Android wins again
I expected this would start to happen, but so soon? Evidently Barnes & Noble's new eBook reader runs Android.
Think of the three biggest hits in the technology space recently: Netbooks, the iPhone, and the Kindle. It's kind of hard to compete with entrenched products like the iPhone and the Kindle. Blackberry and Palm are having trouble and Sony similarly can't seem to do much. I'm not sure what's going on with Netbooks right now.
But check it out, Android runs on all those things. Companies can now easily throw together worthy competitors with little-to-no software development cost, and get tons of extra features for free.
I'm telling you, Android is the next big target platform. Not iPhones.
