Android

I was introduced to the term "Android" 7 years back, when someone talked about humanoids, he watched in some Hollywood flick. I quickly Googled out and found the definition to be, "An automaton that is created from biological materials and resembles a human. Also called humanoid". It was not very interesting at that point of time. It sounded more like fiction. Sometime back, I attended a brief training on Google's Android Operating System. Those three days and afterwards, I was intrigued by it and it's likes (iOS, MeeGo etc.) and still remain so. The platform and it's likes have already proven their immense business capabilities and has certainly given rise to lot of little new things. To list a few, a new kind of economy (Economy oF App Stores), new kind of development model (Micro-application development), new kind of organisational entity (Micro-ISV) and most importantly Micro-buyers (spending not more than $5 on such purchases). This community has been started to discuss or document above mentioned little things viz. The App Store, Micro-App Development, Micro-ISV etc.
