Hey Dudes,
This may be spammy but!!! I am gonna do it anyways.
I am a man with many side projects. I helped a friend with an Android app for a contest he is doing.
He needs some votes to be chosen for the top 4 (and a shot to win some prize money). So if you all could head on over to:
http://winmoney.canpages.ca/entries/41637 it would be greatly appreciated. I know it sucks that you have to register, but I promise, if you guys help me out I will convince Ryan to do something crazy wicked for a future pedal give away!
If we win, we will be reinvesting the winnings into getting him setup as a full fledged Android App developer.
LOVE!
The Shadow Figure of Dr Scientist Sounds
PS: You only have about 12 hours to vote, which is a total drag.

I hope this wasn't rhetorical and you're not some genius Android developer...
BUTTTT... it's a type of operating system/coding I assume. The HTC phones run it and I think it's a new Unix-type hybrid like OSX.
That's my assumption anyway!

Android is an operating system from Google that is meant for Handhelds and Smartphones. It is linux based.
HTC, Sony. Motorolo, Google, Samsung, Nokia all have Android handsets.
There will be a few tablet options in the near future to battle it out with the iPad.
The beauty of the Android system , is the openness. Apple is a very closed system. If they don't want you to play in their garden, you don't get to. It gets to the point where they play big brother and babysit the end user. NO THANK YOU.
Full Disclosure: I have an iPhone. I love it and the software, but the decisions made for me by the developers of it really grind my gears.
Steve Jobs has a severe problem where he thinks he is god.

Complete egomanic! I use Apple stuff but his attitude really turns me off.

Debian ftw....
(I stopped caring about computers in 2003--when things just started to get interesting, it seems)

Totally not rhetorical, Shae, I don't know crap about computers or whatever the heck you guys are talking about here!
Androids can be pretty sad though... remember Blade Runner... *time... to die..* *wipes away a tear*
