Teaser Site for Upcoming Toshiba Tablet ★

Whole site is made using Flash; when iOS devices load the site, they show this:

Such a shame. Add this to the list of interesting places on the Internet you can’t see on your device. Of course, if you had a Toshiba Tablet, you would enjoy the entire Internet. Yep, Flash sites too.

The most interesting thing to me is that Toshiba is another long-time Windows OEM that’s switching to Android.

Update: If you lop the “apple.html” off the end of the URL Toshiba redirects iOS browsers to, you get this nice little pure HTML mobile site.

Eric Schmidt, in Control ★

Eric Schmidt, back in October 2009:

One day Larry and Sergey bought Android, and I didn’t even notice. Think about the strategic opportunities that has created. Sergey found Google Earth one day while he was surfing on the Web. And then he walked into my office and told me he bought them. And I said, “For how much, Sergey?” And it turned out to be a few million.
