Google Android Developer Contest Produces Exciting Mobile Social Apps
Posted by Nathania Johnson
Today, I viewed a document published by Google about the finalists in the Android Development contest. If you’re not familiar, Android is Google’s mobile platform that many are predicting will launch the second half of 2008 or early 2009.
I was happy to see several apps that enable social networking on phones. Many of them involve maps, so you can see where your friends are - and what they are up to at that location. It’s like a visual Twitter maps mashup.
Check the apps out for yourself here (PDF).
In all, 46 out of the 50 finalists consented to having their apps shared.
