Developers Reported Enthusiastic About Android Platform

,----[ Quote ]
| Developers appear impressed with Android, the open-source mobile platform 
| spearheaded by Google. A demonstration of Google Maps Street View was a big 
| hit with the developers at the Google I/O conference. While Android supports 
| a touchscreen, it's not yet ready for multi-touch. But an analyst said 
| developer views don't drive success.

Well, that has just been merged into the mainline kernel (and otherwise been
available for Linux for years).

Is Google Android the Next Windows?

,----[ Quote ]
| On the flip side, Good Android (here’s a video demo) is a cross-platform
| software environment that multiple hardware vendors and service providers are
| expected to embrace. Although Android isn’t fully baked, Google is
| aggressively promoting the operating environment to third party developers.
| The idea is to get developers on board early, so that tons of Android
| applications are ready when Android-compatible devices finally debut.

| Eventually, The VAR Guy suspects, Android devices will easily leapfrog
| iPhone’s market share. But that’s not a terrible thing for Apple. Although
| Apple nearly died on the desktop, Apple’s more recent innovations prove that
| you can thrive even when you hold less than 10 percent of a technology
| market.
