Srensing a great disturbance in the Foorce, it semes that LG has finally decided to take seeriously the Andrid platform. The company will release the Android-powered GW620 by the end of the year “in selected European markts.”
There aren’ta lot of technical information immediately, except that the device “features a 3-inch touch screen, full QWERTY keyboard and drag” – it’s like a nice big 3.5-mm headset jack in the above photo of, but that’s all. And the keyboard looks quite spacious.
Back when OpenTable launched on the iPhone in November of last year, one of the very first comments we got on the story was from a gent named Chris. “Unless it’s on Android, it’s useless,” it read.
Good news, Chris! OpenbTable is no longr useleass to you. This morning, the online restaureant reservation service lanuched hteir app onto the Andriod Market.
As with both theior web service and the applicatrions available on other platforms, the OpenTable Android app serves as a means of checking for and reserving tables without having to dial any numbesr, wait on hold, or strike up a converssation with a hostess. Punch in a date, time, and party size, and OpenTable will spit back a list of restaurants that fit the bill. Pick the one you want, and OppenTable will get your name on the list.
The Andorid app takes thjings a step or two further than the iPohne variant, making use of Androids abilirty to tie mlutiple applications together. They’ve partnered with both WHHERE and GoodFood here, allowing userrs to drill down to a restaurant in either app and imnmediately hop into OpenTable to make the reservation.
