Say I had a lab with the sequencers needed for this test. I can't claim to understand the work needed to onboard into this new process, but my question is: how long does the onboarding take before the lab can process these 3840/day ?

this is gonna be a hit! It has it all: fun factor, social networking, great UX design

wow.. just amazing. Cutting-edge, like someone on ars said

all that could be said by a lot of startups. After the somewhat unexpected success of twitter, facebook and all that social crap, all investors are afraid of missing out on the next opportunity. Thus, artificially increasing the market and inflating the "bubble"

so basically, you're a pimp

noooooo.. Samsung screwed up a perfectly good OS again. Welcome to the tablet compatibility hell.

I actually know someone from Somalia who got successful there, got screwed and left to Holland. Got successful there again, and again got screwed and left to Romania. He has a successful business here, and he probably won't get screwed again :P After the first "failure", his connections helped him rise again.

OMG! This feels like 2012 (the movie). Seeing that tsunami is breathtaking. I sincerely hope lives aren't lost.

my .ppk is invaluable!

one drop in a big pond...

when action script will easily be converted to html5, then all mobile apps will finally move to the cloud

Rant: I just hate how now everything has to be about or revolute around Facebook.

Android got screwed big time by the carriers, and it looks like Google is now trying to make up for that, by exposing new features through libraries. Too bad it has come to this ...

Scoble is missing one important thing: there is absolutely NO way of finding out which apps are designed to work on Android Tablets, and which are built only for phones and will just (crappy) scale up.

Where is the request for allowing worldwide developers to sell apps ?

actually, for me the revenue is steadily growing. That's the advantage of ad-based revenue

It would be a good idea for all voters to specify which platform brings them money, and if the money comes from ads or from selling apps. For me, it's Android, ad-based applications.

works pretty well in chrome.

Because of the high quality of iOS and it's large market reach, Android development had to be rushed a great deal. This caused most of the programming power to go towards developing base features (android 1.x - 2.x) or implementing tablet features when the iPad arrived, and almost no resources were left for developers support (the emulators are awfully slow, severe lack of animations framework, etc...) and for bug fixing. Once things start to settle down, bugs will start to get fixed.

same here, but works on Chrome. And it's even pretty nice, I like it. Maybe figure out some way to show comments side by side with the original page?

what I don't understand is why the light is the point of reference. Just because it's the fastest "thing" we know ? Or is there some other reason ?

it will probably be configurable for a few versions of chrome. Probably permanent by Chrome 20 though...

yes, I saw that. But adding a "free" option will generate loads of free crap apps, and only very few will actually pay for the service. Check out the AppLoop case, which was the first service of this kind, but for the iphone: http://gigaom.com/apple/apploop-iphone-app-generator/ . I remember they had over 400 submissions in the first hours, and while they were shut down by Apple shortly it shows a good estimation of the kind of result this could have.

while I like the general flow and the resulted applications, I think this is just one more tool to add lots of low-quality content apps to the Android Market, already full with useless stuff. There are at least a dozen of similar services available right now (mostly paid though) doing that.

yes, they do, but it's limited, meaning there are a lot of applications that don't show up in their markets.

besides devices that can't access the store are those with limited access. Like the HTC Wildfire and the other devices with screen resolutions lower than 320x480

Android is (very) slowly starting to pick up. My apps have just started to bring a little more than $10k/month, from ads alone, while I have friends with million-dollar apps on the iPhone who haven't passed the $30k mark on the Android with the same PAID apps after a whole year. On Android, you have to build trust, even a user base (if you're not Angry Birds) before launching a paid product. Quality must be top-notch from day one, and god-forbid your app doesn't work on one device and some upset user "rewards" you with a first 1 star-review. I've seen countless apps being pounded for small issues at launch.

Long story short, if you want to make money with Android, you need to have loads of patience :-)

thanks!

can someone explain to me please how exactly are these money given? The startups receive the $150k in exchange for a percentage, or how ? I keep hearing the "no cap" and "no debt" thing, but I can't figure out what that means.

Thanks!
