<pre wrap="">There is also a talk given by Gilad Ben-Yoseff (anyone know if the
slides of the presentation are available somewhere?) and the
documentation for development is pretty good.

Hebrew support is fine, you just install the fonts and its there
(gilad also has a post about this) and someone wrote an application
called "hebkeys" that i havent tested but gives you a virtual
keyboard on screen for hebrew typing.

The fonts are on my blog <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://firstpost.org/">http://firstpost.org/</a>.<br>

Hebkeys, by Hezi Cohen, is here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.snippets.co.il/hebkey">http://code.snippets.co.il/hebkey</a><br>
and the latest pre-release version also supports the hardware keyboard
of the G1.<br>

This makes me look into direction of Android G1. It is too young to
have elaborated applications support, but it already has

Actually, the application support for Android is remarkably good for
something which is only commercially available for 6 months. For
example, I just spotted today a Home screen widget that displays
Haaretz news headlines (in Hebrew) in the Android application market
today...<br>
<br>
My bottom line would be: if X is openess of the phone stack and Y is
it's quality, then Android based phones have the highest X*Y ratio I
know...<br>
