Android 2.2 (Froyo) features It sounds like a beta version of Android 2.2 (Froyo) is out in the wild for testing -- and it has some interesting features that I'm sure Android users will find interesting. The new version of the operating system will be available on the Nexus One, and quite possibly Verizon phones in late May -- my guess will be on the same day as Google I/O (May 19). This version of Android will feature lots of bug fixes, as well as some great additions. The new features will include: JIT Compiler This is huge. With JIT enabled (Just-in-time compilation), applications will run a lot faster -- like 3x faster. Android phones will soon store apps on SD cards It's amazing to me that the Android OS still doesn't offer the ability for users to store applications on the SD card. In fact, I had to do a bunch of research before even writing this quick post, since I'm still in shock that the feature / ability is still not shipping, nor has an official timeline been released. With the above in mind it's with pleasure that I mention some news that came out on April 30th, and has since seen just a bit more information get added to it. It seems that after much complaining, a Google employee finally visited Issue 1151, which is related to not being able to store apps on SD cards, and changed the status to FutureRelease. In addition, san even offered up that while he's not able to comment on when the feature will ship, that it will be showing up soon enough.

More evidence links pesticides to hyperactivity (ADHD) - latimes.com A growing body of evidence is suggesting that exposure to organophosphate pesticides is a prime cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD. The findings are considered plausible to many experts because the pesticides are designed to attack the nervous systems of insects. It is not surprising, then, that they should also impinge on the nervous systems of humans who are exposed to them. Forty organophosphate pesticides are registered in the United States, with at least 73 million pounds used each year in agricultural and residential settings. ADHD is thought to affect 3% to 7% of American children, with boys affected more heavily than girls.
