Android is maturing, both for developers and consumers. Will it dominate the mobile market? 2010 may bring the answer. Two years ago I began writing a book about writing applications for Android. Back then, most people had not heard of Android — in fact, unless you’re a phone-geek or a Linux fan, you may still not have heard of Android. When asked to describe my project, I simply described it as a book for folks like me who want to write software for the “Google Phone”. Of course, a “Google Phone” really didn’t exist at the time. But now, as 2010 approaches, rumors abound about the new phone built just for Google, named the “Nexus One”.
