24 hours have passed since the launch of the Android Market, the Google equivalent to Apple’s App Store. Medialets
has conducted a thorough analysis of the two store launches. The verdict: the size of Android Market pales in comparison to Apple’s store at launch, and won’t allow for paid applications until next year. But the stores are more alike than they are different, with very similar applications launching of both platforms, and an overwhelming focus on games.

So-called “white spaces” in the broadcast spectrum that will lie fallow after the DTV transition next February should not be used for a new generation of wireless devices because they will likely cause significant interference, according to the top executives from NBC Universal, Walt Disney, CBS and News Corp. said in a letter to the FCC. Respectively, Jeffrey Zucker, Robert Iger, Leslie Moonves and Peter Chernin told the commission that the matter needs additional study and peer review and should not be brought up for a vote Nov. 4, as planned.
