There’s no real market for applications written for Google’s Android cell-phone operating system, but Google’s trying hard to create an artificial one. Participants in Google’s Android Developer Challenge submitted 1,788 Android programs. Eventually Google will pay out $5 million in prizes, or about $2,800 per entry. Why not actually make a Googlephone? That seems easier. But in my opinion Google has something up their sleeves they want something built by the people for the people, so when it comes down to it, the google OS will fit everyone’s lives so much better.
