Android the next big thing in telecomm?
 

Hello everyone, being in north-america we are about 10 years behind asia when it comes to telecommunications. Android is now out and I personaly think webmasters should prepare for the upcoming massive arrival of android users.

I can't seem to find any good resources about android i'm wondering if anyone knows about an android emulator or vmware type software that I could use for testing, since android handsets aren't available yet where I live, any input is appreciated.

Feel free to say what you think the impact of android will have on the adult industry.

Agreed about Android being the next big thing. Within 16-24 months it will be ubiquitous in mobile "devices," which include more than smartphones.

Compare Google and its developer-friendly strategy to Microsoft in the 80s-- the focus is on software and choice. Compare Apple to... well... Apple in the 80s, a hardware company that made it a pain for developers outside of Apple to innovate.

Doesn't the iPhone and its restrictive market smell a little bit like Apple in the 80s? Sure, the Android Market is a little more anarchic right now, but at the end of the day, freer markets tend to make better stuff... at least that's what I'm betting on.

More like 15 years :2 cents: Too busy spending $$$ to bail out companies and make war

Yup Android phones are only going to get bigger and bigger with so many new companies jumping into them like this Motorola Cliq Android. I picked up the G1 phone last month and I'm inlove with the phone and like said above these are more than just "smart phones". People think Iphones are "the phone to have" but with the many companies jumping into Android don't be surprised if android phones don't take over in the future. Apple is limiting themselves when offering only one option when people like choices.

FACT: by 2012 android will have the market share.. apple will be #2

it amazes me how apple is repeating the mistakes of the 1980s. Jobs is a snotty control freak, & it reflects in his product.

count me in on team android.

Open software will rule proprietary software in the end. That is all.

I been using an android based phone for a few months.
Not hard to find their forums, or the developers info.

only time will tell
