Rover: Our Android Submission

We finished up our submission for the Android Developer’s Challenge this past weekend. The project is called Rover, and you can read more about it at our new site dedicated to the project: http://www.roverproject.com. We were a bit disappointed that we were not able to include everything we had planned, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. You can see a few sample tags we uploaded from the emulator over on roverproject.com to give you an idea of where we can go with this project. We have lots of ideas but little time these days so for now we’ll see what happens with the competition and proceed from there.

The mobile platform is definitely new and different from anything we’ve worked on in the past, and it will be exciting to see how well Google and the Open Handset Alliance are able to market it considering the level of competition they will face. In the end, though, the opposing price tag may make Android the platform of choice.
