Android Apps
We’re still months away from being able to purchase and Android phone, however, there are already great applications being made for the platform. If you remember, Android is the open source operating system created by Google to run on mobile phones. It provides the tools and infrastructure for anyone to create an application.
Google created a contest with a total of 10 million dollars in rewards for the best applications created for Android. Recently, the top 50 have been released.
The application that I think seems the most promising and useful is Android Scan. With this application, you can take a picture of a bar code with your phone and Android Scan will search online for reviews and prices of the product that you’re looking at.
There isn’t even a single phone available that runs Android. However, this one application has the potential to completely disrupt the way people shop. So far there are already 17,000 applications made for Android.
2009 is going to be a really interesting year.
Perpetually yours,
Jason
