The really nice thing about Android for developers is that it is backed by Google, a very well-funded, tech-smart company that is determined to win the mobile computing field.

Two interesting articles have been posted on the Google Android phones and ecosystem. The first is that there is supposed to be at least 18 different Android phones available by the end of the year. The second is that there is already 5000 apps on the Android Market. It is no where near the 50K apps on the iPhone store, but it is much better for developers who want their apps to be easily found.

For those newbie Android developers out there, just check out an earlier blog post on this site to learn about Android. And if you are in Silicon Valley on a Wednesday night, be sure to stop by the Informal Android Developer Meetup sponsored by Geogad.
