The Android Platform is the first mobile platform that promises to allow 3rd Party Applications a equal footing to bundled applications. The story so far is that Mobile Device Makers have always restricted the capability for 3rd Party to develop innovative applications by restricting the access to hardware features of the phone. For eg. Using Symbian and J2ME as a ploy, Nokia had restricted market all the good applications to itself.
As a frustrated Mobile Developer, I welcome Android with Open Arms.
Here is the feature list from Android :
1. All applications are created equal
2. Breaking down application boundaries
3. Fast & easy application development
These features would cut through Nokia's World Domination Plan of providing content, games and other software services. It also threatens the power of Mobile Network Operators significantly and reduce them to be just Mobile ISPs.
