There were many speculations about the so-called "G-Phone" in last few months. Google finally came out of its shell and yet again proved its dominance. Every product from Google is a revolution in itself. Search engine has completely integrated in our lives, likewise its maps application and even Orkut. For this very reason, I am very excited about its products. I personally use google search a zillion times every day, chat with my friends on gtalk, interact with them via Orkut and use google maps to get my directions. Many people don't even realize that they use google so intensively for their day to day activities. I am definitely looking forward for the Google Mobile. The coolest thing about this phone is that one can write their own application and use it. If you can spend time understanding Android Platform(the Google-initiated, Linux-based open source mobile operating system) and have a programming back ground, then you are the boss of your phone. What if you don't have a programming back ground? well, there are always communities for you. Soon there will be a large Android community, who will develop many applications. Open source community is huge and for Android it is called Open Handset Alliance. And in no case this is an advertisement for Google's mobile. I know when they get to the advertisements part, trust me they will do much better than this.
Here is a sneek peek of what Android platform has to offer:
Well for those of you who are interested to develop something for Android, here is a video showing basics of Android coding. Now, here is the best part. Google announced a $10 Million developer challenge. Prize price ranges from $25000 to $275,000. According to google, the first phase of the competition runs from January 2nd through March 3rd, 2008 and the second phase will take place in the second half of 2008.
This Video below gives you a basic idea of "how to program Android". Google has already developed many API's that you can use directly. For more details please visit Android home page.
