Googles gift – a Droid phone for every attendee at Google I/O 2010
It’s been a busy week as usual this time of year, but right in the middle of the week appeared my very own shiny Droid phone. I’m still just a little in awe that Google has offered a new Android based phone to everyone at the conference. Wow, what an impressive display of financial clout. I feel it is a smart move – to get the people that obviously care most about what Google is doing to get interested in building Android apps.
I’m very interested in any announcements that might be made at the conference. I feel relatively confident that Google is working on a tablet to compete with iPad as predicted in this blog in January. (Oh, that was my last post. Like I said it is very busy this time of year!)
Will they follow Apple’s move and push a table based on Android? Seems like a plausible move. With the wood they have behind Android application development, this seems the logical course.
I can’t wait to build an app for this phone. Yep, tech bribery works. Good job Google.
