Hebrew on Android (and other issues)

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

Here is something interesting: Cellcom sells the Motorola Milestone, which
is Android 2.1 with full hebrew support.
I don't know any people inside Motorola who did the hebrew (or perhaps it
was done by a third party?), but maybe we can convince Motorola to donate
the hebrew modifications back to the android public tree?

If someone has a contact in Motorola which relates to Android development,
please send his contact details to me off the list. I'll email this guy :)

Thanks,
Hetz
