Ads On Android blog

Why did 4 of the Android Developer Challenge winners stay anonymous?

Are they just that humble? Or maybe they’re keeping competitive projects under wraps? Why wouldn’t they want to share the project? Perhaps there are business implications that they are not ready to announce and want to let incubate before tipping off potential competitors?

Is there a killer business opportunity waiting out there for Android? Does it involve ads or something greater? How do you see yourself using cell phones to make purchases in the future - could your phone function as your credit card? Google filed a patent called GPay, basically Google Checkout on a cell phone. I’d use it.

Basically I want to get some ideas about these questions. If anyone has any musings, please comment or email me. Anonymous postings or hints from the silent winners will be honored and kept private.
