I have a HTC Magic Google Android phone working on the Telstra network in Australia. I bought the phone on eBay from Hong Kong and installed a ROM that added the Google features, including Android Market. I’ll write this weekend in more detail about the process (which isn’t easy). Meanwhile,…

Google has introduced a search for quotes on its news service. Apparently it’s been a Labs feature for a year, but today was the first time I had seen it linked with Google News Australia. Since Pauline Hanson is the lady of the moment, I entered her name for a…
