A Fortune Magazine article looks at hand-held computing's most beleaguered major player and wonders whether it wouldn't be better off hitching its wagon to Google's coat-tails and adopting Android. After shunting aside its own, old-and-creaky OS in favor of Microsoft's it's been hanging its hopes on a long-awaited new Linux-based OS. Android may be Palm's best bet to avoid stemming its inexorable slide into irrelevance.

OpenBinder is completely broken in Android as far as I'm concerned. Several defining features of OpenBinder (such as the object lifetime rules) have been subverted to fit it in with Androids bizarre memory management.
The OpenBinder docs have been moved to open-binder.org, and you may have to convert a few links there which still point to the old openbinder.org site to get to the right page. So don't just take my word for it, compare what's described there to how OpenBinder is actually implemented in Android, and make up your own mind.
