Thanks a lot for the through response. That was very helpful!

Since you were already at Amazon, I assume you compared Firebase to AWS Lambda? Could you tell us why did you end up prefering Firebase?

I thought of doing that many times. But decided it would be better to just wait for Haswell. We're not far from an era where we have CPUs that are both powerful and mobile. Just wait for them.

Good point. Android is ahead of Web apis, and Google have been adding android apis to the Web for a while (example intents). They just need to keep doing that until there's 1:1 feature parity, so we can develop apps for either one or the other as if they were the same. And the same apps would work predictably on both.

That's a merge.

How could we compare then?

It's an i5 processor, 2 cores at 1.8ghz. New generation arm processors, for example the tegra 4, is quad core at 1.9ghz.

Wouldn't it be both more powerful and have more battery life, if it had waited for the tegra 4? Or am I missing something?

> I thought this was a board full of hackers.

Complete opposite. This board is full of people interested in startups and looking to get a better grasp of technology. But only a tiny minority here actually code, if you're looking for that you should probably try a more specific coding board or group.

Also, people around here are obsessed with, what they call "playing devil's advocate" or "offering a counter point". Which, in other parts of the planet would be called "trolling". But here that's encouraged as long as the post is well formatted enough to not immediately remind you of reddit.

Put those 2 together and it's very easy to understand the illogical negative posts on the top. It's just people trolling without technological insight. In fact, you'll hardly find any thread about a new technology on HN, which the top post isn't contrarian.

Usually I would agree. But as long as it's open source and you can install it yourself on any nexus device. Then you can solve that yourself.

You should try: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/gmail

If you click on each sub-forum, you can see from the official response icon column, on the right. That most of the threads do get an answer. That's far from non-existent. I think their big failure here, has been to poorly communicate how people can get help, most don't know about the forums.

I cannot test it myself. But there are many people in the comments saying it doesn't work on co.uk either. Maybe it was only working when the uk version was outdated.

New comment by vibrunazo in "Android SDK is now proprietary"

vibrunazo — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:47:37 +0000

We have been through this many times before here. This is meant to prevent forks that break compatibility. Like that chinese company that made their "own" phone OS. That was just a fork of Android, but not perfectly compatible with the Android SDK. It causes fragmentation in the sense that it forces developers to rewrite apps for it because there are differences in the SDK.

Amazon, Cyanogen, OUYA etc are all fine.

The official hangout about the announcement is still going on btw:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/115750270177636397262/posts/HBof...

One latest thing they just said, is that "ubuntu for phones" and "ubuntu for android" are 2 separate projects going on in parallel. So they're not abandoning ubuntu for android. Instead, they view that as a gateway to the ubuntu world, which would hopefully get more people into ubuntu for phones. As you can see, the official website still have tabs for both ubuntu for android and for phones:
