true - although I think if people are put off a mobile platform cause of the initial incarnation of a programming language for it, then perhaps they aren't really that interested in the apps (only in the tech).
I don't think that's quite I'm saying. I'm not put off by the platform because of the initial incarnation of the language I still want an Android phone and expect to write programs for it at some point. Instead, I'm saying that I'm put off by the contest because of the rules - which is something different.
Ah ok. I am waiting until I can actually get an android phone before I would try. As fun as emulators are, there really is no substitute when its all about the user experience (ie how your app works when you are hurrying to catch a train or something - I have an iphone and I have to say its not too bad in that regard so far).
