Android is here

General - By Shourov Bhattacharya

Android is the new open development platform for mobile devices that is being promoted by Google and the Open Handset Alliance. To kickstart development and create acceptance within the developer community, Google has set up the Android Developer Challenge which will reward innovative projects with cash grants totalling $10 million.

We have downloaded the Android SDK and started testing and some non-serious development. So far so good - and it is also good to see native 3D support (although we are yet to try it). It’s also given us a chance to download and use the open-source IDE Eclipse for the first time, and to write Java code for the first time in years :)
