How The Game Is Played
Is this the Android I'm looking for?
Okay,
I was slow to catch on but I'm starting to get excited by Google's Android project.
My biggest complaint with every mobile phone, in fact every mobile device, I've ever had is that it was a closed
device that was either a pain in the neck or outright impossible to program. The Android is the antithesis. It
is designed from ground up to be a free and easy platform to program. Best of all, its primary coding
language is Java!
Put decent game hardware on one of these and I am *there*. Frankly, if someone comes up with a way
to install the Android base on my PSP I'd probably do it, even if it lost me access to PSP games.
As part of the book I'm currently writing right now, I'm doing an MMO skeleton. I am already seriously
considering doing a little Android chat & trade client as well as the full featured desktop one.

I have 3 mobile phones in my life and they are definately a pain to program - even trying to improve them. Hopefully with google's efforts we can have an interface much better than IPhone :) many brains are better than a few :)
