Design Behind Android Renderscript .. Renderscript Part 2

Android Renderscript Continued.. http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
If you were interested in the earlier article about the native Android Renderscript API, introduced to us by Google engineer, Jason Sams, you will be delighted to know that Jason has followed up with even better part two of the subject loaded with theories and examples.
The new article focuses on how the Renderscript was designed, Portability, Performance and Usability were the main objectives. Jason explains why C99 was selected as the base for the Renderscript and how 'compute' offloading of data processing from Dalvik code to Renderscript code.
I have not tried the examples yet but I will do as soon as I find some time, just to understand the graphics processing with Renderscript.

Android Support Team In China!

Republic of China that is or otherwise known as Thaiwan, according to Google. The China Android Team is being established to support equipment manufacturers related to the Android based phones but there were rumors that they were helping the netbooks based on Android but Google has denied it.
"Android is a free, open-source mobile platform. This means that anyone can take the Android platform and add code or download it to create a mobile device without restrictions," Google said in a statement. "It was designed from the beginning to scale downward to feature phones and upward to MID (mobile Internet devices) and netbook-style devices. We look forward to seeing what contributions are made and how an open platform spurs innovation, but we have nothing to announce at this time."
But I am sure we all need to look into Dalvik, if we are going to mess around with Android OS. Perhaps that is where the support is most needed.
