My questions about Android:

1. Is it really that much of a big deal?
2. Does the average end user actually care or understand?
3. Will it cure poverty, illness and hunger?

The answers as I see them:

1. Not till the repercussions of it have kicked in and every other phone OS has integrated the bits they can without stepping on toes. Like Apple kicked everyone into touch.
2. No, ask the standard bloke on the street who’s not a geek, gadget freak or CrackBerry addict about his mobile and he’ll say he uses it to call, sometimes text, sometimes look at tits or gamble. He isn’t going to get it, his grandchildren won’t care but will take today’s greatest technology for granted tomorrow. Ask a woman what she wants in her mobile and it would be a mirror. Hardly high tech.
3. Not even with the wealth they’ve got. We need famine and pestilence to cull some of the idiots on the planet, there’s simply not the room or resources for us all!

How is the average Joe or Jane in the street really going to benefit from Android?

Someone at T-Mobile or Google please send me a gadget to enlighten my ignorance…

And if it can do that it really is a gold plated miracle and would earn my approval!

I’m recruiting, in a nutshell I’ve more ideas and creativity than time and need to farm out some smaller jobs to make sure they get done, otherwise they’re likely to sit on my ideas list for ever.

As it stands there’s a long list of projects, all one, two or three day jobs.

I’m looking for someone who’s savvy with PHP, MySQL, XHTML and CSS. Mobile web experience and an understanding of small screen sites would be an advantage but not essential.

I will need two references and I will be doing background checks on applicants.

Non-disclosure and non-compete contracts will need signing.

Please email your CV, details of projects you’ve worked on, some code samples and sell yourself to me.
