WIRELESS

Now that the first Android phone has been approved by the FCC, Google figured it might be a good time to update the software development kit for the mobile OS. There were hints that this would happen earlier today, but now it is official. (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/18/in-anticipation-of-an-actual-phone-android-releases-a-new-sdk 8/18)

The pitched battle over so-called “white spaces” in the TV spectrum, which firms such as Google and Motorola want to use to build wireless networks, will come to a head next month when the FCC releases its findings on tests of “smart radios,” according to this report. The “white spaces” debate is a hot one right now because TV providers are concerned that their use would cause major interference with airwaves they’ll still be using after the DTV switch.
