When I came back to my hectic days of work after my long holiday break (hope you guys know what ”a ten day break” means to we IT people), I heard about Android, the open handset project. I have been to mobile app world for quite some time and it thrilled me a bit. I am not ready to give you my perspective on that, but can give you some good content references.

Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. This early look at the Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language.

Fierce Mobile Content - Top Mobile Apps 2007 

Fierce Mobile Content announced the Top mobile applications of 2007.

What a difference a year makes. When FierceMobileContent inaugurated its Top App Awards in the autumn of 2006, the emphasis was squarely on the entertainment and multimedia applications then revolutionizing the mobile platform. Twelve months later, mobile subscribers have evolved from consumers to prosumers, and instead of watching video clips and listening to music, they’re socializing, shopping and searching. Content consumption is out and content creation is in–after all, why watch videos when you can upload your own?
