Hands on using Galaxy S II!
Mozilla Foundation at the MWC 2012 showed its New Platform that called "Boot2Gecko", a cloud based open-source Mobile OS, Which is coded entirely with HTML5, CSS and Javascript.
Boot2Gecko is using the latest open web standards for its apps, which means that apps written for it will be compatible with just about any smartphone running the OS, or even every device with an HTML5-enabled browser. And do not worry even though the OS itself is cloud-based, you might still use your phone offline and even run apps and games on it offline caching is a technology already supported by the web standards.
The Mozilla team had the platform installed on a Samsung Galaxy S II and were doing all the demoes on the Samsung former flagship, but the company is actually looking to release a completely different device. Its aim is to produce an ultra-cheap smartphone, powered by a 600 MHz CPU and packing just 256MB of RAM.

Tnx developers
These geniuses are working on it. LINK
PS: You made me puke a little though
as said prior to my post, it's being worked on, though there will inevitably be some problems.
Dont forget that with the Apple community the need to unlock is much greater than here (no unlock required to access the system etc) and so you will most likely find a lack of interest by developers to add applications into this software as the Windows Mobile operating system hasn't really changed much in the sense that it has always allowed for custom apps and tweaking etc, much like Windows.
Other than that, i hope it really does do well because i think it could be a great addition if enough developers get on to it and use it :L)
In kaiser forum someone relased a ROM called T.I.R., this ROM has embedded a Pocket Download Manager that does exactly this!
Maybe someone could ask there.
Ciao, Andrea

This has been a hell of a past 3 months for Android. Google's partnership teams were busy at work all year to pull off this home run: the Hero, the Droid, and now this ereader -- with 3 different manufacturers and 2 lines of business. Hard to see MS Windows Mobile catching up to the influence of Android -- open source, widgets, app store with momentum, rapid adoption within one year's time.
In one year, MS can barely get a half-step upgrade to an OS that only remained a contender thanks to HTC and XDA devs doing the heavy lifting bringing finger-touch navigation to the obsolete tap-a-tiny-box excuse for an OS MS put forth even after iPhone changed the game.
GrilledUI is a library to implement common UIs easily. Available UI types are: tabbed UI (TabActivity), master/metail flow (SectionActivity) and their hybrid (HybridActivity). These activity classes wrap everything you need to create your UI with just a few lines of code or even load tabs/sections and instaniate fragments from XML file. HybridActivity allows you to have tabs on phones and MDF on tablets. This way you can easily make your app tablet and phone friendly without torturing phone users with multiple activities.
Library comes with JavaDocs, multiple examples, in open source form, 2-clause BSD license and pre-ICS support (!). Pre-ICS devices are supported with the help of ActionBarSherlock.
GrilledUI lives on GitHub.
A small preview of what is possible:

Custom Kernel lets your device Android operating system to act together with device hardware. Now XDA developer member “gokhanmoral” has developed an app called “ExTweaks”, it allows your Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 to view and alter some kernel functions to your own taste.
The app looks to have vast potential and offer many modifications like the option to modify aspects such as GPU frequency. However the app is still in beta stage and developer has promised to add more features and functionality soon.
To install this app, you’ll have to get a supported kernel, developer will provide the documentation to get support from kernel devs, so lets you more kernel control than you’ve used.
Since Apache Licensing offers developers the option to make their own apps based on ExTweaks, essentially any developer can join an and tweak their kernel. The app is free and available at Google Play Store here, you can also visit the original thread of XDA here.

Use your phone or tablet to study diseases, predict global warming, or discover pulsars! BOINC harnesses the unused computing power of your Android device and runs jobs for scientific research projects. You can choose from projects in several areas of science, including [email protected], World Community Grid, PrimeGrid, [email protected], [email protected], theSkyNet POGS, [email protected], and [email protected]
BOINC computes only when your device is plugged in and charged, so it won't run down your battery. It transfers data over WiFi, so it won't use up your cell phone plan's data limit.
