Android mobile platform

[td_ref]

Android has much bright future for Chinese market due to its openness and easy os adoption for every mobile phone maker. Iphone price stays sky high, plus many people who owns one may have no idea it might not suit them well--which local Chinese really want to stick iphone just to one computer to sync? The macintosh ideology just don't work here. Most people here owns them not to see themselves cool, but high status (a Luxury).

Android 2.2 has been serving me well, gps navigation, tracking, and all sorts of pirated app (hm....no intention to discuss copyright, hey, that was how Windows gets popular amount Chinese user."free", easy, practical). The lately released google map 5.0+, featuring map offline cache and vector base map, are nicer than ever. Some mod versions enable navigation worldwide.

I don't know anyone have found a way to navigate a pre-load route in google maps, say I have carefully planed a route from point A to B on my PC, then transfer that route to android phone. Combing 'my maps' and Maps, one can navigate a pre-set route by constantly watching the screen.Hopefully google can make this very useful feature in its navigation app soon.
