Despite earlier speculation, the rumors of a possible Android and LiMo collaboration have been quashed. Google claims that they are close to completion with their technology and any kind of input from anyone else would ruin the user experience. Thus they have no interest in LiMo.

This may prove tough for Google in the long run as they are starting to fall behind fast in the market. Despite the end of the year estimate from Android’s Eric Chu for Android’s release, LiMo might already have another round of phones on the market. This will be loss ground for Google.

What to do you think? Any preferences towards either system? Is all the Android hype worth the wait? Will the release date even effect google?

People have been speculating about news from iPhone hacker Jonathan Zdziarski that the iPhone 3G has the ability to contact Apple headquarters and communicate what kind of apps you have on your system. From that there it is believed that Apple will be able to disable those apps thus “black listing” them.

The function seems to be tucked away deep in the iPhone’s programming according to Mr. Zdziarski, the author of iPhone Open Application Development, making it more suspicious and slightly sneaky. What else do they want our phones to send them covertly?

What are you trying to hide Apple? Remember, we paid for this iPhone 3G please let us use it as we see fit.
