<tt>What: Sugar / Android<br>
<br>
</tt><tt>What is the same:<br>
<br>
</tt><tt>Application complexity: Simple (Activities) / Simple
(Activities)<br>
Data storage: Ditch filesystem (central Journal) / Ditch filesystem
(app specific SQLite storage)<br>
UI: Simple (ugly) / Simple (cool)<br>
Computer experience of target audience: Low (children) / Even lower
(stupid adults included)<br>
Application install: .xo bundle / .apk bundle<br>
Application isolation: Bitfrost / total app isolation<br>
Security: protects users from activities (because they are children) /
protects users from applications (because it can cost money to call
numbers, and users are ignorant)<br>
Programing language: High level (Python) / High level (Java)<br>
<br>
What Android does not solve:<br>
<br>
Collaboration: mostly works / Android only collaborates through the
web, probably some local Wave server should be included<br>
Write: </tt><tt>there is / </tt><tt>there is only Google Docs<br>
Read: there is / everything should be converted to html<br>
</tt><tt>Open platform: Everything modifiable inplace (just no children
do that) / Only scripting on Android<br>
Integration with XS: in process / none (that is a BIG problem)<br>
</tt><br>
<tt>What Sugar does not solve:<br>
<br>
There is no usable development environment, no documentation, few
developers. The programming environment is not discoverable by people
who are not already pro programmers in Python and Linux. Ugly, slow,
eats a ton of memory. Cannot be used by keyboard. Activities cannot
work together.<br>
<br>
See, I did not lost my mind. Merry Christmas!<br>
