This is a Google's fishing game; they throw out 50 pieces of baits and got overwhelm response on the number of fishes from around the world. I'm sure they will get some big whale and some big shark on this game.... lol.
The fact is they just want to throw out some money to get their Android platform out there. Yes, they success on trying to get some attention on us developers and the more developers involved the more chance that there will be a good hardware vendors that willing to partnering with them. But then ask yourself this question, do you think this Android is worth it? Look back at their SDK and see it for yourself: - poor interface UI design, common admit it, look at iPhone interface and Android interface and do 1 to 1 compare. - UI designer???? Where is it???? I'm sick and tire of manually manipulate the xml layout. - so much bug, yup, some time I have to kill the adb.exe restart eclipse, -wipe, to be able to continue the development. - performing issues, yup, sometime it took more then 3+ minute for the emulator to initiate start. Which all these issues, do you think they will successful in the mobile business? Ah… And where is the hardware? Don’t tell me you will not lost any more cash building a hardware then have touch screen, accelerometer, for less than $300. Dream too much ain’t good for you … On May 4, 9:09 am, dr123 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How can the application fail when there was a hit and a user > registration? > Come on. > > On 4 Μάϊος, 13:47, Incognito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > How do you know it wasn't simply the application that failed?
