Cowon D3 might run on Android

on 04/22/2010, filed in Home > Gadgets

The Cowon D3 has yet to be announced and released to the masses, but that has not stopped it from being the subject of rumors that it is powered by the Android operating system. Whatever the case is, we do hope that the use of an Android OS on this upcoming portable media player (if proven true) would not detract from the overall user experience, as it needs to be well executed in order to prove worthy of inclusion, and not just implemented haphazardly simply because there are no license fees to fork out.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
