Part of what we do at work involves the mobile development space.

What I'm going to like the Android is the common development platform.

If you are coding a Java app for a Blackberry -- is it for the Curve, Storm,
Bold, etc,etc  CDMA or GSM?  You have to have all the phones and plans and
code specifically for each one if you want to make a seemless app that does
more than the basics.

Coding for Android *should* be phone-agnostic, other than SMS differences
between CDMA and GSM networks...

The bummer being Android APIs are nothing like J2ME on the other
platforms!   I guess it's JAL...

I'm looking forward wait to see how open the Verizon Android will be.
