1788? This brings some questions to mind. Does this number validate the platform? Frankly, I am happy with the number and would been more happy with larger numbers. Look at the end game. If only 25 guys got out and developed applications would Android have a chance? What would google think? 25k is a drop in the bucket with a large user base to buy your app for $5 or what ever your model might be. Users will come over to the platform if there are cool apps to run and the phone is cool.
