Last week Google announded the winners of its Android mobile application developers challenge.
Android is the open source mobile operating system that Google hopes will offer competition to the iPhone platform, but across multiple handsets. To get developers excited about it, they offered prizes for the best application ideas, and these winners have now been announced.
A few of the applications make you say 'Huh?", but many more sound very useful, including:
GoCart - scan a barcode on your phone, then find cheapest prices online and in local stores
Cab4Me - find a local cab, anywhere in the world. Order a cab anywhere with a single click
Wertago - find the hottest parties locally, and coordinate nights out with friends
The cliche with mobile is that w're always about 18 months away from take-off. But now with these, and the popularity of the iPhone we could really be getting there.
