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 <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/android\/adc.html\" target=\"_blank\">Android Developer Challenge<\/a>. This &#8220;challenge&#8221; is offering up $10 million in awards for the great mobile apps built on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more interesting of the entries I have seen is <a href=\"http:\/\/enkin.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">enkin.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" height=\"267\" width=\"400\" data=\"http:\/\/www.vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=843168&amp;server=www.vimeo.com&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=\"><\/object><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vimeo.com\/843168?pg=embed&amp;sec=843168\">Enkin<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vimeo.com\/enkin?pg=embed&amp;sec=843168\">Enkin<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com?pg=embed&amp;sec=843168\">Vimeo<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It utilizes the live video, GPS, and orientation sensors in the phone and then overlays live &#8220;Tags&#8221; over 3d video. Pretty cool.
