It's easier than traditional j2me, I must say they did their homework after four years of development... Biggest opportunity present from a developers point of view is the activities/events interface and also the XMPP built within the model just like traditional SMS. I just hope we move away from minutes and kilodata charges so we can really levarage these innovations with the users. Another thing that the critics have been saying that I'm totally in favor of Google is the Android API's.. they are just awesome, it makes our lives easier, less coding more productivity. Hi Paul,

But given the current model of subsidizing handsets, the carriers will keep a lock on their networks as long as they can. If Android, OpenMoko or some other open-source platform creates a visibly superior product, the carriers will gradually start allowing them on their networks. That's still the slow option in my view, but still a step in the right direction. Paul Raj,

I do not think SW/RTOS/OS has been barrier. RK Paul,
