With the latest screw up on my HTC Magic from Rogers leaving 911 calls unavailable, Rogers disabled data on the phones until its users could patch the ROM to include the 911 fix and a little surprise.

I’ve been enjoying my HTC Magic phone powered by Android that I picked up from Rogers since early this summer. It was a tough choice for my first smart phone between Googles mobile operating system and going with an iPhone. Do I go for the proven iPhone and it’s massiveapp base or help support the open system and possibly create some apps myself.

Today Google introduced a new open source programming language called “Go” optimized for applications designed for massive scalability and multi-processor systems.
