Android… Probably the most widely used and versatile operating system that exists right now. Its most obvious habitats are smartphones but their domain stretches much farther.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the show that never ends. Segway and GM team up to create a new type of vehicle. Trouble with Google Street View on two fronts. First off, Google ignores basic physics and meets a bridge. Second, the driver of a Google Street View car (you know, the one that takes all the pictures for Street View) gets mad because someone takes a picture of him. He screamed “You are stealing my soul!” Okay, he didn’t say that, but he wasn’t happy.

Looks like many are attempting to “stick it the man”. In this case, the man is car manufacturers who continued to sell and install analog OnStar units in vehicles despite being aware of an FCC ruling that would render the devices useless in the very near future (Feb 18 2008 looks to be the date analog dies). With no options for a complimentary upgrade or heck, even a paid upgrade, OnStar owners are understandably furious.

“It is outrageous”“I think this is a complete scam!”

Keynotes: part press conference part play. This years keynotes were dramatic and if there was a common theme running in them this year it is this: we are making stuff up. Not faking it, but making products, services, and plans for which there is no real, solid revenue acquisition model yet. Far from working on things that make no sense, the keynotes highlighted each companies sandbox and the possibilities our head-long leap into technology can bring us. These possibilities are not so much about a killer product, but a killer revolution, each aimed at disrupting how we live, work or play. It is an exciting time in technology.

So with that in mind, I bring you, with with the help of our on-site Gadgetell team who nobly risk their lives (or at least their circadian sleep cycle to bring you all the latest the ground from Vegas.

Here is the first shot of the Cadillac Provoq. It the first auto introduction at CES. It uses no petroleum and no emission other than water. It uses 5th generation technology, drives 300 miles on a full tank of hydrogen. It can go 100 mph and 0-60 in 8.5 seconds.

The full GM press release is below.

We are here at the General Motors keynote, the second keynote on day two of the show. The folks are starting to pile in and we will be getting started in about 25 minutes (4:30 pm pacific, 7:30 pm eastern). Last year Ford got a bunch of attention at CES, between Bill Gate’s Sync announcement and the Ford keynote. That momentum has continued into this year as more and more companies seem to be pairing up with Ford. GM is really struggling and one would expect that being offered a keynote address would come with some big announcements.
