For me it was a combination of a few things. 1) First class IDE. Android allows development and debugging in Eclipse. That is hands down better than any other mobile development environment I have seen, including iPhone. 2) Growing Market. Unlike most of the other mobile platforms (iPhone and Palm being the biggest ones in my mind) Android does not run on a proprietary device. I was excited about Android when the G1 was the only option in town, but I didn't really start putting a lot of time and energy into it until I saw that more companies were getting ready to adopt it. For the last three months I've been telling everyone to pay attention to how many Android devices were going to be out by Christmas. 3) Open Source. I love working with open source technologies, largely because if I ever need to figure something out that is not well documented (or not documented at all) I can open up the source code and see exactly what is happening. 4) Fun. I get excited working with new technology and seeing more capabilities on a phone screen than my desktop PC had when I was a kid. Just amazing technology that is a lot of fun to work with.
