If you haven’t heard of “Android”, it is Googles mobile phone platform/OS. Although there currently are no physical android phones available on the market right now, Google does have all the stuff a developer needs in order to start making apps for the future devices. In order to entice developers (similar to what iPhone/Apple and RIM are doing) they have created the Android Developer Challenge. This “challenge” is offering up $10 million in awards for the great mobile apps built on the platform.
One of the more interesting of the entries I have seen is enkin.
It utilizes the live video, GPS, and orientation sensors in the phone and then overlays live “Tags” over 3d video. Pretty cool. I wish them luck in the challenge, and I hope to see more innovative apps like this keep coming out for smartphone devices.
