Android or iPhone?

Combine the two and get a linux based phone. My N900 is the best phone I've ever had.

No compass. Thats what put me HUGELY off that one.
(its crazy too, Nokia were the first to even have compass's in phones)

The rest of the N900 looks like a nice phone, and QT is pretty easy to code with too.

Anyway;

Seems its probably HTC's fault after all for the lack of some app's in the Android store;

When I install the Layer.apk manualy, then I get the following error in the Android logging:

04-12 23:27:49.147: ERROR/PackageManager(78): Package com.layar requires unavailable feature android.hardware.camera; failing!

It looks like that the package manager from the Legend does not know that he has a camera, so I think that is the reason for the announced Legend update. It is definitely not a Google problem, but a HTC problem.

if Layer (temporarily) removes the option: “Require android.hardware.camera” from the AndroidManifest.xml, then the application will work.
I tested it on my Legend, steps to do it yourself:

1) extract AndroidManifest.xml from Layar.apk with 7-zip
2) overwrite the text “android.hardware.camera” in this file with 00 with a hex-editor i.e. HxD
3) put AndroidManifest.xml back to Layar.apk with 7-zip
4) empty the folder: META-INF with 7-zip
5) re-sign the APK with Jarsigner
6) install APK on Legend
7) Enjoy Layar!

ps: when there is a update for Layar, you first must de-install your self-signed APK file..

"Gizmodo asked a body-language expert to analyze the photo of Jobs and Schmidt. The conclusion: Both men seemed uncomfortable, but Schmidt's posture was more noteworthy. As he spoke to Jobs, Google's CEO hunched his shoulders subserviently, the way criminals do when they're around the police. Schmidt, the body-language expert concluded, is scared of Jobs."
