“While the recently anointed poster child for open
mobile devices, Google Android, was practically nowhere to be found
on the show floor, the event did feature wall-to-wall exhibits from
over 1200 companies. And, here and there, you could find pockets of
either devices running open source apps or Linux environments or
vendors courting open souce developers. Let’s look at some of

Palm Pre created a lot of third-party software buzz as well as
quite a bit of excitement with their legacy emulator. Some of the
software demonstrated included Fandango movie time and ticket app,
SprintTV, and Google Maps. Pandora Internet radio application is a

current task. Another, Nascar, pulls in highlights of the Nascar
season such as videos, driver profiles and standings, and
more.”
