Google is calling all G1 Developers to it's table

Google, by way of Reuters, is reported to be calling all developers to the table next week, and allowing them the ability to publish applications in its store for the G1 and it's Android phones.

Last week Microsoft announced its foray into the highly dominated smart phone market. Each company hopes to gain some market share away from the iPhone and Apple, by increasing the product offerings in the way of applications through their online stores.

Non Coco developers should be excited about the ability to publish java developed application for the G1. The iPhone development is limited to the Mac OS-X and develop using the Coco language, where the android sdk, is Java based libraries. With the recent success of independent developers stricking gold on iTunes. Some are probably hoping to duplicate some success with Google and Android.

Android OS phones by Ericsson - look like Blackberry

The open source operating system, with browser capabilities, maps, email etc.. well is google. Gmail, Google maps.. and of course the homepage on the browser is google.

The Android operating system is hoped to help further the development of phone applications through it's open source concept. Can wait to see what web 2.0 mashup people come up with to use on the android phones... maybe it will clean my house and cook me dinner.. it is an android right?

Iphone oh! Iphone be my Andriod!

So the iPhone may need to hurry up on its SDK release. Google has just shown off Google Andriod Open Source. It’s promising to provide an open SDK for phone software development. This is exactly what iPhone developers have been chomping at the bit for over a year.

When the development community enquired and pleaded, Apple (AAPL) responded with Safari based development, screams of this isn’t good enough have been heard and it looks like we are getting closer to an actual SDK.
Now with development already started in the Android camp with phones coming, maybe in Q3/Q4 2008. What killer application will they have! Will the iPhone developers be ready in time, seeing they haven’t got their hands on the SDK?

Looks like a price drop is coming to sell more iPhones soon too! The more people on board isn’t it suppose to be easier to sink the ship!
