the hardware is lacking, but the XT doesn’t take advantage of any improvements to Android as they share the same 1.5 release. The upcoming Verizon-bound Devour also uses the 10-months old Cupcake 1.5 release. Motorola is clearly committed to Android — which is awesome — but hopefully future plans include releasing handsets with the latest Android updates. That’s the whole point of Android after all.

Lumigon T1, S1 and E1 packs Android into some gorgeous hardware

Hardware specs and software and application support are probably the biggest things we look at when deciding on a new phone, but sometimes we quickly dismiss design and aesthetics. Now we can have a generous serving of both thanks to Scandanavian manufacturer Lumigon. These new handsets are part of the growing adoption of Android, which is always a good thing. The very capable operating system looks like it’s on equally capable hardware. Aside from sitting pretty, the T1 and S1 from Lumigon offer a touch screen that slides open to reveal your basic T9 keyboard. They’re running Android 2.1, support 720p video with HDMI out, FM tuner and can double as universal remotes. The T1 will become availble early in the second quarter while the S1 will probably peek its head some time toward the end of that quarter. Lumigon’s E1 is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle shrouded in mystery. It has yet to strut its stuff for the camera and Lumigon founder Lars Gravesen says, “E1 is the most beautiful phone I have ever seen during my entire 10 year career in mobile business.” Way to tease us, Lars. While I’m going to keep a skeptical eyebrow raised, I’m certainly eager to see what the E1 is all about.

Acer is blowing up with neoTouch and beTouch, more Android and Windows on the way

Acer isn’t showing any signs of slowing down at Mobile World Congress this week. Just this morning, the manufacturer announced the Liquid e and now we have the neoTouch and beTouch. A little strange with the name scheme, but let’s see just what these devices are packing, shall we. Acer’s neoTouch P300, which has a 3.2? touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard, and P400 are running Windows Mobile 6.5.3, the stepping-stone OS between 6.5 and 7. With Windows Phone 7 coming later this year, it’s hard to see why one would choose the P300 or P400 over the latest and greatest. Perhaps it could just be a matter of patience.
If Windows Mobile isn’t your thing, the beTouch series are running Android. The beTouch E110 is dragging Android Cupcake (1.5) along – an odd, bare-bones choice given what’s already out there for Android. It’s also sporting a small, 2.8? QVGA touch screen which tells me that this is more of a minor step up from a feature phone. Acer’s beTouch E400 has a 3.2? HVGA touch screen, a little nicer than the E110, and is dressed in Android Eclair or 2.1.Having more options is always nice, but Acer really could have stepped things up a little more for its latest crop. We’ll see if it has any tricks left in its sleeve for MWC.

SK Telecom stuffs Android, CPU, and memory into a SIM card

Think about the size of an SD card. What things could you design in that amount of space? I think I might be able to build a stick figure out of tooth picks in a space that size. It probably wouldn’t even be very good. Perhaps just to show that they can (or perhaps because they just have extra money to throw around after getting rid of Helio) SK Telecom has gone and stuffed Android and just about everything needed to run it down into a SIM card. SK’s Android SIM packs a CPU, system memory, and 1 gigabyte of flash storage inside – in other words, it’s more or less everything but the display and input device. Now, what exactly does that mean to you and I? Not a whole lot, at this point. It’s just a prototype for now, and they don’t have any immediate plans to bring it to the market. If they do bring it to the market, however, it could work out to some pretty cool stuff; you could pop your SIM from one device to another (like from your phone to a tablet, or a netbook for example) and bring everything from the OS, to the settings, to all of your files with it. Of course, there are about a dozen ways to do that without stuffing everything onto the SIM (like syncing everything to the cloud, for example), which is presumably a big part of the reason why this is solely conceptual. SK Telecom is considering making themed versions of the chips (such as Android installs pre-loaded with wallpapers and media for sports teams) which carriers could sell to the consumers in place of pre-flashed handsets.
