Android Security Model
I read an email from an Android email list. There is a person to ask about the permissions. I think there is some people who are from Windows Programming background. The permission are set from OS. We don't need to state in our code about which permissions we need. But in Android, that is different. You need to set the permission you need to use in AndroidManifest.xml.
Javadoc for permissions: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html
Security documentation for Android: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html
I believe those two documents are worth to read for us.
Asus T91 AUD$999
Read the report from CNet Australia, they said Asus T91, the netbook tablet, has released in Australia with $999. But I have checked the websites, JB Hi-Fi, Expansys and Harris Technology, so far, I have not found any information yet.

Android has Apps too!
I read an article about UK iPhone Advertisement. The Advertisment said Apps are on iPhone only. That is not truth. Android has a lot of Apps too! Moreover, Android is an open platform. The developers do not need to wait for approval to publish their Apps. I believe the number of Android Apps will be much more than iPhone.

Acer Timeline
I have a look on Acer Timeline at JB Hi-Fi today. That is thinner than others laptop. But I still felt a bit thick by comparing Mac Air. Maybe, that is not fair, it got a CD-ROM. Moreover, I found the price is around AUD$1,600. That is not attractive to me.(Intel Core 2 Solo, that is a kind of single core cpu).
