ARM will demonstrate&#160;Google&#39;s Android&#160;on an early prototype device at&#160;Mobile World Congress&#160;in Barcelona next week, one of several demonstrations of the mobile platform that will occur at the conference, Google said Thursday.ARM spokesman Stuart Gill confirmed in an interview that ARM would be conducting the demonstration of the Android platform, but refused to elaborate.&quot;ARM will be demonstrating Android on an early prototype device to show how the platform works on their processor,&quot; Google spokesman Barry Schnitt said in an e-mail. &quot;There are a number of other companies that will be demonstrating Android on their hardware in various forms at Mobile World Congress.&quot; He would not name the others, however.Schnitt added that Google was &quot;very excited about the momentum building behind the platform as demonstrated by the number of companies that are supporting it with their technology.&quot;Google also released&#160;a link to a video&#160;showing the early prototype device.It is logical for ARM to be developing in the Android area, since it designs Linux-based CPUs for mobile phones, as well as CPUs based on other types of operating systems. ARM is the predominant CPU platform for mobile phones globally, said Jack Gold, an analyst at J. Gold Associates in Northboro, Mass.Since ARM is already building with Linux, it would not be difficult for the company to put Android on top of the Linux in a phone, Gold said. He said ARM might be doing the Android development on behalf of another company, perhaps a device manufacturer.ARM, however, is not listed as one of the founders of the&#160;Open Handset Alliance,&#160;which was led by Google and includes more than 30 companies.Gold said he would expect several manufacturers to show prototypes of phones or handheld devices in Barcelona, either in private suites or on the show floor. Motorola, HTC, LG Electronics, Motorola, and Samsung Electronics all make phones and are part of the OHA, he noted.HTC and T-Mobile also are planning to offer phones based on open-source Android this year, the companies have said.For Gold and others, the real question is not whether companies can show off products, but whether they will work. &quot;Anybody can show a phone, but how rock solid will it be?&quot; he asked. He expects demonstrations by half a dozen companies of Android devices before July, with phones shipping by year end.A report that surfaced earlier this said&#160;Dell and Google would also show an Android phone&#160;in Barcelona next week. But that report was quickly&#160;refuted by bloggers&#160;and others.One industry insider, who asked not to be identified, said it was unlikely Dell would produce an Android phone partly because it is not in the OHA. But neither is ARM and could be working from the Android developer&#39;s kit, or with another vendor, the analyst noted.Computerworld is an InfoWorld affiliate.&#160;

(InfoWorld) - The Demofall show has never had quite the cache of the bigger Demo conference, but itâs still a fun time, as startups from across the tech sector give their patented six-minute pitches for why their companyâs product will change the world. This yearâs show will feature 66 companies, with products ranging from core infrastructure to enterprise middleware, security, and mobile and wireless services, said Chris Shipley, executive producer of Demo. âItâs a wide-angle lens of what the marketplace is doing now,â she said. Java will be the thread that ties many of the Demo companies together. About 50 percent of vendors involved are offering products based on the platform, Shipley said. Platform considerations aside, there are a few companies in the âthatâs just coolâ category this year. Among them is BuzzLogicâs eponymous technology for performing business intelligence in the blogosphere. BuzzLogic gauges what is being said about a specific product, Shipley said. Topping the âgee-whizâ category is stealth-mode startup Ringcube Technologies, which will demonstrate its MojoPac virtualization and encapsulation software that allows you to run Windows 2000, XP, or Vista from any USB 2.0-compliant storage device. Simply plug your device into a host computer, and your desktop appears, applications and file system included, with no client to install and no files left behind. Translation: Your iPod is now your desktop. Jajah, meanwhile, is offering J2ME (Java 2 Mobile Edition) technology that uses VoIP messaging to circumvent long-distance calling charges from cell phones. With everyone trying to muscle in on Appleâs iTunes monopoly, Zing Systems and Sirius Satellite Radio are getting together to create an end-to-end service for music downloads, Shipley said. Also featured at the show is a keynote presentation on future technologies by John Patrick, president of the Altitude consultancy and a former IBM executive, who is expected to discuss mobility and applied nanotechnology.
