About 3 minutes ago we got our 50th member registering. Welcome xXJEDI007Xx, if we had prizes I would give you one! Hopefully everyone is finding this site useful and is spending less time searching the internet for downloads than you would without this site. Please make sure you are voting for applications you try so that other users know if they work or not before downloading. Also please post any new downloads you find elsewhere so I can add them to the downloads section. Thank you for registering and happy downloading!
I was on freenode in #android chatting with some of the people there about my site and about how I was trying to add an “Authors Site” line on each download. I mentioned how hard it was to track down some of the developers sites because some of them do not have one. I had an idea and decided to try it out as a “beta”.
Developers who have already released applications or games for Android but are lacking a site of their own and would like a place to release their programs and offer support can apply for a “mini forum” and be given control (mostly) of that forum. They would then be able to keep an updated sticky about their latest versions, add FAQs and provide basic support from that forum. As I am unsure as to how well this will work out, these forums will be given to VERY SELECT developers at first while I test it out. Check it out here.
As reported by >androidguys.com a few minutes ago, Android devices are flying off of the shelves faster than they can be placed there. 1.5 million G1s have been sold already! I read reports that Android was “expected” to sell 400,000 units by the end of the year and it seems that number was a very inaccurate guess. Android is only out on one device so far and its already on its way to one and a half million users. I won’t even bother trying to guess the total sales by the end of the year or after the next Android device is released. The good news about this is that there are now 1.5 million more users scrounging around and begging for applications to use on their shiny new G1 and that will help developers put out more software. Here is to Android global domination (isn’t this something we are taught to fear from movies like iRobot?).
