THE FUTURE OF MOBILE COMPUTING

摘要

When Mit Professor Hal Abelson heard that Google was about to release the software-development kit for its free, open-source Android mobile-phone operating system, he immediately decided to teach a class that would design programs for it. "Android is about to change people's experience of what they can do with computers," he says, because the computers in our cellphones will soon be the ones we use the most. These seven applications, developed by students in Abelson's class, show what Android-equipped phones will be able to do.
